MP450S Operator Manual Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The AMS Controls MP450S is an industrial controller used to control cut-to- length machinery equipped with slitting knives. Figure 1 shows the front panel of MP450S. Figure 1: The AMS Controls MP450S Controller Features The MP450S controller’s features include:...
• To jog material forward using the MP450S, turn the jog switch on the controller to the right (clockwise). • To jog material in reverse using the MP450S, turn the jog switch on the controller to the left (counter-clockwise). Manual Shear To fire the shear manually, press the shear button Note: The controller must be in Manual mode.
Push Button and Front Panel Selector Switches Shear Press [Shear] to manually activate the shear. Note: The MP450S controller allows this switch to operate when the machine is stopped. Halt Select [Halt] to load a coil and to stop the machine...
MP450S Operator Manual Select [Run] to start the machine after a job has been programmed When the machine is in manual mode (i.e., the Run (Forward button is not lit), turn and hold the Jog switch clockwise to jog the material forward, turn and hold the...

MP450S Operator Manual 5. The controller displays the message “Pause After Job xx?” (where xx is the job number assigned in step 1). Select: Yes to have the machine halt automatically after the selected job number is finished. No to have the machine change lengths “on-the-fly” and run the job following the selected job without first stopping.
Increasing the correction factor causes the parts to become longer and decreasing the value shrinks the parts. The MP450S controller’s length calibration feature automatically computes a new correction factor. Length Calibration should be used any time part lengths are incorrect in a consistent manner (e.g., all parts 1mm too long, etc.).
MP450S Operator Manual for calibration is 5 feet; the maximum length that can be programmed for calibration is 40 feet. The message “Load Coil, Then Cycle Shear” displays. 3. While in Manual mode, load a coil using the Jog switch and, with the material slightly past the shear, press [Shear] .
