In this machine parameter manual you find the explanation on:
•the input and output signals (X- and Y-axis and general);
•the selection possibilities of the machine parameter menu;
•the value and function of the machine parameters of the X- and Y-axis;
•the auxiliary axes with corresponding parameters.
The first chapter describes the function of the general input and output signals and the input
and output signals of the X- and Y-axis and in what way these signals should be connected to
the axis module.
The High Speed Bus (HSB) takes care of the communication between the control and the
modules. Via this HSB line the modules are programmed with the appropriate machine
parameter values to control the axes. The programmed values of the axes are compared with
the actual axes positions and the machine parameter settings. If the 'new' values are within
the range the 'new' values become the actual values.
The machine parameters (including all axis parameters) are programmed in the machine
parameter menu of the control. Besides the programming of the machine parameters you
have several other selection possibilities in this machine parameter menu. These selection
possibilities are explained in chapter 2.
The basic machine parameters are to control the Y-axis. In chapters 3 and 4 these machine
parameters are explained. The explanation comprises the parameter range, the default value,
the parameter function and a description.
From chapter 5 until chapter 10 the parameters of the auxiliary axes and special functions are
given. The auxiliary axes are grouped per type of axis. The next type of axes and special
functions are explained:
•auxiliary axes (chapter 5);
•axes types and parameters (chapter 6);
•crowning (chapter 7);
•digital outputs (chapter 8);
•I-axes (chapter 9);
•part support (chapter 10);
This manual is valid for the following Delem control types:
In this chapter the input and output signals of the Delem system are explained. See the
installation manual of the control for the locations of the various connectors.
There is a strong relation between the Y-axis signals. This relation has been laid down in the
timing diagram of the press cycle.
The timing diagram of the CNC-RDY signal has also been included. This signal indicates that
the active bend program can be executed. The CNC-RDY signal depends on the status of the
start button, the position of the Y-axis and the position of the X-axis.
1.2.Y-axis input signals
SymbolFunction
Opening command. This input must be active when the beam has
to move in the opening direction (Y-axis status 6).
Pressing command. This input must be active to move the press
beam during the pressing phase (Y-axis status 3). This input must
also stay active during the holding time (dwell time) at bend position
and during decompression (Y-axis status 4 and 5).
Fast closing command. This input must be active when the beam
has to move with high speed in the closing direction (Y-axis status
2).
Manual. This input must be active when the beam must be moved
manually with the handwheel. This is only possible when the control
is in Manual mode and the beam is below the mute position. When
this input is active this is displayed with the text 'adjust' in the lower
right corner of the control screen.
=Parallelism switch input. See description of Y-axis machine
parameter 'parallelism switch'.
V0908, 1.1
1.3.Y-axis output signals
SymbolFunction
Upper dead point. This output is active when the beam is at the
programmed upper dead point or higher.
EREnd of decompression. This output becomes active after the beam
has reached the bending position, the holding time has elapsed and
the decompression distance is completed. It goes low again
(inactive) when the opening input () becomes active.
Mute output. This output becomes active when the beam reached
the muting point. This output stays active as long as the beam is
below the mute position.
CNC-started. This output is active when the start button on the DAcontrol is pressed.
Special mute output / 2nd mute (for servo hydraulics). An optional
mute output can be used to obtain that the beam will stop more
accurate at the muting point. This feature can be useful when using
servo hydraulics. The optional mute output will be active from a
certain distance before the actual muting point.
1.a
The braking ramp for stopping at the optional muting point is computed automatically by the
control. The distance between the two muting points is programmable, the default value is 0
mm. This means that the two mute outputs become active at the same time.
V0908, 1.2
1.b
The point at which the optional mute output becomes active can also be shifted with an offset.
This offset does not shift the computed braking point. It can be programmed with the
parameter “Offset mute-2 output”. The default setting is 0.
Clamping (pinching) point output. This output becomes active when the
beam reaches the clamping (pinching) point and stays active as long as the
beam is below the clamping point.
Lower dead point output. This output becomes active at the end position of
the press beam. This output is active during Y-axis status 4.
V0908, 1.3
1.4.X-axis signals
SymbolFunction
R-in R-axis positive input. This input must be active (+24V) to have the
X-axis moving within the safety zone of the applied die. Otherwise
the X-axis will not move within this zone and as a result the CNCRDY output will never become active!
When the R-axis is negative and the R-in input is active, the R-axis
will first move to a positive position before the X-axis will move to a
position within the safety zone.
1.5.Axis signals
SymbolFunction
IPThis output is active when the actual position value of the axis is
within the in position tolerance range of the programmed position.
This in position tolerance range can be set with the machine
parameter ‘In position tolerance’ (parameter 12).
STARTInput for an axis module, to signal that equipment is ready and the
module can start positioning the axis. Can be used to monitor
‘ready’ signal from a motor drive.
RSDTo take the reference marker from the encoder you can connect this
input to the reference search direction switch. The reference search
cycle is then as described at the machine parameter 17 (RSDswitch). The RSD input can also be taken from an End Of Travel
switch.
1.6.Various input and output signals
V0908, 1.4
Pump started.This input must be active to be able to press the start
button on the DA-control. When this input is not active
the start button will not be accepted and the control will
display the message **machine not started**.
TTandem input.Tandem input for tandem or robot applications. See
description of parameter 10 of the Y-axis parameters
menu. For robot applications ask for the special robot
function manual.
CCycle input.This input can be used to realise an external step
change. This is done by programming the program
specific CX-code parameter in the programs.
CNC-START.The start command for the control. This output can only
be active (start button on control) when the pump start
input is active.
FUNCTION OUTPUTS
F1, F2, F3, F4These are general purpose outputs. When you use a motorized
crowning unit then outputs F3 and F4 are not available, because
they are reserved for crowning usage.
CNC-RDYThis output can only become active when the control is in a
production mode (automatic or step-by-step) and the following
conditions are met:
•the control has been started
•the X-axis is in position
•the beam is in the upper dead point (UDP signal is high)
•the beam is not opening (the 'open' command is not active)
•the sequencer signal C_HOLD_BEND is not active (optional,
in case sequencer is modified)
•the part support is down (optional, in case part support is
installed)
If the control is in manual mode the same conditions apply, except
in manual mode the UDP signal is not necessary for the CNC-RDY.
OKModule
initialisation
ready.
Output signal from a module, to indicate that the module is
properly initialised and is ready for action. Can be used as enable
signal to e.g. a motordrive.

1.c
Explanation of CNC-RDY timing diagram
•Y-axis status. The Y-axis status is the number of the Y-axis control program, which
depends on the Y-axis command inputs. The number is shown on the service row (when
activated) in the header of the screen.
•Upper dead point. Y-axis output indicating that press beam is in the upper dead point
position.
•X-axis at programmed position. This line shows the actual X-axis position. This is the
same as the programmed position.
The start button must be pressed (1). When in this case the press beam is in the upper dead
point (output active) and the X-axis reaches the programmed position (2) the CNC-RDY
output becomes active (3). The CNC-RDY output stays active during fast closing of the press
beam (4), pressing (5) (when no X-axis retraction is programmed), dwell time (6) and
decompression (7).
The CNC-RDY becomes inactive after decompression of the beam (ER output active) at the
step change position where the X-axis moves to the next programmed position. Depending on
the Step change code this can take place at:
•end of decompression;
•mute (passed in opening direction);
•upper dead point.
The CNC-RDY signal becomes active again (9) when the X-axis is at its programmed position
and the Y-axis is in the upper dead point.
CNC-RDY signal during pressing with retraction programmed
There are two situations during pressing with rectraction programmed (point 5 of CNC-RDY
cyclus).
•The press beam does not wait at the pinching point for X-axis retraction to complete
(“Wait for retract” is off). The CNC-RDY output stays active while the X-axis moves to
the retract position.
•The press beam stops at the pinching point and waits until X-axis retraction is
completed (“Wait for retract” is on). The CNC-RDY output stays active while the X-axis
is moving to the retract position. The press beam moves again when the X-axis has
reached the retract position.
There is also a third situation, but this is an option.
•The press beam stops at the pinching point and waits until the X-axis rectraction has
been completed (“Wait for retract” is on). The CNC-RDY output is off while the X-axis is
moving to the retract position. The CNC-RDY output becomes active again when the Xaxis has reached the retract position.

1.7.Conventional systems
Beside controls for synchronised Y-axis control, there are also Delem controls for
conventional pressbrake machines. These controls have a different set of machine
parameters for Y-axis control. The use of some parameters is related to the equipment that is
installed.
1.d
•YM-axis
A mechanical stop for the Y-axis can be programmed as an auxiliary axis (axis type YM). This
axis is controlled through the circuitry for Y1: the valve voltage output is used to control the
motor, the encoder input for Y1. The YM axis is programmed as a standard auxiliary axis. On
a DAonWindows control this auxiliary axis must be assigned to the Y-axis module. The
parameters for this axis are all standard servo parameters, which are described in chapter 5.
•Pressbeam position feedback
A conventional pressbrake machine can be equipped with a linear or rotary encoder scale for
position feedback.
If no linear scale is used, positioning of the pressbeam must be arranged externally. In that
case, a switch for 'step change' must be installed to signal to the control that a bending has
been carried out and the next step can be done. If the retract function is necessary in the
machine, a switch for a 'retract request' must be installed.
If a linear scale for position feedback is installed, these switches are not necessary. The
control can use the position information to generate a retract and a step change.
Whether or not positioning control is used is programmed with the parameter "Encoder
mounted".
See section 4.12 for more information about conventional parameters.

2.Machine parameters menu
2.1.Introduction
In this chapter the selection possibilities of the machine parameters menu are explained. The
next selection possibilities are discussed:
•selection procedure machine parameters menu (section 2.2);
•a brief introduction on the Y-axis and general parameters (section 2.3);
•a brief introduction on the auxiliary axes (section 2.5);
•notes about module configuration and module software (section 2.6);
2.2.Selection procedure of machine parameters menu
The selection procedure of the machine parameters menu is the same for each type of control
of the DAonWindows series.
Do the following to get access to the machine parameter menu:
•Select the programming mode.
•Enter 19 to select the machine parameter menu.
•Enter the access code.
•Press the enter key.
The default access code is 14753 for changing a basic set of machine parameters. The
machine parameters followed by (2) cannot be changed with this code. When you want to
change all the machine parameters you require the special factory code. This code may only
be used by authorised people.
There is a third access code available, which gives access to a third level of parameters.
Normally these parameters are set to factory default values and need no adjustment. In order
to view and adjust these parameters, you need to enter the menu with a level 3 access code.
You will see additional parameters, which are followed by a (3). This code may also be used
only by authorised people.
In the machine parameter main menu you also find the versions of the current KO-table and
the sequencer file. For detailed information upon the KO-table and Sequencer file version
please contact Delem.
In figure 2.a you see the main machine parameter menu of the control.
V0908, 2.1
2.a
2.3.General parameters
Behind this selection possibility you find the basic machine parameters to program the press
brake specifications, such as dimensions. See chapter 3 for full explanation upon the
parameters.
2.4.Y-axis parameters
Behind this selection possibility you find the machine parameters to control the Y-axis. See
chapter 4 for full explanation upon the parameters.
2.5.Auxiliary Axes
Per type of control you can activate a number of auxiliary axes. An auxiliary axis is not active
when it is disabled in the axes menu. The required function of an auxiliary axis is determined
by the axis type.
Based on the available types the chapters 5 until 9 have been defined. In these chapters you
find explanation on the parameters in more detail.
To install auxiliary axes, three steps must be taken:
•the modules must be selected through menu 4: 'module configuration',
•the configuration of backgauges must be programmed through menu 8: 'gauge',
•the intended axes must be programmed through menu 3: 'auxiliary axes'.
See chapter 5 about auxiliary axis configuration.
2.6.Module configuration
V0908, 2.2
This function serves to select the connected modules in the system and assign the proper
axes to those modules.
Chapter 5 contains a detailed description of module configuration. This should be done first,
because otherwise no axis can be controlled.
Modules can be upgraded with new software. The procedure to upgrade a module is
explained in chapter 5.
2.7.Machine parameters backup
2.b
It is very important to make a backup of the machine parameters each time they have been
changed.
Function keys:
backupTo save the machine parameters to back-up location.
restore To load the machine parameters from back-up location.
select
directory
To choose the location (directory) where parameters must
be stored or read.
V0908, 2.3
2.8.Changing the access code
You can change the access code of the machine parameters menu. The procedure is as
follows:
•enter old code;
•enter new code;
•(re)enter new code;
press the enter key to accept the new value.
Without the correct access code it is impossible to enter the machine parameters menu.
Therefore, be sure if you want to change the default access code (14753).
2.9.Options
The standard functionality of the Delem control can be expanded with extra options. A new
option can only be used when the option has been enabled in the control. If you wish to
activate an option, contact Delem to obtain an option voucher.
Installation of options is described in the installation manual of the DAonWindows controls.
The options with the √ - sign are already enabled in the control and can be used.
V0908, 2.4
2.c
2.10.Gauge
In this menu the configuration of backgauges and auxiliary axes must be programmed. This
programming facility offers a flexible way to describe the available backgauges and by which
axes they are moved.
2.d
See chapter 5 for information about gauge programming.
2.11.Leaving the machine parameters menu
When leaving the machine parameters menu, beware of two things.
•The control checks if all programmed axes are properly assigned to DM modules. If this
is not the case, the control issues a warning. See also chapter 5.
•If no machine parameter has been changed, the control returns to the main menu. If any
parameter has been changed, the control will reset. If ‘enter’ is pressed while the cursor
is on a machine parameter, the control will assume this parameter has been changed
and will reset itself when the menu is left.
