Using the arrow keys, we move the cursor to the “Transducer Type” line. Looking at table 4.1, we see that the transducer type for any model pressure transducer with a 250 psi pressure range and a 4 to 20 ma output is “Type 3”. We hit the “CHANGE TYPE” softkey and select Type 3 from the list that appears. When the proper type is selected, the “Air Pressure” line should change to read the pressure currently in the cushion system.

Next we move the editing cursor to the “Maximum Pressure” line. Since we found earlier that the maximum pressure allowed on the cushion is 90 psi, we hit the “CHANGE MAX PRES” softkey and key in this value.

Going to the “Minimum Pressure” line, we enter in 2 psi, the value that just supports the weight of the cushion piston and pressure plate.

Next we have to calculate “Max. Cushion Force”. We know that for every psi the cushion will generate 100 pounds of force. Since the maximum pressure is 90 psi and 2 psi is used to overcome the cushion weight, the max force will be (90 psi - 2 psi) * 100 square inches - or 8800 pounds. 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 cushion force will always be the same, but will not necessarily be the same as the “Display Force As” units. This allows us to enter the maximum and minimum cushion forces in whatever units the name plate uses, but operate the press in a different set of units.

“Min. Cushion Force” for the cushion should be 0. This is because the minimum pressure (2 psi) is only sufficient to balance the cushion itself.

The “Display Force 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” softkey to toggle the mode to “ON”. The “Auto Sets” operation screen can now be used to set the air pressure or cushion force. See section 5.2 for operation details.

Section A.3 Example Hydraulic Overload Configuration

This example assumes the hydraulic overload system has been wired to the base auto setup board at “AS7". First, some information needs to be gathered.

From the press manual or the press manufacturer, find the minimum air pressure at which the hydraulic overload system will reliably operate and the tonnage trip point that corresponds to that pressure. Also find the maximum pressure at which the hydraulic overload is intended to operate and the tonnage trip point that corresponds to that pressure. Assume we find that the maximum pressure is 80 psi and corresponds to a 400 ton trip point. We also find that the press manufacturer recommends a pressure no lower than 20 psi which represents a 100 ton trip point.
