| | | Description The Omega™ Configurable Press Control Kit is designed to control basic functions on mechanical stamping presses and to meet the safety requirements of ANSI B11.1, OSHA 1910.217 and CAN/ CSA Z142-M90 press safety regulations for mechanical stamping presses. The system comes as a bundled package consisting of hardware, all application software, and documentation. Configurable features include tonnage monitoring, shut height adjustment, PLS, lubrication, die monitor, automatic counterbalance, and servo feeds. All configurable features require that you add resolver modules to the control system. For instance, you can add a tonnage monitoring module or a resolver from one of our Encompass partners. For more information, refer to the Encompass Program Product Directory, publication 6873. Functional Design The Omega Press Control System provides basic clutch/brake control as well as press control. No user programming is required. Mechanical Design The control system includes redundant SLC 5/03 processors with application software for self testing and verification to conform with ANSI and OSHA regulations. Both SLC 5/03 processors are located in separate chassis. They monitor all clutch/brake I/O and exchange information about machine status. They are linked so that if one processor detects a condition different from that detected by the other, its control logic is designed to declare a fault and turn off all outputs to press valves. The other processor is designed to do the same. | | Features Clutch/Brake Control is the standard logic used in all Rockwell Automation Omega series press control systems. Clutch/Brake Control features are: ■ One set of Run buttons monitored ■ One set of Inch buttons monitored ■ Modes of Operation • Off • Inch •Single • Continuous ■ One Resolver (required, not supplied) ■ One Resolver or Rotary Cam (required, not supplied) for second position device ■ Clutch/brake time monitor Other standard control features include: ■ Production monitor and counters ■ Die monitoring (16 channels) ■ Programmable Limit Switch (8 channels) ■ Recipe Storage (20 die recipes) ■ Maintenance Timers ■ Multi-function lube control ■ Main Motor Control Ordering Information The purchase of one kit includes the license to use this control on one stamping press.
