1. Operation overview and general introduction

1.1. The control unit

The control looks as follows:

numeric keys

screen

function keys

arrow keys

mode keys

start/stop

1.a

The precise outfit of your control may vary. Operation of the control is done with the various keys on the front panel. A description of all keys and their functions is given in the next section. Beside the front panel keys, an external USB mouse can be used as a pointing device to select menu items, parameters or softkeys. It depends on your configuration whether such a device is available. In this manual the phrase ‘mouse’ is used to describe any of these possible pointing devices.

V0608, 1.1

1.2. Operation modes

The control has the 3 following modes:

Manual mode In this mode it is possible to program all

parameters of just one bending. This mode is useful for testing and for calibration.

Programming mode

Manual movement

Each mode can be selected by pressing the relevant push button. A LED in the push button indicates whether or not this mode is active.

In this mode bend programs can be programmed and executed.

In this mode any selected axis can be moved manually with the arrow keys.

V0608, 1.2

1.3. Programming modes

The control has the following programming functions:

Program constants

Tools In this mode you program and edit the tools.

Change view Key to switch between various pages of a

Program library

You select one of the programming modes in the manual- or automatic operation mode while the controller is in the 'stop'-status.

In this mode you program the general parameters for bend programming.

There are 30 different punches and 30 different dies to program in the program memory.

bend. It also serves to return to an active program.

Open the library with bend programs on the control.

V0608, 1.3

1.4. Other frontpanel keys

The frontpanel consists of the following items:

Keyboard:

decimal point

clear key: Clearance of the input data field in the bottom left corner on the monitor screen

10 numerical keys (0-

9) incl. alphanumeric input

plus/minus toggle

enter key, to confirm a programmed value

Cursor path control:

Stop button Start button

V0608, 1.4

Return to previous function or abort parameter edit.

Keyswitch

The control has a keyswitch to prevent uncontrolled programming. With the keyswitch in the off position only a selected program can be executed. The parameters cannot be changed to wrong, unwanted values.

1.5. Software versions

The version of the software in your control is displayed at the upper side of the menu screen in the programming mode.

Example of version number:

V 1.2

V stands for version 1 is version number 2 is version level

The version number is increased when new features are added to the software, the level number is increased when minor corrections are needed in the existing version number.

V0608, 1.6

2. Product programming

2.1. Program selection

To edit or create a program, proceed as follows:

Press this key to activate the automatic mode.

Press this key to open the program library.

The program library screen appears.

2.a

Use the arrow keys to move to the desired program in the list.

Use the ‘enter’ key to select the highlighted program.

V0608, 2.1

A program can also be selected by entering its number directly.

To create a new program: Type a number that does not exist yet. When entered, the control asks whether or not to create a new program.

To delete a program:

Move the cursor bar to the correct program. Press the ‘clear’ key. The program number changes to zero. Press the ENTER key. The control will ask if you wish to delete the selected program. Choose yes (1) to confirm or no (0) to cancel.

2.2. Program edit

2.2.1. General properties

When a program has been selected (or created), a screen is shown with the general product parameters. These parameters are the same for every bend of the program.

2.b

This page gives all data which are the same for every bending of the program (main data of program).

V0608, 2.2

Use the arrow keys up/down to move the cursor to the desired parameter.

Use the arrow keys left/right to browse between the various pages of the bend program.

After pressing the enter key the programmed value will be placed at the corresponding parameter.

2.2.2. Parameters explanation

Drawing number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..DN

A name or description of the program. The maximum length is 20 characters.

Number of bends . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..NB

The number of bends in the current program. When this value is increased, the additional bends are copied from the last bend. When this value is decreased, the superfluous bends are deleted.

Angle selection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..ma

Selection of the programming mode for the Y-axis. 0 = absolute: program the absolute Y-axis position for a bend. 1 = a: program the angle to bend. The required Y-axis position is computed. Depending on this parameter, either the parameter 'angle' or the parameter 'bend position' will appear in a bend step.

Thickness . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..TH

2.3. Bend programming

2.3.1. Introduction

The parameters of one bend are divided over 2 screen pages. The bend number, product number and drawing number are displayed in the top row on the screen.

2.d

Use the key ‘change view’ to switch to another page with bend parameters. When this key is pressed again, a screen with zoomed values appears.

The parameters below the line are corrections. They are not necessary when programming a product, but are used to correct the machine behaviour during production. They are described in chapter 6.
