Section 5.3.4.4 Configure Counter Reset When Order Counter Reset
All counters other than the Order counter can be reset in two ways. The counters can be individually
reset or the counter can be reset when the Order counter is reset.
To change the Reset When Order Counter Reset setting of a counter position the cursor on the value to
be changed, press the CHANGE SETTING softkey.
Section 5.3.4.5 Configure Counter Enable
Each of the seven auxiliary counters can be enabled or disabled. When a counter is enabled, it will
appear on the counter screen. When a counter is disabled it will not appear on the counter screen. The
Batch, Order, and Quality counters are always enabled.
To change the Enable Counter setting of a counter position the cursor on the value to be changed, and
press the CHANGE SETTING softkey.
Section 5.3.4.6 Configure Reset Counters When Job Recalled
This configuration provides the user with the option to restore the counters’ previous count when a job is
recalled. If set to “No”, all counters will be loaded with the previous counts that were registered when
the last job run was terminated. A job is terminated when another job is recalled. For example, Job A
was running on a machine and it was decided that Job B should be run on the machine. The Order
Counter for Job A was at 1020. When Job B was loaded from memory with a Job Recall, the current
count for Job A’s Order Counter, 1020, was stored in memory. The next time that Job A is loaded with
a Recall, the count for the Order Counter will be set to 1020.
If a job is not terminated by a recall of another job, the current counter information will be lost. In the
example above, if Job B was not loaded from memory with a Recall, but instead was set-up by changing
some of the settings that were already loaded for Job A, the current counter information at the end of Job
A would be lost.
A “Yes” configuration will set the current count for all counters to 0 when the job is recalled.
To change the “Reset Counter When Job Recalled” setting of a counter position the cursor on the value
to be changed, and press the CHANGE SETTING softkey.
Section 5.4 Motor Speed Adjustment (Option)
If the OmniLink II Press and Automation control is equipped with the Analog Input/Output board option
and the press is a variable speed press, the System 5000 allows the operator to enter stroking speed from
the keyboard as shown in Figure 5.7, and automatically sends this command (as an analog signal) to the
motor drive. The stroking speed can be set over the entire speed range of the press (determined by the
configuration) in all production modes. The OmniLink II Press Automation Control can automatically
limit the speed setting in the INCH mode if the optional setup mode input to the R/D-Brake Monitor
Module as shown in Figure 2.15 is wired. For example, a press that has a maximum stroking speed of
400 SPM may be configured to provide an INCH mode speed setting of 80 SPM. In this situation, the
operator can enter a speed setting up to 400 in any mode but the command signal to the drive will go no
