SOURCE Lube System Setup

If your system has an oiler edit the lube settings. Pull down Configure -> Control, and select the Settings Tab. Scroll down to the Lube System settings. Enable the lube system, and adjust the settings: choose an action trigger, set the lube output, set the time run time of the oiler, and the time between cycles. In the default settings, the oiler will only run while the control is enabled, and it will run for 8 seconds, then turn off for 5 minutes. Adjust the values according to your machine's needs. Note that lube pumps vary widely in their output. Start conservatively and increase the values to achieve proper lubrication.

In the example below:

  • The lube system is enabled
  • It runs on software timer settings
  • But only when MachPro is enabled
  • It does not run a cycle on startup
  • The lube output is the specific wired connection to the pump
  • There is an option for a pressure sensor feedback input
  • When the pump runs, it will run for 8 seconds
  • It will remain off for 5 minutes between lube cycles
  • This system is not using a PLC for the lube system
