How to use this manual
Chapter 1 introduces you to the ProCam 1500 ServoFeed Interface (SFI). It
lists the specific feed companies and models with which SFI communicates.
And it explains what you can do with your SFI.
Installation is discussed in Chapter 2. The ProCam 1500 Servo Feed
Interface (SFI) installation is basically the same for all servo feeds. There is
one set of instructions for installing all servo feeds. However, specific wiring
connections and any other differences will be noted in the instructions
wherever they apply. Follow the steps in Chapter 2 to install SFI.
This manual explains how to use SFI in all three ProCam 1500 operating
modes -- Initialization, Program, and Run. Some of the menu choices may
be slightly different depending upon the servo feed to which you are
connected. Keep this in mind when using Chapter 3 —Using the SFI
Menus.

ProCam 1500 SFI Manual 1 Ch 1 1095900
Chapter 1
ProCam 1500 Servo Feed Interface
Your ProCam 1500 Servo Feed Interface is hardware and software that allows you to
operate your servo feed through ProCam 1500. Once installed, you can make all the
necessary settings for your servo feed right at the ProCam 1500 keypad. ProCam 1500
will automatically operate the servo feed during press operation. And because ProCam
1500 is a micro-processor, you can save all your settings for up to 200 tools in ProCam's
electronic memory. You just recall the settings when you use the tool again.
To use the Servo Feed Interface, you must have or install the appropriate firmware chip
into ProCam 1500. Then you simply connect the unit to your servo feed using a cable that
plugs into your servo feed's RS-232 port. See Chapter 2 for installation instructions.
To set your servo feed through ProCam 1500, you simply use the menus on the ProCam
1500 screen. You will see a new selection on the ProCam 1500 programming menu when
you install the interface. The new item is—"SET FEED". When you select "SET FEED"
using the ProCam 1500 keypad, you will see a menu for making SFI settings. You make
the settings using the keypad in the same way that you make all other ProCam 1500
settings. See Chapter 3 for instructions on how to use the menus.
Servo feeds covered in this manual
This manual covers all press servo feeds ProCam 1500 can operate. They include:
• COE BG2
• COE CPEC
• CWP Servo-Dial II
• Dynamic ServoFeed
• Indramat CLM-equipped servo feed with either IDS or SOT2 control panels only
• Reliance CTL (Cut-To-Length)
• Waddington MiniFeed

ProCam 1500 SFI
ProCam 1500 SFI Manual 2 Ch 1 1095900
What you can do using the ProCam 1500 Servo
Feed Interface (SFI)
Using the ProCam 1500 menus, you can:
• Set feed length, percent acceleration, and possibly some other parameters for your
servo feed (depending upon which feed you have)
• Save these settings under the tool number and recall them automatically when you
load setups by tool number
• Modify, or change, setups
• Use Feed Advisor to check your settings. If you key in feed angle and press
speed, Feed advisor warns you if your settings are not right for that job.
Important: Feed Advisor is not available for all servo feed models
• Adjust feed length and percent acceleration while the press is running (if
applicable)
• Lock SFI settings in Adjust Mode (if applicable) to prevent unauthorized tampering
IMPORTANT!
ProCam 1500 SFI works differently with the various models of servo
feeds available. All SFI's are not alike! Some do not have Initialization
mode, while others may not allow you to adjust while the press is
running. Programming choices may be different as well. In this manual,
we will present all the possible options available in SFI, but the available
options for your SFI may be different! Keep this in mind as you proceed!
How SFI works
You do not need to know any of the following information, but here is a little background
about how your SFI works. Your ProCam 1500 Servo Feed Interface (SFI) is actually an
RS-232 interface. The RS-232 interface does not just consist of cables and connectors.
Like ANSI standards that govern how your press must operate, the RS-232 interface
requires specific circuits and software instructions for the transmission of signals and
data between your servo feed and ProCam 1500. Transmission of data is handled by
software in ProCam 1500 and by the software built into your servo feed. Your servo feed
came with all the RS-232 circuitry and software already in place.
Data Instruments worked in conjunction with your servo feed manufacturer to design the
proper hardware and software for ProCam 1500 that will automatically interface with
your servo feed. That is why all you have to do is install the firmware chip and connect a
cable from ProCam 1500 to your servo feed's RS-232 port. Everything else is automatic.
You can then make SFI settings on ProCam 1500 just as you would if you used the
interface on the servo feed itself.

Chapter 2
Installation
Installing the components that allow your ProCam 1500 to operate your servo feed is
quite simple. Connecting ProCam 1500 to your feed requires these tasks:
• Installation of SFI firmware into ProCam 1500
• Wiring connections from the ProCam 1500 TB103 terminal block to the RS-232
port of your servo feed controller
Each step is described below. Installation is basically the same no matter what type of
feed you have. Any significant differences among feeds will be noted.
Installing the ProCam 1500 Servo Feed Interface
Before starting, make sure that you have all these components in your kit:
• SFI firmware chip (EPROM) (unless factory-installed at time of order)
• 20-foot 2-conductor shielded cable with a large DB25 connector attached on one
end
• 10-pin phoenix connector
Follow these steps to install the components:
WARNING!
ELECTRICAL HAZARD!
Dangerous voltages are present. Verify that the
power to ProCam 1500 and to your feed have been
turned OFF before servicing any components!
Servicing must be performed by qualified personnel.
Installing SFI firmware
To upgrade your ProCam 1500 to communicate with your servo feed, follow these
instructions:
1. With power to ProCam 1500 turned off, notice that the LCD display on the front
panel is blank and the angle/RPM display unlit.
2. Carefully remove the front panel assembly from your enclosure by loosening the
hardware and temporarily propping the unit on a flat surface.
3. Locate the firmware chip located at U104 on the ProCam 1500 processor board
(refer to Figure 2-1). Notice that this firmware chip has a label on it.

INSTALLING THE CHIP
Be sure to note the exact orientation of the firmware chip. Notice in
particular the semi-circular notch on the bottom of the chip. When
you replace the chip, the notch on the new chip MUST also be face
down. If you plug the chip in backwards, it will be destroyed!
4. Insert a small screwdriver between the bottom of the chip and the socket and carefully
pry the chip out of its socket. Be careful not to get the screwdriver under the socket
itself. Put the chip aside.
5. Open the package containing your new SFI firmware chip. Before you remove the chip
from the package, you should ground yourself by touching any large metal object (the
press will do nicely). This will remove any static electricity that you may be carrying
around. A static electricity "zap" will destroy the chip.
6. Once you are "grounded", remove the chip from its holder. REMEMBER to orient the
chip so that the notch faces downward.
7. Plug the chip into its socket by first plugging in the left row of pins and then aligning the
right row of pins over the socket and pushing straight in.
8. If the two rows of pins are spread too far apart to plug easily into the socket:
A. Hold the chip on its side on a desk or a flat surface with the pins pointing towards you.
B. Being careful NOT to overbend the pins, gently flex the top of the chip towards you.
Turn the chip over so that the other row of pins is now on the desk pointing towards
you. Flex it again, thus bending the other row of pins towards each other. Pins should
be parallel.
C. Try plugging the chip into the socket again, as in step 7. If necessary, repeat Steps 8A
and 8B.
9. Make sure that the notch in the chip is at the bottom and that all of the pins are in the socket.
10. Turn the power ON to ProCam 1500 without re-connecting the panel to your enclosure.
Verify the normal operation of the unit.
If the unit powers up with a garbled display or "rolling" LEDs, turn the power OFF and
repeat step 9. Sometimes one or more pins are bent and not plugged in properly. If the
unit is still malfunctioning, call Data Instruments for assistance. Turn ProCam 1500 and
your feed OFF before proceeding to the next step.
Wiring Connections:
1. Verify that ProCam 1500 and your feed are still turned OFF! You are now
ready to connect ProCam 1500 to your servo feed. Find the 10-pin phoenix
connector and the black round cable with a large connector (DB25 connector )
on one end. The other end of the cable has three unattached wires (red, black,
and shield). Check to make sure that you have the right connector for your
feed—either male or female as shown in Figure 2-3, and the tables at Table 2-1.
2. Locate terminal TB103 on the ProCam 1500 processor board (see Figure 2-1).
There may be a plastic plug at pin 5. If so, remove it from TB103. Also find
the RS-232 port on your feed. Refer to your feed manual if necessary.

Installation
ProCam 1500 SFI Manual 6 Ch 2 1095900
3. If ProCam 1500 and your servo feed controller have been installed inside two
separate enclosures, run the cable through flexible liquid-tight conduit from
your feed to ProCam 1500. ProCam 1500 is rated NEMA 12 (protected against
dust and oil). You must use conduit of the same rating and make proper
connections to ensure NEMA 12 protection.
4. Go to the RS-232 port on your feed. If there is a cable already connected to this port,
remove it. Some feeds will not have any cable attached to this port.
5. Plug the DB25 connector which is attached to the cable from ProCam 1500 into
the feed's RS-232 port. It can only go in one way. Tighten the screws on the
connector to hold it firmly in its socket. Also tighten all conduit connections.
6. Now go to ProCam 1500. The end with the unattached wires goes to it. Cut off any
extra cable if necessary, and carefully remove the outer insulation and inner
shielding on the cable in order to expose the wires. Strip insulation back 1/4" on
each wire.
7. You will be connecting the two wires (with shield) to the 10-pin phœnix
connector which you will attach to terminal TB103 on the ProCam 1500
processor board. The wiring connection will depend upon your feed model. Refer
to Figure 2-3, and the tables at Table 2-1 for your feed's RS-232 configuration.
8. To connect a wire, loosen the screws that correspond to the terminal referenced
in the following figure and tables, so that the corresponding slot to the right will
open. See Figure 2-2. Insert the bare part of the wire 90% of the way into the
the open slot. Retighten the screw, holding the wire firmly in place.
Closed tab
Tab opens when screw is loosened
with screwdriver. Insert wire with tab
open. Then retighten screw.

IMPORTANT -- ABOUT WIRING
When making wiring connections, be sure that the tab is tightened onto
the bare part of the wire, not onto the insulation. If on the insulation,
you will have a bad connection.
9. Repeat step 8 when connecting the other two wires. Make sure you add the
jumper between terminals 3 and 6 on ProCam 1500 TB103 as shown in Figure
2-3, and the tables at Table 2-1.

Installation
ProCam 1500 SFI Manual 7 Ch 2 1095900
10. Look at TB103. There may be a plastic plug over pin 5 on this terminal block. If
so, remove the pin using needle-nose pliers. Plug the 10-pin connector into TB103.
11. You are finished installing ProCam 1500 SFI. Re-connect the ProCam 1500
panel to your enclosure and re-tighten the hardware. Turn power back ON to
both ProCam 1500 and to your feed.
12. Check that ProCam 1500 is operating normally. If it is working properly, you
are now ready to use SFI. Go to the next chapter to learn how to set up and
operate your feed through ProCam 1500. If the unit powers up with a garbled
display or "rolling" LEDs, turn the power OFF and recheck how you installed
your firmware. Review "Installing SFI firmware" earlier in this chapter. If the
unit is still malfunctioning and you cannot find the reason for the problem, call
Data Instruments technical advisors for assistance.

Chapter 3
Using the SFI menus
In this chapter you will learn how to use the SFI menus. You will learn how to use:
• Initialization mode
• Setting feed initialization parameters
• Program mode
• Setting feed length
• Setting percent acceleration
• Setting maximum run speed
• Using the Feed Advisor
• Loading feed settings
• Run mode
• Adjusting feed parameters while running press
IMPORTANT!
ProCam 1500 SFI works differently with the various models of servo
feeds available. All SFIs are not alike! Some do not have
Initialization mode; not all servo feed interfaces have "Feed Advisor,
while others may not allow you to adjust parameters while the press
is running. Programming choices may be different as well.
In this manual, we will present all the possible options available in
SFI, but the available options for your SFI may be different!
Keep this in mind as you proceed!
About Tool numbers
The terms "Tool" or "tool number" will be used many times in this chapter. A tool
number consists of all of the settings (including the servo feed settings) that you make for
one job. You can save servo feed information for up to 200 tools and then recall the
settings for each job whenever you need to.
The Initialization mode
IMPORTANT
This manual mentions certain parameters that you can modify at your
feed. It does not, however, explain these parameters in any detail.
Refer to your servo feed manual for more information.

Using the SFI Menus
ProCam 1500 SFI Manual 10 Ch 3 1095900
To get into Initialization mode, turn the Program/Run key to "program" and then press
both the left and right "ANGLE-OFF" keys at the same time for one second. (See "Using
the keyboard" in Chapter 3 of the ProCam 1500 user manual)
NOTE
Before changing modes (for instance -- from Initialization to
Program), make sure your screen shows the first display in the
mode you are in. If that display is not shown, nothing will happen
when you turn the Program /Run key. In that case, keep hitting
the RESET key. When the first display in the mode is reached,
you will instantly switch to the new mode.

"Check setup" is a diagnostic tool available in SFI which lets you view the feed
parameters in your servo feed. It gives you an opportunity to make sure that these
parameters match your currently loaded setup.
Notice that you cannot change any of these items. This display is for viewing purposes
only.
When you are done looking at the information on the screen, press the RESET key to
return to the Feed Initialize menu, and then one more time to go back to the main
Initialization menu.
Security access
You use this choice on the Initialization menu to lock out "Adjust feed" so that
unauthorized personnel cannot perform adjust feed settings in Run mode.
Locking Adjust feed
To prevent unauthorized personnel from unlocking "adjust feed", you must remove the
Program/Run key once ProCam is switched to Run mode. This will prevent unauthorized
access into the Initialization or Program modes, so that feed settings cannot be unlocked
or altered. The key has to be positioned at "PROGRAM" to get into these modes.
Select "Security access" from the Initialization menu. Select "Program and Run modes"
shown to the right of the action "Adjust feed", as illustrated in Figure 3-7. The default
settings (settings made at the factory) allow this action to be made in Program and Run
modes.
