The RUN/PROG key, a user code, or both may be required to change them. If a force setpoint is
entered, the proper pressure in psi will be calculated and applied to the system. Likewise if pressure is
entered, the force setpoint will be calculated and displayed.
Section 5.2.3 Air System Fault and Status
The last fault and current status of the air system are displayed for diagnostic and informational
purposes. Under normal conditions the “Fault” message should be “None”. If there is a problem with
an air system, it will be reported on the “Fault” line. “Status” gives the current state of the system such
as “At Pressure”, “Filling”, “Dumping” etc. For the most part these messages will be self explanatory.
See section 6 for a complete list of fault and status messages with explanations.
Section 5.3 Job Storage and Recall Issues
There are a few things to keep in mind for job storage and recall:
a) A store operation must be done for the current air pressure and slide adjust setpoints to be stored
in the job number. If you recall a job and then change one or more of the recalled setpoints, the
changed setpoints will not be stored for later recall unless you store the job again while the
setpoints are set at the new value.
b) Since one or more cushions may or may not be used with any given die, the On/Off status of
each cushion system is stored with the job. For example, Job #1 is stored with “Cushion #1"
turned off. Next, Job #2 is stored with “Cushion #1" turned on. Every time Job #1 is recalled,
“Cushion #1" will be turned off. Every time Job #2 is recalled, “Cushion #1" will be turned on.
Note that if the cushion system is in manual mode then the above does not apply!
c) If a job is recalled when the press is not at the top, the slide adjust system will display a status of
“Waiting for Top”. When the press does reach the top and all other necessary conditions are
satisfied, the slide will go to the slide setpoint.
d) If a job is recalled when the slide adjust switch is not on, the slide adjust system will display a
status of “Waiting S/A Switch”. When the slide adjust switch is turned on and all other
necessary conditions are satisfied, the slide will go to the slide setpoint.
e) When a job is recalled, the slide will not complete the auto adjust sequence until the
counterbalance system, if present, has at least reached operating pressure. While the slide is
waiting it will display a status of “Waiting for Cntr-Bal”. This allows the counterbalance to take
up any clearances in the system for a consistent setup.
f) If a slide adjust system is stored in a job with a slide setpoint of 0, then when that job is recalled
the current setpoint will not be replaced and the slide will not move. This is to accommodate
intermediate jobs in a setup that may need to cycle cushion pressures before the slide moves.
