Once configured, these settings will be automatically recalled with each job. The System 2600 can be programmed to monitor each individual die protection input in the manner necessary to ensure that the process is operating in the intended manner. Each channel can be programmed to function as one of several logic types, which are covered in the configuration section.
• If bypassing of the entire unit is needed or desired, a setting is available that will automatically un-bypass it when switching back to a production mode. Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 7 Rev. 02...
PLS angles, and so on are entered directly in degrees and require no external cam switches. • The Clutch/Brake signal of the press can be monitored by the 2600 to detect problems with the coupling of the encoder to the crankshaft such as a broken chain.
If the control determines that it cannot stop at top in the time left when it receives the stop command, it will typically make an additional stroke. Many high speed presses take more than 1 full stroke to stop regardless of where the stop occurs. Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 9 Rev. 02...

3.1.3 RUN/PROG (Run/Program) Switch This is a keyed selector switch read directly by the System 2600. The PROG (program) position causes the unit to assert a Top Stop, and prevents machine initiation until the switch is returned to the RUN position.

There are four possible modes of operation for the restricted access system. They are the “Key Only” mode, the “Key or Password” mode, the “Password Only” mode, and the “Key and Password” mode. The control can be configured to operate in any one of these four modes. Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 14 Rev. 02...

3.1.8.1 RUN/PROG Key Switch Operation The RUN/PROG key switch is located on the lower right side of the System 2600. This is a two- position switch. The key is removable in the RUN position only. If the RUN/PROG key switch is being used as a means to access the restricted items, the switch must be turned to the PROG position.
Step D: Upon entry of the correct password, the user will be allowed access to the restricted item. In this example, the user will be allowed to change the Auto Single Stroke Time parameter from the 10 sec setting that was previously programmed. Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 17 Rev. 02...

NOTE: The press control for the machine will have other stop sources besides the System 2600 (E-Stop buttons, light curtains, etc.) that can stop the press without the System 2600 knowing why. When this happens the “Reason for the Last Stop” will show External Stop. Stops initiated by the System 2600 (such as from counters, die protection channels, etc.) will display...
If no stop condition exists, then the message All Conditions OK indicates the System 2600 is not asserting its stop outputs. The “Running Status” message will indicate where the operator needs to go to take corrective action (reset a counter, clear a die protection fault, etc.).
Die Protection The System 2600 features 6 built-in die protection channels which are designed for use in monitoring various material and tool conditions that are important to the correct operation of the process. This is accomplished by installing appropriate sensors and probes in or near the die and connecting these sensors to the die protection channel inputs of the operator terminal.
This allows the operator to avoid nuisance faults from sensors that 'bounce' open or closed momentarily. The delay time can range from 0 to 65535 milliseconds (65.535 seconds) in 1 millisecond increments. Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 24 Rev. 02...
The center unacceptable figure shows that event did occur, but did so outside the timing window. The right unacceptable figure shows that the event did not turn off during an entire press stroke. All three of these situations are fault conditions. Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 25 Rev. 02...

This can range from the current stroke (0 degrees to the current angle) to as many as about 20 strokes back.

By setting this parameter to “No”, inhibit conditions will not drop out the Top Stop relay. An output relay module can be added to the System 2600 that has a separate output for inhibit conditions.

All settings are stored on the Micro-SD card located on the circuit board in the door of the unit. If necessary, the 2600-2 board (the board in the bottom of the enclosure) can be swapped between units and will still receive the proper settings for that press.
6 BACKING UP AND RESTORING THE SYSTEM 2600 The System 2600 stores its settings in its internal storage. This section is intended to give maintenance personnel the necessary procedures to back up and restore the memory to a secure digital card. Backups that are created can be used to restore the settings stored in the backup to the same unit, or to a different unit in cases where the original unit must be replaced due to damage.
Backups made from the same unit show up in the main backup / restore screen. The user entered description is shown along with the date and time that the backup was made. To restore a backup file to the same unit that made it: Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 74 Rev. 02...

Do not remove power from the unit until the operation is finished. • Press the Exit softkey and the operator terminal will reboot with the new settings. Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 75 Rev. 02...
There will usually be a tactile “click” when the connector is seated properly. After the Micro-SD card is installed, power up the new unit and verify that the settings are correct. Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 76 Rev. 02...
Preliminary Installation Considerations The System 2600 comes in its own enclosure that should be located close to the machine control for easy access, keeping in mind that the operator will need to interact with the screen from time to time.
Mounting the System 2600 The System 2600 comes in an enclosure ready to bolt on to the machine. Display Surface Consideration should be given to the viewing angle of the operating personnel. Figure 67 shows the most usable viewing angles for the LCD display used in the Link OIT - about 30 degrees “above”...
Mounting the Encoder The System 2600 requires a Link Resolver or 5100-11 encoder to get angle Encoder information from the crankshaft or Chain or eccentric. Timing Belt Press The encoder may be direct driven by a coupling off the center of the shaft or...
Installing the 805-3 Communications Card The optional 805-3 communications board mounts on ISO GND the circuit board in the door of the System 2600 as shown in Figure 74. Carefully mate it to the matching connector on the 1200-1 ETHERNET 805-3 Comm.
System Wiring 7.5.1 Conduit Runs Wiring for the System 2600 should generally be run in conduit. The use of flexible liquid tight conduit with ground is suggested, but hard conduit can also be used. Figure 75 shows some of the typical conduit runs that may be required.
115VAC conduit with from press ground for control any optional transformer low voltage to power connections: Sensor setup mode Interface input etc. PROG Figure 75: General View of Wiring Runs for Installation Doc #: L-2600-1023 Page 85 Rev. 02...
Arc Flash compliance. Pull wires with the appropriate color code in conduit between the System 2600 enclosure and the press control. Remember to run high voltage wiring in one conduit and low voltage wiring in a separate conduit.
7.5.4 Wiring the RUN (Clutch/Brake) Input In the case of Mechanical Presses, the System 2600 can optionally use a signal from the press clutch/brake control that indicates when the press clutch is engaged (the press is stroking). This signal is derived from the voltage across the dual air valve solenoid (in some cases a hydraulic valve may be used) that controls stroking and may be 24VDC or 120VAC.
Figure 77. On the System 2600 end, the wires must be connected to terminals 5 and 6 of the “Run / Stop Connector” (See Figure 76 to locate this connector).
Figure 80. This example is showing a NPN part +24V sensor powered using the internal power supply of the System 2600. Figure 80: Die Protection Inputs Connection Wiring Example with Internal Power Supply Likewise, mechanical switch sensors or spring probes would simply ground the input if was set to NPN mode, or connect it to +24V if it was set to PNP mode.
Figure 81 shows how an external power supply can be connected for additional sensor power. Diffuse Reflective Part Sensor Also note that if the System 2600 itself (NPN) is powered by +24VDC instead of 120VAC, then it can pass along 1 amp POWER SUPPLY to sensors.
Figure 83: Electro-Mechanical Limit Switch Module modules Figure 84 shows how to connect limit switch modules to the System 2600. The special double plugs on the limit switch modules allow simple daisy chaining of the wiring from the System 2600 to the first module, and then to the second and third modules, if used.
