Production Management Control
					A complete clutch and motor control that incorporates Minster's exclusive production management software. This control can be retrofit onto any brand of mechanical press
	Control Features: • Large, color touch screen display • Allen Bradley based open architecture design ~ Minster-developed software ~ Ancillary equipment can easily be integrated into control ~ Future technology enhancements can be implemented with greater ease ~ Parts readily available world wide • Detailed diagnostic "Message Center" display ~ Faults are color-coded based upon their importance and priority ~ Identifies and maintains the reason for last stop as well as the current machine faults • 16-pole programmable limit switch • Auto inch to position • Stopping time indicator • Multiple level password security • Programmable energy saver mode • Dual language capability • Tool storage for all machine parameters • Scratchpad input saves with each tool number • Broad range of production and maintenance counters • Advanced die protection features available • Clutch and motor control & brake monitor included in PMC Control -- available with PM/AC as an option • Many optional features and enhancements available Production Management 16-Point Die Protection Module – Standard with sixteen independent high speed inputs to detect event changes within 1 degree at speeds up to 1800 spm enabling quick die protection updates. The Die Protection Auto Tune feature allows for automatic adjustment of die protection sensors, which aids in the debug and set up of die protection programs. This feature is beneficial in eliminating nuisance faults due to sensor hysteresis, speed changes, etc. Includes two press mounted interfaces for sensor connections consisting of six (6) five-way binding posts and two (2) Brad-Harrison type “Micro-Change” connectors.

This feature is beneficial in eliminating nuisance faults due to sensor hysteresis, speed changes, etc. Includes two press mounted interfaces for sensor connections consisting of six (6) five-way binding posts and two (2) Brad-Harrison type “Micro-Change” connectors. Micro-Change modules include two additional 8-point Brad-Harrison type connection blocks wired in parallel with standard input interface. Minster Production Management Load Monitor displays press load, allows for peak and reverse tonnage alarm settings and provides trend analysis to help protect the press and dies from potential overload conditions. System includes ‘Monitor Parts Mode’, which automatically compares each successive press cycle against a stored benchmark allowing for accurate ‘real time’ part quality and die protection strategies. Adjustable view window provides capability for monitoring specific process within tool such as peak forward load, snap through, or stripper plate impact. Load monitor system is dynamically calibrated through the full operating speed and tonnage range of the press and includes two strain gauge transducers located on press connections.
