6. Align the holes in the modification PCB assembly over the standoffs and press ober the tapered
posts until the locking flanges snap out to lock the board in position. TO remove the board,
squeeze the locking flanges in with your fingers and lift off the board.
Wiring
The connection diagrams and schematics for all of the 4050 stamping press controllers are included in
Figures 3-4 through 3-8. The connection diagrams are in simplified block form. The large rectangular box
in the center of the diagram represents the controller panel, with the terminal strips shown, numbered
and lettered exactly as they appear on the actual controller panel. The rotating unit’s electrical devices
that must be wired are shown on the left side of the connection diagram. Connections between the
drive and controller are shown by the solid lines that are drawn between the appropriate terminal
points. The heavy solid lines represent a raceway or conduit run.
Starting at the top of the connection diagram, note the dotted box, labeled “Recommended disconnect
switch and motor starter circuit”. This dotted line indicates that these items are not included in the
Model 4050 stamping press controller packages. Since the drive uses a standard ac induction motor, it
must be connected with the proper branch circuit protection, motor starter and overload devices. The
minimum requirements are specified in the National Electrical Code; other local regulations may also
apply. If a question exists, consult Dynamatic 800-548-2169.
Wire size, number of conductors in a conduit or raceway and grounding are also specified by the
National Electrical Code and other applicable local regulations. Make sure that you meet minimum
requirements of theses codes. Consult the nameplate of the drive for full load current at the voltage you
are using. Controller input wiring should be sized to carry 115 Vac at 7 amps. The dc output to the coils
is 45 Vdc at 8 amps. All other controller wiring is 5 amps. All other controller wiring is 5 amps or less. In
most cases, the minimum conductor size allowed by code will be adequate. To avoid stray signal
interference, do not run the reference signal interconnection wires in the same conduit as the power
wiring.
Note that it is necessary to use shielded conductors for the generator leads, both for runs to the
controller and to any tachometer indicator that may be used. The shielded conductor should be a
twisted, insulated pair of conductors having a continuous metallic shield around the twisted pair with an
insulating jacket over the shield. At the generator and indicator ends, cut back the shield as required to
expose enough lead to make the connections. Then, tape the exposed shield so that it does not ground
at that point. On the controller panel, strip off enough of the outer jacket to expose several inches of
shield. Unwrap or unbraid the shield to obtain a bundle of separate strands. Twist the strands to form a
conductor and attach it to the ground. Make sure the shield ground connection cannot make contact
with the terminals at the terminal strip. Shielded cable should have the shield grounded at one end only.
When shielded cable is used, the generator leads may be run in the same conduit as the other
conductors. You may prefer to not use shielded cable; and if so, you must run the generator leads in
separate conduit with no other conductors. Keep wire length as short as possible.
After pulling the proper size conductors, connect each terminal at the drive to a controller terminal
having the same number or letters. As an example, C1 at the drive unit should be connected to terminal
