The comparison circuit assures thatboth channels agree as the Punch Press / Press brakecontrol sequence occurs. The preprogrammed dedicatedinelastic control system prevents in field alterations bymaintenance personnel to alter or jump out the inherentsafety features of the control . The control incorporates acontrol reliable diverse redundant design concept toassure a higher level of safety and RELIABILITY " control COMPONENTFAILURE" The Triad Punch Press / Press Brake Controlmeets or exceeds all OSHA and ANSI standards for control reliability.

2 control reliabilitystandards require that clutch/ Brake circuits be designedand constructed so that a single failure or fault within thesystem does not prevent the normal stopping action frombeing applied to the Press when required, or does notcreate an unintended stroking action, but does preventinitiation of a successive stroke until the failure REDUNDANT DESIGN CONCEPT ThePunch Press / Press Brake control system utilizes thediverse redundant design concept. This gives the clutch/ Brake control system a higher level of redundancy andcontrol reliability. The two microprocessors or parallelprograms are run and made up from different instructionsets written by different programmers. This high degreeof safety and reliability of design is the same conceptincorporated in our safety light DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGE DISPLAY Standard on the solid state Triad Punch Press /PressBrake control System is the revolutionary "QuickviewDiagnostic Message Display" mounted with the operatorcontrols at a customer designated location on the controlpanel.

3 The bright red LED alphanumeric scrollingmessage display informs the user of any faults, failures,and the current operating status of the Punch presscontrol system. The messages are in plain English andwill give the Press operator and front line supervisorinformation quickly and safely. The "Quickview DiagnosticMessage Display" system is so advanced that it willimmediately inform the user of such problems aspressure switch faults, failed output relays, or rotary cammis-adjustment. The system will also pinpoint internalprinted circuit board faults for immediate self-diagnostic feature will save many maintenancedollars and will enhance machine uptime measurably dueto the units captive troubleshooting ability. Best of all, thisinformation is supplied without even opening the controlpanel door.

4 Additionally, a complete series of LED's (lightemitting diodes) are mounted on the clutch/ Brake modulefor visual status of all inputs and outputs related to themachine cycle LOGIC AND COMPONENT DIAGNOSTICS A combination of LED's and the alphanumeric plainEnglish message display will enhance in-fieldtroubleshooting greatly. The advanced design can eventroubleshoot itself and advise the user if a printed circuitboard is defective and if it needs to be replaced orrepaired. Diagnostics are for both the control systemlogic and for Punch Press / Press Brake componentmonitoring. Twenty-nine different messages can appearon the message CAPTIVE CONTACT SAFETYRELAYS Redundant relays assure safety if an outputrelay should fail. The system utilizes safety relays whichhave force-guided contacts.

5 This is a configurationwhere the contacts are mechanically locked together sothat if one set of contacts weld, the other contactscannot change state. If one should fail, the messagedisplay will identify which relay has faulted and whatstate the relay should be in (on/off).SOLID STATE Punch Press / Press BRAKECONTROLS Incorporates "cross checking, self-checking, and diverse redundancy" to assure an ultra-safe STROKE PROVISIONS WITHINDICATOR If the Punch Press / Press Brake is in the"single stroke" or "continuous" mode and the pressstops before the completion of a full stroke, theInterrupted Stroke Provision is activated. The control willautomatically switch to the "inch" mode and the palmbuttons must be used to return the ram to the top of thestroke.

6 When back at the top, the control automaticallyswitches back to the original operational mode settingand the operator may resume normal production. TheInterrupted Stroke Provision improves productivity andsafety significantly by eliminating the need for theoperator to make mode selection adjustments oninterrupted (OPTIONAL) Controlled by keyedselector switch on/off on the control panel, Micro-Inchprovides ram movement for a predetermined amount oftime. Micro-Inch is actuated by the palm buttons and theamount of ram movement is controlled by a Micro-Inchtimer inside the control panel. Micro-Inch also indexesthe ram in increments that eases set-up in high speed orshort stroke Press EXTERNAL TRIP (OPTIONAL) Controlled by a keyed selector switch (on/off) on thecontrol panel.
