P03 MACHINE 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 Eco mode off 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.

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.
