for the shut height setpoint. See section 6 for an explanation of all status messages for the various sub-systems.

c)Each configured sub-system has a fault message. Under normal conditions, this fault should read “None”. See section 6 for an explanation of all fault messages for the various sub-systems.

d)Air pressure controlled sub-systems (counterbalances, cushions, and hydraulic overload) display the current actual pressure for that system in large numbers for easy visibility.

e)Cushions allow the setpoint pressure to be entered directly in psi or to be set in force. This force can be pounds, kilograms, tons, or metric tons depending on how the system is configured. The configuration parameters (see section 4.2.1) allow the system to convert from force to psi automatically.

f)Air pressure controlled sub-systems (counterbalances, cushions, and hydraulic overload) have a pressure setpoint in psi. This number is the intended pressure for that system.

g)Counterbalances allow the setpoint pressure to be entered directly in psi or to be set in terms of die weight. This weight can be pounds, kilograms, tons, or metric tons depending on how the system is configured. The configuration parameters (see section 4.2.1) allow the system to convert from weight to psi automatically.

h)Slide adjust system show the shut height reported by the transducer in large numbers for easy visibility. This number will be in inches or millimeters depending on how the system is configured. See section 4.2.2 for details.

i)The slide setpoint is the desired shut height for a slide in inches or millimeters depending on how the system is configured (see section 4.2.2 for details).

j)Each configured sub-system has an indicator that tells what mode the system is in - ON, OFF, or MANUAL. See section 4 for details on the mode.

k)Each configured sub-system is named at the top of the box in which its parameters and settings are shown.

l)Hydraulic overloads allow the setpoint pressure to be entered directly in psi or to be set in terms of press trip point. This point can be pounds, kilograms, tons, or metric tons depending on how the system is configured. The configuration parameters (see section 4.2.1) allow the system to convert from trip point to psi automatically.

There are a number of softkeys in this screen:

“CHANGE NUMBER” This key allows the parameter that the editing cursor is currently on to be changed. The editing cursor may be placed on a parameter using the up, down, left, and right arrow keys. This key is not always available depending on the access code configuration as defined in section 2.
