Only authorized people are able to create new or edit existing programs. The control has therefore a access code to prevent un-authorized operation. Without a correct access code, the operator can only select an existing program to execute , not allow to changed the program and parameters in any way.1, Introduction ‘The £20 is a high performance CNC controller specially for press brake and shearing machine. £20-SM: one-axis controller £20-DM: Two-axis controller for backgauge axis (X-axis) and angle axis (Y-axis) For the purpose of high precision, the operator can use one-side positioning function to overcome the leadscrew backlash. Reference point can be automatically searched when the controller is started, Or the controller will be always memorized the position after power down ‘The backgauge X-axis or Y-axis can be moved manually by pushing the buttons on the front panel with 2 different speeds. The E20 has the functions of diagnostic, retract, cut counting, step repeating and programm counting. It’s possible to program several steps which can be combined to programs. ‘The E20 is capable of controlling one or two-speed AC motor or DC motor.2. HARDWARE The E20 consists of three printed circuit boards and a front-panel. The three PCBs are: --+ 1/0 board; Mainboard; keyboard with LE!

The LED of the stop button will light up for indication. In the same way, when the start key is pressed the LED of the start button will light up for indication. In the following paragraphs the operating modes are described. 3.2 start/stop parameter readout When the start key is pressed the cursor moves automatically to Ap. ‘This means that when the start button is pressed always the actual position is displayed. When the stop button is pressed the cursor will move to Pp. 3.3 manual mode Manual mode can only be selected in stop status If the LED of the stop key lights on, the backgauge can be moved manually by pressing the manual movement keys on the front-panel. «4 slow speed in counting up direction «_« slow speed in counting down direction 44. high speed, must be pressed together with the + or ~ key.3.4 Automatic mode In automatic mode a program can be executed. When the start key is pressed the backgauge moves to the programmed position and the Y-axis moves to the programmed position of the current step. A new step is loaded at the moment of each START (step changing input signal) input.4, Parameter programming ‘the F20 controller specially apply in press brake for both X-axis and y-axis controlling. The £20-dm can also program parameters, related to other machine functions One set of such parameters is referred to as a “step” Several steps can be combined to build a program During the execution of the program, the steps within a program ere executed one after another in an automatic cycle 4.1 Programmable Parameters A parameter can be programmed upon selection. The selected parameter 1S indicated by a LED. Each parameter is represented by its own LED. Selecting a parameter is done by pressing the ® key. The actual value of the selected parameter is displayed on the 5-character display. rhe function Ap, Which is also indicated by a LED, is not a programmable parameter. If Ap is selected the actual position of the X-axis or Y-axis is displayed The step dependant parameters are: -Pp = parameter position of the X-axis or Y-axis. -Cor -Rd correction of the position of X-axis or Y-axis. retract distance. _4 = number of (step) repetitions. = darkness = code Each time the key is pressed the next parameter becomes active. The sequence is as follows: ppth) -> Apth) > Cor(h) Ra(h) + # > darkness <= Pp(u) —* Apte) Cort) > Pp(h) and so on. Holding the key will speed up the effect.4.2. Programming a value When a parameter is selected its value can be programmed. To program a value the following keys are available: -10 numerical key(0-9) -decimal point -plus/minus -clear key Example Suppose the value 22.189 has to be programmed. The table below shows the order of the keys to be pressed. The number of decimals depends on the setting of the machine parameter and may as well be limited to only one digit. Key pressed ue on display 00 Clear key When the clear key is pressed the value on the display is set to zero Notice To the parameter of Pp, AP and Cor, when the second row displays POOH**, the first row display x-axis value. When the second row displays POOU**, the first row display y-axis value4.3 X-axis or Y-axis position Pp When the cursor is at Pp a value is displayed, the value is x-axis or y-axis position. The position can be edited. If the cursor is at Pp and a correction(Cor) has been programmed this will be indicated by a flashing the “Cor” LED. 4.4 Actual position readout Ap If Ap is selected the actual x-axis or axis position is displayed. If the reference has not passed yet only small squares are displayed: the lower four segments of each display are lit 4.5 Correction(Cor) Correction on the programmed x-axis or y-axis position. The value to be programmed at Cor appears in the same resolution as Ap. Default: 0 4.6 Retract distance (Rd) In some cases it may be necessary to move(retract) the backgauge from the material . This may occur at the moment when the mechanical action begins. The retract distance is a programmable displacement of the X- axis in the upcounting direction. The value at Rd appears in the same resolution as Pp. 47H step repetition: the number of times a step is repeated before the next step is executed. Range: 0-99 Default: 1 0Nore: to single step program, the value 0 means that the value 100.and to multi-step the value 0 means that the step must be skipped. 4.8 Darkness Program flow code: S= this step isn’t executed, the next step is loaded and the program is executed 6= afier this step has been completed the first step is loaded and the program isn't executed. 7= after this step has been completed the next step is loaded and the program is executed. 8= after this step has been completed the first step is loaded and the program is executed again. This is repeated endlessly. fote: to single step program, the value is nonsensical 4.9 Parameter value checking Each programmed parameter is checked against its minimum and maximum value. If a programmed value is out of the range, the display starts flashing.5. Programming examples -single step program Single step program means controller runs in the statue of POO***.

Delete program: 1. on stop mode, continuously press the P key until the Pp(h) LEDs light. 2. press the P key, input the password 3636, then press the key / toenter. 3. press the P key to select the program of 1, 2, 3, 4 and all the selected program can be deleted by pressing the key ce 4, press the P key to exit. After clearing the program, the parameters of the program will be zero.7. Teach in: In order to make the controller quickly get the actual position of the backgauge, “Teach in” function can be used. 1. in stop mode, continuously press P key till the Pp(h) LEDs light. 2.press P key, input the password 1212, then press the key “ to enter into. 3.input the present position of x-axis or y-axis. 4.by pressing the key “to confirm. 5 press the P key to exit. The controller will memorize the present position.8. Diagnostic program With the E20 diagnostic program, you can test all E20 hardware, software and interface connection. The selected test is always displayed in the two leftmost digits of the display. The other four digits are used to display test dependent information. Starting the diagnostic program 1. on stop mode, continuously press the key until the Pp(h) LEDs light. 2.press the P key, input the password 5656, then press the key “ toenter The diagnostic program contains the following tests: - status of LEDs - front-panel keys janane digital inputs and outputs Al: status of LEDs With this diagnosis program all the digits of all the displays are tested. The phases of test consists of: 1. all segments of all displays are lid 2. all segments of all displays are off 3. one segment of each display is lid for about 1 second. Then the next segment is lid ete. 4. all segments of one display are lid for about 1 second. Then the next display is lid etc. 5. all available decimal points are lid, Continue to the next test by pressing >‘A2: front-panel keys With this test all front-panel key’s can be tested separately. When a key is pressed , a corresponding code will be displayed on the two rightmost digits of the display.
