1 Introduction
The UFM-NC-MODULE system is a powerful tool to rapidly setup, alter, optimize
and adapt press and positioning tasks.
The basic element is the electro-mechanical assembly unit from PROMESS,
consisting of:
• assembly unit with motor, transducer and distance measuring device,

• motor power amplifier,
• NC module for NC control of the assembly program,
• programming and user software.
Several press units can be connected via a network and programmed from a single
programming device.

4 User and Rights Administration

A user must log in at start up. The user is logged in with the corresponding rights. If
an action is to be performed but your current user level does not have sufficient
rights, you have to change to a user with sufficient rights.
4.1 Login
The login dialog for logging in to the system is available in the menu
bar.
Name of currently logged user is displayed in

menu bar
There are two different cases of logins into the UFM software:
Case 1: There is no standard user.
Start of UFM
• Login dialog appears
• The user must log in correctly.
• If “Cancel” is pressed, the software will close.
Logout
• If a user logs out (logout button in login dialog), then the login dialog remains
open (modal) until the login is correctly performed. In this situation, the
software cannot be ended.
Change User
• If a user opens the login dialog to change users, the logout option does not
have to be used. Instead, the user can simply enter their login name and
password and confirm them.
10
Case 2: There is a standard user.
A user can be declared as a standard user.
Start UFM
• The login dialog does not appear and the software starts directly.
• The standard user is not logged in automatically.
Logout
Case 1: log in as standard user.
• It is not possible to log out.
Case 2: Another user has logged into the system as the standard user.
• The logout button causes the current user to be logged out and the standard
user logged in.
Change User
• If a user opens the login dialog to change users, the logout option does not
have to be used. Instead, the user can simply enter their login name and
password and confirm them.
4.2 User Administration

7.1 Movement Steps

7.1.1 Positioning
This function module is used to approach the various positions using absolute or
relative entries.
Two input variables of the movement can be recorded as a function of path or time.
One of these curves can be monitored (see Monitoring).
Click the “Positioning” button under Function.
The following window appears:
Parameter
In the following boxes, enter the values you require or choose a variable:
• Position
Depending on which option is selected, positions can be approached
relatively or absolutely.
• Speed
• Acceleration
• Braking rate
The ratio of acceleration to braking rate should not exceed 5:1 or 1:5.
Recommendation 1:1
Overload
• Overload limit: Under “Overload sensor”, choose the sensor to be used to

monitor overloading and enter the limit conditions.
27
Program Creation
Data Acquisition
Choose the sensors for X and Y as well as the resolution for the X variable. You
can use the position or the time as the reference variable X of the data acquisition.
This recording can also be monitored.
A second sensor can be chosen for a second data acqisition using the same
reference variable. This recording can not be monitored.
To do this, select “Collect”.
A maximum of 4000 points can be recorded.
Monitoring
You can monitor the X/Y graph using an envelope.

• Envelope monitoring: Select this option to activate the monitoring.
• Learn curve limit: When activated, limit curves can be learned during the
next cycle. Any existing envelopes will be overwritten.
• Bundle at step end Curves are displayed relative to the final point of the
step during the learning process. This position is displayed as a zero point
and the curves are scaled in the negative direction. The curves of the
successive cycles are displaced in the negative or positive direction so that
the scaling is no longer correct in the absolute sense.
• Online Monitoring: The curve limit is monitored online and the status is also
set online while recording the data.
28
Program Creation
If the status is NOK, the shaft will be stopped immediately.
• Only load NOK curves: When this option is selected, NOK curves are
transferred to the PC.
• rel. to end value (Y)
The envelope curves are employed relatively to the end Y value of the step.
The differences between the end value of the curve and the points of the
envelope curves are defined by the teaching procedure. The envelope curve
is floating with Y end value. If the envelope curve is edited, the difference is
accordingly corrected.

Program Creation
7.1.1.1 Options
• Target window
– Custom target window

If you activate this function, you can adjust the target window for this
particular step.
– Stop command when entering target window

When entering the target window the axis will decelerate with the
current limit, not with the set deceleration.
– Extend step (DAQ)

Allows you to extend the DAQ by maximal 300 ms. In standard the DAQ
is stopped, when reaching the target window.
• Strain compensation
– Standard
The strain compensation is active until the target window is reached.
31
Program Creation
If slip-stick effects occur, high peak forces may be gauged shortly before reaching
the target position. This can create an overshoot of the axis. It is caused by the fact
that the axis cannot stop anymore at the calculated target position with the set
brake ramp, when the signal declines.
– Advanced
In the advanced mode it is possible to stop the compensation within 100 and 0
percent of the brake ramp. The axis will move to the target position that is updated
when the strain compensation is stopped.
100 % = start brake ramp

0% = standard behavior
Since the compensation for the position read out is continued to avoid a position
gap between the steps, there is a difference between the position value in the read
out and the target position. Because the target position is no longer adjusted when
the compensation is stopped. Therefore it might be necessary to adjust the target
position of the step.
32
Program Creation
7.1.1.2 Trigger Positioning

Activate the trigger function.
The trigger function allows you to control the movement in various ways using up
to 7 sequential conditions. Using the signal inputs and digital user inputs, you can
modify the following parameters:
• User outputs
• Variables
• Tare
• Speed and target position (parameters)
• Resolution of recorded data (other)
Conditions can be linked to the signal and user inputs.

If “relative” is chosen for the movement, conditions that depend on the position also
have to be set to “relative”.
When the specified condition becomes true, you can control the ensuing action in
the following manner.
• Perform once when the condition is true (Deactivate trigger)

• Always perform when the condition is true. (Leave trigger activated)
• Always perform after the condition has become true (Trigger always true)
• Pause, end the movement with the maximum ramp (status will not be
affected)
• Pause NOK, end the movement with the maximum ramp (status will set to
NOK)
• Next trigger, (when set, the next trigger will be processed)
• Previous trigger, (
Jumps back to the previous trigger condition. This is always the last trigger in
a trigger chain.
33
Program Creation
Some examples of the possibilities offered by this function:
• Change the speed during the movement

An additional 10 mm should be traversed after reaching the saddle point
(slope = 0) on the force-displacement curve.
10 mm
Slope <0 Pos.
• Two changes to the traversing speed during positioning.

7.1.2 Press to Signal

This function module is used to approach any given signal.
Two input variables of the movement can be recorded as a function of path or time.
One of these curves can be monitored (see Monitoring).
Click the “Press to Signal” button under Function.
Parameter
• Signal source: Choose the sensor input to be used to stop the movement.
In the following boxes, enter the values you require or choose a variable:
• Sensor limit: Enter the required condition to trigger the stop.
• Preliminary position: The entered speed is used while approaching this
position (depending on the option, the positions can be entered as relative or
absolute values).
• Speed to Prel. Pos.: Enter the speed to be used while approaching the
preliminary position.
• Acceleration: Acceleration during movement
• Max. force-fitting position: The joining unit is driven up to this position as a
maximum.
• Force-fitting speed: Speed up to the start of the block range. The speed
change from the speed up to the preliminary position for force-fitting is
performed using a maximum braking ramp. For an increasing signal, the
speed is reduced to minimum 1% or maximum 100% (no controlling) of the

7.1.3 Controller Module

This module allows any connected signal to be held constant for a specific period
of time (duration) as long as it can be controlled by the positioning movement.
Thus, the joining unit moves forwards and backwards within definable limits
(min/max controller position) in order to eliminate deviations from the controlled
variable. The overload limit is also monitored for this process to prevent damage
to the various components.
This function distinguishes between the movement required to achieve the setpoint
and actual control process (control profile). Within the control profile, the speed and
acceleration are reduced to the setpoint using the approximation. The reduction
behavior of the speed can be controlled under “Profile”.

• Control Profile
Here you can enter the traversing speed and the acceleration as the set
point is approached. The traversing speed and acceleration are decreased
as the control deviation becomes smaller. The higher the value is, the larger
the deviation from the linear reduction. High values create a lower reduction
in speed and acceleration for large control deviations. On the other hand,
they are decreased even more at small control deviations.

• Type Window
This type allows the data recorded during the step to be monitored within a window
.
To create a window, enter the min. and max. values for the X and Y axes. This
defines the coordinates of the 4 window edges.
You can define 3 different types for the edges:
• Not allowed
The actual curve must not cross this edge.
• Neutral
64
Program Creation
The actual curve of this edge may cross this edge from any direction for any
number of times.
• Oriented (in / out)

The curve may only cross this edge in the direction of the arrow.
If the arrows are used, the curve must enter and exit the window across
these edges. If a neutral edge of the window is crossed instead of the
required edge, a NOK status will be generated.
If several arrows with the same orientation are used, these are linked to
each other by a logical “OR” condition.

The following values can be recorded within a window:
– Average
– Maximum value
– Minimum value
– Final recorded value
Enter the required settings in order to determine a value within a given window.

7.2.7 Strain
This function allows you to compensate for bending in the press frame resulting
from the forces applied during the positioning movement. In accordance with the
Strain factor, the shaft is positioned further down. The compensation is linear.
• Sensor

• Signal input
Choose the signal to be used for calculating the Strain compensation.
• Value

• Disable error “Strain compensation”

If stick slip occurs in your process and you are using strain gain
compensation, it might be useful to disable the error message. The error is
set, when the position of a new force value in the DAQ is behind the last
stored value. In case of a huge sudden force decline, this might happen
caused by the calculation of the strain compensation
Strain can only be compensated for positioning steps. For all other steps
where this is active, only the positioning display is compensated. The
movement is not affected.
The strain factor is reset at each program start regardless whether or not it
has been programmed. This prevents strain factors from other programs from
being re-used in other programs.
70
Program Creation
7.2.7.1 Determining the strain

To determine the strain of your system, proceed as follows:
Create a program where the “Press to Signal” function is used to drive against a
very stiff block (e.g., base plate of your press frame or a steel block).
Disable strain compensation (value = 0).
Drive just in front of the block and execute the “Join on Signal” step to ramp up the
nominal load of the joining unit at a very low speed (e.g., 0.1 mm /s). Record a
curve with a high resolution. Finally, drive back to the home position.
A graph similar to the following will appear:
If necessary, zoom out from the slope area.

In the approximately linear range of the slope, use two points to calculate the strain
factor. You can determine the coordinates of these points using the mouse cursor.
Drive the mouse to the largest and smallest points in the linear section of the
curve. The values for the force and path are displayed above the graphic.
Determine the difference between the position and the signal value.
Finally, enter these values.

∆X. The higher the noise levels in your signal, the larger the value of delta X
to be used.
• Oversampling
114
Service
The oversampling function is used to calculate the slope at up to 6

intermediate points when, due to disturbances, a relatively large value of
delta X is used to calculate the slope. This calculation is performed using the
selected delta X. This helps to increase the reaction speed, which is
relatively slow due to the large value of delta X being used.

12.5 PROMESS BUS

The PROMESS bus allows you to transfer data from maximum four Promess
Digital Modules (PDM) as well as transmit sensor signals and variables between
maximum four UFM controllers (SM applications).
It is permissible to assign a sensor value to several different targets so that, for

instance, it can be available for two different controllers.
The communication status between the various participants is indicated by LEDs:
Green = participant is currently communicating on the bus
Red = participant is not currently communicating on the bus
To initiate communications between the participants, they first have to be linked to

each other. To do this, assign a source to a target.
Sources include PDM modules as well as UFM controllers. Only UFM controllers
can be targets.
• PDM
Several signals can be transmitted from a PDM. Typically all available signals are
to be transmitted. In certain exceptions when many links have been configured, it
might be necessary to switch off the excessive signals.
These PDM types are available:

– PDM-S: 1 Strain gauge / 1 Encoder input (TTL)
– PDM-A: 4 * +/- 10 VDC / 1 Encoder input (TTL)
– PDM-IO: 16 inputs / 16 outputs
– PDM-P: Piezo sensor amplifier

12.6 Safe data export

For the active station, this window displays the status of the plugin that has been
activated for safe writing of data to the UFM controller.
Safe data export means that the DB healthy bit of the higher level controller (PLC)
is not set until all plugins have written their cycle data and communicated this to
the UFM controller.
If a registered plugin has been quit for instance, this will be shown in red. The DB
healthy bit of the higher level controller is not set until the checkmark is cleared
from the “safe writing” box.
If the plugin was stopped unintentionally, please restart it and do not clear the
checkmark from the box.

16 Calibrating the Strain Gauge Amplifier (BA 626)

If it is necessary to recalibrate the strain gauge preamplifier, proceed as follows:
• Offset
To eliminate an offset from the force sensor, adjust potentiometer R1. (See
amplifier drawing.) Adjust the potentiometer until the digital value displayed
in the sensor calibration dialog is approximately zero in the absence of a
load.
• Gain
Click “Manual Method”.
Before applying a load, set the speed to a very small value (e.g., 0.5 mm/s).
Drive in small steps to approx. 80% of the rated capacity. Watch the force indicated
by the reference sensor.
Apply a load and adjust the amplifier using potentiometer R2 (gain) until the value
shown on the joining unit agrees with the value shown on the reference sensor.
With higher loads, avoid remaining in this position for a longer period of time.
Relieve the unit from any loads during the calibration process.

17.2 Cable Shield Connections
The cable shields should be connected to each other at the location where they
emerge from the cable. Use them to create a short wire strand that connects the
CTNet shield to the corresponding terminal. For reasons of safety, the CTNet
shield must be grounded at one point. In case of a catastrophic failure, this ground
connection prevents the cable shield from transmitting electrical current to another
device in the CTNet network or within the cable itself. For EMC reasons, the
ground line should only be connected at a single point.
