Chapter Voting Processor Firmware Chapter Objectives This chapter will help you become familiar with: operation of your voting processor firmware operational sequences for controlling your press Operation of Voting Processors A clutch/brake controller has two clutch/brake modules, one in chassis A and the other in chassis B.
Chapter 5 Fault Monitoring PM modules continuously monitor your clutch/brake system for a trip or stop condition. Either condition halts and/or prevents press operation. For this condition PM modules remove solenoid power by Trip condition - A PM module turns off swing arm output power by de-energizing its seal relay output when it detects these trip conditions: lost communications with the other PM module for 100ms a change in wiring of operator stations 1 thru 4...
Chapter 5 Operation of Cam Limit Switches The PM Module uses cam limit switches to determine press slide position. (Figure 5.1 and Table 5.A). You set two independent cam limit switch assemblies to the same settings so that: run-on contacts are closed in the near bottom and upstroke zones top-stop-check contacts are closed in the downstroke and near-bottom zones anti-repeat contacts open during mid-upstroke for at least 70ms.

Chapter 6 Field Wiring Arm Connections Control Power Connect your clutch/brake controller to either an ungrounded AC power configuration (Figure 6.1) or a grounded AC power configuration (Figure 6.5). Either figure shows two separately fused 120V AC power circuits. Power lines 3L1 and 3L2 provide power to the field wiring arms at module group 3, slot 0 and module group 4, slot 0 in chassis A and B.
Chapter 6 Field Wiring Arm Connections Install at least one E-Stop switch at each operator station. Then, any operator who sees a problem can press an E-Stop switch to stop the press. Also when either voting processor detects a fault, it de-energizes its seal relay to stop the press.

Chapter 6 Field Wiring Arm Connections When PM modules command triacs ON or OFF, they check that feedback signals (triac, valve stem, air pressure, and motion detector) have turned ON or OFF in the order shown and within the times shown. If and when a PM module detects that a triac or feedback signal has not turned ON or OFF within the times shown, it trips seal relay output to remove power from the wiring arms of 1771-OD output modules.
Chapter 6 Field Wiring Arm Connections Solenoid valves with internal fault detection close automatically when the valves detect a mechanical fault. They have no valve stem switches. When using this type of solenoid valve, do not configure your clutch/brake controller for valve-stem fault detection. A valve with internal fault detection mechanically assures that both solenoids energize in unison before the valve passes air.
Chapter 6 Field Wiring Arm Connections Optional Motion Detectors and Air Pressure Switches For either one of these optional features, you may use a single switch or redundant switches (Figure 6.2 or 6.6): For this wiring And this feature Follow these instructions Single switch Motion detector Connect the jumper between terminal 1 (chassis A)
Chapter 6 Field Wiring Arm Connections Optional Auxiliary Valve Use auxiliary valve solenoids when you want to boost the volume of air to Solenoids the clutch/brake assembly. Do this by placing auxiliary valves in parallel with main valves in your high pressure air line. If you use auxiliary valves, connect auxiliary valve solenoids A and B shown in Figure 6.3 for ungrounded solenoids, or Figure 6.7 for grounded solenoids.
Chapter 6 Field Wiring Arm Connections Each dump valve solenoid should draw at least 60mA. If not, connect an appropriate load resistor in parallel with it. For neatness and safety, we recommend that you connect the load resistor only at convenient terminal strips, not at the field wiring arms.

Chapter 7 Types of Diagnostic Message PM modules detect operational and equipment faults, and indicate Codes corresponding diagnostic message codes for more than 250 detected conditions. Diagnostic diagnostic message codes refer to specific inputs or outputs, such as a contact on a switch or cam. Upon detecting a condition, each PM module generates its own diagnostic code.
Page 94
Chapter 7 Latched Messages (medium priority) Latched messages occur when the PM module detects error conditions while the press is running (clutch/brake solenoids are ON). The module: stops press motion immediately latches ON a diagnostic message turns OFF solenoid valve triacs (seal relays remain closed) The latched-message condition remains until you correct the problem and press the RESET LATCHED MSG pushbutton wired to chassis C.
Page 95
Chapter 7 Re starting the Press You re-start the press with this procedure: When the “OD” message is displayed, press ESTOP to drop the seal relays. Message code “50” is displayed (swingarm power dropout) Press the START button. Press the RESET LATCHED MSG button. Select INCH mode if not already selected.
Chapter 7 Trip condition Message (highest priority) Trip-condition messages occur anytime the PM module detects a fault condition that casts doubt on the system’s ability to: measure the press’s shaft angle control power to the solenoid valve triacs When it detects this type of fault, the PM module immediately: stops press motion opens the seal relays If it detects that the seal relays did not open, it...
Chapter 7 Processing Diagnostic Message If you want to maintain a record of diagnostic message codes or process Codes them for reasons other than display, you can write ladder logic to examine the 9-bit binary message code that PM modules return to the processor. Do this by examining bits in the input image table corresponding to: module group 5, slot 1 (8-binary code) module group 3, slot 1, bit 2 (9...
