Overview You have just purchased the most advanced load monitoring solution available.
HELM INSTRUMENT COMPANY, INC. manufactures a complete line of load
monitoring control solutions for use on metal stamping, forging, compaction and
assembly presses; cold forming, cold heating, injection molding and die cast
machines.

Standard or custom transducers and load cells are available for in-die monitoring
of transfer or progressive tooling.

At HELM, quality is inherent not only in the design of our products but in the
attitudes of our employees as well. We’re working together to give you the best.
After all, that’s what our business is all about - providing innovative
instrumentation to help make your manufacturing process more productive and
your operation more effective.

The Helm StrainGage combines machine and tooling monitoring with

programmable limit switch function. User programmable high and low limits
protect the machine and tooling to ensure part quality.

Critical setup information can be stored and uploaded as part of a die recipe
program. An optional resolver input module is used to compare machine/press
tonnage to crank angle for real time signature analysis.

Components The Helm StrainGage module is attached to the controller or to an adjacent I/O
module on the din rail. The system is comprised of two parts; the input module
and two Helm Strain gage based sensors.

Strain Gain The primary part of the load monitoring system centers around the measurement.
Transducer The basic function of the Helm Strain Gain sensor is to detect the amount of
deflection imposed on the press or die as parts are being formed. All Strain Gain
Operation sensors are matched to within 1% and therefore can be replaced without
recalibration of the machine.

The Helm Strain Gain sensors can be mounted to strategic high stress areas of
the machine frame or strategically located in tooling or applied to stop blocks.
Signals from these sensors are routed to the StrainGage module for processing.
The Helm Strain Gage is capable of measuring either a tension or compression
signal.

• Sample and Compare Logic - processor memorizes the sample or benchmark load
StrainGage and compares each machine cycle against this sample.
Module
Features • User programmable Sample Count - selectable number of machine cycles on
which to base the sample.

• High and Low Capacity Alarm Sets - a discrete load limit for a maximum allowable
load and a minimum allowable load.

• High and Low Trend Alarm Sets - set as a percentage of load change on an
established sample.

• Low Alarm Inhibit - User programmable option to disable low alarm during process
start-up.

 Chapter 1

Hardware The StrainGage module can be attached to the controller or to an adjacent I/O
Overview module before or after din rail mounting. It is a Class 1 module (uses eight input
words and eight output words). It interfaces to strain gage based transducers
(350ohm or 700ohm).

The module can accept input from two sensors. The module has no output
channels. Module configuration requires manual and user programmable setup.

The StrainGage module receives and stores digitally converted analog data into
its image table for retrieval by processor. The module supports connections from
any combination of up to two strain gage sensors.

Any combination of Helm Strain Gage sensors can be used. Contact Helm for
additional information on the type and application of different sensor options.

The Helm module requires (1) input from a cam switch or a proximity
sensor for establishing the peak look window

Getting This chapter can help you to get started using the Helm StrainGage
Started module. The procedures included here assume that you have a basic
understanding of PLC products. You should understand electronic
process control and be able to interpret the ladder logic instructions
required to generate the electronic signals that control your application.

Because it is a start-up guide, this chapter does not contain detailed

explanations about the procedures listed. It does, however, reference
other chapters in this book where you can get more information about
applying the procedures described in each step. It also references other
SLC documentation that may be helpful if you are unfamiliar with
programming techniques or system installation requirements.

If you have any questions or are unfamiliar with the terms used or
concepts presented in the procedural steps, always read the referenced
chapters and other recommended documentation before trying to apply
the information.

This chapter will:

• tell you what equipment you need

• explain how to install and wire the module
• show you how to set channels for the sensor input

Required Tools and Equipment

Have the following tools and equipment ready:
• small blade screwdriver
• potentiometer trimmer (tweeker)
• appropriate strain gage cable

System The StrainGage module communicates to the processor through the parallel
Operation backplane interface and receives +5Vdc and +24Vdc power from the power
supply through the backplane. No external power supply is required. The
MicroLogix and CompactLogix platforms can support up to 8 I/O modules. You
may install up to 3 StrainGage modules using the base power supply. An
additional power supply can be added to support more than 3 modules. Refer to
publication 17864-UM100A-US-P for information on expansion power supply
systems.

Each individual channel on the module can receive input signals from strain gage
based sensors. The module converts the analog values directly into digital
values.

Sensor The sensors are wired to the modules using the rightmost bank of inputs.
Wiring The pin-out is shown below.

(CH 1) + SIGNAL (WHITE)

(CH 1) NOISE DRAIN (SHIELD)
(CH 1) – SIGNAL (RED)
BOTH + GAGE (BLACK)
BOTH – GAGE (GREEN)
(CH 2) + SIGNAL (WHITE)
(CH 2) NOISE DRAIN (SHIELD)

A complete listing of a sample ladder logic program is included at the back of this manual.
Examples shown here are for reference.

All values are 0 (default) on initial start-up. This means that all alarms are
disabled. You must make the following adjustments for proper operation:

• set calibration numbers

• set meter scale
• set capacity (maximum load) alarms
• set minimum load alarms
• set sample count
• set trend alarms

Steps 2 and 3 require adjustment to the three position toggle switch on the inside panel of the module.

Step 1. Set the Run mode bit to Bypass

⇒ From your operator interface, put the tonnage module into bypass mode. (Both the setup and run lights on
the tonnage module should be off.)

| 3 1 |

NOTE: Make sure that only 1 bit is set at any time for Panel Mode, integer N10:20.

Step 2. Balance Sensor Input.

1. Set three-position switch to OFF (center) position.

2. Turn balance potentiometer until 0’s are all displayed.
3. If two sensors are wired, follow this procedure for both channels.
⇒ If you are using Helm Panel Software select SET CAL NO. on menu. Adjust balance pot until 0’s are
displayed.

Page 4-1
 Chapter 34
Step 3. Set Calibration Numbers

1. Set three-position switch to calibrate (down) position)

2. Turn Gain Potentiometer to dial in calibration numbers.
3. If two sensors are wired, follow this procedure for both channels.
⇒ If you are using Helm Panel Software select the SET CAL NO. Menu. Adjust gain balance pot until
calibration numbers are correct for channel 1 and
channel 2.

Always make sure that the three-position switch is in ON (top) position for
Normal operation.
The remaining setup procedures can be accomplished with the Run Mode
bit in either Bypass, Peak or Monitor Parts Mode. However, the Bypass
Mode should only be used when setting calibration values or zero
balancing the sensor input.

Step 4. Set Machine Capacity Scale

The three position switch should be placed in the ON (top) position.

This setting is based off of one channel. It represents the maximum allowable load or tonnage from one sensor
location. Integer N10:14 should be set from your operator interface.

Setting Machine Capacity Scale using (1) two channel force module:

If 2 sensors are installed on the left and right sides of a 60 ton press, set the Scale to 30 (maximum capacity of
one sensor).

Use the following table as a reference for setting the Machine Capacity Scale for a single force module installation
with two sensors. Divide the press/machine capacity by the number of sensors (2) and set Scale to the result.

PRESS SCALE PRESS SWITCH PRESS SWITCH

CAPACITY SETTING CAPACITY SETTING CAPACITY SETTING
20 10 30 15 40 20
45 22 50 25 60 30
80 40 110 55 150 75
...
200 100 250 125 300 150

If 2 sensors are installed in the tooling rather than on the press structure, set the Machine Capacity Scale to the
highest load/tonnage of one sensor.

Page 4-2
 Chapter 34

Setting Machine Capacity Scale for multiple channel systems.

Divide the Machine capacity by the number of sensors and set Machine Capacity Scale on all modules to the result.

Example: If 2 load modules are used for monitoring a straight side press with 4 sensors mounted on the press columns,
set the Machine Capacity Scale on both modules to the highest load/tonnage of one sensor.

Use the following table as a reference for setting the Machine Capacity Scale for a system comprised of (2) force modules
and (4) sensors.

400 100 450 112 500 125
...
800 200 1000 250 1200 300

Step 5. Set Capacity Alarms

This value is a discrete load/tonnage value, not a percentage.

NOTE: Although the range of values for capacity alarm settings is 0 to 9999, it is recommended that you do not enter
values that exceed the capacity rating of the machine/press. A value of 0 disables capacity alarm set.

To determine the maximum rating for each channel, divide the total machine/press capacity by the number of sensor
inputs. EXAMPLE: A press or slide rated at 100 tons with a (2) channel force module would have a capacity alarm
setting of 50 tons per sensor input.

This setting differs from the Scale setting as it can be adjusted up or down depending on the nature of the process.

The recommended maximum value is 195% of Machine Capacity Scale.

Step 6. Set Minimum Low Alarm

This value is a discrete load/tonnage value, not a percentage.

The range of this value is 0 to 9999. A value of 0 disables Minimum Low Alarm. Use a value here that represents a
minimum load/tonnage that is acceptable for the process.

Use this alarm setting when running in Peak Mode to alarm against low load/tonnage hits.

Step 7. Set Sample Count

The sample count is a user programmable parameter that tells the processor how many machine strokes are
required to establish sample or benchmark load values. The value can range from 0 to 16. A value of 0
invalidates the Monitor Parts mode. You should set Sample Count to a minimum of 1 to enable Monitor Parts
mode.

Note: Each time you change Monitor Parts mode bit from ON to OFF, the sample value is cleared. During
normal operations, Monitor Parts mode is enabled when beginning a process run. If the process varies due to
change in material thickness, for example, it may be necessary to take a new sample.

Step 8. Set Trend Alarms

The Trend Alarm settings are established as a percentage of allowable change in load. These percentages
are applied to the sample load values. There is a High Trend Alarm set and a Low Trend Alarm set for each
channel. The limits can range from 0 to 99%. A setting of 0 disables the alarm.

These alarms are active when the Monitor Parts Mode bit is ON. When monitor parts mode is enabled, the
sample process takes place.

Example: Monitor Parts mode is enabled with a sample count of 4 and high and low Trend Alarms set at
10%. The load generated on the next 4 machine cycles is averaged to obtain the sample value for each
channel. A sample of 30 tons is calculated for channel 1 and a sample of 40 tons is calculated for channel 2.

If any succeeding machine stroke develops tonnage of 33 (10% of 30 = 3 tons) or higher on channel 1 the
High Trend Alarm is reached and the alarm bit is turned ON. If tonnage falls to 27, the Low Trend Alarm set
is reached and the alarm bit is turned ON.

You have completed the basic setup and the module is operational.
