Chapter 3
About the keyboard and displays
This chapter gets you started in learning how to use the DiPro keyboard and displays. It
explains how the displays are organized and how you perform tasks by selecting items on
a display. It also explains the function of all keys on the keyboard.
Why using DiPro is easy
If you are used to working with equipment with dials, switches, knobs, and flashing
lights, using DiPro will be a little different. You will be dealing with a computer
now, and the neat thing about that is that you do not have those knobs and switches
staring back at you. Now you have a display screen to look at. At the bottom of
each display on the screen, you will see messages telling you how to proceed. Just
read these simple messages to see what key to press to get to the next step. Once
you get the knack of it, you will find it a very fast and easy way to make settings.
When you're learning, do not be afraid to try things. Push the keys. Select items on
the displays. See what happens. You cannot hurt DiPro by pushing a wrong key or
making a wrong selection. This chapter gives you the basics that will get you
started.
Your starting point in each mode
When you use DiPro, you choose the displays you want to see to get the task at
hand done. The displays you see depend on the mode of operation you are in. DiPro
has three modes of operation—Initialization mode, Program mode, and Run mode.
Each mode allows you to do different tasks. In Initialization mode, you make
certain settings you only need to make once after installing DiPro.
In Programming mode, you make all the settings for your sensors or cam channels,
create and load tool numbers, and do other things.
In Run mode, you can adjust your sensors or cams even while the press is running
and see the status of all your sensors at once. You must be in Run mode to run the
press. You can switch between Program mode and Run mode by turning the key to
"program" or "run".
What you can do in each mode is described in detail in later chapters. Here we
show you how to get started in each mode.
