11.5.1 Creep Speed / Correction Stop

Creep speed (forward / backward) = slow speed

Distance to the target position at which the controller switches from slow speed to creep speed. The output slow speed will be switched off.

Correction Stop (forward) / Correction Stop (backward)

This parameter serves to compensate the overrun distance from the switch-off point of the motor to standstill.

Example: The target position is overrun by 0.2 mm constantly. The data entry has to be 2. The stop command is thus moved forward by 0.2 mm.

During first start-up, the stop offset is set first to "0" in order to be able to calibrate the overrun accurately. For an exact positioning the stop offset should be as small as possible (0.0 … 0.2 mm) i.e. the mechanical friction should be steady over the entire retract distance and the slow speed and/or creep speed must be accordingly small adjusted. The value in register slow speed must be larger than in creep speed.

Example: Positioning with 1 speed

In principle, the following applies when setting the speeds:

Creep speed = Correction stop

REMARK!

The tolerance window should be set to zero before starting to operate.

11.5.2 Tolerance Window

The tolerance window is reached when the actual value is equal to the target value ± parameter "Tolerance Window". If an axis is within the tolerance window, it is not moved when a new start command is issued. The respective “Tolerance Zone” output of the axis is also set when the tolerance window is reached.

11.5.3 Manipulation

The manipulation window is used to adjust the actual value. If the actual value is within the target value ± parameter "Manipulation", the actual value is equated with the target value. The real target value remains stored in the background, because only the display is manipulated (thus no positioning errors will add up).

Example: Entered Value = 0.2 mm (i.e. Tolerance Window ± 0.2 mm)

11.5.4 Spindle Compensation

To compensate for spindle tolerances, the target position must always be approached from the same direction, i.e. in one direction the target position is exceeded by the value set here. After expiration of the backlash dwell time that was entered in register Menu  Times  Spindle Compensation, the axis moves back to the target position.

11.5.5 Forced Loop

If during absolute positioning the target value is within the range ± value of the “forced loop” window, a forced loop is run.

11.5.6 Reference Value

A reference value resp. reference position can be specified here.

11.5.7 Retract Length

Depending on the selected retract mode, the axis is moved by the value "Retract Length". The retract function is controlled by the internal automatic cutting machine.

11.5.8 End Position Min/ Max

These two values can be used if there are no mechanical limit switches available or in addition to existing mechanical limit switches.

The minimum software end position should be between the smallest length/position to be machined and 0 (or shortly before the mechanical limit switch).

The maximum software end position should be between the largest length/position to be machined and the maximum length (or shortly before the mechanical limit switch).

If one of these two values is reached, the positioning procedure is interrupted.

11.7.1 Velocity

The maximum speed per minute for positioning is defined here. The speed is measured via the rotary encoder (0 ... 10000 rpm). If there is a transmission between the motor and the rotary encoder (e.g. by a gear or a spindle), the transmission ratio must be taken into account for the number of revolutions.

11.7.2 Acceleration

The acceleration during positioning in revolutions per second squared (

) is set in this parameter.

The number of pulses of the measuring system per revolution of the motor is set here in order to be able to calculate the nominal speed (maximum 9999 pulses per revolution).

11.7.4 P-Portion

Proportional amplification: setting range 1 … 3000

General:

The P-element consists exclusively of a proportional part and thus has an amplifying property. The P-component multiplies the input value by a constant factor.

P40T:

In case of control deviation, the difference between target and actual value is multiplied by the value set here and output as a voltage component. The higher the proportional amplification, the more sensitive (possibly also unstable) the control loop becomes.

Service Mode / Parameter Level

- 41 -

11.7.5 I-Portion / I-Limit

Integral step: setting range 1 … 1000

General:

An I-controller (integrating controller) determines the output value by integrating the control deviation with weighting by the reset time. A continuous control deviation therefore leads to a further increase of the control output. The reset time determines how large this time influence is. The maximum reset value is limited by the Ilimit. The step response of the I-component is a linear increase. This means that with a constant control deviation, the integral increases and thus this component increases.

P40T:

In case of control deviation, the analog control voltage is increased stepwise until the target/actual difference equals zero or until the I-limit set in the register is reached. The larger the I-component, the slower becomes the control loop.

11.7.6 D-Portion

Differential voltage: setting range 1 … 1000

General:

The D-controller (differential controller) determines the output value from the time derivative of the control deviation.

P40T:

In case of control deviation, a short voltage pulse proportional to the rate of change is output in order to compensate this quickly - without permanently endangering the control loop stability. The level of the voltage pulse is set (max. ± 10 V).

11.7.7 Manual Fast

Here the fast speed can be set for moving the axes in manual mode.

11.11.1 Preparations for Activation of the Sheet Support

1. Please check whether the software is V2.13 or higher has been installed

2. The inputs and outputs must be assigned

(see also  11.17 Functional and Logical Assignment of Input-/Output Functions).

Inputs:

Sheet Support may have 2 or 3 positions:

 if you assign the Input "support is up" and "support is down", you define a 2-position-sheet-support

 if you assign in addition the Input "support in middle", you define a 3-position-sheet-support

Outputs:

Also the Outputs “support up” and “support down” must be assigned

3. To activate the sheet support in Single- and Program-Mode, the button “Sheet Support”

(see  11.15 Soft Keys) must be used.

4. Define the time parameter “support delay” ( 11.11 Sub Menu Times System). This is the time that

must elapse between the start of the cutting process and moving the sheet support. It should be long

enough that the down holder just acts.

5. In addition you can define the time parameter “support hold down” ( 11.11 Sub Menu Times Sys-

tem). This is the time that must elapse (after the cutter bar has moved up again) before the sheet sup-

port is returned to its initial position.

11.11.2 Using Sheet Support in Single and Program Mode

1. Press button “Soft Key” (see also section  10.1 Single Mode)

2. Now you can: a. switch ON / OFF a 2-position-support b. use a 3-position-support with 2 (up/down) or 3 (up/middle/down) positions or switch off.

3. In order to bring the Sheet Support in position, press “START”.

4. When all axes are in position, the P40T is ready to cut (with sheet support and if chosen with retract

function).

11.15.1 Conveyor Belt

Function:

The output “conveyor belt” is set if:

1. The function is activated by soft key in single or program mode

2. The cutter bar is in the Top Dead Center

Since the state is not saved, the conveyor belt function must be reactivated each time the single or program mode is selected.

11.15.2 Autocut

Function in Single Mode:

If the Autocut function is activated and the "Start cut" input is set continuously (e.g. by a foot pedal), a new cut is triggered after the cut has been completed until either the defined quantity is reached or the "Start cut" input is reset.

Function in Program Mode:

In program mode, the cut must be retriggered for each data set. A data set is processed in the same way as in single mode. When the end of the program is reached, the shear also stops.

The time between two cuts can be set in both operating modes via the parameter "Delay Autocut" in the menu Service- Cutting.

11.15.3 Backgauge Park Position

Function: When this function is activated, the backgauge is moved to the parking position. The corresponding position is entered in the menu Service  Soft-Keys  parkposition.

The activated function is displayed in color at the soft key. Pressing START deactivates the "Backgauge park position" function and moves the back gauge to the specified target position.

11.15.4 Support (Sheet Support)

Activates the soft key "Sheet Support". Refer to  11.11.1 /  11.11.2 /  11.11.3 for respective functions.

11.15.5 RTO

Activation of the “RTO” soft key. Only with activated “Sheet Support” possible.

Function of the soft key in single or program mode:

 Soft key RTO activated  A cut is made  Support above  Sheet thickness and length within the specified range  Button RTO activated  As long as the button is pressed, the sheet is pushed forward with the back gauge,

but maximum over the length entered in the parameters.

11.15.6 Position Value Park Position

Position to which the stop is moved if the function „Backgauge park position“ is activated ( 11.15.3).

11.15.7 Scrap Shaft

If the Scrap Shaft option is activated, the scrap shaft can be activated in single and program mode. The corresponding output is simply switched ON or OFF.

In this table the material-specific empirical values regarding cutting angle, cutting gap and cutting pressure can be entered. When processing one or more blocks, only the material type (material No.) and the sheet thickness must be entered.

Input of values:

 Switch to material list.  Designation of material (input designation, clear text)  Switch to material table.  Set values by touching and input of data.

If "0" is entered in the sheet thickness column, this is recognized as the end of the table and subsequent entries are ignored.

11.16.1 Explanation of the Interpolation Procedure

Since only a limited number of values in 0.1mm steps can be stored in this table, the values in between are interpolated. The calculation of the intermediate steps is based on a linear behavior of the values for angle and gap between two successive material thicknesses.

Example:

The values marked in red are fixed in the material table. Now a value for the material thickness of 2.5 mm is to be loaded. For a better overview, only the calculation for the gap value is illustrated in this example. The intermediate steps for the angle are calculated according to the same principle.

Table 3: Interpolation Procedure

As you can see from the blue line in the right diagram, the intermediate step 0.25 is now calculated for the gap.

11.17 Functional and Logical Assignment of Input-/Output Functions

The input and outputs of the controller are set with functions (see chapter  12 Connections).

In this menu item you can define whether the corresponding input/output function is to be triggered at a logical HIGH level or at a logical LOW level. The logic is assigned by selecting the desired connector (ST) and touching the corresponding HIGH / LOW field.

In addition, an output test can be performed (see buttons "Output test activate/deactivate"). With regard to the output functions, it is also possible to activate the pressure and switch the individual outputs ON for test purposes by touching them. Repeated touching changes the status to OFF again.

Disturbances, Maintenance, Cleaning

- 73 -

CAUTION! The device, the connection line and the signal cable must not be installed next to sources of interference that emit strong inductive or capacitive interference or strong electrostatic fields.

External perturbations can be avoided thorough suitable cable routing.

The screen of the signal output cable should only be connected to the following circuit on one side. The screens should not be grounded on both sides. Signal cables always have to be routed separately from the load power line. A safety distance of at least 0.5 m has to be kept from inductive and capacitive sources of interference such as contactors, relays, motors, switching power supplies, clocked controllers etc.!

If interferences occur in spite of all the items stated above being observed, please proceed as follows:

1. Installation of RC-circuits via contactor coils of AC-contactors (e.g. 0.1 µF / 100 Ω)

2. Installation of recovery diodes via DC-inductors

3. Installation of RC-circuits via the different motor phases (in the terminal box of the motor)

4. Do not connect protective earth and ground

5. Connect a mains filter ahead of the external power pack

14 Disturbances, Maintenance, Cleaning

This chapter describes possible causes for disturbances and measures for their removal. In case of increased disturbances, please follow the measures for fault clearance in chapter 14.1.
