The safety PLC (e.g.

FPSC

)

is responsible for the fast speed / slow speed position control and provides

this state to the AKAS

inputs SGO, SGS and SP vis a signal line. (see

wiring diagram 1/p. 33

)

fast speed:

SGO, SGS a

= 0 V

blanking range:

bending flat sheets at SGO, SGS

and

SP = + 24 V

slow speed

: at

SGO, SGS

and

SP = + 24 V

During this, the safety PLC must monitor the signal line to the AKAS®

for eventual short-circuits

against potential conductiong lines.

In the operating modes "without additional Safety PLC" the

monitoring of the foot pedal

is permanently

present. AKAS ® activates the safety outputs OSSDs only if the foot pedal is permanently pressed.
AKAS® monitors both positions of the foot pedal and requires:

the foot pedal is released:

FUO = +24 V

and at

FUS = 0 V

(see

wiring diagram 4a/p. 31

)

the foot pedal is pressed:

FUO = 0 V

and at

FUS = + 24 V

The monitoring function is able to monitor even 2 connected foot pedals, if two operators work at the
press brake and if the foot pedals are correctly wired as shown in

wiring diagram 4b/p. 36.

In the operating modes "with additional Safety PLC" the

monitoring of the foot pedal

can be cancelled,

by selecting: " equivalent switching inputs for enabling the closing stroke".

In this case, both AKAS® inputs

FUS and FUO

are triggered

+ 24 V

, if a closing movement of the press

brake is wanted.

!!! If more than one person operates at the machine regarding to national and international
regulations for each worker one foot pedal must be available !!!

During the operating modes without additional safety PLC, a foot pedal response delay

of the

AKAS® safety outputs

(OSSDs)

of about 30 ms

after the release of the foot pedal during the fast

speed closing stroke can be selected.
When the foot pedal is checked also by the machine control, the control will execute an easier, smoother
breaking via the proportional valves of the closing movement during this time, just before the OSSDs of
the AKAS® disable the other closing stroke valves.

The overrun traverse control is realized by a cam switch with a normally closed contact. For this, the
length of the cam must correspond to the allowable overrun traverse plus the hysteresis of the cam
switch. The maximum allowable overrun traverse must not exceed the value programmed via the dip
switch positions in the support of the

AKAS®-3F.

This overrun traverse cam must be mounted in a way

that the press is in the maximum closing speed when the cam switch is opened by the cam, and the stro-
ke is started out of the upper dead center of the machine.

The overrum traverse test is carried out after every voltage reset and must be repeated every 24 hours.
After the successful overrun traverse test, the press must be at first opened for the execution of one ben-
ding stroke. The ajustment controll-LEDs are flashing slowly until the press brake is not opened.

If the overrrun traverse is too long, the cam does not open the overrun traverse cam switch when the clo-
sing movement is stopped, and the AKAS will prevent the complete bending strokes in fast speed.

If the overrun traverse control is not carried out by the AKAS®, the machine control must carry out an
overrun traverse test at least after a voltage reset. This overrun traverse test must be repeated within the
next 30 hours.
