means available to access Program Mode. All settings and actions for the system are accessible to
anyone when the Program/Run key switch is switched to the PROG position.
If Code Only access mode is selected by the user in the configuration mode, the Program/Run key will
only be used to provide access (in conjunction with the User Configuration Code) to the User
Configuration Mode. The Program/Run key will not access Program Mode. Programming Mode is
accessed by code (password) only. Up to 16 employees (or employee classifications) may be assigned
numeric codes (passwords) and a list of assigned settings and actions that each code assignee may
perform in the Program Mode. Each employee assigned a code can use code (password) access without
the Program/Run key. Each code will only grant access to perform the settings and actions in Program
Mode assigned by the employer for the person with that specific code. Program mode settings and
actions not specifically assigned to a code cannot be performed by the code assignee.
If Key or Code access mode is selected by the user in the User Configuration Mode, the key switch is
one of two means available to access Program Mode. All settings and actions for the system are
accessible when the Program/Run key switch is switched to the PROG position. In addition, Program
Mode can be accessed by code. Up to 16 employees (or employee classifications) may be assigned
passwords (codes) and a list of assigned settings and actions (permissions) that each code may perform
in the Program Mode just as in Code Only access mode.
If Key and Code access mode is selected by the user in the User Configuration Mode, both the key
switch and code (password) must be used to access Program Mode. Up to 16 employees (or employee
classifications) may be assigned passwords (codes) and a list of assigned settings and actions that each
code may perform in the Program Mode just as in Code Only access mode.
Section 3.9.2 Using Key Only Access to Program Mode for Settings and Actions
If Key Only Access Mode is chosen, the only way to enter the Program Mode for screens which require
settings or actions (such as reset and bypass) to be made in Program Mode is by use of the Program/Run
key to select Program. Generally, the softkeys that are associated with performing settings and actions
will appear only when the Run/Program switch is in the Program position. The only softkeys associated
with performing settings and actions that will appear in Run Mode are those associated with the limited
number of settings or actions that are configured by the user to be allowed in Run Mode, as described in
Section 4.2.4.3.2. The following example uses the optional Die Protection and Process Monitoring
function of the OmniLink II Press Automation Control to illustrate the Key Only Access Mode.
Figure 3.7 illustrates the main die protection screen for module 1, channels 1-8 when Key Only Access
Mode is selected. Note that channel 5 is highlighted in Figure 3.7. With the Program/Run switch in Run
position, pressing the CHANNEL SETTINGS softkey will select the channel settings screen shown in
Figure 3.8 to allow viewing the settings for channel 5. However, you won’t be able to make changes to
the settings unless the Program/Run switch is turned to the Program position, enabling settings to be
changed through use of the setting functions provided by the use of the upper right softkey available
only in Program Mode in Figure 3.8. Also, note that the RESET FAULT softkey for a Die Protection
fault appears only in Program Mode in Figure 3.7. This restricts the action of resetting a die protection
fault to Program Mode (Run/Program switch in Program) since no softkey exists to reset the fault in Run
Mode. Note! The condition that creates a die protection fault must be cleared before the RESET
FAULT softkey will perform a reset.
