Opening the DIAServoPress Software
Software Introduction
The First Time Using DIAServoPress
How to Open DIAServoPress
Using the DIAServoPress Software
Connection
Make sure the PC is connected to the servo press via Ethernet or USB and enter connection parameters such as IP address and port in the software function menu. The software will record the information from the servo press, so the user only needs to check the setting value.
Parameter Setting for Recipe Steps

- Default Recipe
- External File Recipe
- Export External Recipe Files
- Import External Recipe Files
DIAServoPress can export the parameters stored in the servo press as external Excel files for external use or for later import into the servo press. Once imported, the parameters will automatically be displayed in the window and imported to the servo press.

The work origin is the starting position whenever the pressing starts and returns, as shown in Figure 3-2-3-1. Then, when you click the point on the curve, the position value of that point is entered into the field. The standby conditions are those where the spindle has moved down but has not yet pressed the workpiece, as shown in Figure 3-2-4-1.
The [Standby Position] is the end position for the spindle's rapid downward movement from the [Operating Origin] without load. The [Standby Velocity] is the spindle's velocity for movement from the working origin position to the [Standby Position], and the [Standby Time] is the waiting time for the spindle at the standby position. The spindle waits at the [Standby Position] and performs push movements after the [Standby Time].
Then click on the point on the curve to enter the position or force value of that point in the field. Print conditions: In position mode, the spindle will print at [Print Velocity] to the [End Position], wait for a [Print Time] and return to the work origin. Limit conditions: When the spindle has reached the [Press Position], the servo press will check if the force is between the [Max] and [Min] force limit.
Press Conditions: In Force mode, the spindle refers to the [Press Speed] for downward speed adjustment until the [Press Force] is detected. Then it waits for the [Press Time] and returns to the original working position. Limit Conditions: When the spindle has reached the [Pressure Force], the servo press checks whether the position is between the [Max] and [Min] of the position limit.
Press Conditions: In Distance mode, the spindle moves down with [Press Speed] for the [Press Distance] and waits for the [Press Time] before returning to the work origin. Boundary Conditions: When the spindle has moved the [Press Distance], the servo press will perform a check. Pressing Conditions: In the force position mode, the spindle moves to [Press Force], then continuously presses the [Press Position] down with [Press Force] and waits for the [Press Time] before returning to the work origin.
Press conditions: In force position mode, the spindle will move down to [Press Force], then continuously press down the [Press Distance] with [Pressing Force], and wait for the [Press Time] before returning to the work origin. Limit conditions: When the spindle has moved to the [Press Distance], the servo press will check if the position is between the [Max] and [Min] of position limit.
Live Monitoring and Results
Live Messages
- Main Control Interface
- Live Chart
- Live Pressing Status
The live graph displays information such as position and force during the pressing process, as in Figure 4-1-2-1. This screen is divided into three areas, the job origin position, the standby position and the printing position. The pressing position area will display the current step, as well as the pressing mode of this step and the corresponding parameters, so that the user has knowledge of the current pressing conditions.
Exporting Statistical Data

- Save Results as
This area displays production information such as barcode, number of passes, number of NGs, number of passes, total amount, and total time. This list records every single press result in the batch, including information about measurements, standby position, standby time, press position, press force, press time and production time. You can also click [Enlarge] to open a new window and display the corresponding graph again, as shown in Figure 4-2-2-3.
Select certain items and confirm the X and Y axis values, then click [Update] to update the graph. Quality control metrics calculate statistical parameters such as mean, standard deviation and Cpk based on the force or position according to the user-defined Cpk item for each step. The statistical data is exported as Excel spreadsheets and the force and position curves for each process are recorded in a separate file per pressing process.
The replaced format as a CSV file cannot be opened by the DIAServoPress in the future. Batch overview of statistical data, including production data such as machine model, production date, barcode, pass amount, NG amount, total yield and total time. This list records every single press result in the batch, including information about measurements, standby position, standby time, press position, press force, press time and production time.
The Excel file will be saved in the specified directory with [barcode] with the serial number as the folder name as shown in Figure 4-2-3-3. The folder will contain an Excel spreadsheet and a Chart folder with a csv data file for each individual compression process as shown in Figure 4-2-3-4. The csv file records position, force, velocity and time parameters independently, as shown in Figure 4-2-3-5. To open the csv file of a specific compression, refer to the table in the Excel file as shown in Figure 4-2-3-6, or redraw the curve directly by opening the file in DIAServoPress (see Section 4.3).

Functions
Data Uploading
If [Enable] is checked, DIAServoPress will upload press data to the connected SQL server database after each press. Server connection information includes the IP address, connection account and connection password, which should be used together with [Create Database] and [Connect Database]. This function creates a dedicated database, including database name, database path, file size, and maximum file size for DIAServoPress data uploads to the connectable server, as shown in Figure 5-1-4.
The database path is the file access location of the created database, as shown in Figure 5-1-5. The file size is the initial size of the database file. The maximum file size is the upper limit for the database file size after data expansion. If the current server contains dedicated databases created by DIAServoPress, it can be directly accessed through the Connect function based on the database name, as shown in Figure 5-1-7 Check [Enable] and click [Connect].
The target database fields and existing data will be displayed in the window below, as in Figure 5-1-8.
