“non-smart” sensor) The BCM500 must be correctly set according to the type of sensor in use (PNP or NPN) and various other parameters. These are set on links inside the module, details are given in this manual. In addition to this the BCM500 has to be set according to the type of Short Can sensor connected, this may be: •...

DIMENSIONS BCM500 Module BCM500 Module Mounting The BCM500 controller is designed to be mounted in a control cabinet protected from moisture and hydraulic fluids. The unit may be mounted using a 35 mm DIN rail or with two fasteners. Recommended screw fasteners are #8 or M4.
INSTALLATION MECHANICAL INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION The inputs and outputs to the BCM500 are shown here. Electrical connection is made to the unit with screw terminals. The terminals are recessed to reduce the chances of accidentally contacting them. Sensor Output 09-487-00...

Bodymaker clutch mechanism. Good design practice dictates the use of safety lockouts on any device that starts and stops automatically that can cause personal injury to operating or maintenance personnel. The BCM500 must be used only with industry approved safety lockout contacts, otherwise serious personal injury may result.
NOTE: THIS INPUT IS ALWAYS ACTIVE HIGH. The BCM500 checks the Dome Jam Input from the end of the SCT window until the end of the AST or BST windows. Therefore, either of these windows must be active just past 180 degrees of the machine cycle to detect a dome jam.

Note: If the sensor fails, or a can jam is detected, all of the logic outputs turn OFF. The BCM500 will detect a can jam if the Short Can sensor is still seeing metal by the time all three timing signals it receives have completed "one cycle".

CO1 and CO2 open only if the trimline check fails. POWER UP The BCM500 must receive a RES input or a CAL input after power up. Otherwise, the unit will not engage any of the clutch outputs. SYSTEM TIMING DIAGRAMS System Power Up Timing The power up diagram only applies to sensors with the calibration values saved internally in EEPROM.

Normal Clutch Enable Stop in Immediate Mode The immediate stop mode is for use where the machine can stop asynchronously to the backstop timing window Normal Clutch Enable Stop in Timed Mode Use the timed stop mode when the machine must stop synchronously to machine backstop timing.

Bar and Inch Mode Timing In Inch mode or Bar mode, RESET must be held high (ON) and the clutches (CO1/2) follow the CE signal. I/T must be held low (OFF). The CE signal is scanned and updated every 2.5 msec. Single Stroke Mode with No Cups In single stroke mode the I/T input must be held high.
Page 15
Single Stroke with Cups Single stroke mode with the cup feed on follows all requirements of a single stroke without cups except that the RESET input is inactive. Tearoffs and dome jams are detected and latched until a RESET signal is applied. To do a single stroke with the cup feed on, all faults must be cleared.
This fault is only indicated when using a non smart sensor fault is indicated when there is in conjunction with a BCM500 – this would be the case if no problem. making Steel cans. The fault is indicated when a can is seen by the sensor on the backstroke.

BCM500 Module Reconfiguration To reconfigure the BCM500 special software is required to allow communication between a PC and the BCM500. A Sencon ‘Brown’ Cable (212-00902-00) can be used. Otherwise the connections required are as follows: 1. With power off to the BCM500 remove the top cover of the BCM and connect to the PC 2.
