System Setup Screen 

The System Setup Screen contains machine setup parameters. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gearbox: 

Select which gearbox is in 

the machine. 

1:1 – No gearbox 

3:1 

5:1 

Control Mode: 

Local Opto (standard): 

Dual opto-touch start 

buttons and DB-9 

connector for tool IO. 

Local LC (Light Curtain): 

Light curtain, single opto-

touch start button and DB-

9 connector for tool IO. 

Remote: Remote operation 

for cell integration. No DB-

9 connector. 

Clears the current recipe 

and sets all parameters 

to default values. 

Level 1 Password: 

Password that allows 

editing of setup 

parameters. 

Fault Reset Password: 

If the Alarm Mode is set to 

“Latching” on the Pass/Fail 

screen this password must 

be entered to continue 

machine operation after a 

part fault. 

Overtime: 

Enter the maximum cycle 

time allowed before a 

cycle overtime fault is 

generated. 

Flow Control (FC) setting 

during the weld. OFF allows 

the machine to get to the 

achieved force very quickly. 

ON would slowly increase the 

force to the desired. 

Mounting Angle: 

Select the machine 

mounting angle so the 

cylinder compensates 

appropriately for spindle 

weight. 90 deg is normal. 

-90 deg is upside down.
