INTRODUCTION

SAFETY, COPYRIGHT & LICENSE AGREEMENT

Please consult the safety instructions, copyright and license agreement on the first pages of the manual.

NUMERICAL CONTROL WITH WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM

The CYBELEC NCs equipped with Windows have been installed in the factory with a configuration especially realised for the numerical control (see technical information).

This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the NC, offering in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This configuration also ensures that the drivers are correct and that the whole guarantees an optimal functioning of the numerical control.

As Windows is a very open system, it is advised to not modify the Windows installation nor to install other programs. You risk to disturb the functioning of the numerical control. If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.

Remember that the NC is equipped with a floppy reader and USB ports and that it is very easy or even tempting to install external software, utilities or games coming from specialized magazines.

CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of malfunctioning of the numerical control if other programs have been installed or if the original configuration has been modified.

We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with virus and utmost caution is to be taken when using data or software coming from outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety. We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

QUICK START PAGE 7

QUICK START

This chapter describes, by means of some simple examples, diverse ways of using your Numerical Control.

L-alpha Programming. This method is the fastest and the most currently used in the workshop when the operator has to create himself a product from a paper drawing.

Direct Programming. This type of programming is often used for simple products or by operators having worked on conventional pressbrakes without numerical controls. This page is very close to what an operator has to do, since he has on one single screen all the information and fields necessary for the programming of his product.

We assume in this chapter that all the necessary tools have already been programmed as well as the machine parameters.

Access levels We presume that the operator knows how to reach level 1. Should this not be the case, see chapter Protection of the Access Levels further in this manual.

Reminder:

You will find the correspondence between the keys of the NC and those of a PC keyboard in the 2D Reference Manual under External keyboard.

These procedures indicate to the operator a programming method recommended by CYBELEC, enabling to assimilate by the example the functioning of the software. For additional information, please consult the DNC 15 2D Reference Manual which each contains a table of contents and a detailed index facilitating the search for information.

LEAVING THE SOFTWARE

It is possible at any time to quit the task after having memorized the current state. However it is important to leave the software in the correct way by

calling up the MENU page and pressing the QUIT key.

The same procedure can be used on the PC software, or press the +

keys on any page.

PAGE 8 USER GUIDE

L-ALPHA (2D) PROGRAMMING

This chapter describes, by means of a concrete example, how to create a product by using the "L-alpha" method (length-angle). This method is fast and easy and allows to display the product in 2D, which usually is sufficient when products are being programmed in the workshop.

The product being used as an example is composed of 2 sections (profiles), but the procedure is identical for one or several sections.

200.0

45.0

30.0

40.0

20.0

150.0

The side flaps with the oblong holes, which are included in section 1, will be made first, so that a punch of identical length as that for section 2 can be used.

To make this product, we will use 2 mm thick ST37 type steel.

L-ALPHA PROGRAMMING PAGE 9

STEP BY STEP

CLEAR THE WORK ZONE

The user has to clear the work memory before creating a new product.

Call the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page, which enables the data introduction in L-Alpha mode.

Press the PRODUCT function key.

Select PRODUCT NUMERICAL.

The screen below shows the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page containing a previous product.

Clear the work zone to create a new product

PAGE 10 USER GUIDE

Press the ACTION key.

Select NEW PRODUCT.

then CONFIRM

This operation erases only the data of the work memory. That means that the product which is possibly located in the work memory is not lost if it has been saved beforehand.

SELECT THE TOOLS

If the tools position is not indispensable, you can define the tools directly in the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page.

Select the tools

Touch on PUNCH field (upper part of the screen)*.

Press key .

Select the desired tool by entering the number indicated next to the choice with a two-digit number. Example: 01 for 1, 02 for 2, etc… or touch the tool name

Proceed the same for the die tool.


PUNCH ADJUSTMENT

This chapter is optional. It is interesting to look them over, for the TOOLS POSITION page enables to define several places of work and hence to the operator to visualize the tools assembly. If the tools assembly is not important, skip this chapter. The tools definition can be made directly in the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page (page in which you still are at this stage of the procedure).

Call the TOOLS POSITION page by pressing the PRODUCT function key and select TOOLS POSITION.

200.090.0° 90.0°

Remark: As shown in the following figure, the profile of section 1 is automatically drawn as a function of the introduced data (length and angle), thus the value of the internal radius is automatically calculated.


Section 1

Procedure: Touch on the first field of the LENGTH column and introduce the

value of 45 mm which corresponds to the first length. Touch or move the cursor on the ANGLE field in the same line

and introduce the value of 90° which corresponds to the first angle to be bent.

Touch or move on the second field of the LENGTH column and introduce the value of 200 mm which corresponds to the second length.

Touch or move on the second field of the ANGLE column and introduce the value of 90° which corresponds to the second angle to be bent.

Touch or move on the third field of the LENGTH column and introduce the value of 45 mm which corresponds to the last length before the edge of the product.

Hint: Introduce first all the lengths and then the angles. This way of operating is much faster.

PROGRAMMING SECTION 2

The definition of the bending direction is done by inversing the angle sign, however the choice of the side is arbitrary, but has to be constant for the whole profile of the product.

Touch or move on the BEND L. field and enter the bending length for this section (200).

Touch or move on the first field of the LENGTH column and introduce the value of 30 mm which corresponds to the first length.

Touch or move on the first field of the ANGLE column and introduce the value of 90° which corresponds to the first angle to be bent.

Touch or move on the second field of the LENGTH column and intro-duce the value of 40 mm which corresponds to the second length.

Touch or move on the second field of the ANGLE column and introduce the value of -90° which corresponds to the second angle to be bent.

Touch or move on the third field of the LENGTH column and introduce the value of 150 mm which corresponds to the third length.

Touch or move on the third field of the ANGLE column and introduce the value of 135° which corresponds to the third angle to be bent.

Touch or move on the fourth field of the LENGTH column and introduce the value of 20 which corresponds to the last length before the edge of the product.

Remark: As shown in the previous figure, the profile of section 2 is automatically drawn as a function of the introduced data (length and angle), thus the value of the internal radius is automatically calculated. The unfolded length too is calculated.


PRODUCT CALCULATION

Calculation of the unfolded lengths

Stay on the PRODUCT NUMERICAL page.

Select ACTION menu and CALCULATE .

The message CALCULATING... appears in the interactive field on the top right-hand corner of the screen. The data in the UNFLD. LE. DIN (Length of the unfolded sheet) and Ri (Internal radius) fields appears.

Remark: If the CALCULATE function key is not activated, the calculation will be carried out automatically as soon as an other screen page is being accessed.

This function is to use for the software versions previous to U2.

BENDING ORDER (BEND 2D)

Searching for the bending range

Call the BEND 2D page (in BEND menu).

In the SIMULAT. field, choose the option WITHOUT PROGR. BENDS.

In the ACTION menu, choose SEARCH BENDING RANGE.

The message SIMULATING RUNS…, then CALCULATING... appears in the interactive field on the top right-hand corner of the screen.

PAGE 16 USER GUIDE

After this the succession of sequences can be visualized using the

and Pg Dn

keys.

In the just programmed example we can see that the searching for the bending range has first placed the section 1, and then the section 2.

The operator has the possibility to modify the bending order (see the corresponding chapter in the 2D Reference Manual) or to ask the software to respect specific criteria like minimum of swings or returns. For that, please refer to the 2D Reference Manual, section Simulation criteria.

In case where the software program does not find any solution, the bending range must be imposed manually.

See Bending order in the 2D Reference Manual.


POSITION OF AXES, OTHER FUNCTIONS

Menu BEND, page BEND NUMERICAL. It can be seen that the axis position, the bending force, the crowning and, if applicable, the retraction and the top dead centre (depending on how they have been defined in the machine parameters) are calculated automatically. These values can be modified by the operator.

According to his needs, the operator can modify the following items:

TDC the Top Dead Center. If not programmed, the beam will rise to the maximum TDC.

RETRACTION BG the retraction of the backgauge.

SP the Switch Point (switching from High Speed to Bending Speed).

DWELL TIME the time during which pressure is being maintained.

BENDING SPEED the bending speed downward, or the speed during the upward moving phase until the clamping point is reached.

LOW SPEED DISTANCE

allows to define that only a portion (expressed in %) of the upward movement between the TDC and the clamping point will be carried out at low speed; the continuation of the upward movement is made at high speed.

Complementary explications are found in the 2D Reference Manual.

To execute the product, see the Bending, Tests and Corrections section, page 26.

PAGE 18 USER GUIDE


DIRECT PROGRAMMING PAGE 19

DIRECT PROGRAMMING (BEND NUM)

This type of programming is often used for simple products or by operators having worked on conventional press brakes without numerical controls. This page is very userfriendly, for the operator has on one single screen all the information and fields necessary for the programming of his product.

SECTION 1

SECTION 2 200.0

45.0

30.0

40.0

20.0

The bending order is chosen by the operator, since he programs directly each bend.

In this example, we first realize the side flaps with the oblong holes, which are included in section 1, so that a punch of identical length as that for section 2 can be used.

To make this product, we will use 2 mm thick ST37 type steel.

PAGE 20 USER GUIDE

STEP BY STEP

CLEAR THE WORK MEMORY

The user has to clear the work memory before creating a new product.

Call the BEND NUMERICAL page.

Touch the BEND function key.

Select BEND NUMERICAL

Touch the ACTION key .

Select NEW PRODUCT.

then CONFIRM

.

Clear the work zone to create a new product

This operation erases only the data of the work memory. That means that the product, which is possibly located in the work memory, is not lost if it has been saved beforehand.

GENERAL DATA

Enter: - the sigma/material - the type of material

Touch or move on the THICKNESS field and enter the thickness of the material being used.

Place the cursor on the SIGMA field and introduce the force/mm² of the material used. (E.g.: STEEL = 37 Kg/mm²).


Note: It is mandatory to program these data, as well as the tools. (see following page)

SELECT THE TOOLS

Proceed as in L-alpha programming chapter.

ENTERING THE DATA (1)

The conventional way of entering the data is to program in the BEND NUMERICAL page:

the required angle (the Y depth will be calculated according to the tools and the material already programmed). It is also possible to directly enter the Y1 / Y2 values without programming the angle.

the real position of the backgauge.

the specific data for the current sequence (top dead center, bending length and, if necessary, backgauge type, retraction, dwell time, etc.)

Below is shown the screen with the values for these two bends.

The page shown above illustrates how to program the two flaps with the oblong holes (section 1).

The two bends being identical, enter 2 in the CY field. Program the angle to 90°, the X axis to its absolute value (43.00) and enter the bending length (150).

The bending force and the crowning will be calculated automatically. The operator can, of course, modify these values if necessary.

PAGE 22 USER GUIDE

According to his needs, the operator can also modify:

TDC the Top Dead Center. If not programmed, the beam will rise to the maximum TDC.

RETRACTION BG the retraction of the backgauge.

SP the Switch Point (switching from High Speed to Bending Speed).

DWELL TIME the time during which pressure is being maintained.

BENDING SPEED the bending speed downward, or the speed during the upward moving phase until the clamping point is reached.

LOW SPEED DISTANCE

allows to define that only a portion (expressed in %) of the upward movement between the TDC and the clamping point will be carried out at low speed; the continuation of the upward movement is made at high speed.

ENTERING THE DATA (2)

HINT The way of programming described above (section Entering the Data (1)) requires of the operator to subtract the steel thickness from the external dimension of the product. The procedure described below will facilitate the programming. It has, however, some limitations depending on the product and the chosen bending order.

The hint consists of entering the external dimension in the X field of the backgauge, and to program a constant negative correction corresponding to (approximately, according to your experience, to the tools and to the material) the material thickness for the entire product.

This procedure is described hereafter:

BEND NUMERICAL page, same remark as underneath the preceding

screen illustration, except for the fact that X has been programmed with the external dimension, as explained. (45) This sequence carries out the bending of the two flaps of 45.0 mm with the oblong holes.

To create the subsequent sequence, press the ACTION key and choose COPY BEND. It can be seen that all the data has been copied onto the second sequence.


Enter the first flap of the second section, i.e. X = 30.00.

Modify the field CY = 1 or leave it unprogrammed.

Modify the bending length (BEND L. = 200) and possibly the other fields according to your needs.

Press the ACTION key and choose COPY BEND.

Program X = 40.00.

Press the ACTION key and choose COPY BEND.

For the last bend, enter ANGLE = 135.0° and X = 20.00.

Call the CORRECTIONS page (key ).

PAGE 24 USER GUIDE

In the PRODUCT column, enter the value to be subtracted from the external dimension in order to obtain a correct backgauge position (generally, a value close to the material thickness). In our example, a value of – 2.00 mm.



PAGE 26 USER GUIDE

BENDING, TESTS AND CORRECTIONS This chapter explains how to proceed in order to execute a product. This way of doing is destined only to demonstrate how to use the numerical control. The testing and adjusting operations can be carried out in the order decided by the operator.

Go into semi-automatic mode .

If necessary, move to the first sequence by means of the or

Pg Dn keys.

Press the start key in order to position the axes on the first sequence.

Carry out the bend with a trial product. Measure the flap and the obtained angle. Go to or remain in the CORRECTIONS page.

If necessary, correct the flap (in this example, a correction of X = - 0.10 is assumed) for the current bend.

Reminder: In the above screen page the correction of -2.00 mm corresponds to the material thickness programmed in the example Entering the Data (2) above.

Position the cursor on the ANGLE field, BEND column, and enter the measured angle (93.0 in this case). The software automatically calculates the necessary correction (-0.292,which can be seen in the Y1, Y2 fields, in the BEND column). Also see the 2D Reférence Manual in the Corrections section.

Carry out a second test bend (on the same sequence, with a second test product). If necessary, make a new correction. Depending on the material, the machine adjustment and the exactness of the data introduced, 2 or 3 corrections can be necessary for a bend. This can be considered as being a normal situation.

BENDING, TESTS AND CORRECTIONS PAGE 27

Once the current bend has been adjusted correctly:

Move on to the next sequence by pressing the Pg Dn

key.

Make corrections as described before.

When all the bends of the product turn out as expected:

ORGANIZATION OF THE MEMORIES

The numerical control contains various memories. When the operator programs a product or modifies the contents of a product, he is doing it in a work memory, sometimes called buffer memory. The work memory is non-volatile, that means, when you switch off the NC, the data of the current product remain stored in the memory until they are replaced by an other product or deleted.

ENC

INTERNALFloppy

Network

It is not necessary to save the product which has been programmed in the work memory, if this one is of no more use once the product executed. Generally, the product will be saved only if it has to be kept for future use.

A non-saved product in the work memory is recognizable, for the PRODUCT field is empty.

The ENC is also provided with a memory which contains a copy of the product located in the work memory. This copy is transferred to the ENC when switching to semi-automatic or automatic mode.

An other memory, belonging to the NC again, is the Floppy (disk). Generally, the Floppy is used for the saving (backup) of important products, the tools, and/or the machine parameters. Therefore, the transfer page is used. Although a product can be searched or stored directly in the Floppy, this operation will be made very rarely because of the access speed.

Complementary memories can be those offered by a network access.

When normally configurated, the NC always memorizes and searchs its products in the INTERNAL memory. It is possible to attribute an other memory by default to it (see Active Peripherals in the 2D Reference Manual).

PROTECTION OF THE ACCESS LEVELS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Thus, in this manual we will always speak of a (virtual) key position like e.g.: "Key in position 3".

Levels There exist 4 access levels, 0 to 3.

0 = Programming prohibited.

1 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of one (or more) product(s).

2 = Creation, correction, modification, saving, deleting, transfer of the tools.

3 = Programming, modification and transfer of the machine parameters.

Access These levels are reached by pressing the

Alt + , Alt + , Alt + or Alt + keys.

Remark: Release the numerical key before the Alt key.

The key position is displayed as a small pictograph at the right bottom of the screen.

When passing to non-authorized level, a password modification will be requested. When the password has been introduced, you can "navigate" in the inferior levels and equal to the authorized one without reintroducing the password. The fact to pass on level 0 reinitializes the password request.

Users A number of different users are predefined. A user is not a physical person in particular, but can be e.g. all the operators having the authorization to work on the machine. Each predefined user possesses his own password and a maximum level which he can reach. See further under Table of users, access and passwords.

Password Certain users can modify their own password. For the others, the password can only be changed by a user having a superior access.

Characteristics The password can be composed of alphanumerical characters if such a keyboard is disposable. Otherwise only of numerical characters.

Loss of the password In case of loss of the password, a user of a superior level has to reprogram the password.

6 MACHMAN0 OK OK 3 Responsible of the technicians at the machine manufacturer's

A predefined user is just a role. Many physical persons can have the same role. E.g., many physical operators can be a EUL1 (level 1).

After installing the machine it is advised to modify the password by default of level 4 (WSSUPER = Workshop supervisor) and of level 3 (EUL3 = Operators with authorization level 3), because the passwords are in this manual.

PAGE 36 USER GUIDE

ACCESS BY PASSWORD

By starting the software, the virtual key is always positioned at 0.

When the operator selects one of the combinations + , or

, the following message appears:

Level 1

Password

Enter the password.

Press .

The authorized level is shown in the bottom right box in the screen. Otherwise a message indicating that the user is not authorized is displayed.

Once the authorization acquired, the operator can change the level among those authorized to him without reappearing of a new password request. For instance, a user with access on level 3 can navigate between levels 1, 2 and 3 without having to give his password again.

If level 0 is activated, the access on any other level will require to introduce the password again. This request also will appear when the user passes to a superior level (from 0 to 1, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, etc.) and he has no access authorization.

Advice If you have accessed to level 3, access to level 0 after your intervention. This will avoid to make undesired changings by inadvertence.

or 2 or 3 according to the keys combination


ACCESS TO LEVELS SUPERIOR TO 3

Certain users can access to levels superior to 3, which enables them, among other things, to modify the passwords. In order to know the authorizations, see Table of users, access and passwords.

Press the keys combination + .

The following message appears:

Changing key position

User WSSUPER Password Validate Cancel Password forgotten Change password

Choose the desired user level (see table).

For that, place the cursor in the User field and press the key,

then make your choice and validate with .

Place the cursor in the Password field and enter the password

corresponding to the requested level and validate with the key.

The NC passes to level 1. The operator can "navigate" between levels 1 and 3 without reintroducing his password. If his access level enables him, he can call the procedure of password modification (see next paragraph).

At the end of the intervention, don't forget to pass to level 0 in order to leave the current level.

PAGE 38 USER GUIDE

CHANGE PASSWORD

It is possible to modify the passwords attributed by default.

Certain users can do it for themselves, others not. In order to know the authorizations, see Table of users, access and passwords.

Procedure:





Log in as at least WSSUPER.

PASSWORD FORGOTTEN

If a user has lost / forgotten his password, ask to the responsible of the machine. If this password is definitively lost however, there are 2 possibilities: .

a) The user is not authorized to change his password himself. 2 solutions for this case: - Ask the "superior" user to modify his password. (See section Change Password). - Use the method described below.

b) The user is authorized to change his password. Proceed as described hereinafter.

Note: If the forgotten password concerns levels 1, 2 or 3, ask the workshop supervisor to modify the passwords of these levels according to the procedure described in section Change Password.

Procedure:





Choose the user whose password is forgotten. For that, place the

cursor in the User field and press the key, then make your
