ABSTRACT:
A control for a press and system for making can ends includes a programmable controller (PLC) which incorporates unique control software interconnecting the PLC and the press mechanisms. The PLC and its software in turn interfaces with a programmable interface device, such as a commercially available Smart Screen interface (SSI) which includes a keyboard and color monitor for operator input/output. The interface includes its own software which interfaces with the PLC software, the keyboard, the monitor, and a programmable CAD package which allows a designer to create and store various interactive and/or passive displays as unique software files related to conditions and operations of the can end making press system coupled to the PLC. A unique set of such programmed displays is disclosed, certain of which are directly interactive with parts and/or transducers fitted to the press and its related tooling. Some displays are continually interactive with the PLC control, others are interactive upon command, and still others are prompt and assist instruction types of display. These displays allow the system operator to operate the system through various set-up, jog, and run modes, maintenance functions, and also to indicate and identify incipient and actual error conditions, and to record data associated with the press operation. Records can be temporary or more permanent, as desired.
