Section 1 Introduction The 5000-10 Auto-Setup Module (ASM) allows the OmniLink 5000 Press and Automation control to set up press shut height, counterbalance air pressure, cushion air pressures, and hydraulic overload pressure settings automatically when jobs are recalled from memory. It consists of a base 5000-10 microprocessor board that installs in the OmniLink extended card rack, and additional modules that may be mounted on the base board to provide pressure or shut height adjustment func

Section 1.3 Shut Height Control When a linear or rotary shut height control module is provided, the OmniLink 5000 can provide accurate, repeatable shut height adjustment on presses that are in reasonable mechanical condition, enhancing parts quality and reducing setup time. This system uses the existing slide motor starter. Section 1.4 Hydraulic Overload Control Most presses use a hydraulic overload system in which an air pressure sets up a much greater hydraulic pressure to control the trip p

Section 2 Parameter Entry and Access Control Section 2.1 Parameter Entry Throughout the OmniLink control, a fairly standard form of data entry is employed. When data entry is allowed, an “editing cursor” will appear on the screen. This cursor can typically be moved from parameter to parameter on the screen with the up, down, left, and right arrow keys. The topmost softkey is used to select the parameter for editing and can change description depending on the parameter selected. Section 2.1.1

Figure 2.1: Example Text Entry c) The fist character of the text is highlighted with the text cursor. The CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT softkeys will move this cursor. d) Use the left and right arrow keys to point to the letter desired in the letter box next to the text being edited. This box will just appear above or just below the text to be edited depending on where it is in the screen. Hit the SELECT LETTER softkey to place that letter at the text cursor. In the example above, the text cur

Section 2.2 Access Control The OmniLink control has several parameters or operations that have limited access. In regards to the auto setup module the ability to perform the actions of resetting faults or changing limits must be restricted to certain personnel. The OmniLink control provides several means to limit access to these parameters or operations. These parameters and operations are called restricted items. The OmniLink control employs combinations of two different means to limit ac

The example above can be taken one additional step if two press operators are given different user names and different passwords. One operator can be assigned the ability to change auto setup limits in addition to the ability to reset faults, while the other operator is not assigned the ability to change the limits. Section 2.2.3 Password Only Mode The “Password Only” mode allows for sixteen users. Each user can be assigned access to some or all of the restricted items. This mode does not u

When operating in the Key Only mode the key switch is the only means available to access the restricted items. All restricted items are accessible when the RUN/PROG key switch is switched to the PROG position. When operating in the “Key or Password” mode, the key switch is one of the means available to access the restricted items. All restricted items are accessible when the RUN/PROG key switch is switched to the PROG position. When operating in the “Key and Password” mode, the key switch and

Step A: Select the restricted item. In the example shown in Figure 2.2 the restricted item is Slide Adjust #1 setpoint. Once the parameter is selected then Softkey # 1, the upper vertical softkey (Softkey # 1 is highlighted in Figure 2.2) , will display the legend “SELECT”. Step B: A list of users that have access to this restricted item will appear. In the example shown in Figure 2.2 only User Number One, User Number Two, and User Number Five have access to this restricted parameter. The s

Section 3. Installation Section 3.1 Auto-Setup Module Installation The 5000-10 Auto-Setup Module (ASM) installs in the OmniLink 5000 extended card rack. Figure 3.1 shows the location of the ASM in the last slot of the extended card rack. To remove the module, loosen the knurled screws at the top and bottom of the board and use them to pull the board straight out of the rack. To install, start the module in the card guide slots on the rack, push straight into the rack to firmly seat the modul

Section 3.2 Valve Systems Counterbalance and cushion systems are very similar in the way they are controlled. Three basic integrated valve configurations are available from Link to be used with the OmniLink 5000 ASM. For clarity in the following sections, these valve configurations are defined here. Type “A” An integrated Fill/Dump Valve as shown in Figure 3.2. This valve has the advantage of simple straight through piping with all pilot pressures run internally and is easily mounted. It ma
Summary of the content on the page No. 17
Type “C” An integrated Fill/Dump valve with a manual regulator, check valve, and LOX valve, and a four-way valve that selects whether the pressure is set by the automatic system or the manual regulator as shown in Figure 3.4 for cushion and counterbalance adjustment. Unlike the type “B” valve, the manual regulator can be set to any allowable pressure without interfering with automatic pressure adjustment- it does not have to be a minimum pressure. This system is ideal for press counterbalanc

For automatic control, the pressure regulator and check valve are replaced with an air valve system. Figures 3.6 and 3.7 illustrate systems using the Type “A” and Type “C” valves described in section 3.2. In all cases a pressure transducer is used to monitor the air pressure.

Section 3.3.1 Counterbalance Pressure Transducer Mounting The system uses an automatic method of control in which the fill valve or dump valve is energized to raise or lower the pressure of the system and a pressure transducer is used to “tell” the ASM what pressure is in the system. The pressure transducer is constantly monitored to verify that the system is at the proper pressure. When filling or dumping air into or out of the counterbalance, the transducer tells the system when to stop.

Section 3.3.2 Counterbalance Air Valve System Mounting The mounting location of the valve system is not critical. Consideration should be given, however, to ease of maintenance, plumbing, and wiring when choosing the mounting location. Also note that sometimes the check valve in the original system may be up at the surge tank itself. The check valve in the original system must be removed for the automatic system to work properly. Section 3.3.3 Counterbalance System Wiring Refer to Appendix
