Note that units to the right of the number are also an editable parameter. When the editing cursor is placed on the Max Die Weight units, we can press the “CHANGE UNIT” softkey to get a list of supported units. The units can be pounds, kilograms, tons, or metric tons. We are using pounds. Note that the units for minimum and maximum die weight will always be the same, but will not necessarily be the same as the “Display Weight As” units. This allows us to enter the die weights in whatever units the name plate uses, but operate the press in a different set of units.

“Min. Die Weight” for a counterbalance should typically be 0. This represents no tooling on the upper die.

The “Display Weight As” units we set to pounds.

The “Fault Time” we leave at 20 seconds.

The “Tolerance” is left at the default 2 psi.

Finally, we go back to the “Mode” line and use the “CHANGE MODE” key to toggle the mode to “ON”. The “Auto Sets” operation screen can now be used to set the air pressure or die weight. See section 5.2 for operation details.

Section A.2 Example Cushion Configuration

This example assumes the cushion system has been wired to the option board at “AS2". First, some information needs to be gathered.

From the press manual or cushion information plate we find that the effective area of the cushion is 100 square inches and the maximum operating pressure is 90 psi. This means that the cushion will exert 100 pounds of force for every 1 psi of cushion pressure (100 square inches * 1 pound per square inch). We also found out from experimentation that is takes about 3 psi to initially move the cushion, and that the cushion just starts to fall at 2 psi. This tells us that approximately 2 psi is required to overcome the weight of the cushion piston and pressure plate.

The pressure transducer installed on the system is a Setra model C206 that has a pressure range of 0 to 250 psi and an output of 4 to 20 ma.

A type “B” integrated valve controls the pressure (see section 3.1 for a discussion of valve types).

Now we go to the “Auto Sets” screen and with the RUN/PROG switch in PROG hit the “CONFIGURE” softkey. After typing the configuration code, we press the “CONFIGURE AIR” softkey.

Since the cushion is wired in at “AS2", if the slot reported on the screen in not already “AS2", we hit the “NEXT AIR SLOT” softkey until it is. The hardware detected should be “Fill/Dump”.

The first thing we must configure is the “Name” of the system. The cursor should already be on the “Name” line so we check to see if the name is already “Cushion #1". If not, the “CHANGE NAME” softkey allows us to cycle through the systems.
