P30 SECURITY DISTANCE (DISTANCE AT LOW SPEED)

This is the safety distance from the stroke end (SE) at which the back gauge switches from manual high speed (P14) to manual low speed (P13), or vice versa.

This security distance provides extra security when approaching stroke end and avoids vibrations at the end of the ball screw drives.

IMORTANT: P30 must be

< [(SE–) – (SE +)] / 2

MACHINE PARAMETERS PAGE 9

P31 NUMBER OF SUPPLEMENTARY LEGS

In the case of an axis with several gauge arms, P31 defines the number of supplementary arms (max. 7).

PAGE 10 MACHINE PARAMETERS DNC 60 G

P32 LEG DISTANCE

P32 defines the separation between two consecutive arms. The separation between 2 consecutive arms being always the same.

P33 SHEET PRESENT SPEED

In the case of a take sheet cycle, without square, the P33 defines the speed at which the axis moves once the clamp has detected the sheet.

P34 TYPE MANAGEMENT AXIS

Remark: This field is accessible only on X4, X5, X6.

Definitions:

y The dependant axes will follow the cycle sequences.

y The independent axes will execute their own advance sequence with

their signal "Start Xn".

y The axes with automatic "Start" will have their positioning departure

synchronized with the departure of the shear axes (X1/X2/X3).

y The axes with an external "Start" will have their positioning departure

commanded by their signal "Start Xn".

Modes:

0 or __: Auxiliary axis dependant on the cycle with automatic "Start".

1 (D0): Auxiliary axis independent of the cycle with external "Start"

(masked time).

4 (D2): Auxiliary axis dependant on the cycle with external "Start". In this

mode, the axis' sequences follow the cycle sequences but the cycle does not wait for the end of axis positioning to execute the advanced sequence (masked time).

2 (D1): Only for X4, this mode indicates that X4 is used as a second

backgauge.

MACHINE PARAMETERS PAGE 11

X1, X2: frontgauges X3, X4: backgauges

Remark: P35, P36, P37 are accessible only on X1 and X3.

P35 RETRACTION DISTANCE

Sufficient distance for the axis retraction.

This retraction is made:

1) Before the cut for backgauges. By cutting, the sheet spreads. The gauge must be retracted.

2) After the cut for frontgauges. After the cut, the sheet holder moves upward. The sheet has to be retracted in order to enable the raising of the blade without rubbing.

The cycle will only wait for the axis to reach its retraction value (in high speed), then the axis will be stopped independently of the machine cycle.

P36 HOLD-DOWNS TIME

Negative value: This value is interpreted as a retraction delay time and

allows to wait for the hold-down to pressure up before starting the retraction.

After receiving the HOLD-DOWN CLOSED signal

(0V) the DNC waits for the time programmed in this parameter before starting the retraction.

Positive value:

The programmable range for this time is situated between -9,99 and +9,99 seconds.

This parameter (programmed positive) defines machine

functioning without the HOLD-DOWN input signal.

Effectively this signal is replaced by the programmed

time. As soon as the CUTTING AUTHORIZATION

signal is furnished, the DNC will wait for the programmed time then start the retraction. After this time has elapsed, the DNC considers that the sheet is held down.

PAGE 12 MACHINE PARAMETERS DNC 60 G

P37 CORRECTION FACTOR BLADE GAP

This parameter allows to correct the axis positioning value as a function of the blade gap defined in the product. The DNC applies a constant correction, to all the programmed positioning values, as a function of the blade gap and this parameter.

Cv = Cp + P37 * Jc Cv Axis positioning value (target value) CP Programmed value Jc Blade gap P37 positive Back gauge cycle P37 negative Front gauge cycle

At each STOP the DNC displays the real axis value (with the correction).

No error handling

Display of alarm messages in the interactive field, but no machine stop.

Display of alarm messages in the interactive field, the

DNC goes into MANUAL mode, and the pressing of

the

key of the front panel is being simulated.

P39 TDC TIME

This parameter is only used if for the RAKE ANGLE (AF2) and CUTTING LENGTH (AF3) functions only one potentiometer is used.

This time is used to delay the adjustment of the RAKE ANGLE function (AF2 P70 = 2 or 50) after reception of the TDC signal in order to wait for

the stabilization of the blade at the TDC. Effectively, in this configuration it is only possible to adjust the rake angle if the blade is completely stopped at the TDC.

P40 NONE SYNCHRO LIMIT (OPENED CLAMPS / CLOSED CLAMPS)

This double parameter defines the maximum separation authorized between

X1 and X2 with the clamps opened and closed.

This safety control is switched on as soon as an axis moves. If the limit is reached, the axis is stopped and an error is signalled.

It also allows to deal with all mechanical backgauge configurations (eg. gauges joined by a bar).

P41 DISTANCE "SHEET PRESENT" <–> "BOTTOM OF

MECHANICAL CLAMP"

This distance should be greater than the distance between the sheet detector and the mechanical bottom of the clamp.

It is used in sheet taking cycles without square.

P42 DISTANCE "SHEET PRESENT" <–> "BOTTOM OF

ELECTRONIC CLAMP

This distance should be less than the distance between the sheet detector and the mechanical bottom of the clamp. It is used in sheet taking cycles with square or in "Square=2" mode. It prevents the clamps from touching the sheet before they are closed.

PAGE 14 MACHINE PARAMETERS DNC 60 G

P43 CLAMP DISENGAGEMENT TIME

Remark: The programming of this parameter determines the use or not of

clamps. Undefined = machine without clamps Defined = machine with clamps.

This delay is used to make a safety control on the disengagement of the sheet from the clamps.

In the case of a cycle "without sheet", "without cutting", the clamps will open then the axis will move backwards to disengage the clamps.

The DNC will control only after the P43 time that the "sheet present" signal has disappeared. If the sheet remains blocked in the clamps, the axes are stopped and an error is signalled.

P44 DISTANCE SHEET INDEX <–> BLADE

This parameter indicates the distance between the sheet detection point and the cutting line.

This parameter is used in the case where an indirect measure of the sheet is to be made before it is cut.

This working mode is selected by programming the value 2 (D1) in the Take

sheet field.

P49 EJECTION TIME

This parameter should only be programmed in the case where the clamps are equipped with ejectors.

In the case where the Ejection field has been defined (on the sequence

page) the ejection cycle is as follows:

P49 positive:

1) Set ejection signal

2) Ejection time (P49)

3) Clamp opening

4) Reset ejection signal

P49 negative:

1) Clamp opening

2) Set ejection signal

3) Ejection time (P49)

4) Reset ejection signal

MACHINE PARAMETERS PAGE 15

P50 MAXIMUM SHEET WIDTH

This parameter should only be programmed in the event that the machine is equipped with function (F3), measuring the length of the cut or function (F2), measuring the rake angle. It defines the maximum cutting length of the machine.

The three parameters which follow (P51, P52, P53) should be programmed only for machines equipped with 2 frontgauge clamps (X1, X2) of which X1 (left leg) is fixed and X2 (right leg) is fitted with an articulated arm.

P51 DISTANCE STOP X1 <–> SQUARE

This parameter defines the distance between the left leg and the right end of the blade (generally the square).

P52 ARTICULATED ARM LENGTH

This parameter defines the distance between the axis of the articulated arm and the axis of the cylinder holding the sheet.

P53 MAXIMUM ROTATION ARM ANGLE

This parameter defines the maximum angle of rotation authorized for the articulated arm.

Min and max rake angle authorized.

P55 DISTANCE Í FIXED POINT BLADE

Distance between the left extremity of the lower blade and the axis of the rotation point of the upper blade. This rotation point being fixed (no vertical variation) regardless of the rake angle. (See figure 4, page 43).

the case where this point does not exist the point with the least variation is

In chosen.

N.B.: This point can be situated outside the cutting range (to the right).

In this case, P55 can be defined negative.

P56 CYCLE OPTION

This parameter is used to define the cyle options explained hereafter.

D0 = 0 The gauge axis starts its positioning when the blade arrives at

the TDC.

D0 = 1 The gauge axis starts its positioning when the blade arrives at

the TDC if the gauge approachs the blade. Positioning in SN (negative sense). The gauge axis starts its positioning when the blade arrives at the BDC if the gauge moves away from the blade. Positioning in SP (positive sense).

D1 = 1 The gauge axis starts its positioning when the blade arrives at

the BDC.

D2 = 1 The Retraction field is not displayed in key position 0 or 1. D3 = 1 Activates the messaging of the cycle follow-up information.

P57 ACCESS TO EASYCUT MODE

MACHINE PARAMETERS PAGE 17

P58 DISTANCE POTENTIOMETER

Horizontal distance between the left edge of the lower blade and the potentiometer position. This parameter must be greater than P55 and less than or equal to P50 (P55 < P58 ≤ P50). If this parameter is not definied, it will take the default value of P50.

MATERIAL

The name of the material is programmed in 4 characters in the fields located

on the line headed -MATERIAL-.

The name of the material is defined in alpha numerical using the manual displacement keys. You will find a description of the use of the manual displacement keys for defining the alpha numerical characters in the paragraph concerning the auxiliary functions.

DEFAULT THICKNESS

For each material you can program a default thickness. When clearing the buffer or selecting another material, if the default thickness is defined, then it

will be transferred in the Thickness field of the product.

P70 FUNCTION TYPE

Definitions:

y The dependent auxiliary functions follow the sequences of the cycle. y The auxiliary functions with automatic START have their

management start synchronised with their axis start.

y The independent auxiliary functions execute their own advance

sequence and START with their signal START AFn.

y The auxiliary functions with external START have their management

start triggered by their START AFn signal.

Programming:

P70 = undefined

P70 = 0

P70 = 1 (D0)

P70 = 2 (D1)

P70 = 4 (D2)

AF dependent on the machine cycle with

automatic START.

The code 0 prohibits display of the function, but allows to reserve the function outputs in digital mode. The aim of this is to avoid a difference of the auxiliary functions as a function of the configuration of the machine options. The wiring can be standardized.

Cycle-independent AF with independent

advance sequence and external START.

Special AF with internal calculations:

- for F1 and F5: blade gap

- for F2: cutting angle

- for F3: cutting length (BDC)

- for F4: timer for flying cut

- for F7: sheet thickness measurement

AF dependent on the cycle for the advance sequence, but having its own management

start, supplied by its corresponding START

AFn signal.

P71 DIGITAL MODE

This parameter configures the AF in digital mode. The programmed number (maximum 8) corresponds to the number of 24V output wires (binary coded) for the chosen function. This number of outputs is reserved.

P107 Return Sheet Support at TDC

This parameter controls whether the sheet support goes back to position 1 (high) after the blade reaches TDC or whether it remains in the lower position.

If the value for this parameter is 1, the sheet support goes to position 1 at the end of the time specified in P102.

You may also use parameter P107 if you need to ensure that the sheet support only goes up after blade, eg, to avoid collisions between the two.

P115 Sheet Support Start Delay

This parameter is the delay between the cutting authorization signal and the start of the sheet support cycle. (Value range : from 0.01 to 9.99 seconds, Default value = 1 second)

Reminder: in a work cycle without sheet support, parameter P36 is the specified time between the cutting authorization and the moment where the hold-downs are tightened, that is, when the blade can start going down.

When using a sheet support, you must enter a value for P36: this parameter then acts as an additional security.

As a rule, the sheet support cycle must start after the metal is clamped: P115 must be greater than P36. However, in special situations, the support cycle may need to start before the metal is clamped. In this case, P115 must be less than P36.

Using a pressure sensor may shorten the duration of both P115 and P36.

P116 A-TW Start Delay

This parameter is the delay between the cutting authorization signal and the start of the anti-twist device's cycle. (Value range : from 0.01 to 9.99 seconds, Default value = 1 second)

Reminder: in a work cycle without sheet support, parameter P36 (Hold Downs Time) is the specified time between the cutting authorization and the moment where the hold-downs are tightened, that is, when the blade can start going down.

PAGE 36 MACHINE PARAMETERS DNC 60 G

When using a sheet support, you must enter a value for P36: this parameter then acts as an additional security.

As a rule, the anti-twist device cycle must start after the metal is clamped: P116 must be greater than P36. However, in special situations, the anti-twist device cycle may need to start before the metal is clamped. In this case, P116 must be less than P36.

Using a pressure sensor on the hold-downs may shorten the duration of both P116 and P36.

P108 A-TW Time Up

Estimation of the time needed for the anti-twist device to go up to the high position. This parameter is similar to P105 for sheet support.

P109 A-TW Time

This specified time starts when the blade is at BDC and the anti-twist device at a low position, and ends when the A-TW device starts going up. (Value range: from 0 to 9.99 seconds)

P110 A-TW Time Down

This parameter is an estimation of the time needed for the sheet support to go down to the lower position. (value range : from 0 to 9.99 seconds)

P111 Return A-TW at TDC

If the value for this parameter is 1, the anti-twist device goes back up after the blade reaches TDC and the time specified in P109 has elapsed.

Use this parameter if you need the anti-twist device to go back up after the blade.

FLYING CUT FUNCTION (F4)

The Flying Cut input (at 24V) allows to automatically link several cuts

without having to release and press again the foot pedal in order to obtain the

subsequent cut. The Cutting Authorization is issued as soon as the TDC is

reached and the axes are in position.

In order to allow sufficient time to the operator for putting the sheet against the backgauge, it is possible to introduce a time-out between the end of the

axes positioning (and the return to TDC) and the output of the Cutting Authorization signal.

This time-out can be programmed, per sequence, in AF4 which will have been defined in the Flying Cut mode beforehand.

SHEET SUPPORT

Sheet supports are used to support metal sheets before hold-downs are clamped (before shearing). They also help the sheared parts to slide down onto a tray or stacker once they are cut.

The cycle of a sheet support starts after the hold-downs are tightened and ends after they have been released (after the blade has reached the bottom dead center).

FUNCTIONALITIES PAGE 55

CONFIGURATION

When using a sheet support, you need to define a number of inputs, outputs and parameters.

Inputs

C1SupTol: Input used for the sensor on position 1 (high

position), regardless of the number of positions of your support.

C2SupTol: Input used for sensor on position 2:

= low position on a 2-position support = high position on a 3-position support

C3SupTol: Input for sensor on position 3, which is the low

position for 3 position support

Connecting 3 sensors to the numerical control is enough to indicate to the DNC that you are using a 3-position support.

CprSeTol: CprSeTol is the short for Capteur Pression Serre

Tôle: Hold-down Pressure Sensor. This input is optional. When active, it signals that the metal holddowns are tightened and that the sheet support cycle may start.

Reminder: The hold-downs are typically

controlled by parameter P36 Hold Downs Time: the countdown for the specified time

starts as soon as the Cutting Authorization is given. This parameter must be configured, even when

input CprSeTol is used. In this case, the

specified time is used as a security.

However, parameter Hold Downs Time may

be used on its own, that is, even when input

CprSeTol is not connected.

Outputs

SupTolUp: Output that controls all upward moves of the

sheet support.

SupTolDn: Output that controls all downward moves of the

PAGE 56 MACHINE PARAMETERS DNC 60 G

sheet support.

STSingle: This output switches to 1 when the output

SupTolDn becomes active, and switches to 0

when SupTolUp becomes active.

This ouput acts as a unique control that sends the

sheet support on low position and holds it down

for the required duration (in supports where the high position is the default, eg in a monostable actuator).

Sheet Support Up (Output SupTolUp)

Sheet Support Down (Output SupTolDn)

The value in this field only applies to the current sequence: it may change at every sequence.

FUNCTIONALITIES PAGE 57

CYCLE OF A 2-POSITION SHEET SUPPORT

A 2-position sheet support may be configured in several ways:

- with 2 sensors (C1SupTol and C2SupTol) controlling the actual

position of the support,

- with 2 specified time parameters P105 and P106: the actual position of

the support is not controlled,

- with 1 or 2 sensors (C1SupTol / C2SupTol) and 1 or 2 specified time

parameters (P105 / P106).

This section explains how the most common configurations work. Other configurations may work just as well. However, they are not documented here.

Configuration 1: 2 sensors (C1SupTol and C2SupTol)

In this configuration, the position of the sheet support is controlled by 2

sensors C1SupTol and C2SupTol. Parameters P 103 and P106 are not set.

(SupTol) = 1

At the beginning of the work cycle, the sheet support is always in high position.

As soon as the DNC receives the signal for cutting authorization (or cut

order), the countdown of parameter P115 (SHEET SUPPORT START DELAY) starts. At the end of the countdown, the sheet support goes down to

position 2 (low), and activates the sensor located at that position.

Once the blade reaches BDC and the support is in position 2, the countdown

of the specified time SHEET SUPPORT TIME (P102) begins. If the value in the SupTol field of the next sequence is 1, the support will go

back to position 1 (high) at the end of the countdown. If the value is 0 or undefined, the support remains in position 2 (low).

At the beginning of the working cycle, the support goes down to position 2 (low).

The support then remains in the low position until the blade reaches BDC.

At that point, the DNC checks whether the support is used in the next

sequence (SupTol = 1). If it is, the support goes back to position 1 (high) after SHEET SUPPORT TIME. If not, it stays in position 2 (low).

Configuration 2: 2 Parameters P105 and P106

In this configuration, the sheet support is controlled by parameters P105 and P106. (The DNC does not know the exact location of the support, but extrapolates it based on the statuses of these 2 parameters).

The operating mode of the support as controlled by the time parameters P105 and P106 is very similar to that controlled by 2 sensors, with the following exceptions:

• The sheet support stops going up when the time specified in P105

(TEMPO SUPPORT TOLE UP) has expired. (Unlike Configuration 1, there is no sensor signal C1SupTol).

• The support stops going down when the time specified in P105

(TEMPO SUPPORT TOLE UP) has expired. (Unlike Configuration 1, there is no sensor signal C2SupTol).

At the beginning of the work cycle, the support goes up to position 1 (high).

As soon as the DNC receives the signal for cutting authorization (or cut

support goes down to position 2 (intermediate), and activates the sensor located at that position.

Once the blade reaches BDC, the support goes down to position 3 (low), while the blade goes back up.

FUNCTIONALITIES PAGE 61

When the support reaches position 3 and activates sensor C3Suptol, the countdown of the specified time SHEET SUPPORT TIME (P102) begins.

If the value in the SupTol field of the next sequence is 1, the support will go

ANTI-TWIST DEVICE

An anti-twist device is a piece of equipment that will prevent the sheet from twisting when you cut lengthy pieces of metal.

When you start cutting, the device is in high position and holds up the metal sheet. It is then lowered to support the sheet during cutting.

The DNC 60 G16 controls this type of device in the same way as a 2-position sheet support (without sensors), that is, with specified times (for more details, please refer to section Sheet Support on page 55).

INPUTS/OUTPUTS

In order to implement an anti-twist device, you must configure the 2 following outputs:

INPUT CLEARANCE X

The clearance of the backgauge X towards the back of the machine allows to avoid the spin of the sheet when a cut is only of low width.

This functionality is active as soon as the input Clearance X is

configurated.

In SEMI-AUTOMATIC or AUTOMATIC mode, as soon as the blade goes down, or in MANUAL mode:

- An ascending front on this input provokes the sending of X to LSW+.

- A descending front on this input provokes the standstill of X.

BACKGAUGE FOLDAWAY X

The backgauge foldaway allows to cut sheets longer than its max. limit switch.

In the MACHINE PARAMETERS page, the 2 following parameters must

be configurated:

y P94 = PARK DISTANCE (see figure).

y P95 = CRAWL DISTANCE (see figure).

P94 defines the safety distance from the max. limit switch where the gauge

is retracted.

The PARK TARGET (= LSW max. – P94) is the absolute value from which

the gauge is completely retracted.

INPUT/OUTPUT CONFIGURATION PAGE 65

P95 defines the transition distance between the normal position of the

the park zone where it will stop the movement of the backgauge before the rise. The stop when the backgauge goes down is done by this sensor. (This input must be configurated.)

• IN BG Up: Input for the foldaway up sensor. This sensor indicates the

up position when the backgauge is retracted. (This input can be configurated.)

• OUTBg Dn: Output to active the backgauge going down. (This output

must be configurated.)

• OUTBg Up: Output to active the backgauge rise. (This output must be

configurated.)

Remark: If the IN BG Dn input isn’t activated and the IN BG Up input

isn’t configurated, the backgauge isn’t necessarily at the up position for the software.

Functionnement

If X MEM is not defined and the foldaway takes place (entry of X in PARK

zone), after the stopping of the axes and the auxiliary functions the DNC will

supply a pressure during the time defined by P96d, allowing to move up the backgauge. The pressure stops with the help of the activation of the IN Bg

Up input (if it is configured) or by the end of the temporization defined by P96a. If the temporization has finished before the input is active (and

configured), a message is displayed with a pop-up.

This functionality is active as soon as the input SetPressure is

configurated.

On the ascending front of this input:

If the current pressure is zero (i.e. if no other pressure is active so far);

then upstroking in pressure towards the Pressure Blade up.

On the descending front:

FACILITATED UP/DOWN MANIPULATION OF THE BLADE

This functionality facilitates the calibration of the auxiliary function AF3

(cutting length).

With the cursor in the field Min or Max D/A AF3 (= P79 or P80):

y Each pedal pressing provokes the upstroking or the downstroking of

the blade.

y Each pedal releasing provokes the falling back of the outputs

Blade Up or Blade Down.

If the duration between two successive pedal pressings is longer than 2 seconds, then the direction of the blade movement is inversed, otherwise the direction remains the same.

To indicate the direction of the next movement, the messages Next UP and Next DOWN are displayed 2 seconds after the last pedal pressing.

PAGE 70 MACHINE PARAMETERS DNC 60 G

INTERNAL BACKUP (SAVE)

A machine parameter and tools backup is available in the internal memory. A restoration can also be performed from this same internal memory.

This functionality is exclusively used by the manufacturer to memorize the parameters and tools state, at the time of the delivery of the machine. In the event of problems, this will allow the operator to easily reload the original parameters and/or delivered tools. This can be done without connecting the DNC to a PC.

Note: Only the last compatible backup can be restored.

The memory quantity is limited. Each save takes up memory space (no rewrite possible) and the number of backups depends on the software version and the number of tools.

If this memory is full, it can only be deleted by reinstalling the boot software (See further). This is an operation which must only be done by a qualified and trained person.The number of backup saves available (generally 1 to 2) is enough for the correct use of this function:

Backup are usually performed:

• When the machine leaves the factory.

• When the machine is set up in workshop

• When a technician is called to re-configure a machine.

INTERNAL RESTORATION OF PMS AND TOOLS

This functionality allows the owner of the machine to restore the original factory parameters. This can be used in the event of problems by the operatorm, assisted by the manufacturer/dealer.

The parameters restoration will replace the current contents of the DNC by the last parameters save (generally performed by the manufacturer upon machine delivery).

The tools restoration will replace all tools data which have the same number. The tools which have a different number to those in the backup are not affected by the restoration.

Example: The punches number s 1 and 2 have been saved.

The user has modified the data of the punches 1 and 2, and has added the punches 12, 14 and 15. At the moment of the restoration, the value of the data of the punches 1 and 2 will be replaced by those of the saved tools. The punches 12, 14 and 15 aren’t affected.

Only the last compatible backup can be restored.

INPUT/OUTPUT CONFIGURATION

The configuration of the inputs/outputs of a DNC consists in assigning a

software function (see paragraph Definition of inputs/outputs) t

input or output of the numerical control.

The inputs and outputs, when they are not being used, have the following designations in the input/output list:

Digital Analogical Voltage F dig 1 Pot F1 A analog 1 F dig 2 Pot F2 A analog 2

. . A analog 3 . . . .

F dig 20 Pot F8

CONFIGURABLE AXES AND FUNCTIONS

o a given

Availability of an axis or a function is in direct relationship with the hardware. The DNC 60 G16 can handle a maximum of 4 axes. It is therefore not possible to configure all the axes which are available in the software, but only 4 among them. The same is true for the auxiliary functions within the limits of the available inputs/outputs.

AXES

The configuration (which will cause the axis to appear on the CRT) can be achieved by programming the limit switches (+,-) of the relevant axis.
