die-set encoder should be down and the plunger raised with the encoders zero set.
(23) Available only with proportional rod lift system. SPECIAL OPERATION = 15 must be set (with PC interface, go
to the "Special operations" page).
If problems arise during the YV21P self-learning procedure which prevent the correct offset values from being
determined or the values found do not allow for proper upward movement, the values can be assigned manually.
This is accomplished by setting the value in valve points of the downstroke and upstroke for the DOWNSTROKE
and UPSTROKE items.
(24) Available only with DIP. SPECIAL OPERATION = 5 has to be set (with PC interface, go to the "Special opera-
tions" page). The DIP encoder must be reset, the safety guards of the pressing zone should be closed (in work
position) with safety module AJ101 armed. A tile should be present (SQ43 triggered).
(26) The movement can be performed if no faults are present, if the encoder is zero set, if damaged tile ejection
cycle = yes and sensor SQ43 is activated.
The cycle consists of bringing the tile under the PH obviously without performing the press-cycle.
At the end of the cycle, the data item that enables the cycle is automatically set to = no.
(27) The movement can be performed if no faults are present, if the encoder is zero set, if the plunger and die-sets
are raised.
Movement is interrupted either when the end of forward stroke limit switch is reached or the keys are released.
(28) The movement can be performed if no faults are present, if the encoder is zero set, if the plunger and die-sets
are raised.
If a cycle with die-set downstroke has been set, the front band and knockout are automatically raised.
Movement is interrupted either when the end of return stroke limit switch is reached or the keys are released.
(29) The filler-box moves at a very low speed that cannot be set without taking into consideration the position read
by the encoder and set end of the strokes. The movement is limited by the end–stop.
Release the keys to interrupt the movement.
The movement can be carried out even when the encoder is not reset.
(30) After selecting the valve in question, press the keys to energize and de–energize it sequentially (ON –> OFF
–> ON –> OFF, etc...). The led indicates whether or not the selected valve is currently energized.

8.1 DATA
a) Data regarding the cycle that has just been completed are given in the first box to the left. The top of the page
shows the tile size being produced (to change these three values, go to the FITTINGS page).
b) Data recorded by the transducers installed in the machine appear in the right box. These values are refreshed
in real time.
A value expressed in bar that represents the applied offset value appears to the right of the CYLINDER PRES-
SURE. For example, if the cylinder pressure is 3 and the offset value is 2 it means that the value read by pres-
sure transducer BP1 is 1 bar.

SPECIAL OPERATION
Type of adjustments to be made on the press (see paragraph DESCRIPTION OF THE KEYS as well):
0 = no operation
2 = YV99 LEARNING
Available only for PCH.
35
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
6 = CHECK YV32/YV318
Available only with proportional hydraulic system.
This procedure is carried out to test the pressing and proportional plunger drive solenoid valves. More
precisely, a command is sent to YV32 that equals the value set for YV32 COMMAND and a command is
sent to YV318 that equals the value set for YV318 COMMAND without moving the plunger. This condition
persists for 10 sec during which it is advisable to check the I/O page to verify if the command (SET) and
relative feedback (SPOOL) of the proportional valves follow the command given.
10 = YV32/YV318 LEARNING
Available only with proportional hydraulic system.
This automatic procedure determines the offset values of the proportional solenoid valves for driving the
plunger and pressing. The operations are performed in the following order:
1. The command to be sent to YV32 to keep the plunger still is acquired.
2. The minimum command that opens YV318 is acquired.
3. The minimum command to be sent to YV32 to lower the plunger is acquired.
4. The minimum command to be sent to YV32 to raise the plunger is acquired.
Some conditions must be satisfied in order to perform the self-learning procedure for the proportional
solenoid valves; one of the fault messages given below may be displayed if one of these conditions is not
satisifed:
36
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
11 = YV100 LEARNING
Available only with differentiated press-cycle.
This automatic procedure determines the offset values of the proportional solenoid valves for the isostatic
pads/differentiated pressing unit. The operations are performed in the following order:
1. The command to be sent to YV100 to keep the booster still is acquired.
2. The minimum command to be sent to YV100 in order for the booster to perform its return stroke is ac-
quired.
3. The minimum command to be sent to YV100 in order for the booster to perform its forward stroke is
acquired.
14 = YV21P LEARNING
Available only with rod type proportional knockout.
This automatic procedure determines the offset values of the proportional solenoid valves for the proportional
knockout with rods.
The operations are performed in the following order:
1. knockout moved fully down
2. knockout moved up to determine the minimum upstroke speed
3. knockout moved down to determine the minimum downstroke speed
22 =
CLEAN SPE PROPORTIONAL VALVES (OIL) / YV21P
Available only with SPE 2+2 or rod type proportional knockout.
SPE 2+2:
This automatic procedure moves the spool of the proportional solenoid valves for driving the knockout repeatedly
without moving the die-set but supplying oil while opening towards the downstroke.
Rod:
This automatic procedure moves the spool of the proportional solenoid valves for driving the knockout repeatedly
without moving the die-set.
37
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
25 = CHECK YV20
Available only with DCP type filler-box.
This procedure allows the proportional solenoid valves that drive the filler-box to be tested.
More precisely, a command is sent to YV20 that is equal to the value set for YV20 COMMAND without moving
the filler-box. This condition remains for 10 seconds. At this time, it is advisable to go to the I/O page to verify if
the command (SET) and relative feedback (SPOOL) of YV20 follow the commands received.
- Is it the first time setting? Has the die-set been changed? (YES/NO)
If the answer is YES, the system does not check the old electrical resistance value saved that is overwritten
with the new value. On the other hand, if NO is entered, the system attempts to find an electrical resistance
value as close to the previously saved value as possible. If the difference is greater than + or – 0.5 ohm
the new value is not saved and a message is displayed informing the user the system has not been set.
This prevents the system from being set when an alarm signaling an electric fault that causes the current
to drop is given which would otherwise eliminate the alarm but not the problem. As this query has to be
answered, it is understandable that the operator may have some questions (why is a set-up procedure
necessary if the die-set has not been changed? Why has the current changed? Is a fault present that the
system correctly detected?) and will therefore perform this procedure only if truly required.

PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
- Die-set temperature? ( C)
This question is asked only if data item “Thermocouple presence, first current control channel = no”
Set the temperature of the die-set or windings of the magnetic lock connected to the first channel (upper
punches) when the set-up procedure is performed. The system uses this value to correctly calculate the
electrical resistance value of the windings.
It is also used during regular press operation together with an algorithm to determine the estimated tem-
perature of the die-set and therefore the reference current to be compared to the one actually read.
- Ambient temperature? ( C)
This question is asked only if data item “Thermocouple presence, first current control channel = no”
Set the ambient temperature (press zone) when the set-up procedure is performed. The system uses this
value to correctly calculate the electrical resistance value of the windings.

This question is asked only if data item “Thermocouple presence, third current control channel = no”
Set the temperature of the die-set or windings of the magnetic lock connected to the third channel (lower
punches) when the set-up procedure is performed. The system uses this value to correctly calculate the
electrical resistance value of the windings.

KA501 - 508
8 programmable relays marked KA501 .... KA508 are housed in the electrical control cabinet (not present in PHC).
These data items can be used to determine how and when they are activated.
Select which part is assigned to the relay in column MODE.
Enter the value of the part at which the relay is activated in column ON.
Enter the value of the part at which the relay is deactivated in column OFF.
Examples:
1) To activate relay KA501 when the plunger reaches 10 mm during its downstroke and deactivate it at 100 mm, enter
MODE = 0, ON = 5, OFF = 100.
2) To activate relay KA501 when the linear filler-box reaches 1000 mm during its return stroke and deactivate it at
500 mm, enter MODE = 1, ON = 1000, OFF = 500.
If a filler-box with connecting rod - crank mechanism (DCP) is used, the filler-box position is intended as the value
that starts from 0 reaches 1000 at the end of the forward stroke and returns to 0.
42
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
Example:
1) To activate relay KA501 at half the forward stroke and deactivate it at the end of the forward stroke, enter MODE

Master:
Master d1
D.Ex.Failed
d2
Slave:
The number of ‘retry’ operations and “disconnections” are given for each slave.
Retry refers to the number of times the Profibus master card had to send the pack back to the slave in question (be-
cause it did not arrive correctly): a retry operation does not cause the network to signal an alarm however, after a few
consecutive retries (every 3 consecutive retries on the average) the slave is declared disconnected from the Profibus
Master and the Profibus network signals a fault is present.
In particular, the number of retry operations can be used to point out ongoing problems in the hardware such as wrong
termination resistors, short circuits, voltage fluctuations, etc..
By analyzing the number of retry operations, it is possible to verify if there are problems in the network before the
network signals an alarm. The peak number of retry operations gives a rough indication as to where the problem is
located: the slaves with the highest number of retry operations are generally physically closer to the problem.
Slave d1
Retry = d2
Discon.= d3
d4
d1 = Slave address; the color indicates the status of the Slave (formore information about the status, see the Slave box).
d2 = counter for number of retry operations for each Slave; retry refers to the number of telegrams that master had
to send more than once due to problems in the line.
d3 = counter for number of disconnections for the Slave (each disconnection is accompanied by an alarm that shuts
down the machine).
d4 = description / location of the Slave.

a) The box at the top contains:
the number of cycles completed with the actual die-set while the number of cycles remaining before the die-set is
to be changed is given at the bottom (the life of the die-set is set on the DIE-SET SET-UP page).
b) The times employed to travel the steps included in the filler-box stroke are given in the box on the bottom left side
of the page. These times were measured at the end of the previous cycle. These times are calculated only during
the automatic or semiautomatic loading cycle (with a filler-box with crank-rod mechanism they are also calculated
in manual mode).
The LOADING time expressed in sec. is calculated from when the filler-box starts (excluding any approach strokes)
until the end of the return stroke is reached (only during automatic or semiautomatic loading). If a linear filler-box
or DIP is used, it also includes the wait time at the end of the forward stroke (RETURN DELAY) and the time it
waits for the mobile brush to move down before the filler-box starts, times that are not included in the respective
total times.
NOTE If the time given in an area is 0, it means that the system was not able to execute that area. This happens
for example if the area limit is too close to the filler-box limit switch or if a speed change excessive for the space
set for that area is required. In this case, change the limits of the areas and/or speeds.
If the filler-box for double loading is equipped with the optional mobile grid, the times taken to travel the 3 steps
included in the mobile grid’s stroke are given at the bottom of the box. These times were measured at the end of
the previous cycle.

To go to the “LOADING SET-UP” page from the “PROGRAMS” page press the F3 key (LOAD.).
This page shows the settings related to the press loading cycle.
The top half of the page may appear in one of the following manners:
1) With linear filler-box
The ends of the filler-box movement (END OF FORWARD/RETURN STROKES), expressed in mm and referred
to the encoder BQ2, need to be set.
MIN = safety end stop for the end of the linear filler-box and DIP return stroke. If the encoder falls below this value,
the press shuts down and a message is displayed. It is set in Set Up mode. A value that is at least 20 mm less
than the end of the return stroke should be used.
MAX = safety end stop for the end of the linear filler-box and DIP forward stroke. If the encoder goes over this
value, the press shuts down and a message is displayed. It is also the maximum allowable value that can be set
for the END OF THE FORWARD STROKE.
It is set in Set Up mode. A value that is at least 20 mm higher than the end of the forward stroke should be used.
TIME CONTROL should be set to YES only if a fault message is to be displayed when the time taken to complete
the forward and return strokes exceeds the time set for the FILLER-BOX FORWARD TIME or FILLER-BOX RE-
TURN TIME data items by more than 5%.
Set data item FILL.-BOX APPROACH POSITION to a value greater than the value set for END OF BACK STROKE
if the following cycle is to be selected:
- once the FILL.-BOX APPROACH POS. has been passed during the filler-box return stroke, the trigger pulse
is provided for the plunger to move down. When the filler-box reaches the END OF BACK STROKE position
during the press-stroke, the ALM cycle starts. After the grid has been loaded, the filler-box starts traveling again
at the speed set for APPROACH SPEED until the value set for FILL.-BOX APPROACH POS. is reached.
80
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
When in MAN mode the filler-box travels at a constant speed which equals that set for SPEED IN MANUAL MODE.
FORWARD STOP PRECISION: set the degree to which the linear filler-box has to be precisely positioned at the
forward end-stop.
0% = minimum precision and high reverse speed: this mode assures the maximum press production rate.
100% = maximum precision and low reverse speed: this mode assures maximum reverse value precision.
RETURN DELAY: a time, expressed in ms, for delaying the filler-box return stroke can be set for linear filler-boxes.
The limits of the filler-box steps and its speed when in these zones (5 forward steps and 5 return steps at most)
need to be set. The following are to be set for the forward stroke:
- end of 1st step
- end of 2nd step
- end of 3rd step
- end of 4th step (the end of the 5th forward step corresponds to the end of the forward stroke)
- speed of the 5 forward steps.
The following are to be set for the return stroke:
- end of 1st step
- end of 2nd step
- end of 3rd step
- end of 4th step (the end of the 5th return step corresponds to the end of the return stroke)
- speed of the 5 return steps.
Example of linear filler-box:
end of return stroke = 175 mm, approach value = 430 mm and end of forward stroke = 1185 mm
end of forward step = 520 700 700 1050
forward speed = 35 55 55 85 70
Description:
the filler-box runs at the approach speed from the end of the return stroke to the filler-box approach position
step 1) the filler-box runs at a speed of 35% from the approach position to 520 mm
step 2) the filler-box runs at a speed of 55% from 520 mm to 700 mm
step 3) the filler-box runs at a speed of 85% from 700 mm to 1050 mm
step 4) the filler-box runs at a speed of 70% from 1050 mm to the end of the forward stroke
81
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
Set data item FILL.-BOX APPROACH POSITION to a value greater than the value set for END OF BACK STROKE
if the following cycle is to be selected:
- without ALM: once the FILL.-BOX APPROACH POS. has been passed during the filler-box return stroke, the
trigger pulse is provided for the plunger to move down. Once the filler-box reaches the value set for END OF
RETURN STROKE during the press-cycle, it waits until the APPROACH DELAY TIME has elapsed. After this
time has elapsed the filler-box starts traveling again at the speed set for APPROACH SPEED until the value
set for FILL.-BOX APPROACH POS. is reached.
- with ALM: once the FILL.-BOX APPROACH POS. has been passed during the filler-box return stroke, the trigger
pulse is provided for the plunger to move down. When the filler-box reaches the END OF BACK STROKE posi-
tion during the press-stroke, the ALM cycle starts. After the grid has been loaded, the filler-box starts traveling
again at the speed set for APPROACH SPEED until the value set for FILL.-BOX APPROACH POS. is reached.

When the mode selector is turned to position MAN, the filler-box runs at a steady speed equal to the set for SPEED
IN MANUAL mode.
The limits of the filler-box steps and its speed when in these zones (5 forward steps and 5 return steps at most)
need to be set, in order for the filler-box to operate in automatic or semiautomatic mode.
The following are to be set for the forward stroke:
- end of 1st step
- end of 2nd step
- end of 3rd step
- end of 4th step (the end of the 5th forward step corresponds to the end of the forward stroke)
- speed of the 5 forward steps.
The following are to be set for the return stroke:
- end of 1st step
- end of 2nd step
- end of 3rd step
- end of 4th step (the end of the 5th return step corresponds to the end of the return stroke)
- speed of the 5 return steps.

- enter the same value as the measured one for the THICKNESS CALIBRATION data item;
- enable the automatic thickness gauge by entering a value higher than 0 for THICKNESS CTRL COEFF.
- enter a value which corresponds to the desired thickness for the TILE THICKNESS data item.
NOTE This procedure must be performed whenever the die-set is replaced!
NOTE If a program is called up after the die-set has been replaced, perform this procedure after reading the program!
Automatic thickness control:
- With a SMU/conventional lift mechanism:
If THICKNESS CONTROL PULSE is set to 200 and the press has to perform too many cycles in order to reach
the thickness set for the TILE THICKNESS data item, increase the setting, e.g. to 300.
If the thickness of the tiles produced is not always the same, decrease the value, for example to 100.
- With S.P.E.
Enter a value greater than 0 in THICKNESS CTRL COEFF.
The recommended value is 50%; if the press needs too great a number of cycles to reach the thickness set in
TILE THICKNESS increase the value.
If the thickness is instable, decrease the value.
PLUNGER UP POSITION is the position the plunger reaches when it completes its upward movement during the
automatic cycle. The plunger reaches its mechanical end-stop during the semi-automatic cycle or when the ma-
chine is stopped.
END STOP PRECISION is used to more precisely position the plunger at the value set for PLUNGER UP POSITION.
If Ø is entered, minimum precision is obtained. On the other hand, if 100 is entered, the plunger positioning is
extremely precise while the production output is reduced (because the plunger slows down to a greater extent).
IMPACT POSITION: position of plunger at which braking stops during the downstroke.
PRESSING START POS. when this plunger setting is reached, the 1st press-stroke DELAY TIME starts to elapse.
When the delay time has elapsed, the first press-stroke starts. If the first press-stroke is to stop at the set thick-
ness, enter PRESS-STROKE START THICKNESS, which is the thickness of the soft filling height at which the
first press-stroke should start.
THICKNESS FAULT THRESHOLD: thickness error over which the press shuts down (recommended value = 0.40 mm).
The PLUNGER PARALLELISM data item may appear in some machines. This value, expressed in mm, represents
maximum plunger inclination during the press-cycle.
b) The following are shown in the box at the top right side of the page:
- selection of plunger braking during the first press-stroke: if BRAKING DURING PRESS CYCLE = NO, when
the plunger reaches the value set for the PRESS-STROKE START POS. YV32 opens during the downstroke to
reboot the plunger, vice versa opening of end of braking is maintained throughout the entire first press-stroke;
- plunger downstroke speed to reach IMPACT POSITION;
- selection of braking during upstroke setting: if enabled, braking starts when the plunger is on the tile and ends
when the plunger has traveled the distance set for BRAKING DISTANCE DURING UPSTROKE.
In addition, set the plunger speed in the area where the brake is applied, expressed in mm/s or % to which
proportional solenoid valve YV32 opens (to change the type of setting, see par. 8.2.4).
Only for presses with proportional hydraulic and braking during plunger upstroke enabled (BRAKING DUR.
UPSTROKE = YES), if UPSTROKE SPEED BRAKE is set to a value ranging from 18 to 49 mm/s (these values
may differ slightly from the ones indicated) it is possible to set the way in which upstroke with braking takes
place:
if BOOSTER FREE UPSTROKE = YES it takes place with the booster’s free upstroke (YV38 activated);
if BOOSTER FREE UPSTROKE = NO it takes place while the booster is moving up at a speed limited by a
logic element (YV38 deactivated).
96
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
- UPSTROKE HELP STROKE (only with hydraulic unit for “plunger lightening “): if this value is different from
zero, it represents the plunger upstroke with the help activated (it is lower than the upstroke with brake applied)
if upstroke with braking is enabled.
TOLERANCE: enter the tolerance for the pressure of the last press-stroke to the right of the symbol ±. If zero is
entered for the tolerance, the last press-stroke will finish when the final pressure is reached. If, on the other
hand, the tolerance is ≥ 5 bar, the last press-stroke will finish when the tile thickness is reached - as long as
the pressure is between “final pressure - tolerance” and final pressure + tolerance” (see figure 1).
PRECISION: the final precision during the last press-stroke can be set in some machines: 100% equals maximum
precision but causes the cycle to slow down slightly; 0% equals minimum precision but maximum production
speed.
NO. OF PRELIMINARY CYCLES: the number of strokes performed whenever the cycle is started can be set. En-
ter “0” to disable this function. The maximum value that can be entered is 100 cycles. During these cycles the
press performs the number of press-strokes set for data item “NUMBER OF PRESS-STROKES” found on the
line below “NO. OF PRELIMINARY CYCLES”. Once these cycles have been completed, the press automati-
cally goes back to the number of cycles set for data item “NUMBER OF PRESS-STROKES” found over “NO.
OF PRELIMINARY CYCLES”.
Option DECOMPRESSION WITH BOOSTER allows the cylinder to be decompressed by the external booster to
recover part of the stroke used during the previous press-stroke. The number of press-strokes per cycle should
be more than 2.
c) Press-cycle:
The press-stroke parameters are entered here.
PRESS-STROKE MODE : (0 = to thickness, 1 = to pressure, 2 = to set time) this data item can only be set when
the machine is in SET-UP mode; type 0 can only be used for the first press-stroke. Type 0: the press-stroke
finishes when the soft filling height set in the TH/PR column is reached. Type 1: the press-stroke finishes when
the cylinder pressure has reached the setting in the TH/PR column. Type 2: the press-stroke finishes after a
time controlled by the control system, in order to obtain cylinder pressure equal to the setting in the TH/PR
column, has elapsed.
PRESS-STROKE TREND: S1/P1 = thickness/pressure at the first point on the line shown on the graph
T1 = first time at which the pressure, as shown on the line, reaches value S1/P1.
T2 = total length of pressure trend.
Example 1 (see figure 2): 1st press-stroke set to type 0 with THICKNESS AT START OF PRESS-STROKE =
15.00, TH/PR = 12.00, S1/P1 = 13.00, T1 = 2000, T2 = 3000. This means that the press-stroke starts when the
soft filling height reaches 15 mm. The press will adjust YV318 in order to reach a soft filling height of 13 mm in
2 seconds and then 12 mm in the next second.
Example 2 (see figure 3): last press-stroke set to type 1 with FINAL PRESSURE = 250 bar, S1/P1 = 125, T1 =
2000, T2 = 3000. This means that the press will adjust YV318 in order to reach a cylinder pressure of 125 bar
in 2 seconds and then 250 bar in the next second.
- PSM = Used to select if the press-stroke is performed without the booster (in this case, the solenoid valve for
the direct press-stroke is used).
97
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
PRESS-STROKE SPEED: this is the extent to which YV318 opens during the press-stroke, expressed as a per-
centage. YV318 controls the delivery rate to the press-cycle control assembly.
d) The data items regarding deaeration should be set in the right-hand block.
DEAERATION block:
MOTION UPSTROKE: the speed for the deaeration upstroke should be entered here. Enter Ø to perform the up-
stroke at a slow constant speed (through YV31S), enter 100 to perform a fast upstroke (through YV32).

- enable the automatic thickness gauge by entering a value higher than 0 for THICKNESS CTRL COEFF (THICK-
NESS CONTROL PULSE for SMU or lifting).
- enter a value which corresponds to the desired thickness for the TILE THICKNESS data item.
NOTE This procedure must be performed whenever the die-set is replaced!
101
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
NOTE If a program is called up after the die-set has been replaced, perform this procedure after reading the program!
Automatic thickness control:
- With a SMU/conventional lift mechanism:
If THICKNESS CONTROL PULSE is set to 200 and the press has to perform too many cycles in order to reach
the thickness set for the TILE THICKNESS data item, increase the setting, e.g. to 300.
If the thickness of the tiles produced is not always the same, decrease the value, for example to 100.
- With S.P.E.
Enter a value greater than 0 in THICKNESS CTRL COEFF.
The recommended value is 50%; if the press needs too great a number of cycles to reach the thickness set in
TILE THICKNESS increase the value.
If the thickness is instable, decrease the value.
PLUNGER UP POSITION is the position the plunger reaches when it completes its upward movement during the
automatic cycle. The plunger reaches its mechanical end-stop during the semi-automatic cycle or when the
machine is stopped.
IMPACT POSITION: position of plunger at which braking stops during the downstroke.
DELAY BEFORE FIRST PRESS-STROKE (in presses with piloted de-aeration the delay time prior to the second
press-stroke/next ones is also set).
THICKNESS FAULT THRESHOLD: thickness error over which the press shuts down (recommended value = 0.40
mm).
The PLUNGER PARALLELISM data item may appear in some machines. This value, expressed in mm, represents
maximum plunger inclination during the press-cycle.
b) The following are shown in the box at the top right side of the page:
- plunger braking during the first press-stroke;
- braking space for the last part of the plunger downstroke;
- speed control when the plunger is moving down and relative speed at the IMPACT POSITION.
- selection of braking during upstroke setting: if enabled, braking starts when the plunger is on the tile and ends
when the plunger has traveled the distance set for BRAKING DISTANCE DURING UPSTROKE.
- Upstroke help stroke (only with hydraulic unit for “plunger lightening “): if this value is different from zero, it rep-
resents the plunger upstroke with the help activated (it is lower than the upstroke with brake applied) if upstroke
with braking is enabled.
- FINAL PRESSURE: set the pressure for the last press-stroke;
- number of press-strokes per cycle;
- NO. OF PRELIMINARY CYCLES: the number of strokes performed whenever the cycle is started can be set.
Enter “0” to disable this function. The maximum value that can be entered is 100 cycles. During these cycles
the press performs the number of press-strokes set for data item “NUMBER OF PRESS-STROKES” found on
the line below “NO. OF PRELIMINARY CYCLES”. Once these cycles have been completed, the press auto-
matically goes back to the number of cycles set for data item “NUMBER OF PRESS-STROKES” found over
“NO. OF PRELIMINARY CYCLES”.
c) Press-cycle:
The press-stroke parameters are set here:
- pressure during each intermediate press-stroke (PRES.)
- whether the press-stroke is carried out without accumulators (SEPARATE)
- whether the press-stroke is carried out without the booster (in this case, the solenoid valve for the direct press-
stroke is used (PSM).

c) Two data elements regarding the upper and lower die-sets are given in the MAGNETIC LOCK window. Enter YES
if the press is equipped with a magnetic lock. There are 2 other data items for releasing the die-set lock. Enter
YES before releasing the die-set’s magnetic lock.
If the press is equipped with a magnetic lock enter UPPER = YES and LOWER = YES.
Magnetization procedure: with the key switch turned to SET UP press the “magnetization” keys (see DESCRIPTION

(AJ1 and AJ2) (see the INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING ELECTRIC DEVICES manual) and turn the key switch
to MAN.
Demagnetizing procedure: with the key switch turned to SET UP set UPPER DEMAGNETIZATION = YES and
LOWER DEMAGNETIZATION = YES. Press the related keys (see DESCRIPTION OF KEYS paragraph) and make
sure the related leds go out (they flash for more than a minute).
To release a magnetic lock, first demagnetize it and then set UPPER = NO (or LOWER = NO).
Two data elements LOWER PUNCH HOLDER that regard the magnetic locks for the lower punch holders (optional)
may appear at the bottom of the window.
If the magnetic lock control card (CFM) is used, press F7 to view all the other data regarding the magnetic lock.
DIE-SET TYPE: enter - 1 if an SFS upper die-set is used, 0 if the lower die is fixed and 1 if a mobile lower die is
employed.
PUNCHES IN: enter 1 to move the upper punches back in when the filler-box starts, 2 to move them in when the
filler-box is at the end of its forward-stroke and 3 to move them in when the filler-box is at the end of its return
stroke.
SFS STOPPED (SFS SHUTDOWN): if an SFS is used (double action) this data item enables SFS shutdown when
raised so that it acts as return punches.
4 SENSORS: if an SFS is used, this data item enables control of the outside punches with 4 sensors (2 series
connected pairs) instead of the 2 sensors traditionally used (1 series connected pair).
WAIT LOWER DIE (WAIT LOWER DIE-SET): YES to enable the “die block/release” cycle in which the mobile
lower die is blocked when down at the end of the press-cycle the lower punches move up after the plunger has
moved up a stroke equal to PLUNGER TRAVEL, DIE-SETS UP (DIE-SET UPSTROKE PLUNGER STROKE).
When the plunger has traveled the PLUNGER TRAVEL, DIE-SETS UP (DIE-SET UPSTROKE PLUNGER
STROKE) + DIFFERENCE DIE UPWARD VALUE (DIE UPSTROKE VALUE DIFFERENCE) the lower die is
released (through YV298), which moves all the way up, activating sensors SQ63A/B. If it takes the die a long
time, the command can be advanced in relation to the knockout by setting a negative value for DIFFERENCE
DIE UPWARD VALUE (DIE UPSTROKE VALUE DIFFERENCE).
If an SFS or mobile lower die is used, it is possible to set independently during each de-aeration if the lower
die needs to be blocked by setting DIE STOPPED = YES; enter NO to allow the lower die to move.

e) Regarding DIE-SET BLOWING it is possible to set the stages during which the solenoid valve die-set blowing
(YV173) is activated:
DURING PRESS-CYCLE:
0 = blower solenoid valve YV173 is not energized during the press-strokes
-1 = the blower operates during the press-strokes but not during de-aeration. Data item POS. OFF needs to
be set: if a value equal to the maximum plunger stroke is entered, the blower does not operate during the
plunger upstroke; if a value lower than the maximum plunger stroke is entered, the blower restarts when
the plunger begins the upstroke and stops when plunger encoder BQ6 reaches the set value.
1 = according to time: it starts at the beginning of the first press-stroke and stops after the time set for “LENGTH”
(in seconds) has elapsed.
If the time set is very long, the blower will stop in any case at the end of the filler-box forward stroke.
POS. OFF:
Set the value of the plunger encoder at which die-set blowing (YV173) stops during the upstroke; enter the maxi-
mum value to disable the blower during the plunger upstroke.
Enter blowing of the SFS pusher to clean the mobile die (YV178) on the underlying line: it is energized during the
plunger downstroke at the value set for ON POS. and is deactivated at the value set for OFF POS.
If a linear filler-box is used, data item DOUBLE-ROW BLOWER: if a value greater than 0 is entered, YV175 is
energized when the filler-box starts running and is de-energized once the filler-box has exceeded the set value
during the forward stroke.
The two items given have been added to window DIE-SET BLOWING in the PH4600:
NO. OF CYCL. and LENGTH: these regard YV174 (base blowing): it is energized for two seconds whenever the
automatic cycle is started and periodically every n cycles where n = NUMBER OF CYCLES for the time set for
LENGTH.

All the data items regarding the die set heater are given on this page: both the die-set temperatures and the set values.
Box DIE-SET TEMPERATURES has a line for each area the die-set heater is divided into.
• SYMBOL (ID NO.) - the number of the thermocouple that read the temperature is given to the right.
• CONNECTED TO: - indicates the part of the die-set connected to the thermocouple: for example if 1 is set in col-
umn PHS, it means that the thermocouple is connected to the upper punches.
• SET - temperature set for the particular heater. If set to 0 the heater in that area is disabled. As soon as a tem-
perature different from zero is set, the heater is enabled as long as the mode selector is not turned to SET-UP.
• OUTPUT - If a red dot lights up it means that the heater in that area is on.
• OUTPUT HEAT-UP TIME (ON TIME) - indicates the percentage of time in which the heater in that area is on.
More precisely, it is the time the heater is on (i.e. red light in OUTPUT) divided by the time in which the heater was
enabled to work (i.e. key turned to MAN or AUT, SET higher than 0, no faults).
To reset these data items, reset the statistics as directed in chapter STATISTICS PAGES (all the charts are suitable
except foe the CHARTS SHOWING NUMBER OF STOPS OR DOWNTIMES).

Press F7 on the die-set set-up page to access this page that contains all the data regarding the magnetic lock only if
the magnetic lock control card (CFM) is present.
The following items can be set for each group of electromagnetic locks marked AJ1 / AJ2 / AJ3:
THERMOCOUPLE PRES.
- Thermocouple presence, first current control channel (yes/no)
To more accurately control the magnetic lock’s current value, the operating temperature of the windings has to
be taken into consideration. In fact, the current is affected by the winding’s resistance value and therefore the
temperature.
It is possible to select if the thermocouple that reads the temperature of the upper punch (BT5) is to be as-
sociated to the first channel of the magnetic lock’s current control system. “YES” should be selected only if the
first current control channel measures the current value of the upper punch’s magnetic lock, as shown in the
machine’s original wiring diagram. If the thermocouple is not in a position in which it can efficiently read the
temperature of the upper magnetic lock’s windings, enter “NO”.
If “NO” is selected, the system does not take into consideration the temperature read by the thermocouple. In
fact, in order to effectively control the current value it simulates how the winding heats up over time accord-
ing to a set theoretical algorithm. If the type of operation is changed, i.e. this data item is modified, the set-up
procedure for the first channel has to be carried out (see the special operations page).

MOBILE ALM
When this is selected, the grid is loaded through ALM movement when the filler-box is at a standstill at the end of its
return stroke.
The following items need to be set in the ALM box:
• Type of ALM cycle = Ø i.e. MOBILE ALM
• Double row die-set loading set-up
• Delay time for starting loading
• End of BACK and FORWARD strokes
• MAX = highest allowable setting for BACK STROKE END ST (END OF RETURN STROKE), i.e. the maximum
stroke the ALM can perform. It is set in Set Up mode.
• ALM gate closing position and (with double-row loading) next re-opening and closing
• Speed in manual mode and travel out of the zones and during the ALM return stroke
• Speed percentage in the five zones (the zone is divided into 5 parts included from the end of the return stroke and
first closing value and the zone included between the second opening value and second closing value)

d) The INSIDE (INTERNAL) synchronizer allows the press to be run at the set speed (CYCLES PER MINUTE). The
second value in CYCLES PER MINUTE permits the strokes of the press to be “halved” with synchronized opera-
tion. Example: the press operates at 12 cycles/minute in synchronous mode. If the input which controls internal
synch.(KA301) is activated, the press will operate at a rate of 6 cycles/minute.
Several speed levels can be obtained using a second digital input (KA301A):
If set to INSIDE SYNCHRONIZATION = NO:
1. If KA301 = OFF and KA301A = OFF ==>
the press is asynchronous (at max. allowable speed)
2. If KA301 = ON and KA301A = OFF ==>
the press is synchronized with number of cycles = first value set for CYCLES PER MINUTE (at intermedi-
ate speed)
3. If KA301 = OFF and KA301A = ON ==>
the press is synchronized with number of cycles = first value set for CYCLES PER MINUTE (at intermedi-
ate speed)
4. Se KA301 = ON e KA301A = ON ==>
the press is synchronized with number of cycles = second value set for CYCLES PER MINUTE (at low
speed)
If set to INSIDE SYNCHRONIZATION = YES:
1. If KA301 = OFF ==>
the press is synchronized with number of cycles = first value set for CYCLES PER MINUTE (at intermedi-
ate speed)
2. If KA301 = ON ==>
the press is synchronized with number of cycles = second value set for CYCLES PER MINUTE (at low speed)
The OUTER (EXTERNAL) synchronizer allows the press to be timed with an external device.
e) If Enea cooling (optional) is provided, the additional heat exchanger or cooling fans can be enabled or disabled.

PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
It is a safety PLC with 20 inputs (I0-I19), 2 signal outputs (O4-O5) and 4 safety outputs (O0-01-02-03).
The installed software adequately governs the inputs and outputs to prevent dangerous machine devices from operating.
The 2 signal outputs (O4 and O5) tell the machine P.C. inputs AJ100 e AJ101) the status of the safety outputs (O0-01-
02-03) taking into consideration the state of the feedbacks of contactors KA100-KA101 (input I17) and KA102-KA103
(input I18) which the safety outputs control.
Outputs ON = safety outputs ON and relative contactors ON (i.e. feedback inputs OFF)
Description of operation:
The device is rearmed at the falling edge of the reset signal (input I16). Outputs O0 and O1 are reset at the first reset
pulse while outputs O2 and O3 are reset at the second pulse.
If the outputs are not reset and the led indicators do not signal malfunctions it means that the inputs are not able to
reset the device (example: emergency stop button pressed or guard opened)
The system does not need the reset signal to go back to manual/automatic mode from set-up.
The system makes a number of checks at the inputs of the safety devices (emergency stop buttons, microcontacts,
etc...):
- the poles must not be reversed, the voltages supplied by the device (terminals T0-T1-T2-T3) should be con-
nected to the inputs observing the poles given in the drawing.
(I fault signal)
- if two inputs for the same safety device are short circuited, the system detects the problem
(I fault signal).
- (I fault signal).the system checks if inputs for the same device switch from off to on and vice versa simultane-
ously, the maximum allowable time is approximately 3 sec.
This check is disabled for inputs I4 and I5 (SQ66/66A). (I fault signal)
The device resets the safety outputs only if the feedback of the contactors (KA100-101 and KA102-103) are ON (i.e.
contactors OFF). When the system is reset, the inputs of the feedbacks must switch OFF (i.e. contactors ON) (O fault
signal) within approximately 1 sec.
Outputs O0 and O1 → feedback KA100-KA101 (I17)
Outputs O2 and O3 → feedback KA102-KA103 (I18)
In addition, the device resets safety outputs O0-O1 and O2-O3 only if the contactors that feed the filler-box are OFF
(input I19 ON). As regards outputs O0–O1, this is not required when the filler-box is not present, I4 and I5 (SQ66-
SQ66A) OFF.

This fault message is displayed just before the power to the electrical cabinet is cut off. This happens because
a fault has been detected in one of the die-set heaters (“n” indicates the heater which is malfunctioning):
- output KMn of the relay output module is off and the corresponding input KMn of the digital input module
is on (for example a contact is stuck);
- the temperature measured by thermocouple BTn is higher than 75°C.
In all these cases, the pumps are stopped after 5 minutes and then power to the electrical cabinet is cut off.
Check thermocouple BTn, the analog input module and the related leads/connectors. In the first case, check
the relay output module, contactor KMn, feedback relay KAn in the electrical cabinet and the digital input

If this is not possible, decrease the value set for “Synch efficiency dur. forw. stroke”.
When the downstroke begins with the key turned to MAN or AUT and the knockout at a value greater than 2
mm, card AXP detects that the previous SPE movement was not completed. Verify that there is not exces-
sive friction that prevents regular movement of the die-set.
SE with rods:
If a proportional knockout with rods is used, perform the YV21p offset self-learning procedure (see DE-
SCRIPTION OF THE KEYS).
The fault is in the card that controls movement of the proportional knockout.

When YV20S is activated to move the filler-box, input SQ20S must be off while when YV20S
is deactivated to stop the filler-box, input SQ20S must be on. Check the digital input card for
SQ20S, the digital output card for YV20S and related connections.
(YV20S) Check solenoid valve YV20S and its monitoring device (SQ20S) for proper functioning.
Check operation of solenoid valve YV20S. When YV20S is deactivated to stop the filler-box,
the filler-box actually continues operating which is why YV20S is blocked when open or check
the digital output card for YV20S and its connections.
(YV20) Check solenoid valve YV20S and its monitoring device (SQ20S) for proper functioning.
Check operation of proportional solenoid valve YV20. The fault message may be displayed if:
before the filler-box starts moving, the spool signals an opening greater than 20% or:
if the movement is not completed within 10 sec. at most, the spool signals the opening is 20%
smaller than the expected one.
Check the analog input card for YV20 spool, the analog output card for YV20 and the related
connections.
The filler-box is not in the correct position while the mobile grid is moving.

If the filler-box is not manufactured by SACMI, this fault message may mean that the filler-box’s safety
guards have been opened.
With single PNOZmulti device:
Input AJ101 is not present even if the inputs for the relative safety devices (mode selector – guide limit
switches– etc.) are OK. This input corresponds to output O5 of module AJ100 that indicates the status of
the outputs (O2 and O3) regarding the machine safety devices. Press the reset key.If the message is still
displayed, check safety module AJ100 (see the chapter that describes operation of device PNOZmulti).
The value of one or both die-set encoders has exceeded the Upper End Stop (FCA) setting by more than
0.5 mm or has fallen below it by more than 1 mm during the filler-box forward stroke (up until the first down-
stroke). When a proportional rod lift system is used, the value read by encoder BQ4A for the proportional
knockout is given in parenthesis.
Refer to fault message 2037 for trouble-shooting instructions.
2075 SAFETY GUARD LIMIT SWITCHES, PRESS-CYCLE ZONE (SQ11ABCD) (filler-box shutdown)
The alarm is displayed only if the two digital inputs of the safety guards in the press-cycle zone are different:
SQ11AB high indicates that both safety guards are open, whereas
SQ11CD low indicates that both safety guards are in work position (closed).
Digital inputs SQ59 and KA302 failed to change-over within 30 sec. from the moment in which the start signal
was sent to the filler-box from contact KA20A (when the filler-box begins to move, led KA302 should go out).
Make sure the start signal from KA20A (ON = filler-box start) reaches the filler-box controller. In addition,
check contactors KA102/102A, KA103/103A, relay KA20A and the leads/connectors for the relative press/
filler-box.
Make sure the digital input cards receive the filler-box forward/back signals from SQ59 and the signals for
the plunger downstroke from KA302. In addition, check contactor KA59 and the leads/connectors for the
relative press/filler-box.
One of the following numbers may appear to the right of the message.
(1): during the filler-box forward stroke / plunger upstroke, the front end of the filler-box was too close to
the plunger / upper die-set.
If the problem occasionally occurs, make sure the press-cycle / plunger drive cycle is correctly repeated.
To do this, keep the total press-cycle time (displayed on the PRESS-CYCLE DISPLAY page) under
control; if the time is constant after each and every cycle (i.e. the difference between two consecutive
cycles is less than 100 ms) and a much longer cycle suddenly takes place, this fault message may be
displayed.
In this case, trace the problems that prevent the press-cycle from being correctly repeated and remedy.
If this cannot be done, try one of the following solutions:
A) if the filler-box approach stroke is performed, reduce its speed: decrease the value set for data item
‘Max. approach speed’ given on the axes timing page (see the Use of axes timing manual);
B) if the filler-box approach stroke is performed, disable the approach stroke (set ‘Approach value'
= 0) and increase the ‘Maximum pre-impact speed’ on the axes timing page (see the Use of axes
timing manual);
C) reduce synchronism efficiency during the forward stroke on the axes timing page (see the Use of
axes timing manual), even if the machine speed is negatively affected.

(2): When the cycle started, the system discovered the axis synchronization data were not correctly set.
More precisely, the difference between “plunger encoder at edge of die when up” and “PLUNGER UP”
is less than value H2. Check the settings for “A”, “H2” and “PLUNGER UP” (see the axis synchroniza-
tion manual).
(3): The linear filler-box has gone beyond the safety position (set for SAFETY FILL-BOX SETTING on
the LOADING CYCLE SET-UP PAGE) and the plunger is lower than the value set for PLUNGER UP
POS. (PRESS-CYCLE SET-UP page). Decrease the value set for FILL-BOX START ADVANCE.
If the trouble persists, decrease the value set for PLUNGER UP POS. or modify TOP LIMIT SWITCH
ACCUR.
Signal KA410 was de-energized while the filler-box for double loading was carrying out its stroke for one of
the following reasons:
the plunger has moved down more than 2.5 mm in relation to the position it should be in when fully raised.
the lower die has moved down (SQ63 de-energized).
Digital input U24 has not come on within 300 msecs. of the KM24A signal being sent.

If the ALM does not reach the setting for the end of the backstroke within 25 seconds:
Check ALM encoder BQ10 and the leads/connectors.
Check contactor KM23A and the OR output card (when the ALM moves near the press, led KM23A should
be on) and the leads/connectors.
Either a reset cycle or a semiautomatic loading cycle is in progress but the ALM encoder has not been zero
set. To zero set, see page AXES RESET.
If the ALM has to be moved back in manual mode or be reset, move the filler-box fully back before carrying
out the operation.

With the fixed ALM, the value read by the ALM encoder BQ10 differs from the rear end-stop value by more
than 20 mm.
Check encoder BQ10 and the leads/connectors.
The ALM has not reached the rear end-stop position within 25 seconds during a manual operation or while
being reset.
Try increasing the ALM speed.
The cycle has been interrupted because the ALM repositioning time is too long.
Increase the ALM repositioning speed.
After movement of the ACP, the value of encoder ACP (BQ21) failed to change after 0.75 sec. Check opera-
tion of the encoder.
Check the analog output card for U21, relay output card for KM21A and KM21B (when the ACP has to move,
one of outputs KM21A/KM21B should be on), relays KA21A/KA21B, inverter U21, motor M21 as well as
the cables/connectors.
The position of the ALM during the filler-box return stroke, with the filler-box nearly at the end of the back-
stroke, is not correct.
The encoder was not zeroed within 25 seconds while the ALM was being operated in manual mode or was
being reset.
Try increasing the ALM speed, check encoder BQ10 and the leads/connectors.
After movement of the ALM, the value of encoder ALM (BQ10) failed to change after 0.75 sec.

inverter U23, motor M23 as well as the cables/connectors.
With the pump running, mode selector SA9 in the manual or automatic position and safety modules AJ100
and AJ101 in operating mode, digital input U24 is off.
Make sure inverter U24 is able to work. Check digital input card U24 (when inverter U24 is able to work,
digital input U24/KM22AB should be on) and the leads/connectors.

The pressure measured by transducer BP1 before the plunger begins its downstroke is more than 10 bar.
Check pressure transducer BP1 and the leads/connectors.
In presses with external booster, the pressure in the cylinder was over 10 bar before the booster was re-
positioned.

in manual mode.
If the plunger encoder value does not reach the IMPACT POS. - BRAKING SPACE setting (both data items
can be set) within 8 seconds in automatic mode.
Check that the setting for IMPACT POS. can be reached.
In presses that are not proportional check solenoid valve YV32D and related hydraulic lines for proper op-
eration, inspect the plunger encoder and make sure it is securely mounted and check the leads/connectors.
In proportional presses, check proportional solenoid valve YV32, solenoid valve YV303 and potentiometer
card AP32.
This message may be displayed because the press has started an upward movement when a signal for
downward motion has been provided. In this case, replace YV32 and/or the analog output card (YV32S or
YV32D for presses that are not “proportional”).
In proportional hydraulic presses, if the message appears when the YV32/YV318 self-learning or repositioning
procedures start, check YV303 and relative logic element (the plunger moves down with YV303 deactivated).
In presses with proportional hydraulic system, this message may indicate that the speed at which the plunger
came into contact with the power was too high (more than 60 mm/s compared to the set impact speed).
The plunger encoder value does not reach the setting for IMPACT POS. while the plunger is moving down.
The plunger encoder value does not reach the setting for PLUNGER UP while the plunger is moving up.
Check that the setting for IMPACT POS. can be reached.
Check solenoid valves YV32D and YV32S and related hydraulic lines for proper operation. Also check the
plunger encoder and make sure it is securely mounted. Check the leads/connectors.
In proportional presses, check solenoid valve YV303 and proportional solenoid valve YV32.
If it happens during the upstroke in proportional presses, decrease the value set for END OF UPSTROKE
PRECISION.
In the case of PHs with ejection with upper die, the cylinder pressure did not fall to the value set in FINAL
DECOMPRESSION PRESSURE within the time out (3 sec) at the end of the final cylinder press stroke in

The die-set is not down when the plunger begins its downstroke.
When the SMU/lift system is used, proximity switch SQ6 is inactivated or SQ3 is activated.
Check proximity switch SQ6, the input card (Led SQ6 must be on when the die-sets are down) and the
leads/connectors. Do the same for SQ3.
The same fault message will appear on the display when the filler-box is moved manually and the PRO-
PORTIONAL KNOCKOUT is 0.4 mm higher than the set value.
In this case move the die-set manually so as to bring it into the correct position.
The filler-box is not all the way back when the plunger begins to move down. Check the filler-box encoder set-
ting which should be lower than the REAR LIMIT SWITCH. Try increasing the REAR LIMIT SWITCH setting.
The filler-box is not all the way back when the plunger begins to move down (with axis synchronization
enabled, the check is performed at the beginning of the last press-stroke).
Check sensor SQ59, its mount, the input card and the leads/connectors.
When the plunger begins its downstroke the trigger pulse from the double loading filler-box is not provided.
Check the signal for plunger downstroke KA302, its lock, the input card (Led KA302 must be on when the
double loading filler-box is fully back) and the leads/connectors.
In manual mode: the manual upstroke keys have been kept pressed for more than 8 seconds.
In automatic mode: if upstroke with braking has been selected and plunger encoder has not reached the
“end of braking during upstroke” setting. Check that the setting for END OF BRAK., UPSTR. can be reached.
In presses that are not proportional, check operation of solenoid valves YV32S and YV47 and related hy-
draulic lines for proper functioning. Check the plunger encoder, its mount and the leads/connectors.
In proportional presses, check proportional solenoid valve YV32, YV303 and potentiometer card AP32.
This message may be displayed because the press has started an downward movement when a signal for
upward motion has been provided. In this case, replace YV32 (YV32D or YV32S for presses that are not
“proportional”). From when the signal to start the plunger upstroke was provided a half a second passed
and the plunger has moved up less than 0.50 mm. This may be caused by YV32 malfunctioning (YV32S in
presses that are not proportional). As an alternative, the die-set may have jammed during the press-cycle
and the plunger upstroke was stopped to avoid ripping out the upper die-set screws.
In presses with proportional hydraulic system, if the fault message is displayed when repositioning starts,
YV32/YV318 self-learning starts or when the automatic cycle is stopping at the end of the plunger upstroke,
check operation of YV303 and the relative logic element (plunger moved up with YV303 de-energized).
Zero set the plunger encoder (see set up page). The causes may be:
If just one encoder is installed: with the safety guards of the pressing zone open, the encoder value is < - 8 mm.
If 2 or 3 encoders are installed: the difference between the relative values of the two encoders is > 5 mm.
YV31D (slow downstroke) was activated when plunger repositioning started and the encoder failed to count.
Check the plunger encoder, its lock and the leads/connectors.

One of the following numbers may appear to the right of the message:
(1): during the filler-box return stroke/plunger downstroke, the upper punches were too close to the mobile
part of the filler-box. Try reducing the set efficiency during the return stroke.
(2): the plunger downstroke enable signal was not received from the axis synchronization controller. Check
the set axis synchronization data. If no problems are found, try reducing the value set for “sync. efficiency
dur. return”.
(3): the plunger has started its downstroke (encoder BQ6 has detected downward movement greater than
1 mm) but the filler-box is still in the way of the plunger. Try speeding up the filler-box return stroke. As an
alternative, try reducing the value set for “sync. efficiency dur. return”.

The detected value is the difference between encoders BQ6 and BQ7.
The pair of encoders that detected the difference is indicated to the right:
e.g. BQ6-7 indicates that the difference was detected between encoders BQ6 and BQ7. In addition, when
a positive value is given for the left value it means that the plunger has moved further down on side BQ6
whereas a negative value indicates the plunger has moved down more on side BQ7.
With the oil temperature higher than 30°C, digital input SP7 has stayed off.
Replace the filter of the control line of proportional solenoid valves YV32 and YV318 as it is clogged. If the

A problem has been detected while cleaning proportional solenoid valves YV32/YV318/YV70D. Parameter
n identifies the type of problem:
1) Pressure in cylinder over 10 bar.
2) Plunger moved down (encoder BQ6 has exceeded 5 mm).
3) Mode selector not turned to position MAN or filler-box back sensor (SQ59) no longer triggered, or the
machine is no longer in a safe condition (AJ101 off) as the safety guards in the press-cycle zone are
open, the filler-box is disconnected or the roller conveyor in front of the press is not connected.
6) External booster moved more than 10 mm.
7) The filler-box has shifted while valve YV20 was being cleaned.
8) See parameter 3.
PCH: the accumulator pressure measured by pressure transducer BP3 is more than 30 bar higher than the
required pressure. The plunger is blocked.
When a signal is provided for the wedges to come out (solenoid valve YV313 energized), they failed to come
out within a 3 s timeout as input SQ12AB is high (i.e. at least 1 wedge is not out).
As an alternative, the wedges failed to come out when the slow plunger downstroke was started from the
keyboard in SET-UP mode as input SQ12AB is high (i.e. at least 1 wedge is not out).
NOTE Input SQ12AB is parallel with SQ12A (microswitch on right wedge/hook) and SQ12B (microswitch
on left wedge/hook).
The microswitches should be triggered when the wedges/hooks are in their work position, i.e. completely out.
As soon as the wedge/hook is no longer completely out, the microswitch should not be triggered any more.
When a signal is provided for the wedges to retract (solenoid valve YV313 de-energized), they failed to
retract within a 3 s timeout as input SQ12CD is low (i.e. at least 1 wedge is not in).
NOTE Input SQ12CD is in series with SQ12C (microswitch on right wedge/hook) and SQ12D (microswitch
on left wedge/hook).
A fault arose during the reset procedure for the external flow/pressure booster. The booster was not reset
after reaching its mechanical end-stop.
If “(YV103)” appears it means the external flow/pressure booster failed to complete half its upstroke during
the repositioning stage. If parameter (YV103) does not appear it means the booster has moved up more
than 40 mm during the direct press stroke.
If “(YV102)” appears it means the external flow/pressure booster failed to complete half its downstroke dur-
ing the repositioning stage. If parameter (YV102) does not appear it means the booster has moved down
more than 40 mm during the direct press stroke.

The pressure inside the pad (BP204) is checked at the end of the first press-stroke. For piston pads, this is
the pressure detected by BP204 pressure transducer. For general pads, it is detected by BP203 pressure
transducer. If it is higher than 3 bar, the cylinder is kept at the first press-stroke pressure as long as the
pressure in the pad does not fall below 4 bar. As a result, the pad pistons surely move all the way down
(this procedure is performed whenever the cycle starts and the oil is changed). If it stays below 4 bar for 20
sec, a fault is signaled.

The tile just pressed may not be completely removed from the pressing zone (front roller conveyor at standstill
due to its own problems, because the drier has shutdown or the DIP ejector is not long enough).
This check prevents the tile from being pressed between the lower and upper die during the next cycle.
To prevent this from happening, the system has two overruns that see that the tile is completely ejected
even when the front roller conveyor is stopped.
188
PH 283.85.066 Rev. 02 Date 12.11.2013
The first system, enabled by setting overrun during cycle > 0, sees that the set overrun cycle is carried out
each cycle.In this case, the problem cannot arise therefore this check is disabled.
The second system, enabled by setting overrun during stoppage > 0, sees that the set overrun cycle is per-
formed only if there was an external shutdown (KA300 OFF) during the forward stroke. This overrun cycle
assures the tile is completely ejected while the overrun time is not loaded during each cycle. If the outer
shutdown occurs when the DIP is already at a standstill at the end of the forward stroke or when the return
stroke has just started, the system will shutdown as it is no longer possible to perform the overrun cycle.
The tile may not have left the pressing zone.
The control therefore is active only if overrun during stoppage > 0 is set.
Normally, simply remove the tile and restart the line.
This fault message is displayed when the filler-box reaches the collision safety position (set on the filler-box
page) while performing the forward stroke before KA410 came on (press plunger full up).
If a time for starting the filler-box in advance has been set, make sure it is no too long causing the filler-box to
reach the safety position before the plunger has reached the limit switch for the end of the upward movement.
Obviously, the collision safety position should be correct set, if it is too close to the limit switch for the end
of the return stroke, the message may be displayed.
BQ30 or BQ2030
This fault message is displayed if the DIP reaches position outside the limits of the allowable stroke.
These limits can be set only by operators who have the enabled password.
Check the limits. If they are not correct, make the necessary corrections (the minimum one must be at least
10 mm less than the end of the return stroke while the maximum one should be greater than the end of the
forward stroke + an overrun that is at least 10 mm). If the settings are correct, make sure the part is able to
move in a trouble-free manner and above all that encoder BQ30 reads the position correctly.
SQ2030A
The DIP has moved fully forwards activating sensor SQ2030A. If this is not the case, check the efficiency

The DIP has moved fully back activating sensor SQ2030I. If this is not the case, check the efficiency of the
sensor, its wiring and the relative digital input module.
In order for the cycle to be correctly performed, the incoming tiles should not be less than 150 mm away
from one another (distance between rows). Use photocells SQ2047A,B,C. etc to check.
Make sure sensors SQ2047A,B,C, etc.. and the input card (DI module) (slave 21) are in the right position and
work properly. Check all the connecting cables/connectors. Make sure the devices placed before the DIP are
set to send tiles at rates higher than 150 mm. On the contrary adjust these machines to solve the problem.

During the DIP automatic/semiautomatic cycle 50 seconds have elapsed from when the die-set completed
the downstroke and the DIP has not provided the signal for the plunger to move down. This occurs when
the DIP encoder (BQ30) detects a value less than the position set for the end of the return stroke (or less
that the approach position, if set).
Explanation of message:
The program checks the DCL filler-box’s encoder using microswitch/sensor SQ59. During the learning
cycle started by the operator, the value at which SQ59 is deactivated is saved during the filler-box forward
stroke. On the other hand, during the return stroke the position in which it is triggered is saved. During the
automatic cycle, it verifies that this value is observed within a tolerance of a few millimeters. As a result, if
the encoder does not read correctly the machine detects it and shuts down. The number given in brackets
to the right of the message indicates the error expressed in mm. If, for example, the parameter equals -35
and appears at the end of the filler-box return stroke, it means that: at the moment in which the filler-box
back was detected (SQ59), the filler-box encoder measured a value 35 mm lower than the one measured
during the learning procedure (in other words further back).
Actions to be taken:
Perform the ”SQ59 value learning procedure for filler-box encoder control” (see the “Description of the keys”
paragraph”).
This procedure must always be repeated if SQ59 is moved, if the encoder’s home position is changed or if
the speed of the filler-box is changed when near SQ59.
If the trouble persists, replace contactor KA59 and/or microswitch/sensor SQ59 and/or encoder BQ2 for
the filler-box.
A fault has been detected in the system which monitors the setting of a plunger encoder (the name of the
encoder is specified in brackets).
