Chapter 1 ProCam 1500 Servo Feed Interface Your ProCam 1500 Servo Feed Interface is hardware and software that allows you to operate your servo feed through ProCam 1500. Once installed, you can make all the necessary settings for your servo feed right at the ProCam 1500 keypad. ProCam 1500 will automatically operate the servo feed during press operation.
ProCam 1500 SFI What you can do using the ProCam 1500 Servo Feed Interface (SFI) Using the ProCam 1500 menus, you can: • Set feed length, percent acceleration, and possibly some other parameters for your servo feed (depending upon which feed you have) •...
Chapter 2 Installation Installing the components that allow your ProCam 1500 to operate your servo feed is quite simple. Connecting ProCam 1500 to your feed requires these tasks: • Installation of SFI firmware into ProCam 1500 • Wiring connections from the ProCam 1500 TB103 terminal block to the RS-232 port of your servo feed controller Each step is described below.
Installation INSTALLING THE CHIP Be sure to note the exact orientation of the firmware chip. Notice in particular the semi-circular notch on the bottom of the chip. When you replace the chip, the notch on the new chip MUST also be face down.

Installation 3. If ProCam 1500 and your servo feed controller have been installed inside two separate enclosures, run the cable through flexible liquid-tight conduit from your feed to ProCam 1500. ProCam 1500 is rated NEMA 12 (protected against dust and oil). You must use conduit of the same rating and make proper connections to ensure NEMA 12 protection.

Installation 10. Look at TB103. There may be a plastic plug over pin 5 on this terminal block. If so, remove the pin using needle-nose pliers. Plug the 10-pin connector into TB103. 11. You are finished installing ProCam 1500 SFI. Re-connect the ProCam 1500 panel to your enclosure and re-tighten the hardware.
