Wintriss SmartPAC 2, User Manual, Page: 29 / 604

Introduction 1-1
Chapter 1. Introduction
SmartPAC 2 is a smart modular interface for multiple press automation functions including
die protection and programmable cam switch. Every SmartPAC 2 provides a control-reliable,
resolver-based brake monitor and extensive counter capabilities. Because SmartPAC 2 is
microprocessor-based, it can monitor or control a variety of functions on every stroke even for
very high-speed presses. SmartPAC 2 features a large, bright color display, a numeric keypad,
and easy-to-use keys to program and run your press. SmartPAC 2 can be connected to a
computer network, enabling press operation to be monitored remotely and e-mail messages to
be sent from the SmartPAC 2 control.
SmartPAC 2 can be configured with the following options:
•
Up to 32-sensor die protection system
•
Up to 16-channel programmable cam switch
•
Up to 16-sensor in-die measurement system
•
Solid-state dual-microprocessor-based clutch/brake control (WPC 2000)
•
Two- or four-input load monitoring
•
Automated shut-height and counterbalance control
•
Automated press speed and lubrication control
•
Servofeed interface
In addition, SmartPAC 2 can be linked to Wintriss’s ShopFloorConnect Asset Utilization
Software (SFC) or Line Efficiency Tracking Software (LETS) for data collection, analysis
and reporting.
WPC 2000 and Control Reliability
WPC 2000 Wintriss Clutch/Brake Control is an easy-to-use, dual-microprocessor-based
system that controls part-revolution mechanical power presses. Housed in a single modular
enclosure, both microprocessors function independently, have different power supplies, and
provide separate information to the operator. As a result of its “dual diverse redundancy,”
WPC 2000 is able to provide optimum clutch/brake control and improved operator safety
while increasing productivity.
WPC 2000 meets or exceeds all ANSI B11.1-2009, OSHA 1910.217, and Canadian Z142-02
standards for Control Reliability, the benchmarks that govern the operation of mechanical
power presses. Control Reliability demands that a single component failure in a clutch/brake
control circuit
not
prevent the normal stopping action of the press,
not
create an unintended
stroke, and
not
allow initiation of a subsequent stroke until the failure has been corrected.
SmartPAC 2 with WPC 2000
SmartPAC 2 integrated with WPC 2000 provides a comprehensive user interface for the
Wintriss Clutch/Brake control, bringing a multitude of press automation functions to one
central location.
