P03MACHINE CONFIGURATION 3
P03.01 Auxilary Function
Several preset auxiliary functions can be configured: light, scrap, and ejector. And one
or two freely configurable auxiliary functions can be added: F1 or F1+F2.
None: No auxiliary function configured.
Light: Light is configured.
F1: 1 auxiliary function is configured and called F1.
F1+F2: 2 auxiliary functions are configured, called F1 and F2, and can
be used separately or at the same time.
Scrap: The scrap function is configured. The scrap feature is a
compartment that opens to receive scrap cuts.
Ejector: The ejector function is configured. The ejector function is used
usually with front gauge to push the remaining metal backwards.
When auxiliary functions are configured, the below parameter determines if they are to
be applied to the whole machine (on-off on operator use), saved in the complete
program for a specific part, or saved in a sequence in a part.
mode: machine/part/sequence.
P03.02 Eco Mode
The Eco mode parameter defines after how much time of operator or machine
inactivity the CybTouch will switch to economical mode.
When switching into Eco mode the Pump on output is turned off and the screen
becomes darker.
Current value is usually 5-15 min.
Setting the Eco Mode to 0.0 min deactivates Eco mode.
Note: If the Start Pump button is not configured on the screen, but
wired conventionally, the Ecomodeoff output can be used to
switch off the pump after the Eco mode time is reached. Please refer
to basic electrical diagrams in the CybTouch 6 technical manual.

P03.03 Store/Delete Programs in Level 0
Here you can choose whether or not operators with access level 0 can be authorized
to store or delete programs in the CybTouch.
P03.04 HMI Locked in Level 0
The Human Machine Interface can be locked in level 0. This is commonly used when
machines are left unattended on exhibitions to prevent visitors from changing
programs.
When set to Yes, the operator will need a code to access programming (level 2).
The HMI will be automatically locked every time:
The CybTouch is switched off.
The CybTouch switches to Eco mode.
The HMI can be locked manually by opening the menu and pressing the icon.
The unlocking code is “55". See section Changing Access Level Security Passwords.
Another option: EasyOK, means that the CybTouch is locked in the EasyCut page.
This option is to make the machine very simple.
P03.05 Toggle Pages
If activated, the toggle button allows you to switch directly from any parameter
page "back" to the last working page visited before accessing the parameters.
Once you are in the working pages, touching allows you to return to the last
accessed parameter page.
This functionality is very useful for technicians during the machine set-up.
Its vivid orange color just informs the technician that this toggle page mode is active
and acts as a reminder to deactivate this functionality before machine delivery.
The Toggle pages button will disappear automatically from operator pages (Toggle
page parameter set to no) after 24 hours of inactivity.
P03.06 Show Cycle Steps
Cycle steps messages at the top of the screen can be displayed or not by activating or
deactivating the Show Cycle Steps parameter.
Ex: .
By default this parameter is set to Yes. The operator immediately knows in which
phase the machine currently is. This feature and the Machine Status pages are very
helpful during the first service calls between the operator and the service technician.

P03.07 Retraction
Retraction of the back gauge can be set as follow:
No: The backgauge will not retract.
Always: The backgauge will always retract.
Selectable: The backgauge will retract or not, this is defined by
operator.
Retraction is only possible if AutoCut function is active.
Retraction distance: Backgauge retraction distance
Mandatory for thickness over: Retraction is mandatory if
material is thicker than this parameter value.
P03.08 Analog Pressure
Analog pressure can be configured if a proportional pressure valve is used for the
system pressure of the machine. Output manages ramps and pressure levels
depending on programmed material.
When P03.09 Analog Pressure is set to Yes, P15 Pressure becomes available
in machine parameters.
P03.09 Cutting Length Sensor
CybTouch 6 G allows the choice between a linear encoder or a potentiometer for
angle and cutting length functions.
If 2 blade gaps are used, the angle and cutting length sensor must be an
encoder.
The sensor (potentiometer/linear encoder) must be positioned as far as possible to the
right of the machine in order to obtain maximum precision.
Encoder index must be positioned near to BDC (approx. 10 - 20 mm), before the
blades cross.

See section P04.04 Default Time for Max Cutting Length for more details.
P04.01 Max Programmable Cutting Length
This parameter is only available with swing shear machines. It is the maximum cutting
length, depending on the machine dimensions.
P04.02 Time Before Axis Start at BDC
After the beam begins to move up from BDC, this is an extra time that can be set
before axes (sheet support and back gauge begin to move. This parameter is only
active if P05.01 Axes Start At is set to BDC.
PM_CybTouch6_ Shears_v2.0.docpage 16 of 55
v2.0 Nov.12
P04.03 Default Time for Max Cutting Length
This is the default time it takes to cut a piece with the previously set maximum cutting
length in P01 Maximum Cutting Length.
This is the value set by default when working in the EasyCut and Program page.
This is also the maximum time the operator can program.
This parameter is only available with swing shear machines.
This time can easily be measured using the Wizard:
1. Touch the button, the below Wizard is displayed:
2. Press the foot pedal to lower the beam, the time it takes for the beam to go from
TDC position to BDC is measured (here 8.20 seconds).
3. Touch the button to exit the Wizard and return to the machine parameters
page.
4. The programmed cutting length value is now set.
P04.04 Time to Close Hold-Downs
This parameter determines the time before the output Time hold dn closed (for closing
the holdowns) is activated after the beam starts to descend from TDC max.
P04.05 Time to Close Hold-Downs if not TDC max
This parameter determines the time before the output Time hold dn closed (for closing
the holdowns) is activated after the beam starts to descend from a point below TDC
max, upon pressing foot pedal.
