This chapter explains the steps required to install and connect Press-Right to the equipment and make prepare it for operation. The Press-Right instrument is designed to work on its own or in combination with a PLC (see important information in paragraph 1.4.1).
1.4.1 Connect an external controller (PLC) The PLC connected to Press-Right must be a PNP logic type. The instrument inputs and outputs are isolated and protected, and as a result they do not need any interface relay. Signals which are essential for operation are START, GO, GOOD and REJECTED.

The wiring relies on several numbered removable terminal boards (X3, X4, X16...). Each terminal in each terminal board is numbered. The seventh terminal of the X18 terminal board will be called X18.7. The numbering of the terminal board is also shown on the board.

Optional internal serial port terminal board (X23) If an internal serial connection or a RS485 port must be used, it is possible to connect to the X15 terminal board via the D-Sub connector. Press Right automatically recognizes and selects the RS232 or RS485 port; however, two serial ports may not be used at the same time.
2 Particular functions This chapter describes the particular functions of inputs and outputs. Configure the job automatic selection Press Right supports the automatic selection of jobs by combining inputs or via a bar-code scanner. The selection via inputs may be useful to automatically recognize the piece or the tool mounted.

The TEST SIGNAL 1 control may also be associated with a useful output signal to activate the control system. To use additional controls, the instrument should be set up to select which inputs are connected to the signals. After the input configuration, a name may be set for each of the six signals. The enabling signals are checked when the START signal is activated: if an enabling signal is missing, the instrument displays the message "No enabling signal".
3 Instructions to install Press-Right The Press-Right instrument is supplied in a metal case which can be attached to an support arm. It is possible to request the version with pre-assembled support arm. The support arm can be rotated. Press Right installation...

Montaggio strumento Always disconnect the instrument from the power supply before opening it. Open the instrument by unscrewing the four screws at the corners of the front panel (Figure 2). Figure 2 Remove the internal boards by a few centimeters (Figure 3). Then release the boards from the front panel.
