Introduction

The Profile-60S offline program offers a similar user interface as a DA-60S line Delem control. This chapter will focus on a few special functions that are only available in the Profile-60S software.

Step 1: Preparing Your Computer for Installation

Before beginning the installation of the DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S software, ensure your computer meets the system requirements. You’ll need an IBM-compatible PC, Windows 10, a minimum screen resolution of 1920×1080, and video drivers supporting OpenGL V3.3 or higher. Additionally, a free USB port is necessary for the installation dongle.

Depending on the purchase package the Profile-60S software is distributed on a USB memory stick or can be generated at the control.

The complete Profile-60S package contains the following items:

• Profile-60S installation stick;

• USB license dongle;

• Content info and installation steps printed inside the Profile-60S box.

Profile-60S software distributed together with the control consists of:

• USB stick for installation and back-up purposes;

• USB license dongle;

• Installation steps printed inside the Profile-60S box.

Step 2: Installing the DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S Software

To start using the DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S, you’ll need to install the software on your computer’s hard disk. Follow these streamlined steps to complete the installation process:

Insert the Installation Stick: Plug the Profile-60S installation USB stick into a USB port on your PC. Follow the automatic prompts to download the installation files.

Launch the Setup Program: A ‘welcome’ window will appear, offering to install the DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S software. Click ‘Next’ to proceed or ‘Cancel’ to quit. If it doesn’t start automatically, locate ‘Delem.Profile-60S.setup.Vx.y.z.exe’ on the USB stick via Windows Explorer and double-click it.

Accept the License Agreement: Carefully read the displayed license agreement. Click ‘I accept…’ to continue or ‘I do not accept…’ to exit. Proceed with ‘Next’ after accepting.

Setup Program Folder: The installation will create a new folder in the Windows start menu. You can rename it or include it in an existing folder. Click ‘Next’ to proceed.

Choose Installation Path: Decide where to install DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S. The default path is ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Delem\Profile-60S’. Modify the path if necessary, then click ‘Install’ to begin the installation.

Complete Installation: The setup will copy the necessary files to your hard drive. Once finished, you’ll receive a completion message.

After installation, you’ll find the DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S software and its manuals accessible through your desktop and start menu for easy access.

Step 3: Finalizing the Installation Process

Now you are ready to use Profile-60S. If the USB license dongle is connected to the PC Profile-60S will be launched. If the USB license dongle is missing an error message will be displayed.

After a default installation the following icons are present on your Windows Desktop:

The installation program has also placed a new item named Delem, if no changes were made to the installation, in the Windows Start menu. The following items are shown in this menu:

Profile-60S: Profile-60S software

Profile-60S manuals: Operation manuals of the DA-60S control

Exploring the DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S Features

Navigating the Profile-60S Interface

Upon launching Profile-60S, you’ll encounter the main interface with mode selection keys that guide your workflow. Starting with ‘Products’ mode, you have the ability to select or create a new product, proceeding then to programming and tool setup.

For product programming, refer to the built-in Help (? key) and the operation manual included with the Profile-60S installation. Profile-60S offers additional functions compared to the DA-60S control:

• Use the ‘machine library’ button (or ‘install machine’ in Profile-SL) to update machine data, ensuring it aligns with the machine’s control settings.
• In ‘Products’ mode, print selected products using the ‘print’ button.
• In ‘Transfer’ mode, transfer generated products, including tooling, to a hard disk, USB device, or network location.

Utilizing the Machine Library for Compatibility

The machine library within Profile-60S is vital for ensuring compatibility between the software and your physical machine. By matching parameters, you can create offline programs with 100% compatibility to your machine’s control system. Adding a machine involves using the ‘install machine’ button in the software, ensuring all settings match those of your machine.

SYS file: A back-up file from a DA-60S control.

DAT file: A .dat file from a DA-60S control.

To create a SYS file on a DA-60S control, select ‘backup system’ from the system information page in Machine mode.

When Profile-60S is generated, a machine data file (.dat) is automatically created and copied to a USB stick, then loaded into the Profile-60S software during installation. The machine’s name in Profile-60S matches the control’s name on the machine but can be changed afterward if needed.

You can switch between the installed machines by selecting the required machine name and then press the button ‘select machine’.

With the button ‘edit’ the selected machine can be renamed, removed or copied.

Advanced Functions and Operations of Profile-60S

Utilizing Print and Transfer Mode for Productivity

In ‘Products’ mode, printing capabilities allow you to produce outputs for selected products (Profile-S2D and Profile-S3D only). The Transfer mode facilitates data transfer to USB or network locations, with options to copy programs, tools, and export DXF files for comprehensive project management.

When the product design and CNC program generation are finished, this data can be transferred in Transfer mode to e.g. a USB memory device.

In this mode there are 3 options:

product: Copy the program data to a specified directory.

product + tools: Copy the program data and used tooling data to a specified directory.

DXF product: Export the product including the bend deductions as a contour in a DXF file and copy it to a specified directory (Profile-S2D and Profile-S3D only).

Additionally other products besides the selected product, and other tools can be transferred as well.

Key Combinations for Efficient Navigation

Familiarize yourself with key combinations, such as <alt> + <enter> to toggle full-screen mode and <F11> to toggle the Windows title bar. These shortcuts enhance your efficiency when working with DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S.

This comprehensive guide aims to make you proficient in setting up and utilizing the DELEM DA-69S Profile-60S, ensuring that you can fully leverage its capabilities for optimized efficiency and precision in your operations.
