3. Operational safety

The machine is state-of-the-art and reliable.

However, due to the large number of clamping points, this machine


may be a source of danger if it is operated by untrained personnel
or if incorrectly operated. This may result in:
• Dangers to the safety of the operator, e.g. crushing or
amputation of the arms, hands, fingers or other body parts.
• Impairments to the machine and other property of the user.
• Impairment of the working efficiency of the machine.

3.1 Correct use

The TruBend Series 3000 are CNC-controlled press brakes for


bending cold metal sheets by forming.

The following machining operations are not permitted with


TruBend Series 3000:

workpieces manually person (also see Section 5: Workplaces and Section 6: Permissible
operators, page 1-28).

The machines can also be operated by two persons. A second foot


switch must thus be provided.

B561EN01.DOC 3BOperational safety 1-7


Positioning workpieces The workpieces are correctly positioned if, from the point of view of
correctly the operator, they are at least 50 mm in front of the bending line
before the backgauge moves to the next stop position. This de-
finition is applicable in combination with "Automatic Safety Travel
Speed System" (ASV).

If other backgauge traverse modes are used, other tool positions


selected by the operator can also be correct, if these prevent
collisions with the moving backgauge in a similar manner.

Operating a machine with If the machine is converted to robot loading, the machine's stan-
a robot dard protection systems are not sufficient. The machine including
the robot must be additionally secured in compliance with the
relevant safety regulations to prevent:

Water protection

In the Federal Republic of Germany, the principle of precaution


applies to all machines that use materials which could pollute
water. This principle states that no water contamination may result
from the use of such substances. This is the main point of §19 of
the Water Resources Act (WHG). The plant decrees (VAwS) and

3.4 Measures to be taken by the
manufacturer

The machine may only be operated with using appropriate safety


devices used to secure the danger zone.

Safety measures for the The machine is equipped with the following safety measures for
danger zone the danger zone:
• Optoelectronic safety devices: TRUMPF BendGuard or light
curtain.
• Operating modes "Foot operation" and "Two-foot operation"
(foot operation by two operators) with a rapid speed of
220 mm/s only in combination with an optoelectronic protective
device.
• Safety doors on the sides and a roller gate at the back to
secure the danger zone, including special safety locking
mechanisms.
• Safety control system.
• Robot switch in switch cabinet.
• Manual adjustment of gauge finger without reaching into the
danger zone in the machine.
• EMERGENCY STOP and foot switch EMERGENCY-UP.

Optoelectronic safety device Working at a rapid speed >10 mm/s is permitted only when an
optoelectronic protective device is used.
The optoelectronic protective device must be available at the
machine as a mandatory addition in the countries of the European
Union and other countries with similar laws.

TRUMPF offers the following optoelectronic protective devices:


• TRUMPF BendGuard.
• Light curtain.

TRUMPF BendGuard TRUMPF BendGuard enables work at rapid speed without im-
pairing the safety of the operating personnel. To ensure this, the
area underneath the upper tool is constantly monitored by two
bands of three visible red laser beams, which move along with the
machine. If the light beams are interrupted, the downward move-
ment of the beam is stopped.

Light curtain The light curtain is an optoelectronic protective device and enables
work at rapid speed without impairing the safety of the operating
personnel.
The light curtain is attached in front of the beam and table and
protects against obstacles from a length of 14 mm. If the light
curtain is interrupted, the beam stops and moves to the upper dead
center in order to avoid injuries. The movement of the beam then
needs to be actively restarted.

1-20 3BOperational safety B561EN01.DOC


"Foot operation" mode In "foot operation", the beam of the machine can move downwards
only at slow working speed (1-10 mm/s). In combination with the
optoelectronic protective device, the beam can however move
down (as far as the mute point) at rapid speed (220 mm/s). The
optoelectronic protective device stops the descending movement
of the beam if the operator reaches into the danger zone.
• When switching the operating mode from one to two
operators, the change of operating mode must be confirmed by
both operators with the BEAM DOWN foot switch.
• When switching the operating mode from two to one operator,
the change of operating mode must be confirmed by both
operators with the BEAM DOWN foot switch.

"Two-hand operation" In the two-hand operation, the beam can move down (as far as the
operating mode (optional) mute point) at rapid speed (>10 mm/s).

Manual increment switching After every bend, the approach to the next position of the
(MSC) backgauge must be initiated by pressing the foot switch.
• When operated by just one person, manual jog movement is
possible with the active foot switch BEAM DOWN.
• When operated by two persons, both operators need to
approve the manual jog movement by pressing the BEAM
DOWN foot switch.

Note
If only once switch is selected at the control system, then no stroke
is triggered when the second foot switch is actuated.

Automatic safety travel speed The rear stop moves automatically to the next stop position at the
system (ASV) end of the bending operation:
• If the target point of the rear back stop axis (X, R, Z) is within a
defined safety range, the relevant backgauge moves to the
stop position in the Y direction at maximum speed. The danger
of squeezing and crushing is avoided by a hinged rear stop
finger. All other axes of the backgauge move with reduced
speed.
• If the start and target points are located outside the defined
safety range, then the rear stop moves directly to the stop
position with maximum speed.

Note
If it is not possible to work with the "Automatic Safety Path System"
(ASV), then a corresponding message will be displayed on the
user interface. The "Manual increment switching" (MSC) method
must be traversed in such cases.

B561EN01.DOC 3BOperational safety 1-21


Protective interlock devices The protective interlock devices (in particular the roller gate at the
rear and the safety doors on the sides) for securing the danger
zone of the machine are effective in all operating modes of the
control system.

If a sequestering protection device was previously opened, the


operator must assure himself that there is nobody in the danger
area secured by the protection device before restarting the
machine.

If the rear roller gate is opened during machine operation:


• The beam stops.
• All drive motors are stopped.
• All CNC-controlled axes are stopped.

Opening the roller gate during operation of the machine is


considered the same as pressing the EMERGENCY STOP. The
machine cannot be restarted until all doors are closed.

If the side safety doors are opened during operation of the


machine:
• All CNC-controlled axes are stopped.

If one of the side safety doors is opened during operation:


• The beam can still move with reduced speed (max. 10 m/s)
after the BEAM DOWN or START foot switch is pressed.

If both the side safety doors are opened during operation:


• The beam stops.
• All drive motors are stopped.
• All CNC-controlled axes are stopped.

Note
The protective interlock devices (side safety doors, but also the
covers of the hydraulic cylinder) are made partially of polymethyl-
methacrylate (impact-resistant acrylic glass). This material can age
as the result of environmental effects (become brittle). The owner
must therefore check regularly that this material is still fulfilling its
protective function.

1-22 3BOperational safety B561EN01.DOC


Safety control system The safety control system complies with the requirements of
Category 4 of EN 954-1:
• A single error in the control system will not lead to the loss of
the safety function (single error security).
• If possible, the safety function recognizes an error either during
or before the next request from the safety function.
• An accumulation of errors should not normally lead to the loss
of the safety function.

The safety functionalities thus remain operational when an error


occurs. The error is recognized in time to prevent a loss of the
safety functions.

Safety is ensured by the following:


• Safety control system.
• Tested software modules.
• Use of double-channel outputs (e.g. for a high speed valve).

The software version can be seen on the display of the safety


control system.

Note
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for use of the safety
control system software on other machines or for any improper use
of the software.

Robot switch in switch The control connection between the robot and the press is on the
cabinet same plug in the switch cabinet as for operating station 1. The
operating station must be out of the press area.
The robot switch in the switch cabinet has two settings:
• Setting 0: Beam travels without optoelectronic protective
device at reduced speed ≤10 mm/s.
• Setting 1: Robot operation.
The position of the robot switch is monitored: the beam moves
to position 1 at rapid speed only if a robot is connected to a
plug. If operating station 1 is connected, the beam only travels
to position 1 at reduced speed even with the robot switch at
setting 1.

Manual backguage finger During manual repositioning of the gauge fingers, they move to a
adjustment safe tooling position for the operator in front of the tool level. The
operator does not need to reach through the tool level.

B561EN01.DOC 3BOperational safety 1-23


EMERGENCY STOP EMERGENCY STOP devices are at several points of the machine:
• EMERGENCY STOP impact button on the foot switch.
• EMERGENCY STOP on the control panel.
• EMERGENCY STOP function of the foot switch BEAM DOWN
(EMERGENCY STOP function of the foot switch is triggered by
pressing the foot switch with a force of at least 220 N).
• EMERGENCY STOP impact button on the foot switch 2
(optional).
• EMERGENCY STOP impact button on the two-hand console
(optional).

Activating EMERGENCY STOP affects the following machine


functions:
• Interruption of the power supply of the machine (24 V control
voltage is retained at the machine).
• Beam movement stops, the hydraulic unit is switched off.
• All CNC-controlled axes stop moving.

Foot switch EMERGENCY-UP An EMERGENCY-UP foot switch is located on the foot switch or
the two-hand operator console. The beam can be moved up as far
as the upper dead point by pressing this foot switch.

2. Electrical supply

2.1 Power supply

Continuous undervoltage or overvoltage is not permitted. Greater


voltage fluctuations endanger the problem-free operation of the
machines and reduce their performance.

NEC conditions Note


The NEC applies only to Canada and the USA.

Grounding The machine and power distributor system must be equipped with
a grounding line in accordance with NEC article 250, "Grounding".
For details on grounding power distributor systems and industrial
plants, refer to the NEC standards or consult an electrician or the
power station.

Grounded power supply with Power supply lines in ungrounded power supply systems with delta
star connection connection are not fail-safe by nature. Delta power supply systems
tend to generate transient overvoltage to ground. Delta power
supply systems can result in increased voltages being applied to
the connected devices. The control system or machine can no
longer be operated reliably if a potential to ground occurs in the
system. For this reason a grounded transformer must be installed
in the star connection in delta power supply systems (see NEC
article 450-5).

3.1 Machine body

The FEM-designed machine body is an all-steel welded


construction. It consists of two side elements, the press table and a
connection support. The machine frame is particularly
distinguished by:
• Consistently high level of accuracy.
• Large throat for a large bending space.
• Easy access to the tool holder.

3.2 Upper drive and hydraulic system

The beam is driven by a high-pressure internal gear pump via a


self-ventilating proportional path hydraulic system. An integrated
path measurement system which is in constant communication
with the control system provides machine frame springback com-
pensation, thereby guaranteeing the correct positioning of the
beam during press brake bending.
This combination has the following advantages:
• The press force is immediately available.
• A high level of positioning accuracy allows for the precise
reproduction of bending angles, even for large-scale jobs.
• The machine is particularly quiet.

Inclined position of the beam Both hydraulic cylinder pairs on each side can be triggered
separately. This allows a defined inclined position of the beam to
be programmed.

3.3 Beam

The beam is suspended spherically in the machine frame. Its main


features include:
• Consistently high level of accuracy.
• High level of bending rigidity.

B561EN03.DOC 3BThe most important modules 3-9


3.4 Crowning

Crowning compensates for the bowing of the beam and press table
in order to achieve a consistent and straight bend along the entire
length.

The following types of crowning are possible:


• Crowning shots with crowning blocks.
• Mechanical crowning (for TruBend 3120).
• Hydraulic crowning (for TruBend 3180).

Crowning slots with crowning blocks

The crowning setting is automatic: there are two crowning slots


located on both sides of the press table which cause the press
table to apply more force on the outer sides than in the middle
position, thus adjusting perfectly to the bowing of the beam.

1 1

1 Crowning slots
Press table with crowning slots Fig. 29748

The press table and crowning slots have been designed so that the
correct crowning is always applied.
The crowning can be activated as well as deactivated using a
lever.

Fig. 52436

3-10 3BThe most important modules B561EN03.DOC


Mechanical crowning

In addition to standard crowning, the TruBend 3120 is also


equipped with mechanical crowning that is at the center of the
press table.
The press table (from a width of 3 m) is raised with the help of a
wedge system. A uniform angle can be ensured for longer bends
as well.

Hydraulic crowning

In addition to standard crowning, the TruBend 3180 is also


equipped with hydraulic crowning that is at the center of the press
table. A uniform angle can be ensured for longer bends as well.
The press table (from a width of 4 m) is raised with the help of a
hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinders (flat cylinders) are
installed in a slotting in the machine frame.
The crowning value is calculated and displayed by the control
system. The value can be manually adapted if required.

3.7 Backgauge

The backgauge supports the workpiece during bending.

The following backgauge systems are possible:


• 2-axis backgauge.
• 4-axis backgauge (optional).
• 5-axis backguage (optional): 4-axes backgauge with an CNC-
controlled gauge finger (X5 axis).

Upward folding gauge fingers In case of a collision, the ideally hinged standard gauge fingers flip
backwards. This prevents damage to bending parts and to the
gauge finger.

Safe shifting of the gauge The gauge fingers can be moved 20 mm in front of the tool plane
fingers for repositioning. Because of this, the operator does not have to
reach through the tool plane unassisted or using an auxiliary tool.

Backgauge system Fig. 52435

3-16 3BThe most important modules B561EN03.DOC


2-axes backguage

The gauge depth (X axis) and the gauge height (R axis) are CNC-
controlled. Improved workpiece quality is achieved by means of
better control performance and RPM accuracy of the digital drive
controllers for these axes.

Additional features of the CNC backgauge system include:


• No tooling times for X and R axes, as the gauge height and
depth can be programmed freely at the control system.
• High positioning speed and wide traverse paths. This also
ensures minimum production time, even for large workpieces.
• Minimal handling time.
• Infinitely variable programming of X and R axes enables the
machining of complicated products and minimizes gauge
tolerances.

4-axes backgauge (optional)

The 4-axis backgauge is an extension of the 2-axis backgauge. In


addition to the CNC-controlled gauge depth (X axis) and gauge
height (R axis), lateral adjustment of the gauge fingers (Z1/Z2
axes) is also CNC-controlled.
The gauge finger position is programmed directly into the control
system, eliminating the need for manual gauge finger adjustment.

5-axes backgauge (optional)

Extended backguage concept The 5-axes backguage with a relative X-axis (X5 axis) is a
configuration stage of the 4-axes backgauge. One of the two
gauge fingers can be moved in the X direction by ±80 mm in an
NC-controlled manner.
The X5 axis can be programmed in the control system.

B561EN03.DOC 3BThe most important modules 3-17


3.8 Tool clamping

Upper tool holder The upper tool clamp is self-centering. An idle stroke is not re-
quired to align individual upper tool segments after a tool change.
All upper tools can be inserted from both sides. This reduces tool
costs to a great extent, as elbowed tools in particular can be used
in a flexible manner.
Upper tools up to a length of 100 mm are equipped with Safety-
Click® and can be changed vertically.

The following upper tool holders are possible:


• Manual clamping, individual segments:

items can be ordered from it.

3-22 4BTools B561EN03.DOC


TRUMPF bending tools The work surfaces for all tools and the support areas of the lower
LASERdur® tool holders are hardened. The work radii of all tools are laser-
hardened. This has the following advantages:
• Long service life of the tools.
• High levels of machine accuracy maintained over time.

Tools of varying lengths All tools exist in various graduations and lengths that can be
combined with one another:
• Several tool stations can be used.
• Lower tool costs.
• Time-efficient operation.

Safety-Click safety element® All tools with a length of up to 100 mm are equipped with Safety-
Click®. This safety device prevents the tools from falling out of the
tool clamping. The lock can be released by pushing a button:
• The upper tools can be changed quickly and safely in vertical
position.
• Shorter tool set-up times because tools must no longer be
removed laterally from the upper tool holder.

Using for folding over TRUMPF upper tools can be inserted on both sides. This results in
a considerable reduction of tool costs particularly with elbowed
tools.

Self-centering The upper tool holder for TRUMPF tools is self-centering. Upper
tools do not have to be aligned by means of an idle stroke before
the first bending.

4.2 Programming the tools

All tools and special tools from TRUMPF that can be used for the
TruBend Series 3000 have already been stored in the control

Two-hand operation Manual buttons and foot switch BEAM DOWN are active. Both the
operating mode manual buttons must be pressed at the same time to move the
beam (with rapid speed up to the mute point). From the mute point,
the BEAM DOWN foot switch also needs to be pressed to move
the beam at the operating speed (max. 10 mm/s).

5.3 Network connection

Programs, tools and machine parameters can be directly imported


to the control system from a network drive or saved from the
control system onto a network drive.

Unlimited size of the The advantages are obvious:


memory capacity • Memory capacity for the bending programs can be expanded
as required.
• Backup by the external data memory prevents data loss.

Data can still be managed using diskettes, as before.

5.4 TRUMPF BendGuard

Note
Working at a rapid speed >10 mm/s is permitted only when an
optoelectronic safety device is used.

Innovative safety concept TRUMPF BendGuard enables work at rapid speed without impair-
ing the safety of the operating personnel. The area below the up-
per tool is thus monitored constantly by two moving bands of three
visible red laser beams. If the light beams are interrupted, the
downward movement of the beam is stopped.

TRUMPF BendGuard is a non-contact protection device (BWS) of


type 4 according to EN 954 with integrated springback verification
device.A safety level in accordance with EN 12622 (2001) 5.3.2(f)
has been achieved.

3-26 5BThe most important options B561EN03.DOC


Principle Three parallel laser beams shine in front of the upper tool at a
distance of 4 mm (laser light A) and 14 mm (laser light B) under the
upper tool tip and serve as hand and finger protection. The
effective width of the laser band starts 20 mm in front of and ends
20 mm behind the upper tool tip.

Note
Laser light A is only visible when the foot switch is pressed.

1 Transmitter 4 Lower tool


2 Laser light A 5 Upper tool
3 Laser light B 6 Receiver
Principle of the TRUMPF BendGuard Fig. 30830

The 40 mm wide laser lights are divided into three individual


beams:
• An approximately 20 mm wide laser light in front of the upper
tool tip.
• A laser beam with circular cross-section under the upper tool
tip.
• An approximately 20 mm wide laser light behind the upper tool
tip.

In this way BendGuard knows if the light interruption should be


before, exactly under or behind the upper tool tip. If the laser light
is interrupted, the beam is stopped.

The upper tool can be moved at rapid speed up to the mute point
(switch-over point from rapid speed to working speed), after which
the bending process takes place at working speed.
When bending boxes or troughs, the two outer laser beams can be
deactivated (nesting mode). This avoids collision contours through
side walls that have already been bent. Operator safety is ensured
by the middle beam.

B561EN03.DOC 5BThe most important options 3-27


If the laser beams hit an obstacle, the machine stops. When the
obstacle is removed, the bending procedure can be continued by
pressing the foot switch again. This ensures 100% hand and finger
protection in the area of the outward laser beam.

1 Laser lights A and B 3 Mute point


2 Obstacle 4 Workpiece
Fig. 31069

Advantages • Rapid speed is permissible only with foot operation; the hands
remain free for handling the tools.
• Optimal productivity; no reduction in cycle time compared to
operation without this safety application.
• Choice between normal mode with three beams and nesting
mode with one or two beams.
• Intermediate storage in the provided holding fixture in the direct
vicinity of the place of use.
• Quickly adjustable to all standard tool heights.
• User friendly, because the programming functions and displays
are integrated into the standard control system.
• Programming errors during the determination of the mute point
are monitored and cause no safety risk.

Further functions In addition to light beam interruption, TRUMPF BendGuard also


monitors the speed of the beam at rapid speed and working speed,
the springback of the beam and the position of the mute point.

Fastening to the machine TRUMPF BendGuard is laterally mounted on the beam and can
thus be easily moved upwards for replacing an upper tool.

Functions of the magnetic plate

This magnetic plate is magnetic. There is a functional area on the


black rear side:
• Millimeter scale from 0 to 20 mm.

Magnetic plate Fig. 35733

Position of the laser beam The magnetic plate is used to check the position of the laser beam
under the upper tools. To do this, the millimeter scale is printed on
the magnetic plate.

Further functions The following points are only necessary for a sheet thickness
<1 mm or die widths ≥40 mm. Magnetic plates are not required in
all other cases:
• Simulation of the sheet thickness:
– The magnetic plate is slid upwards by the thickness of the
sheet when the mute point is being determined. To do this,
the millimeter scale is printed on the magnetic plate.
• Shielding the laser beam after the mute point:
– TRUMPF BendGuard requires and monitors the correct
definition of the mute point. The laser beam must be
interrupted after reaching the mute point. Otherwise, the
bending cycle is not completed.
– This interruption is caused by placing the magnetic plate
on the lower tool laterally. This hinders the laser beam
from shining through the lower tool.

B561EN03.DOC 5BThe most important options 3-29


Indicator lamp on the transmitter

A red indicator lamp is located on the BendGuard transmitting unit:


• Lit up continuously: the indicator lamp is lit up continuously
once the mute point has been reached or when the laser beam
is interrupted.
• Slow blinking: In the nest bending mode (BendGuard modes 2
and 4) the indicator lamp blinks slowly until the mute point has
been reached or until the laser beam has been interrupted.
• Rapid flashing: the indicator lamp flashes rapidly in the event
of malfunctions or screen messages.

Safety after the mute point TRUMPF BendGuard requires and monitors the correct definition
of the mute point. The laser beam must be interrupted after
reaching the mute point. Otherwise, the bending cycle is not
completed.
This interruption is caused by placing the magnetic plate on the
lower tool laterally. This hinders the laser beam from shining
through the lower tool during the bending cycle.
From the mute point on, it can not differentiate between loading
your finger or a metal sheet, as the laser beam is switched to mute
mode. But if the mute point has been correctly defined, it should
not be possible to jam your finger in the narrow gap between upper
tool and the lower tool.

3-30 5BThe most important options B561EN03.DOC


Checking the function before An inspection must be carried out every day to determine whether
starting work TRUMPF BendGuard is working perfectly. Do not trust the setting
without first checking yourself.

1. Interrupt the laser beam with an object during the closing


motion in rapid speed.
The downward motion of the beam must come to a stop.
2. Check the mute point.

Avoiding contamination ¾ Keep the transmitter and receiver panes free of dust, dirt, and
oil.
¾ Avoid scratches in the beam area.
¾ Clean the window only with a soft, slightly damp cotton cloth.

5.5 Light curtain

Note
Working at a rapid speed >10 mm/s is permitted only when an
optoelectronic safety device is used.

Optimum protection without The light curtain is an optoelectronic safety device for the operator
loss of productivity and enables operation of the machine at rapid speed (220 mm/s).

The light curtain is attached in front of the beam and press table
and protects against obstacles from a length of 14 mm.

If the light curtain is interrupted, the beam stops and moves to the
upper dead point in order to avoid injuries.

16. Switching between MSC and ASV

Bending programs are processed in automatic mode. The rear stop


can be traversed with two methods:
• Manual increment switching (MSC):
– To move the backgauge to the next stop position after the
bending, press the BEAM DOWN foot switch. Then trigger
the next stroke.
• Automatic Safety Path System (ASV): the backgauge travels
automatically to the next stop position at the end of the
bending operation.
– If the target point is located within a defined safety range,
then the backgauge will travel to the stop position from
above with maximum speed. The danger of squeezing and
crushing is avoided by a hinged rear stop finger.
– If the start and target points are located outside the defined
safety range, then the backgauge will travel with maximum
speed directly to the stop position.

• It can cause an interruption if the light from the transmitter
does not completely hit the receiver (too little light).
• If barely sufficient light hits the receiver, minimal contamination
can lead to interruptions.

The problems mentioned above trigger a machine stop. To avoid


this, it is necessary to align the transmitter and receiver exactly.
The transmitter and receiver are fastened with fixed holding
brackets, which specify the alignment extensively.

Note
When the laser alignment aid AR 60 is used, proceed according to
the description included with the device.

Aligning the transmitter 1. Align transmitter and receiver to each other.

3. Swivel transmitter forwards until the red LED on the receiver
lights up and the green LED goes out.
4. Note the position of the transmitter.
5. Swivel transmitter back until the red LED on the receiver lights
up and the green LED goes out.
6. Note the position of the transmitter.
7. Fix the transmitter in the center of the swiveling range
(positions from steps 4 and 6).
Aligning the receiver 8. Swivel the receiver forwards until the red LED lights up and the
green LED goes out.
9. Note the position of the receiver.
10. Swivel the receiver back until the red LED lights up and the

Analyzing the hydraulic oil Maintenance interval: 5000 operating hours.

1. Change oil filter (see above).


2. Have the hydraulic oil examined by a lubricating agent
laboratory. Depending on the results, an oil change might have
to be carried out. The following analysis values are required:
– TAN (Total Acid Number).
– Viscosity
– Water content.

If the water content is >1000 ppm, then damage to compo-


nents has probably already been caused!
Corrosion of the machine
Warning ¾ Contact TRUMPF technical customer service.

3. The hydraulic oil must be changed if the analysis indicates at


least one of the following values (see below):
– TAN (Total Acid Number) >2.5.
– Viscosity <41.4 mm2/s or >50.6 mm2/s for ISO VG 46.
– Water content > 500 ppm.

Value Explanation/effect
TAN Oil ages; surface corrosion and deposits possible.
(Total Acid Number)
Viscosity Significant deviations in viscosity are a sign of severe
contamination and foul oil.
Water content The vapor pressure of water is significantly higher than
that of oil.
It can cause cavitation (vapor bubbles are created at
low pressure before the water condenses suddenly
(when pressure is increased)).

1. Remote desktop between a pc and the DA-W control


It is possible to establish a remote connection between the DA-W control and a remote pc,
meaning that the remote pc takes control of the DA-W control. In this situation the control
screen is visible on the remote pc. From the pc, the user can operate the Delem application or
switch to Windows and adjust settings there. If the Delem application is active, it is not
possible to switch between operation modes (manual mode, programing mode, etc.) and it is
also not possible to start or stop operation.
To enable remote operation, there must be valid TCP/IP connection between the control and
the remote pc. See the next section about the several ways to establish a valid connection.
The remote pc must be equipped with a software tool known as ‘Remote Display Control’.
This software can be obtained from the Website of Microsoft.
When the software is installed and a connection is active, proceed as follows:
• activate the application ‘Remote Display Control’ from theWindows Start menu. An
empty window will open, meaning that the software is waiting for a remote device to
report itself to the software;
• on the DA-W control, use the Windows Explorer to browse to the subdirectory
\Windows;
• in this directory, double-click the icon ‘CERdisp.exe’;

When activated, a message appears about the version of the software. Click ‘OK’ to continue.
the following window appears:

-3-
Delem

• In this Window, click on the button ‘Connect’. The following Window appears:

• In the field ‘hostname’ you should enter the name or the IP number of the remote pc to
which you wish to connect.

When this operation is succesfull, you will see the display of the control appear in a window
on the remote desktop pc. It is now possible to perform actions on the control from the remote
pc.
In case the connection between the pc and the control is done through a simple ‘crossed’ UTP
cable (Ultra Twisted Pair), you must enter the IP number of the remote pc. In other cases, it is
also possible to enter the name of the pc.

2. How to implement networking with the DA-W control


This section will describe different network possibilities for the DA-W control.

We will discuss three possible settings:

• Network connection
• direct link between a control and a PC through an ethernet cross-cable.
• modem connection between control and PC.

2.1. Network connection

In this case, the control is connected to a standard local network. From the user point of view,
this setting is the easiest alternative. When the control is started it will receive a network
addres (IP number) from the network server.
If the network is connected to the internet, internet browsing can be done through the network
connection. To obtain contact with other pc’s it is necessary to know which IP number they
got from the network server or which name they have.

Network

UTP UTP

PC

DA-W
control

In this situation, the network settings of the control must be as such, that the control will
obtain an IP number from the network server.

-5-
Delem
To check and adjust the network settings, open the Windows Control Panel. It should look as
follows:

In this screen, double-click the icon ‘Network and dial-up connections’. the following screen
appears:

-6-
Delem
This screen can also be entered directly from the start menu by scrolling to ‘settings’ and
choosing ‘Network and dial-up connections’.
The second icon, PCI-RTLxxxx, represents the built-in ethernet connector. To modify the
settings, select the icon, open the ‘file’ menu and select ‘properties’. A new window appears
in which the settings of the ethernet port can be edited.

Select the setting ‘obtain an IP address via DHCP’. This way, the control will receive an
address fom the server. Such a setting should be active on every pc, that is connected to the
same network.
If this setting is active and you wish to view your own network settings, double-click on the
network symbol in the Windows taskbar:

A window with network information will appear:

Delem

2.2. Direct link between a control and a pc

UTP (cross)

DA-W
PC control

In this situation, there is no network available. The pc and the control are connected directly
through a UTP cable. The cable should be a ‘crossed’ UTP cable.
As soon as the two machines are connected, click on the network symbol as shown before. In
the network information window, click on the button ‘Renew’. The IP number of the control
will change to 0.0.0.0. Now wait until the IP number changes again. It should change to a
number starting with 169.254.... Check the same on the pc. The control and the pc can still be
used for remote display operation. In this situation, however, you must enter the IP number of
the pc in the ‘connect’ dialog to get a connection.

-8-
Delem

2.3. Modem connection between control and PC

In this situation, the control uses a modem to make a dial-up connection to the remote pc.
Both systems are equipped with a modem.

Telephone network

Modem Modem

DA-W
PC control

The pc must be equipped with dial-up server software to accept incoming calls from the
control. From the control, a dial-up connection is initiated.

3. Modem connection on DA-W control


This chapter serves to describe how a modem connection is established on a Delem DA-60W
control. A DA-60W control is equipped with a Windows operating system which gives the
user the possibility to act as an internet client. In this description the assumption is made that
the control is not connected to an ethernet LAN but is equipped with a modem that is
connected to the serial port of he control. Through this modem, it is possible to make a dial-up
connection to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and thus obtain access to the internet.
Of course, the control must also be equipped with an internet browser (i.e. Internet Explorer).
After making a valid internet connection, the browser should have no trouble browsing the
internet.

The settings for a dial-up connection are initiated from the appropriate control panel, which is
directly accessible from the Windows Start menu:

- 14 -
Delem
In the control panel, click 'make new connection'.

In the window that appears, select 'dial-up connection'. In the top of the window, type the
name you wish to give your connection.

Click 'next' to proceed.

Delem

In this window, select the correct modem from the pop-down list. For a standard modem, you
should select 'Hayes compatible on COM1:'. The name COM1: refers to the serial interface at
the side of the main board, with the standard 9-pole sub-D connector.
The button 'TCP/IP Settings' and the button 'Security settings' give access to more advanced
settings. If you are an experienced internet user, you could select these functions and enter
more specialised settings. If not, it is best to leave these functions alone at his time.
The button 'Configure' is used to adjust the modem settings.

Normally, most of these settings are correct, but you should check whether the baud rate is set
to the correct speed. Check your modem specifications for the correct settings. If correct, click
'OK' to return to the modem connection dialog. Click 'next' to continue.
The next window shows the phone number codes of your ISP: country code, area code and
phone number.

- 16 -
Delem
Make sure to enter these fields correct, so that the control will dial the correct number. When
the numbers are entered, click 'Finish'. The connection is created. When you look at the
screen, you will see an extra icon has been added with your connection name below it.

Your connection is not complete yet. Double-click the connection icon to open your
connection. In the dialog that appears, enter your user name and password with which you can
identify yourself to the ISP.

If you must use this connection often, it can be useful to select 'save password'. This way, the
connection is opened quickly when it is called for.
Click the button 'dial properties'.

- 17 -
Delem

A new window opens, in which area codes for several locations can be set. Enter the codes for
the appropriate area and country. When the control will start to dial the ISP, it will compare
the country and area code of the ISP with the codes that you have programmed here. When
those codes are the same (meaning the control is in the same area as the ISP), the control will
omit those codes from the dial string and dial the ISP directly. Click the button 'New' to
program a new location from where you will call.
Click the button 'Dialling patterns' to program the manner in which the control will dial the
ISP.

In this window, three methods are shown how to call the ISP:
• make a local call (the ISP is in the same area as the control)
• make a long distance call (the ISP is in a different area as the control, but still in the
same country)
• make an international call (the ISP is in another country)

When the call is made, the control will compare the dial codes of the ISP with the codes of the
control. Based on this comparison, the control will choose one of the dial methods: local, long
distance or international.
The characters E, F and G are used to represent the numbers for country, area and phone
number. A comma stands for a short pause before dialling. Any other character that is entered,
will be interpreted literally.
When a local call is made, the control will dial the number as is indicated in the first field. For
a long distance call, the directions in the second field are followed and for an international call
the directions in the third field are followed.
For example, the direction for a local call could be:

,G

- 18 -
Delem
As is indicated at the bottom of the screen, G represents the telephone number of the ISP. So
when the control has determined the ISP and the control are in the same area, the control will
simply dial the telephone number.
The directions for a long distance call could be:

,0FG

The string begins with a zero, because in the case of a long distance call the number must start
with a zero. The F stands for the area code and the G stands for the ISP number.

Example:
A Delem control has been installed in Eindhoven, the user wishes to contact its ISP in
Amsterdam. The local area code of Eindhoven (where the control is located) is 40, the country
code of the control 31 (the Netherlands).
The area code of the ISP is 20 (Amsterdam), the country code of the ISP is 31 (the
Netherlands), the number of the provider is 1234567.
When the connection icon is opened, the control will check the data of the ISP. He will
determine that the control and the ISP are in the same country but not in the same area, so the
directions for a long distance call must be followed:

,0FG

This string is interpreted as follows:

, = (short pause)
0=0
F = 20
G = 1234567

So upon 'connect', the modem will dial: 0 20 1234567.

When the settings have been entered correctly, click on 'OK' in the upper right corner of the
screen to return to the initial dial-up window. In this window, the resulting phone number is
displayed that will actually be called by the modem. Click 'connect' to start the call and open a
connection to your ISP.

4. Wireless networking on the control


It is possible to connect the control to a wireles network. For instance, through a wireless
ethernet bridge that translates network data between wired and wireless networks. The device
has a standard ethernet port to which a computer or a DA-W control can be connected.

This is another example of networking possibilities. Also in this case, the network protocol is
TCP/IP. Although the connection is made through a wirelesse device, the network
organisation is the same as described in section 2.1 concerning a normal network.

5. The Linksys Wireless Acces Point Router


This device is both a network hub and a small network server. It can supply network adresses
(IP-numbers) to all connected clients.

A client (a pc or a DA-W control) can be connected through a UTP cable or through a


wireless connection. In both cases, a client receives an IP-number from the Router.

Delem
The settings of the Router can be adjusted, it necessary. For this purpose, the Router has a
small integrated webserver. This webserver can be from any of the connected clients through
their webbrowser. When a user attempts to connect, he will have to enter a username and
password. If these are entered correctly, a web page opens in which several router settings can
be adjusted.

Default, both the username and password of the Router are set to ‘admin’. For safety reaons,
you may wish to change this.
For wireless networking, the field ‘SSID’ may have to be edited. A network between wireless
devices will only function if these devices have the same SSID.

6. The Linksys Wireless Ethernet Bridge


This device translates network signals between a wired and a wireless network. As already
shown in the previous section, it enables a computer to connect to a wireless network.

Points of interest when connecting:


• Make sure the bridge device has power
• Make sure the client (a pc or a DA-W control) is connected to the LAN port of the
bridge. If the LED with the indication ‘LAN’ is lit, the client is connected correctly. If
the LED is not lit, check your cabling. If the cabling is sound, change the setting of the
switch with the cross and the stripes.
• Make sure the device reognises the wireless network. If the LED with the indication
‘WLAN’ is lit, the wireless network is sound. If no wireless network is recognised, it is
possible that the several devices do not have the same SSID.
