Section 4. Configuration

After the ASM is installed (see section 3.1), it must be configured to work with the press. Configuration consists of several steps that depend on the options selected for the ASM.

NOTE! An access code is required to reach the configuration menus of the OmniLink 5000 press control. The code is provided separately from this manual for administrative control.

WARNING! Only qualified employees who are authorized by the user should configure the automatic set-up module. Failure to properly configure and calibrate the module can result in machine damage which, in turn, may result in injury or death to persons.

Section 4.1 Setting up the OmniLink 5000 for the Auto-Setup Module

The OmniLink 5000 press control must be “told” that the 5000-10 ASM is installed in the card rack.

If the module was installed at Link as part of an OmniLink 5000 package, this step will already be done and configuration should proceed with section 4.2.

a)Go to the Press Control (P/C) screen.

b)With the RUN/PROG key switch in the PROG position, press the “CONFIGURE” softkey and enter the configuration access code.

c)Press the “MACHINE PARAMETERS” softkey.

d)Press the “FACTORY CONFIG” softkey. The screen should now be similar to Figure 4.1.

e)Use the up and down arrow keys on the operator terminal to put the cursor on the “Automatic Setup” row and enter “001". If this parameter is “000" the OmniLink 5000 won’t recognize and respond to the ASM

f)Press the “EXIT” softkey until the “Press Control”

screen reappears.
