V4000 PB sensor. These operating instructions do not provide instructions for operating machines on which the V4000 PB is, or will be, integrated. Information of this kind will be found in the operating instructions for the machine.
(input signals), tactile switching amplifiers (buttons, switches) are used. The signals can be generated at the inputs of the V4000 PB by, for example, foot switches, alignment buttons, teach-in buttons, selector switches and key-operated switches or by the corresponding switching elements on the HMI of the press controller.
The V4000 PB system consists of a sender and a receiver which are mounted on the press crosshead. The protective volume between the sender and the receiver moves with the press crosshead and thus ensures that the safeguarded area stays beneath the die.
Correct use of the system The V4000 PB system is intended to be used solely at a fixed location on press brakes and may only be used as defined by Section 2.2 "Applications of the system". It must be used...
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine where the V4000 PB is fitted. The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of the device by specialist personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions of the V4000 PB and of the machine.

The PC is connected to the receiver via the serial RS-232 interface for configuration of the V4000 PB and for extended diagnostics with the SICK CDS Software in the event of servicing. For a permanent connection of the PC (CDS) to the receiver an RS-422 interface is available for extended diagnostics.
(such as time). The measurement guide is connected to the V4000 PB via the PBI in the control cabinet. At the interface with the press controller the PBI taps onto the signals of the measurement guide, decouples them and passes them on to the receiver.
Meaning Yellow Power supply OK. Interface at the PBI The PBI of the V4000 PB has been designed for two-channel, incremental, linear measurement guides with an RS- 422 interface. All signals of the measurement guide are looped through. 3.4.5 CDS (Configuration & Diagnostics Software) The V4000 PB is configured and diagnosed with the CDS software (Configuration &...

In the case of press brakes with PC control and a Windows user interface, the CDS for configuration or diagnostics of the V4000 PB can be integrated into the control system. Permanent – on-line - diagnostics and operation must be implemented solely via the Note RS-422 interface.
Chapter 3 V4000 PB 3.4.6 External operating elements For controlling the V4000 PB external signals are required. The V4000 PB has the corresponding signal inputs for: Starting the closing or opening movements of the press brake Requesting alignment mode Requesting or confirming teach-in...
V4000 PB and CDS via a RS-232 port. Another method for providing operator signals to the V4000 PB is via the HMI of the numerical control. These signals could be collected via touch buttons connected to the NC interface or via software buttons on the HMI console.
V4000 PB device symbol, context menu Configuration draft, Edit, Basic settings tab 3.5.6 Speed-dependent muting Any one of the following conditions will result in automatic muting of the V4000 PB (inactivation of the protective volume): Gap size ≤ 6 mm above the taught-in pinch point...
The EDM checks if the contacts actually de-energise when the protective device responds. If an external device monitor is present, external device monitoring must be activated in the CDS. The V4000 PB will then check the contacts every time the protective volume is interrupted and before the press brake restarts.
The design of the V4000 PB specifies that the vibration tolerance of the V4000 PB for gap sizes from 6 mm to 26 mm increases from ±4 mm to ±7 mm. With the braking offset the gap size at which the target speed v is reached is increased.
The configured maximum closing speed in combination with the configured maximum Note overall machine overrun must not exceed the stopping distance of the V4000 PB and will therefore need to be checked during configuration. V4000 PB device symbol, context menu Configuration draft, Edit, Overall machine...
A press brake with a large overall machine overrun can be equipped with the V4000 PB if its maximum closing speed is limited by making modifications to the hydraulics system (such as orifice plates). A very high closing speed is only possible when combined with a short overall machine overrun.
– the V4000 PB assumes that there is a fault in position detection. The time delay between the start signal to the V4000 PB for the closing movement and the actual movement of the press brake depends on the switching times of the individual components of the press.
Signal Channel 2 An undefined state will result in an error following logic checking by the V4000 PB and will thus initiate the lock-out state. To prevent this from happening, a time period (the discrepancy time) is configured via the CDS for which the V4000 PB will ignore the undefined state.
The time after which a digital output signal changes from the OFF to the ON state, or vice versa, can be configured via the CDS so that the signal can be registered by the systems connected to the V4000 PB. The minimum configurable state time is 0 ms while the maximum configurable state time is 1000 ms.
During the power-up cycle the protective volume is active. The power-up cycle is requested by the V4000 PB after every switch-on or reset of the V4000 PB. At least once every 24 hours (in the case of continuous press operation) the V4000 PB system automatically requests the power-up cycle.
The operator or the V4000 PB system can request teach-in. The pinch point is monitored during each stroke of the press. The V4000 PB detects when the position of the pinch point does not correspond to the value last determined.
The OSSDs are in the OFF state. The operator has no protection from the V4000 PB. In alignment mode the laser is visible. The V4000 PB meets the requirements of laser Note protection class 1 M. There is no hazard for the operator.
