THE MEMORIES

The different memories of the DNC 60 can be represented schematically as follows:

ROM

RAM

battery

The DNC 60 is equipped with a ROM memory containing the DNC 60 program and a RAM memory, which allows the programming and saving of products and machine parameters.

The RAM is divided into several zones each having a different use.

Program

Work memory Internal no n vola t i le memory

Products, production, machine parameters, axes position

WORK MEMORY (BUFFER MEMORY)

This is a static RAM used for programming, modifying and executing products. It is a temporary memory containing data which is deleted whenever another product is called for.

The content of this memory is kept if the DNC power supply is cut, even if it has not been previously saved in the internal memory.

DNC INTERNAL MEMORY

This non-volatile internal memory, of the static RAM type maintained by a lithium battery, contains the products, axes positions and numbers concerning the production and machine parameters. No programming or modifications are made directly in this memory.

PAGE 16 USER GUIDE DNC 60 G16

THE USER INTERFACE

THE SCREEN

The screen displays the products and machine parameters as well as all other useful information for programming and machine work.

The keys located on the front of the DNC 60 are used for selecting the screen pages and entering data.

A cursor indicates where the user can intervene.

THE KEYBOARD

The keyboard is divided into several zones:

a) Numerical keyboard b) Screen page selection keys c) Working mode selection keys d) The control keys e) The cursor keys f) Other keys

a) Numerical keyboard:

CORRECTION key: This key displays the correction page which allows corrections to be made to the current sequence, as well as to the entire product.

c) The working modes

PROGRAMMING mode: Allows you to enter, modify and read data. Allows you to save, search for and transfer programs.

Pressing the

button or pedal will automatically switch the DNC to automatic mode and start the axes and functions.

MANUAL mode: Allows axis movement and auxiliary functions

using the

keys.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC mode: Allows a machine cycle with the current sequence values without automatic sequence changes. This mode is used to make adjustments while producing the first product, as well as for products with only one cut.

The sequence change is made using the

keys.

Note: The product counter Q does not

function in this mode.

AUTOMATIC mode: Standard product production mode. The DNC automatically changes sequence after each cut. Changing directly from "programming" mode automatically forces the first sequence of the program. Changing from "programming" mode to "semiautomatic" mode, and then to "automatic" mode, keeps the current sequence for execution. This allows you to pick up the production of a product without having to make "empty" cycles.

d) The controls

DELETE key: Allows you to delete a sequence or a program when the cursor is placed on the PRODUCT or N fields. Only possible in PROGRAMMING mode.

CLEAR key: This key allows you to delete data selected by the cursor. Pressing this key twice, on most pages, deletes all the data on the page.

SEARCH key: According to the cursor position, this key allows you to:

- search for a product

- search for a sequence

- search for a screen page

- execute a transfer Only possible in PROGRAMMING mode.

STORE (save) key: According to the cursor position, this key

allows you to:

- save the current program in the DNC internal memory

- create (insert) a new sequence into an existing program

- copy (teach) the value of an axis positioned manually in the current sequence.

This key is only valid in programming (saving and inserting) mode and in manual (teach) mode.

FUNCTIONALITIES

NIBBLING MODE

The nibbling mode allows you to cut by successive approaches, without blade up stroking. This is typically for the cutting of wedges with a rectangular form or disk sectors.

The nibbling mode is only active in semi-automatic mode, starting from key 1 and with the cursor placed on the CUTTING WIDTH field of the SEQUENCE or EASYCUT pages.

When the pedal is released, the Cutting Authorization output is deactivated (and also the pressure if AF6 is in pressure mode), the blade stops and the message NIBBLING appears. As soon as the pedal is activated again, the Cutting Authorization output is reactivated and the blade continues its downstroke, and so on.

As soon as the BDC is reached, the blade moves normally upwards again. At this moment you leave the nibbling mode and the message NIBBLING disappears.

To rise the blade up again before the arrival on the BDC, just press one of the

manual keys At this moment you leave the nibbling mode and the message NIBBLING

disappears.

or .

BLADE UP OUTPUT

This output is not configured by default. To be used, it must be configured by the user. The idea is to be able to remove the cabled logic which is nor mally found in the electrical cabinet for the upward movement of the blade.

This output is activated:

 At each START or each time the pedal is pressed, if the blade is not at

the TDC Max.

 Each time the blade has already moved down and has to be raised

again, that is to say: – In normal use at the cutting end, – At a STOP during the downstroking of the blade, – At an incident in the course of the cycle.

This output is deactivated as soon as the blade has risen again, that is to say at the ascending front of the TDC Max input.

FUNCTIONALITIES PAGE 43

OFFSET OF SHEET ORIGIN

This functionality allows the sheet to be cut anywhere on the wid th of the machine.

The OFFS field, located on the P and EASYCUT pages, represents the distance between the left edge of the machine and the sheet.

The TDC and BDC are recalculated according to the OFFS value.

SHEET SUPPORT

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

Sheet supports can have 2 positions (1 high and 1 low) or 3 positions (1 high, 1 intermediate and 1 low).

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).

Users A number of different users are predefined. A user is not a particular

individual, but can for example correspond to all the operators having the authorization to work on the machine. Each predefined user has a password and a maximum level which can be reached. See the Table of users, access and passwords section.

Password Certain users can modify their own password. For the others, the password

can only be changed by a user having a superior access level.

Loss of the password If the password is lost, a user of a superior access level has to reprogram the

MAINTENANCE

IN CASE OF FAILURE

INITIAL CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT

 Switch the machine off then on again.  Check the program (safety factors).  Check that the axes can be moved in manual mode.  Compare the machine parameters to those on the written list made

during the installation.

 Check the power supply voltages (to do this please refer to the

technical manual).

 Check that the keyboard responds.  Check that the front panel lamps light up.

POSSIBLE MEMORY POLLUTION

After performing the initial checks above, it is then likely that you have a memory pollution problem. To locate the fault, proceed as follows:

 Switch off the DNC.  Switch on the DNC.  Follow the instructions in the next chapter The Initialization page.

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. To restore the machine parameters and tools, go to the TRANSFER RS232

EASY OPTIMIZER

INFORMATION

Easy Optimizer is a cutting optimizer program for Sheets. It runs on a PC

and provides graphical solutions. This program is very simple, quick and powerful. The computed solutions (cutting sequences and dimensions) may be printed

or sent directly to the DNC 60 G16 via the RS 232 link.

The communication between the PC and the DNC graphically shows the cut in real time on the PC screen.

A simple low cost PC near the shear with an RS232 connection to the DNC 60 G16 turns your shear into a powerful cutting center.

The program is very easy to handle. The operator enters the dimensions of the sheet(s) then introduces the dimensions and number of the products. The program optimizes and displays the solution graphically (also printable) on the screen.

A blue line shows the first cut on the cutting layout. At the same time the DNC 60 G16 is ready to cut this flange at the correct dimensions. After the cut, the blue line moves to the second cutting line and the DNC is ready cut it.

Advantages:

• Better use of materials (no waste)

• Much quicker solutions and handling of multiple products.

• No cutting errors due to programming faults.
