How to use the show sensors display
The show sensors display can be used to quickly check the status of all your sensors
and correct programming or wiring mistakes.
When you select the show sensors display with the press running, you will see the
ground blocks for green sensors flashing. That is because green sensors normally
actuate once every stroke. You will periodically see a ground block for a green
special sensor because they should actuate at least once during the preset value.
You will always see a ground block for any red sensor since they are normally
grounded. You will never see a ground block for a yellow sensor.
When the press is stopped, you will see the condition the sensor is in at the stroke
angle where the press is stopped:
• Red sensors: Normally grounded
• Yellow sensors: Normally ungrounded
• Green , green quick check, and green constant sensors: Can be either grounded or
ungrounded depending upon when they actuate during the stroke.
• Green special sensors: The counter decrements as the press runs. For example, if
the counter starts at 11 and the press makes a stroke without the sensor activating,
the counter will count down to 10. If another strokes occurs without a sensor
actuation, the counter drops down to 9, and so forth. When the sensor activates,
the counter automatically resets to 11.
• Unused sensors: It is possible to see a ground block. This may occur if you had a
sensor connected to the input by mistake. The display shows any change in an
input's state, whether the sensor input is being used or not.
The display is a good way to catch mistakes in setting a sensor or mistakes in
wiring sensors during setup. For instance, say sensor input 5 is supposed to go
unused, but you saw that a ground block was flashing for that input on the display.
You would know that a sensor is plugged into the wrong input.
If a yellow sensor was mistakenly plugged into an input that is set to red, you could
immediately detect the error when you did not see a ground block for the red input.
You can also check actuation of all your green sensors, making sure the ground
blocks are flashing when the press is running. No ground blocks would indicate
wiring or setup problems.
When a sensor signals a fault, you could use the display to see the status of all your
sensors at the stroke angle where the press stopped.
NOTE
Very fast (short) signals from green sensors may not be
seen in this display on every stroke.
