Preface and general information

1.3 General information about the prepared solution

Lenze's prepared solutions are designed to help users implement complex drive functions in
practical applications. Prepared solutions are supplied with the complete functionality of a
machine unit (core functionality plus peripheral functionality) and can be put into operation
quickly by performing just a few steps.

Firstly, this manual describes the basics of the application supported by the prepared solution.
This familiarises the user with the fundamental features of the system and provides the user
with the requisite basic understanding for installing and starting up the prepared solution and
adapting it to meet the needs of his or her application.

Secondly, it provides detailed information about specific technical features (e.g. it lists the
necessary components, user parameters and variables, describes the installation and start-up
process step by step, along with diagnostics and fault elimination) in order to facilitate the rapid
application of the prepared solution.

Preface and general information

1.4 Functional range and variants

Prepared solutions essentially comprise a variety of files which provide users with a basis for
their applications (the files used will vary depending on the application in question). Two
variants of prepared solutions are available: In the parameterisable variant
solution reduces installation and start-up times to an absolute minimum with predefined
interfaces and functions. The programmable variant
adaptations to specific customer requirements. Corresponding control and status interfaces are
available in accordance with whether the user is working with the parameterisable or the
programmable variant.

Preface and general information

1.4.1 Parameterisable variant

In the parameterisable variant, all basic functions and the selection of interface signals are set
solely via parameters (codes). This provides the user with a standardised predefined interface.
Typical signal wirings, terminal assignments, interfaces to data bus systems, etc. can be
selected via parameters (codes). This means that the parameterisable variant of the prepared
solution can reduce installation and start-up times to a minimum without restricting the
functionality of the prepared solution:

When using a prepared solution, the system is configured entirely using code (parameter­setting interface). The functions of the individual codes used in the context of parameter setting
are listed in Chapter

6.2.1.

 Prepared Solution Servo PLC / ECSxA 1.1 EN 1-7

1.4.2 Programmable variant

The programmable variant supports the functional range of the parameterisable variant but also
allows the user to adapt the prepared solution program on the basis of IEC61131 (e.g. in
respect of the definition of interfaces, adaptation in the external signal flow, etc.) or to add more
user-specific program sections. This means that the prepared solution can be adapted
specifically to meet individual customer requirements. Furthermore, the resources of the target
platform can be put to optimum use without affecting core functionality.

Cross Cutter

Preface and general information



= Internal program sections of the prepared solution

= Sections of the prepared solution which can be edited by the user

In the programmable variant, the user is entirely free to both configure the signal flow outside
the core function and change/adapt/expand existing program sections of the prepared solution
(e.g. error handling). The interface between program sections containing the core functionality
and between user program sections, as well as between system blocks, is provided by global
variables (similar to the technique used in software package templates). The meanings of the
global interface variables are listed in Chapter

Note!

The core functionality of the prepared solution cannot be accessed by the user in either variant.
This is a deliberate feature designed to prevent malfunctions being programmed or monitoring
mechanisms disabled unintentionally.

Variable names

The conventions used by Lenze for the variable names of its system blocks, function blocks and
functions are based on what is known as "Hungarian Notation". This allows you to identify the
most important properties (e.g. the data type) of a variable immediately by means of its name,
e.g. DIGIN_bIn1_b.

You will find information about the conventions in the appendix of the DDS Online
documentation "Introduction to IEC1131-3 programming”.

Figure 1: Typical structure of a cross-cutter application

The prepared solution is able to support applications in which continuous material is cut to
length in defined cutting lengths. A fundamental distinction is drawn between asynchronous and
synchronous cross cutters. In the prepared solution, the asynchronous cross cutter can be used
for cutting lengths shorter than or equivalent to the cutting circle circumference. The
synchronous cross cutter can be used for all cutting lengths shorter than or longer than the
cutting circle circumference.

Selecting a cutting length x
considered to be a special case. In this situation, the speed of the knife drum can fall to values
less than zero, causing the knife drum to move in opposition to the direction of material flow:

There are a variety of mathematical transfer functions for the motion characteristic in the
asynchronous section (see, e.g. VDI 2143). The prepared solution only takes account of
second order polynomials (linear speed ramps), fifth order polynomials and the sloping sine

Features of the "Cross Cutter" prepared solution

In some cases, this effect may be desirable in order to reduce the dynamics of the knife drum

In most cases, movement in opposition to the material flow is not permissible. In order to avoid

2.3 Functional application criteria for the parameterisable variant

In order to enable you to check the compatibility of the prepared solution for your application
and estimate its usefulness, a list of decision-making criteria and limiting conditions to which the
use of the prepared solution is subject appears below.

How do you intend to process the material?

Continuous cutting: You intend to cut panels of material to the same length continuously;
the cutting length can be varied at will and the new cutting length applied once the
calculation is complete. This operation is supported by the prepared solution.

Cross Cutter

Are the combinatorial options sufficient for your application case?

Various combinatorial options can be considered for the use of the cross cutter depending
on the application.

1. Length-controlled operation: In this operating mode the material to be cut has no

print marks and the required cutting length is determined solely by the calculated
motion profile. In this operating mode, the cross cutter can be changed over when idle
and during operation.

2. Mark-controlled operation, without print-mark suppression: In this operating

mode the cross cutter works with mark control and higher-level length control. A mark
is made on the material wherever a cut needs to be made. In this operating mode, the
cross cutter can be changed over when idle and during operation.

Cross Cutter

3. Mark-controlled operation, with print-mark suppression: In this operating mode,

the cross cutter works with mark control and higher-level length control. A mark is
made on the material wherever a cut needs to be made. Other marks which have to be
ignored by the system appear before and after the print mark relevant for the cut. In
this operating mode, the cross cutter can be changed over when idle. However, it
cannot be changed over from operating status to idle state!

4. Mark-controlled operation, with multiple cuts (divisions) between two print
marks: In this operating mode the print-mark distance between print marks is a

multiple of the required cutting length. The cross cutter works with mark control and
higher-level length control. In this operating mode, the cross cutter can be changed
over when idle and during operation.

5. Mark-controlled operation, with multiple cuts between two print marks and
print-mark suppression: In this operating mode the print-mark distance is a

multiple of the required cutting length. Other marks which have to be ignored
also appear in between the relevant print marks. The prepared solution does not
support this type of operation!

Is your application able to support the following physical requirements?

The following essential issues affecting design and configuration will have a bearing on

knives on the knife drum)

 Maximum number of cycles on the system
 Maximum possible speed of the cross-cutter drum
 Maximum possible material speed

The required cutting length and required number of cycles may result in a speed which the
cross-cutter drive is unable to support. Codes C3686 to C3689 indicate the maximum
speed of a cutting profile for a specific cutting length.

Is your application able to support this process sequence?

2.4 Machine parameters

The machine parameters define the relationship prevailing between the user's measuring
system and the incremental measuring system (the controller's internal measuring system).
Where the user's measuring system is concerned, a distinction is drawn between slave units
([s_units]) and master units ([m_units]). The cross-cutter drum's measuring system is provided
by the slave units. In this context, slave units are usually scaled in degrees. The feed axis'
measuring system is provided by the master units which, depending on the application, might
be scaled in [mm] or [inches]. The relationship between a motor revolution and a feed motion in
the user's measuring system is established by means of the following variables:

• Feed constant: This indicates the number of application units by which the load will move

forward when the drive completes a full revolution at the gearbox output end. It is usually
specified in [units/rev].

Cross Cutter

Example
scaled in [mm/revolution].

• Gearbox ratio, divided into numerator and denominator: Both the numerator and the

denominator are usually specified as integers (corresponding to the number of teeth in the
gearbox stages).

• Resolution of a motor revolution: Internally, the ServoPLC resolves a motor revolution into

65536 (=2

The conversion between the two measuring systems can be carried out with knowledge of
these mechanical machine constants by applying the following formulae:

a) Conversion of application units [units] into incremental units [incr.]:

The Prepared Solution 'Cross Cutter' offers different ways to reposition on the motion profile. Regarding this,
three different modes are made available to the user. The tool can either be repositioned on the motion
profile on the shortest way possible, in clockwise (cw) or counter-clockwise (ccw) direction. The repositioning
mode in one direction only (cw or ccw) must be used whenever it is only allowed to move the tool in one
direction only.

2.5.2 Start and Stop Cross Cutter Operation

Start and stop the cross cutter operation is done with the application control word. With
application control word bit 14 the cross cutter operation is started or stopped. By starting cross
cutter operation (application control word bit 14 = TRUE) the cross cutter is moving in its basic
position (C3694), if it isn’t already there. When the cross cutter reaches this position the status
switches to Cam Operation (C3505=50). From this basic position (C3694) the cross cutter starts
movement with the start cam and accelerate from speed zero up to line speed, so that the cross
cutter is synchronous to line speed during the cut. The speed of the cross cutter is a result of
the start cam profile and the incoming line speed and is not dependent on an acceleration ramp.
This means, that there is no movement of the cross cutter as long as there is line speed zero.
To stop the cross cutter operation the application control word bit 14 have to set to FALSE. By
doing this the last started cut of the cross cutter will be finished and then the cross cutter runs
on the stop cam from line speed to speed zero and stops in the basic position, where he
switches to status Standby (C3505=10). To stop the cross cutter with application control word
bit 14 it is necessary that the incoming line speed is bigger then zero. This is necessary
because otherwise the cross cutter can’t come in its basic position via the stop cam. Is the
incoming line speed zero and the cross cutter should be stopped and should come to status
Standby (C3505=10) it is possible to abort the cross cutter operation with application control
word bit 24 = TRUE. To abort the cross cutter operation the line speed should be zero otherwise
there is a possibility of jerk and of a follow error trip.
The basic position of the cross cutter depends on the number of knives and on the cutting angle
size φ. Since the basic position is indicated under code C3694, the user does not need to
calculate it. However, if desired the basic position of the cross cutter could be calculated by
means of the following formula:

It is recommended to stop the cross cutter at the basic position when homing has been
completed. As a result, the cross cutter does not move during lock to cam operation. The

2.5.3 Cross-cutter operating modes

Continuous cutting

In "Continuous cutting" mode, the cross cutter works in continuous mode and makes cuts to a
specific cutting length in accordance with the values previously set until the user stops the
cutting process or sets a different cutting length. A dedicated calculation block is available for
calculating the motion profiles for the cutting process. Two basic cams are reserved for
calculating cutting lengths in "Continuous cutting" mode. This ensures that the user can be
calculating a new cutting length in the background whilst continuing to cut to a different cutting
length. Once the new cutting length has been calculated, the corresponding motion cam can be
preselected with the calculated functions and replace the old cutting length as soon as the
current cut has been completed. "Continuous cutting" mode can be both length-controlled and

Test operation

The user can use the test cut to cut a material sample. This sample can then be used to check
cut quality and material characteristics. Furthermore, it provides a means of determining the
dimensional accuracy of the cut. A dedicated calculation block is available for calculating motion
profiles for test operation. Two basic cams are reserved for calculating test cutting lengths in
"Test operation". This ensures that the user can be calculating a new test cutting length in the
background whilst continuing to cut to a different test cutting length. Once the new test cutting
length has been calculated, the corresponding motion cam can be preselected with the
calculated functions and replace the old test cutting length as soon as the current cut has been
completed. This means that the user can define parameters for the test cut separately from
other parameters for normal operation. "Test operation" can only be length-controlled (see
Chapter 2.5.6). You can switch from "Continuous cutting" and "Reject operation" to "Test
operation" without first having to stop the system. This means that it is possible to cut a test
piece from the material flow during operation. You must stop the system first in order to switch
to "Test operation" from "Asynchronous cross cutter" mode.

Reject operation

In practice, sections of material have to be cut into small pieces in order to be disposed of, for
example, in a waste container. Reject operation of this type is required when threading new
material or cutting out damaged sections of material. Here too, the user is once again able to
define parameters for this application separately. A dedicated calculation block is available for
calculating motion profiles for reject operation. Two basic cams are reserved for calculating
reject cutting lengths in "Reject operation" mode. This ensures that the user can be calculating a
new reject cutting length in the background whilst continuing to cut to a different reject cutting
length. Once the new reject cutting length has been calculated, the corresponding motion cam
can be preselected with the calculated functions and replace the old reject cutting length as
soon as the current cut has been completed. "Reject operation" mode can only be length­controlled (see Chapter 2.5.6). You can switch from "Continuous cutting" and "Test operation" to
"Reject operation" without first having to stop the system. This means that it is possible to cut
reject sections from the material flow during operation. You must stop the system first in order to
switch to "Reject operation" from "Asynchronous cross cutter" mode. The system activates
reject gate control as soon as "Reject operation" is selected (see Chapter

Cross Cutter

2.5.12).

 Prepared Solution Servo PLC / ECSxA 1.1 EN 2-22

Features of the "Cross Cutter" prepared solution

Asynchronous cross cutter

"Asynchronous cross cutter" mode is a separate operating mode. It is frequently used when
very short material lengths need to be cut at a very high line speed. However, at the same time,
provision must also be made to ensure that the cut is made in asynchronism with the line
speed. In the prepared solution the maximum cutting length is limited to the cutting circle
circumference of the cross-cutter drum. This ensures that the cut is not made at an
undersynchronous speed at which the material to be cut would jam. This means that the
material is only ever cut at synchronous or oversynchronous speed. Unlike the scenario on the
synchronous cross cutter, the required cutting length is not modified by calculating a motion
profile. Instead, the master value is evaluated with an appropriate factor. The motion profile is
provided by a basic cam which runs through at a faster or slower rate in accordance with cutting
length (however, its speed will never drop below that of the line speed itself). This results in the
longest cutting length of the asynchronous cross cutter being equivalent to the cutting circle
circumference of the knife drum. The typical motion characteristics of an asynchronous cross
cutter are presented in Chapter
cutter" mode and switching over to a different mode can cause a speed step change in the
master value, measures have been put in place to prevent direct switching to or from this mode.
You must stop the system first if you wish to switch from "Asynchronous cross cutter" mode to
"Continuous cutting", "Test operation" and "Reject operation". To change the cutting length in
asynchronous mode, you must first stop the cross cutter in order to avoid a speed step change.

2.5.4 ManualJog

In ManualJog the drive/tool can be moved by means of manual operator inputs. This type of
operation may be required, for example, to clean or change a tool.
In this context it is important that when functioning in manual mode, the drive moves in "inching
mode" but does not follow the cam (or motion profile). ManualJog movement is not determined
by the motion profile (cam) but follows linear speed curves independently of the profile. In this
operating mode, a master value entry and the cam function will have no effect on drive motion.
In ManualJog, the g_bGlobalError global variable is evaluated. Setting the g_bGlobalError
global variable to TRUE during ManualJog in a positive or negative direction will stop the drive
on the quick stop ramp. By resetting the error (g_bGlobalError=FALSE) the drive direct start
moving in the selected direction as long as there is a signal for manual movement. There is no
new positiv edge necessary to restart the manual movement.

The following can be used as home mark signals:

• Zero pulse (signal edge from encoder system for position actual value, one per

motor revolution)

• Touch probe (signal edge at corresponding touch-probe input of PLC)

• A preliminary stop position can be set via a homing switch. In this case, home will be the

next zero position of the actual value encoder on the motor or the next touch probe
(depending on the selected mode).

The following homing modes can be selected:

• Homing mode 0:

The drive rotates in a positive direction (clockwise rotation) until the homing switch's negative
edge is detected. The next zero pulse from the motor feedback system determines the home
position (machine zero point).
If you do not wish the home position to be the zero point of the absolute measuring system
used, you can use an offset value (machine zero distance, C3626/000) to set the home
position to the zero point of the measuring system. Once homing is complete the drive will
stop at position 0.000[s_units]:

If you do not wish homing to end at the measuring system zero point, you can in addition
preset an end position to come after homing (homing target position, C3627/000). This

Figure 13: Graph of homing mode 4

In the example illustrated above, the home position has a positive value with reference to the
measuring system zero point, because once the zero pulse/touch-probe signal has been
detected, the drive continues to move in a negative direction to the measuring system zero
point (0.0000[s_units]).

If you do not wish homing to end at the measuring system zero point, you can in addition
preset an end position to come after homing (homing target position, C3627/000). This
provides the requisite conditions for setting the measuring system zero point outside the
drive's traversing range.

In principle, the sequence is the same as for homing mode 4, but with the direction of
rotation reversed.

TIP!
The home position can be set both with the zero pulse from the feedback system and using

a touch-probe signal, derived from digital input (I4 using Servo PLC and I2 using ECS).
However, this is not standard practice for modes 4 and 5.

TIP!

If a value of 345° is written to C3626 (position of the homing switch) and 165° to C3627
(target position after homing), the drive will first move in a positive direction to the homing
switch before reversing in order to position itself at the target position after homing (165°).
To prevent the drive reversing, write a value of -15° to C3626 instead of 345° (the drive will
then move in a positive direction to the homing switch before continuing in a positive
direction to 165° (C3627)).

Set home position

The homing should always end at the basic position of the cross cutter. As a result, the
cross cutter does not move during lock to cam operation. The basic position of the cross
cutter, i.e. the position where the cross cutter starts and stops, is displayed in code C3694.
This value can then be entered in code C3627 (target position of the tool after homing). The
calculation of the basic position and further important aspects concerning the cross cutter
motion profile are dealt with in chapter

The prepared solution cross cutter provides the option to set the home position. This function is
for example required when absolute value encoders are used. Please proceed as follows to set
the home position:

• Inhibit the controller (CINH).

• Align the cross cutter drum in such a way that the knife is in basic position (C3694). See

chapter

2.5.7 Simple positioning

Users can use the Simple positioning mode to approach any position on the knife drum.
Possible applications involving simple positioning on the cross cutter include approaching the
knife change position or knife idle position. Four modes are available to the user for such
applications:

• Approach target position via shortest route

• Approach target position clockwise

• Approach target position counter clockwise

• Relative positioning

The "Simple positioning" operating mode is not determined by the motion profile (cam) but
follows linear ramps independently of the profile. In this operating mode, a master value entry
and the cam function will have no effect on drive motion.

2.5.8 Length-controlled or mark-controlled operation

The "Cross Cutter" prepared solution supports both length-controlled and mark-controlled
operation.

Length-controlled operation:

Synchronous cross cutter:

Cross Cutter

In length-controlled operation on the synchronous cross cutter, motion profiles are calculated
online in the target system
calculated online in the target system and not in advance on a PC (e.g. using the CamDesigner
software tool), the motion profile can be quickly adapted to meet the needs of the user. In rotary
cross-cutter applications where (in theory) an infinite number of cutting lengths are possible in
particular, the number of motion profiles required usually exceeds the number of motion profiles
that can actually be saved (9300ET/ECS/SWP-CAM: maximum 48 motion profiles). In such
cases, online calculation of cross-cutter motion profiles in the target system offers an
alternative. The cross-cutter motion profile is created in two sections (synchronous phase and
asynchronous phase) which are adapted on the basis of cutting length (see also Chapter

Asynchronous cross cutter:

In length-controlled operation on the asynchronous cross cutter, a maximum cutting length
corresponding to the circumference of the cutting circle knife applies. This restriction is
necessary to prevent the material to be cut jamming.

and this is the only calculation made. Because the profiles are

Cross Cutter

Features of the "Cross Cutter" prepared solution

Mark-controlled operation:

In mark-controlled operation, mark control is implemented in addition to length control. Mark
control compensates inaccuracies via touch-probe correction. This ensures that positions are
corrected accordingly during operation. High-speed hardware signals ("touch probe") which
determine the deviation between the set and actual position on an interrupt-specific basis in the
ServoPLC are used for this purpose. An example application of mark control is illustrated in
Figure 21. In this application, mark control is used to cut a defined length from the material
being processed using print marks. In an application of this type, the length to be cut is sent to
the system and the length calculation function converts this value into an appropriate motion
profile. The print marks on the material to be processed are then used to correct the length
calculation. As soon as the touch-probe sensor detects a print mark, it compares the position
set accordingly with the actual position. In accordance with the deviation a signal is then
generated with a positive or negative sign to compensate the prevailing path difference. Mark
control can be used equally for the synchronous and asynchronous cross cutter. Mark
correction is only activated in Continuous cutting mode.

2.5.9 Adjustable compensation speed for mark correction

There are two ways of compensating the detected path difference. Either a speed signal can be
applied to the master speed directly to compensate the path difference or the detected path
difference can be compensated by superimposing a positioning profile. When compensating the
path difference please note that the path difference may not be compensated if the knife is
cutting the material. If compensation is applied during this phase, the speed of the knife will no
longer be synchronised with the material speed and this will damage the material. A function
block interconnection has been implemented in the prepared solution accordingly to prevent this
happening. Any mark correction in progress will be aborted as soon as the knife cuts into the
material. Mark correction is only activated in Continuous cutting mode.

Mark-controlled operation with touch-probe synchronisation without ramp generator

:

The detected path difference is compensated with a fixed additional speed on the actual cam
value (see

Figure 22 ). For this purpose, a fixed additional speed is applied to the master value
until the path difference is compensated. At this point the additional speed is withdrawn. If the
cross-cutter knife cuts into the material whilst mark correction is active, correction will be
aborted by setting the speed to 0. This will prevent deviations in the synchronous speed during
cutting. To activate mark-controlled operation with mark synchronisation but no ramp generator,
bit 21 must be enabled in application control word code C4135/000 (g_bXTpEnable variable =
TRUE) and bit 22 disabled (g_bRfgTPEnable variable = FALSE). The value of the fixed
additional speed is written in code C3650/001 and transmitted to global variable
g_nTPMakeUpLeeway_v (the signals are wired in the CrossCutterInterfaces PRG (network 6)).
Bit 7 of application status code C4150/000 indicates that mark correction is active
(g_bXTpSyncBusy variable = TRUE).

Cross Cutter

Features of the "Cross Cutter" prepared solution

Mark-controlled operation with mark synchronisation and ramp generator:

A positioning profile is superimposed to compensate the detected path difference (see

Figure
23 ). This prevents speed step changes in the master value signal during path difference
compensation (such step changes are typical of mark correction without a ramp generator). A
speed signal generated from the positioning profile is superimposed on the master value signal
to compensate the path difference. The use of positioning profile ramps enables the
compensation speed to be ramped up slowly and then back down at the end. To activate mark­controlled operation with mark synchronisation and ramp generator, bit 21 must be enabled in
application control word code C4135/000 (g_bXTpEnable variable = TRUE) along with bit 22
(g_bRfgTPEnable variable = TRUE). A maximum possible correction speed can be written in
code C3650/001 and a maximum negative correction speed in code C3650/002. The ramp
times for the abort ramp, acceleration ramp and deceleration ramp can be written in codes
C3649/001, C3649/002 and C3649/003 respectively. The abort ramp is used whenever the
cross-cutter knife cuts into the material when mark correction is active. In such an instance,
mark correction will be aborted with the time set in the abort ramp. This will prevent deviations in
the synchronous speed during cutting. The abort ramp is controlled via global variable
g_bRfgXTpExecute. This variable is always TRUE if the knife is not cutting the material. In such
circumstances it will therefore be possible to compensate a detected position deviation. Bit 7 of
application status code C4150/000 indicates that mark correction is active (g_bXTpSyncBusy
variable = TRUE).

2.5.11 Manual X trimming

Manual X trimming allows the machine operator to shift the cutting position in a positive or
negative direction. This is usually carried out during machine setting-up operation. The machine
operator can move the cutting position by pressing two pushbuttons until the required format is
reached (see
status word. For trimming in a positive direction, bit 19 in application control code C4135/000
needs to be activated (g_bXAxisTrimmingPosDirection global variable = TRUE). For trimming in
a negative direction, bit 20 in application control code C4135/000 needs to be activated
(g_bXAxisTrimmingNegDirection global variable = TRUE). Code C3678/000
(g_nXAxisTrimmingFactor_v global variable) contains the inching speed value for trimming in a
positive and negative direction. The acceleration ramp and the deceleration ramp for inching are
specified in codes C3676/000 and C3677/000. Where long cutting lengths are concerned, we
recommend performing X trimming by entering a value directly. Users can enter an absolute
target position in code C3674/000 (g_dnSetXAxisTrimmingTPPos global variable). To enable
the absolute positioning bit 25 in application control code C4135/000 needs to be activated
(g_bLoadSetXAxisTrimmingTPPos global variable = TRUE). As soon as the value in the code
changes, the new position will be approached. With Code C3671/000
(g_dnXAxisTrimmingTPPosOut global variable) the user can see the actual trimming position.
The speed and ramp times for this positioning operation are set in codes C3673/1-2 and
C3672/2-3 respectively. To work with manual X trimming, operation usually has to be activated
via bit 18 in application control code C4135/000 ( g_bUseXPositionTrimming global variable =
TRUE). When X trimming is activated, the value calculated for the distance between the mark
sensor and the cam zero position is replaced by a value generated by X trimming. This means
that X trimming can even be performed when mark correction is active. X trimming is only
permitted in cutting operation.

2.5.12 Reject gate control

A reject gate can be used to divert material to a different material flow direction in order, for
example, to collect rejects in a waste container. The reject gate can be controlled using a digital
signal. The signal is output dependent on the line speed (to ensure that the reject gate opens at
an appropriate speed in relation to the prevailing line speed, see
solution, this signal is both permanently linked to digital output 3 (DIGOUT_bOut3_b) using
9300 Servo PLC or digital output 1 (DIGOUT_bOut1_b)using ECS and linked to bit 25 of
application status code C4150/000 (g_bOpenRejectGate global variable). The reject gate
should open as soon as this signal becomes active (g_bOpenRejectGate global variable =
TRUE). Delays in the opening or closing of the reject gate can be compensated by entering a
switching delay time (C3680/000). The distance between the reject gate and the cross cutter is
defined in code C3679/000 (see
block and one good material block in the space between the knife drum and the reject gate (see
Figure 32). Reject gate control is always activated automatically whenever the cross cutter
switches to reject operation. This is done in code C4137/000 by selecting operating mode 2 for
reject operation (g_wProfileSelector global variable = 2).

2.5.13 Calculating the print-mark-sensor distance

In order to be able to use mark correction, you need to define the exact distance between the
mark sensor and the curve zero of the x axis. As illustrated previously in Chapter
curve zero does not line up with the six o'clock position of the knife. This makes it very difficult
to measure the distance between the print-mark sensor and the profile zero crossing. In order to
make it easier for the user to determine the print-mark-sensor distance, this is calculated
internally. The user simply has to tell the system the distance between the print-mark sensor
and the six o'clock position on the knife by entering this value in code C3668/000. The value
calculated for the distance between the print-mark sensor and the profile zero crossing is written
automatically to global variable g_dnXTpPos.
