1.4.2 Operating principle

The sensor records the actual position of a line or a contrast transition point on the material web in automatic mode and then transmits the relevant information to the interconnected controller. The controller compares the actual recorded position against the default set point position. A relevant correction signal will be sent to the guiding devices actuator if a deviation is found to exists between the two values. The actuator will drive the guiding device (rotating frame or swivelling roller guide) until the material web returns to its set point position. The CLS Pro 600 sensor can be used in the following configurations:

You are only allowed to open the sensor or other components if the power supplies have been switched off!

Requirements:

The web guiding system has been fully wired in, i.e. the cable connections between the specific web guiding components have been made.

The sensor is connected to the power supply.

The sensor switches (see 3.4 and 6.1.1) and the panel (see 6.1.2) have been set up for the appropriate application.

The following information window will be superimposed on the screen if the panel cannot make bus contract with the sensor:

The following are displayed:

The panels node number on the bus (Commander Node)

The synchronization status (SYNC)

The module status (Modulstate)

Whether the sensor has been detected on the bus (Sensor at ...)

Whether the terminator resistor has been set up (Resistor)

There must always be one sensor and one panel with corresponding nodes present on the bus (e.g. sensor = 41 and panel = 111) so that the system can work correctly.

If the sensor is not detected then this will be indicated, as the bus connection has not been made. Always check the connection cable and the plug in this case.

Furthermore, you can also read whether the terminator resistor has been set up correctly or not.

4.1 Menus 4.1.1 General information

Setting up and operating the sensor are menu-controlled processes. The menus differ between:

Main menu

Quick menu

Set-up mode All of the parameters that are needed to set up the sensor are included in the main menu. The structure is a hierarchal structure (see menu structure in Section 4.1.3.4). The parameters are user organized, i.e. you can assign any parameter to a user level. In this case only the parameter that the logged-on user has access rights to will be displayed (see Section 5.6 Expanded operation as well).

Parameters that are required for the respective application can be assembled in the quick menu. This gives you direct access. Assigning the quick menu is covered in Section 5.6.4.

Set-up mode enables you to set up the job specific parameters for the material and define the guiding mode (line / edge).

5. Operation

5.1 General information If the sensor will be used an integral part of a projected BST-eltromat system then the standard configuration has already been completed. However, the onsite set-up (line or edge) still has to be undertaken. If required or if necessary, you can:

a) Create a quick-menu

b) Create and save a job specific configuration.

The procedure for this part is given in Section 5.5 Standard operation.

If the sensor is changed onsite (with or without the panel) then a new component optimization is required. Parameter settings might have to be remade. Optimizing the specific parameters and their significances are described in Section 5.6 Expanded operation.

5.2 Operating display The CLS Pro 600 screen display depends on the mode that the sensor will be working in. We differentiate between set-up mode and scanning mode. The menu can be called up from either mode. However, access to the specific sub-menus is differs.

5.2.1 Set-up mode display window

The sensor settings are made via the guiding job in set-up mode. The parameters needed for the setting up will be displayed using graphic symbols and numerical values on the control panel screen. You will find the significances for the individual symbols in the following illustration.

5.4 Operation


Danger of cuts! Never touch the edges of moving material webs! You are only allowed to run set up when the production machine is stopped.

The guiding mode is determined and an automatic equalization to the characteristics of the material that has to be scanned is run during the set-up.

5.4.2 Activating line set-up / edge set-up

Use the set-up keys to select the type of set-up (line or edge) that you want to use.

Attention: Set-up can only be run when the controller is in MAN or SC mode.

5.5 Standard operation Certain settings, i.e. the so-called jobs, have been set up in the main menu for the current applications (e.g. slitter, etc.). All of the necessary basic settings will be implemented when the required job is selected. You only have to enter the necessary set-up (edge or line) for the work. The system is now ready for operation.

5.5.1 Selecting a job

Jobs are loaded via the \\parameter\jobs\choose job\load job menu. The following selection window will be displayed.

!

Operation 5

31


You can select between the jobs entered in the factory here. DEFAULT: Resets the default factory settings

COLORED LINE: These settings are used when a colored line has to be tracked and it lies in a field with changing conditions.

SMALL LINES: This setting must be used if lines with a width of less than 0.5 mm have to be scanned.

STRICT CHECK: Select this setting if very constant measuring and printing conditions are present, regardless of whether there is a lot of noise present in the field. In this case the system will block it relatively quickly, but the danger of latching on to contrast caused by noise is minimal. Use, for example, if there are large breaks in the line (ratio between the broken and usable signal > 20%).

VERY TOLERANT: Select this setting if extremely poor measuring conditions are present (uneven web running, changing print quality, etc.) but no noise spikes. The number of blocking actions undertaken will be kept to a minimum in this case. Use, for example, when the color of the edge being scanned changes frequently or if the print in alignment mode is uneven.

If you are unable to enter any of these settings for your application you can use the relevant settings to create your own jobs. The procedure is described in Section 5.6.2. If you have changed over to set-up mode or if the set-up line or set-up edge keys are pressed again in set-up mode, then the currently loaded job will be displayed on the screen for 2 seconds. If it is not displayed, then the system will be operated using the machine default values or manual modified parameters, which have not been assigned to a job.

Area-Tracking

If the conditions are present, as shown in the example, then the displayed pre-selection will be used for the standard settings.

This can result in the controller producing unclean web guiding, due to the unevenness of LK1.

The Area-Tracking will have to be used in this case. Only one edge (LK2) will be tracked, but this will be compared by checking the color of an area alongside the edge. This will enable the noise spikes to be suppressed and prevent the system from jumping around. LK1 can no longer be included, as the search area has been reduced. The search area is displayed here.

We recommend that the setting is made so that the left edge of the search area lies approx. over half of the smallest point in the line. The area that has to be checked must always lie on the side of the edge on which the crosshairs lie. The panel display will look as follows:

If the search area is enlarged then the are that has to be checked will be enlarged automatically. Normal line tracking using two edges will be resumed automatically as soon as a second edge is detected inside the search area.

5.6 Extended operation The system parameters are saved in the main menu. The menu structure is shown in Section 4.1.3.4.

You can run the required optimization from here if the pre-configured settings cannot be fully used for a specific type of machine.

The settings must be entered in set-up mode.

The significances of the specific parameters are described in the following.

5.6.1 Change user

Use this parameter to assign or change the user level in a dialog window. Different setting up options are available, but they depend on the user level. Which parameter a user can adapt and which functions he can use are defined in the configuration menu (see Configuration section). Assignments have already been set-up in the factory (see factory default settings). However, the system should be created so that the user only has to log on as the administrator, in order to run a complete commissioning process. Implement any relevant adaptations necessary when you assign user levels to the specific parameters (see Section 5.6.3). The procedure for selecting the user levels is described in the following, e.g. for commissioning or operating.

1. Mark the change user entry and press ENTER to confirm it.

2. Define the user levels in the following dialog window. The following are available for use:

Use the left / right arrow keys in automatic mode to set up the W-value. The size of the adjustment made each time a key is pressed is defined by this parameter. If an arrow key is kept held down for 350 ms then a new 150 ms adjustment step will be introduced automatically. If the arrow key is kept held down for longer than the time defined in the time to increase step width parameter it will switch over to the adjustment step width defined in the fast step width of guiding position parameter.

Setting options: 0.01 mm 0.02 mm 0.05 mm 0.10 mm 0.20 mm 0.50 mm 1.00 mm

Pre-adjustment: 0.05 mm

fast step width of guiding position:

You can define the adjustment step width here after which it will switch over from the time to increase step width parameter if the arrow key is kept held down for longer than the defined time. It will reset back to the smallest adjustment step width automatically when the arrow key is released.

Setting options: 0.01 mm 0.02 mm 0.05 mm 0.10 mm 0.20 mm 0.50 mm 1.00 mm

Pre-adjustment: 0.2 mm

time to increase step width:

Use this parameter to define the time until it switches over to the biggest step width.

Setting options: off 0.5 s 1.0 s 1.5 s 2.0 s 2.5 s 3.0 s 3.5 s 4.0 s 4.5 s

mounting position The sensors mounting position is

defined in this sub-menu and the different configurations are also set up here.

select: Use the select parameter to select a pre-configured mounting position. You can select from 4 different mounting positions in principle, but mounting position A is the standard setting and mounting positions B D are optional and these must be activated before you can use them.

configuration: Use the configuration parameter to configure the selected mounting position. The same configuration content and procedure is used for all of the mounting positions.

The procedure is described in detail in connection with the start up with controller connected.

5.7.2 Parameter

The parameters that apply to the measuring process are assembled in this section of the main menu. Significances and procedures for the individual settings are described below. jobs The job administration procedure is described in detail in

Section 5.6.2. illumination The parameters that apply to the lighting are set

up in this sub-menu. time [ms]: Use this parameter to set up the CCD line

illumination time. This affects the control measuring cycle time. If a value of > 2 ms is selected, then no more details can be selected, e.g. slightly broken lines.


internal: Use this parameter to configure the bright field illumination. The settings are set up automatically in the standard application. If a reasonable value cannot be set up in automatic mode, e.g. due to the expected different illumination situations (undulating, smooth material), then automatic will be switched off and the required value can be set up using the brightness parameter.

brightness

Setting range: 0 100 %

0% means that the bright field illumination is switched off. 100% means maximum brightness. automatic

destination Use this parameter to set up over- or underexposure for the relevant area in automatic mode. These settings can also be used for weak colors inside a light background.

Setting range: 0 300%

Pre-adjustment: 100% (i.e. no overexposure)

contrast detection

The parameters that apply to the contrast detection are set up in this sub-menu.

quality: Use this parameter to set up the lower contrast

search threshold. This setting is only available when the auto adjustment parameter is switched off. Determining the search threshold can be helpful when, for example, a contrast that varies considerably is present.

Setting range: 10 100

Pre-adjustment: Automatic

A 10 setting is used to detect weak contrasts and a 100 setting is used for detecting good contrasts

auto adjustment:

Switches the automatic determining of the contrast detection search threshold on and off.

Setting options: ON / OFF Pre-adjustment ON

min. line width:

This parameter is used to define the minimum width and it is needed to ensure that the system detects a line as a line. Setting a high value will prevent noise being generated by high-contrast scratches, etc. A smaller value can be set up if very small lines are detected reliably.

Settings: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 & 0.5 mm Default setting: 0.3 mm

plausibility check: This sub-menu includes the parameter that will be

used to check the plausibility. This is described below.

edge color

This parameter defines the type of color checks to be used for edge scanning. The details of how the color will be checked always refer to the screen display. Setting options: all off right side only left side only

Pre-adjustment: all

edge intensity

This parameter defines the type of intensity checks to be used for edge scanning. The details of how the color will be checked always refer to the screen display.

Setting options: all off right side only left side only

Pre-adjustment: off

line color

This parameter defines the type of color checks to be used for line scanning. It describes which color will be checked. Setting options:

all = color checks the right side, the left side and the line

off = no color checks

only left side = color checks run on the left side only

only right side = color checks run on the right side only

only line = only the line color will be checked

only not line = color checks the right side and the left side but not the line Default setting: only line

line intensity

This parameter defines the type of intensity checks to be used for line scanning. The details of how the color will be checked always refer to the screen display.

Setting options: all off only right side only left side only line only not line

Pre-adjustment: only line

edge polarity

Use this parameter to define whether a polarity test will be run or not. We recommend that this parameter is always switched on. Switching off is only makes sense if an object with changing colors has to be scanned.


Pre-adjustment: ON

edge sharpness

Use this parameter to define whether the contrast transfer point sharpness (slope) has to be checked.


Pre-adjustment: OFF environment

The system will check the gap to the next contrast on the left and right alongside the contrast that has to be scanned during edge scanning. If the function is switched then blocking will be released again after an interruption when the gap corresponds to, is larger than or is missing when compared to beforehand. If a contrast that lies closer to the contrast being scanned is detected, blocking will remain in place.


Pre-adjustment: ON

contrast quality

Use this parameter to define whether the contrast strength has to be checked or not. This must remain stabile over the measuring process.


Pre-adjustment: OFF

See line color for the significance

adaption settings

Use this sub-menu to set up how the plausibility check will be run using the comparable values.

general balancing:

Use this parameter to define the weighting that will be applied with the new valid measurements for the marked respective reference. The parameter is only effective when used with an ekrPro Com

60 in automatic mode.

Setting options: off = no weighting 2 values 4 values 8 values 16 values 32 values 64 values 128 values 256 values

Pre-adjustment: 256 values A new comparison value must be determined as follows for the default setting of 256 values:

color: This parameter defines whether the color comparison value should be guided.


Pre-adjustment: ON

contrast: This parameter defines whether the search

contrast threshold should be guided. This parameter is only active if contrast detection /auto adjustment is switched on.


Pre-adjustment: ON

edge sharpness: This parameter defines whether the contrast sharpness should be guided.


Pre-adjustment: ON

line width: This parameter defines whether the line width should be guided.


Pre-adjustment: ON
