Components inside the Sentry

Tooling Sentry is a quality management system, built round

electronic Sentry modules which attach to crimping presses

to enforce the requirements of ISO/TS 16949 with respect to

maintenance of the consumable parts of crimped terminal

application tooling.

 

Installation

 

Connection to the press

 

Sentry is connected to the crimping press by an 8-core cable plugging into the right

hand connector at the bottom of the Sentry (when viewed from the front).

 

Power Supply

 

If DC or half-wave rectified AC voltage in the range 7 to 24V is available

inside the press, it may be applied to the Grey core, the Brown core provides

the ground return.  

 

If it is not possible to use spare power from the press, the alternative power

input socket can be used.

It should be supplied through a 2.1mm jack with the centre pin positive. In this

case note that the alternative power input is connected to the Grey core inside

the Sentry so the Grey core should be insulated inside the press.

 

Relay Output

 

The Yellow and Green cores should be wired to block the press when the relay is open.

 

Press Fire Input

 

A 24V pulse should be applied across the Orange and Blue cores each time the press

is fired. This allows the Sentry to count cycles and increment the counters in e-tag ADMs.

The input is a bidirectional LED opto-isolator so polarity of the signal is not important.

 

Alternatively if a CFA is installed on the press a pass pulse can be applied at the Orange

and Blue cores and a fail pulse applied across the Red and Black cores. In this way

the total number of cycles is still known to the Sentry but process yield data is

also collected.

 

 

Connection to Ethernet network

 

The Sentry provides a 10/100 base T ethernet port which can be connected to

a wired network.

The port has fixed polarity although most network hub hardware provides automatic

polarity detection and switching. In many cases a straight-thru cat 5 cable connects

successfully to a hub but occasionally, if connecting directly to a PC for example,

a cross-over wired cable might be needed.

When a successful connection is made the LEDs in the socket will light up.

 

 

Connection to the ADM

 

The ADM connector should be plugged into the 6 way socket situated between

the Ethernet and the 2.1mm power jack. If operator ID tags are being used

a T-piece adapter can be plugged in here to provide two 6 way sockets, one for

the ADM connector and one for the ID tag holder.
