1.
Start Up
Before
switching on the column please check all pneumatic and electrical connections
for proper connection (see pneumatic setup sketch).
The
air pressure has to be set at 3 bar +/- 0.1 bar.
The
gauge hose with the marked number 1
has to be connected with channel 1 on
the front of the column. Hose number 2, 3
and 4 accordingly.
Now
– switch on the main switch on the backside of the column. A red LED will
indicate “power on” (on display lower right). Waiting period approx. 15
seconds. A hardware test setup will appear before the main menu is displayed.
2.
Choosing
a Measuring Program
The
measuring and control device MSG-32 /64 is equipped with one (or more) measuring
programs (MP) suited to your measuring application. Select your desired
measuring program with the selection switch on the operating box (see measuring
program list):
1:
MP1 –
2:
MP2 –
.
.
3.
Calibration
Connect
the gauges for piston or cylinder to the MSG channels 1 through 4 according to
your application (see setup sketch).
The
buttons “CAL / STOP / START” on the front side of the column are
synchronized with the buttons on the operating box (if available). To start the
calibration process, push the red button “O”. The display changes to
calibration mode and “CAL: MIN” will be displayed.
Insert
the calibration piece “MIN” piston or “MIN” cylinder into the work piece
fixture. Push “START” and wait for a few seconds (approx. 2-3 seconds) until
the dynamic measurement value settles. Push “STOP” and remove the
calibration pieces from the fixture. (a short interval is needed between pushing
“START” and “STOP”)
The
display changes again and “CAL: MAX” is displayed (on display upper right).
Repeat the procedure accordingly with the “MAX” calibration pieces.
After
completing the calibration cycle a bar diagram together with the numerical
values is displayed.
Remark:
The
description on the calibration pieces has to be faced always towards the
operator!
4.
Measuring
Cycle (general)
Example:
Piston or Cylinder
Insert
work piece (piston or cylinder) into the measuring fixture. Push “START”.
The measurement value will be displayed on the display.
Work
pieces can be exchanged as often as needed during a normal measuring cycle
without pushing any additional buttons.
To
freeze the obtained measurement value push “STOP” and the value will be
stored temporarily.
Switching
from one measuring program to the next will delete the bar diagram.
Please Note!
Multiple
values of different measuring cycles cannot be saved with the measuring and
control unit MSG. Only single measurements can be saved temporarily!
5.
Changing
of the Calibration Values
Push
“STOP” and “CAL” simultaneously. The display will switch to a selection
window with the following criteria:
MP1
(measuring program 1) MP2, MP3 ... / OK /ESC
Choose
the position you would like to change by using the up or down arrow (on the
front of the column). Push “CAL”. After completion save the changes by
choosing OK on the display and enter with “CAL”.
The
“CAL” function allows the selection of different criteria and parameter
levels. If you do not wish to change the original setting push “CAL” to
leave the configuration mode you are in. ESC and CAL will bring you one level
back.
Please Note!
During the calibration and measuring cycle the column must not be
switched off!
