Chapter 6
Using DiPro 1500 in Run mode
This chapter describes how to use all the displays you will see in Run mode. It covers
adjusting settings for a tool, adjusting counters, loading a tool number, and enabling and
disabling sensors.
About Run mode
The Program/run key must be set to "run" before you can operate the press. In Run
mode, you can select from the displays to perform tasks just as you do in Program
mode. The difference between Program mode and Run mode is this. In Program
mode you can make and change settings for all existing tools and any new tool
numbers you create. In Run mode, you can only adjust certain settings for the
loaded tool number. You cannot view settings for a tool number if it is not loaded.
What you can and cannot do in Run mode
In Run mode you can load a tool number, adjust counters, adjust timing for green
sensors, and adjust cam switch settings (if the cam switch is installed).
You cannot create new tool numbers or make any changes to sensors except timing
adjustments. This means you cannot make any changes to red or yellow sensors
since they have no timing settings.
Why some tasks are duplicated in each mode
If you are wondering why certain tasks (like loading a tool number and adjusting
timing) are duplicated in Run mode and Program mode, here is why. Sometimes
you may not want personnel to get into Program mode. So you keep DiPro in Run
mode by setting the key to run and removing the key. Now Program mode is locked
out. However, the operator can still load a tool number in Run mode and make
timing adjustments when necessary in order to correct malfunctions. He cannot
change tool settings in any other way, however, or create new tool numbers.
Creating and organizing tool settings might be left to another person such as a
supervisor or setup man.
Locking Run mode
You can lock choices on the Run menu to prevent personnel from changing settings
or loading tool numbers. You can lock sensor settings, cam settings, and counters
so they cannot be changed in Run mode. You can lock tool numbers so they cannot
be loaded. You can also lock the "disable sensors" choice on the Run menu so
sensors cannot be disabled in Run mode. You can lock one or more of these menu
items in Initialization mode. See Chapter 4—"Security access"—for instructions on
how to lock these menu items.
