4 CONTROLLING THE BURNY 10 LCD PLUS

The BURNY comprises of two main functions preparing the part program to be cut and the cutting process. :

Preparing the part program – the part programs are either uploaded or created using the Shapes mode. The cutting process information is added, i.e. cutting speed, kerf etc. and the job is now ready to be cut.

Cutting the part - started and stopped using the physical controls on the Control Panel.

4.1 PART PROGRAMS AND JOB FILES The files that control the shape to be cut are of two types: A Part Program and a Job File.

A Part program contains the information required to construct a part such as dimensions, geometry information etc.

A Job is a file that contains both the Part Program information along with the operating conditions required to produce the part such as cut speed, kerf, geometric orientation, scaling, rotation, plate dimension and location, process type, process timers etc.

The operating conditions can be added to the part program via two screens – the Run Setup Screen (Run02) if the part is to be run immediately or the Job Setup Screen (Job04) where the operator can specify the federates, kerf etc. for a job that will be cut in the future.

4.2 DESCRIPTION OF MODES

Figure 6 - Main Menu Screen (Menu01)

The BURNY has 8 Operating Modes that can be selected from the Main Menu Screen. Each mode has its own set of screens to interact with the operator. More than one mode can be running simultaneously in this multi-tasking operating system.

6 OPERATION SEQUENCES

The following pages show simple flowcharts on the steps to follow for that particular area of the software. Each flowchart is accompanied by a table describing the functions and processes that occur at each step as identified by the stepmarker. The main route of screens is shown by following the bold connector line. Any sub-steps are shown as the dotted connector. To make the charts as simple as possible only the main features are described. Alongside each stepmarker in the table is the screen name and its function in bold text. For a comprehensive explanation of the system refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual.

The order of the flowcharts reflects a standard progression that an operator may follow:

Loads a part file from an external device into the BURNY.

The part is to be cut immediately, the Run mode is accessed, the cutting conditions set and cutting begins.

There may be a requirement to interrupt the cutting process to change the cutting tool.

As opposed to loading a pre-created part file the operator can create one using the Shapes mode

The data used to cut a part comprises of two sections – the details of the shape to be cut – know as the Part Program, and also the cutting conditions to be used i.e. federates, kerf dimensions etc. When the cutting conditions have been combined with the Part Program the file is called a Job. Jobs can be setup on the fly via the Run02 Screen, or they can be preconfigured using the Jobs mode – here the cutting conditions are defined and the part is added to the Jobs List in readiness to be cut.

The Edit mode is used to view and edit the cutting commands for the part.

To prevent the internal memory of the BURNY from becoming cluttered with files any unwanted part programs and jobs can removed using the Delete Mode.

For archival purposes part programs and job files can be stored to external storage devices such as floppy disks or network.

An extensive array of screens allow the BURNY to be configured to meet the operator’s individual requirements, these screens are accessed in the Utils (Utilities) mode. Frequently performed tasks are calibration of the Touch Screen, Shutdown of the BURNY control, setting display Languages and Homing of the cutting head curing system start up or after a power failure.

Utilities Mode

A number of features are available from the Utilities Screens – of interest are Homing, Shutting Down the system, selecting the operating Language and calibrating the Touch Screen display.

6.9.1 TOUCH SCREEN CALIBRATION The BURNY control utilizes a touch screen which allows the required options to be selected by pressing on the appropriate region on the screen. Basically the screen is divided up into a matrix with the computer detecting where on the matrix is pressed and the corresponding button on the screen. For various reasons the synchronization between the computer and the screen may drift to the point that when a button is pressed the computer thinks a different one was. If this occurs then run the Touch Screen Calibration.

Main Menu (Main01) From the Main Menu Screen select Utils.

T

Utilities Screen (Utils01) Select Touch Screen Calibration. Press Start. A series of X’s will appear on the screen…press where the X is located. After all the X’s have been pressed the calibration is complete. The screen will Time Out if no action is detected.

6.9.2 SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM The BURNY control has been programmed to follow a certain sequence of events during shutdown to ensure that the unit is turned off in a controlled manner. Consult the OEM documentation for complete shutdown procedures.

6.9.4 HOMING

The BURNY determines the position of the cutting head via feedback from position sensors attached to the x, y axes. When AC power to the control is lost, either intentionally (turning the unit off) or as a result of power failure, the position information is lost. When the power is re-applied a Homing procedure needs to be performed to allow the system to re-determine where the cutting head is. During Homing the cutting head is moved to a predetermined position during which “location” signals from the sensors are read.

Main Menu (Main01) From the Main Menu select Utils.

UtilHomes (UtilHome01) On the Homing Screen press OK and then at the prompt press the Cycle Start membrane control button.

The Homing method used on the machine is configured during installation. There are five main Homing methods available, one manual and four automatic:

Type 0 - Manual

Type 1 - Back Off Home Switch – then find encoder index

Type 2 - Back Off Home Switch – No encoder index used

Type 5 - Run Up Against A Hard Stop

C – Axis Homing (Optional)

To identify the Homing type currently configured follow the sequence of screens below:

Main Menu ⇒ Utilities ⇒ System Setup ⇒ Motion Configuration ⇒ Homing ⇒ HomingType


PAGE 37 OF 38

The following tables summarize each of the homing procedures. These descriptions are given for the X-axis of the machine since this involves the possible homing of the slave XX axis also. For machines that do not home the XX axis, or for the Y-axis, any references to Axis XX can be ignored and those steps in the table are skipped.

Type 0 —Manual Homing Home Type 0 establishes the home position at the current axis position.

Type Operation Description 0 No Automatic Home

Search Only Manual home operation allowed for the axis. No automatic functions will be performed. The operator jogs the torch to a pre-determined HOME position indicated by scribe marks on the rails. Manual Homing is performed to set that position as (0,0).

Type 1—Back off home switch --then find encoder index

Type Operation Description 1 Automatic Search

Allowed Switch Search Back off Index Search

Search for the home switch at Switch Search speed. Stop when switch detected and change to slower Index Search speed. Back off home switch and detect when switch clears. When switch clears, begin search for the axis encoder Index. Once index detected, set home 0,0 based on offset parameter. (X-Axis) If XX Home Enabled, continue backing away from X home switch till XX switch is cleared. (X-Axis) When XX switch is cleared, continue backing away till XX encoder index detected. (X-Axis) Once XX encoder index found, adjust XX axis position based on stored X to XX home location difference parameter. Move back to the axis index location.

Type 2—Back Off home switch – No encoder index used


Allowed Switch Search Back off

Search for the home switch at high Switch search speed. Stop when switch detected and change to slower Index Search speed. Back off home switch and detect when switch clears. Set home 0,0 based on offset parameter. (X-Axis) If XX Home Enabled, continue backing away from X home switch till XX switch is cleared. (X-Axis) When XX switch is cleared, adjust XX axis position based on stored X to XX home location difference parameter.

Type 5 – Run up against a hard stop


Allowed Move to Hard stop Switch determines speed of search

Begin moving toward hard stop location. Machine will move at higher Switch Search Speed if the X home switch is OFF (X-Axis). If home switch is detected as ON, reduce machine speed to the slower Index Search Speed Continue moving till machine runs up against a hard stop, or a drive over travel switch. (X-Axis) The XX axis will continue to move independently if enabled. (X-Axis) When both X and XX have reached the hard stop and motion has ceased, the home location will be set based on the X Home Offset parameter.
