1 INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT
Before turning the system on for the first time, verify that installation has been completed according to
the Installation manual and the main input voltage is 220 VAC, single phase.
The P/A Industries Ultra Advantage Servo Roll Feed is a state of the art AC Servo feed, which simplifies Operator
adjustments to feed parameters. These Operator adjustments are entered into the control memory through the keypad.
With the use of positional limit switches, the press signals the feeder when to begin moving the strip, when the feed
pitch must be completed, when the press has completed its down stroke, and with optional pneumatic pilot release,
when to open the rolls for piloting.
The mechanical simplicity, accuracy, and ease of use of the Ultra Advantage Servo Roll Feed will help to improve
your quality and production for years to come.

2.3 SERVOMOTOR/DRIVE OPERATION
The introduction of servomotor technology to the press roll feed has pushed the limits of accuracy, adjustability,
and performance to levels previously unattainable.
The following example is based on the Ultra Advantage Servo Roll Feed Standard, US model. The actual numbers for
Heavy Duty or metric models are different.
Each revolution of the servomotor produces 8000 encoder pulses. Every 10.24 revolutions of the servo motor shaft
produce 1 revolution of the feed rollers. The circumference of the lower roll is approximately 11.138 inches.
When a new feed pitch is entered into the system, the built in computer calculates the correct number of electronic
“pulses” it must receive from the motor mounted encoder in order to rotate the feed rolls the correct distance
4
.
ULTRA ADVANTAGE SERVO ROLL FEED 2/09/2002
Example: If a feed pitch/length of 11.138 inches is entered into the feeder, this will result in exactly one revolution of
the feed rolls. The motor will accelerate and turn 10.24 turns. This will produce (10.24 x 8000 = 81,920) pulses of
the encoder. The feeder will decelerate and stop, when 81,920 pulses are detected. The feeder is now in position.
The result is an accurately positioned strip exactly 11.138 inches from its starting point. This entire process happens
in milliseconds.

5 OPERATING THE ULTRA ADVANTAGE SERVO FEED
5.1 PROGRAMMING
OPERATOR screens are only screens that are Operator editable. These screens display Length, Count, Length
Adjustment, Speed, Accel, Decel and Dwell. Length and Count can be changed only when cycling is stopped,
although Length can be adjusted by using the LENGTH ADJUSTMENT command even while the feed is running.
Access to the SET UP parameters can be locked by “Programming Locked/Ulocked” keyswitch.
5.2 PRIORITY MODE
The Ultra Advantage Servo Roll Feed has two modes of automatic cycle starting. The choice can be made between
“Press – Before – Feed” (“PBF”) and “Feed – Before – Press” (“FBP”) operating mode.
When “PBF” mode is selected and the Cycle Start button is pressed on the control panel, the feeder causes the “Auto”
and “Permit Press” relays to turn on thus enabling the start of continuous cycling on the press.
When “FBP” is selected and Cycle Start button is pressed on the feed control, the material/strip will be fed forward
before the press is started. The Operator may verify that the strip is in position before starting the press.
The Ultra Advantage Servo Roll Feed will now follow the press until it is stopped by the Operator, counter, emergency
stop, or feed error.
5.3 “JTL” (JOG TO LENGTH) MODE
“JTL” mode is used primarily during the threading of the strip through the die. This mode allows the Jog – To –
“Feed Length” operations to be performed. While in the “JTL” mode, the strip may be moved using the remote Jog
Pendant.
If the “Jog Forward” is stopped before the “Feed Length” is reached, then either the “Jog Forward” or the “Jog Reverse” Operator buttons will work. The “Jog Reverse” will not allow the strip to go backwards beyond the initial
“Feed Length” starting point.
10
ULTRA ADVANTAGE SERVO ROLL FEED 2/09/2002
The “Jog Forward” Operator button will function until the end of the “Feed Length” is reached. During “JTL”
mode, the bottom line on the display will show “Waiting for Jog”. When the “Feed Length” is reached, the jog
buttons become inactive and the message on display will show “Waiting for Press”. The jog buttons will not become
active again until after the press has made a cycle.
5.4 “AUTO / MANUAL” MODE
“Auto” Mode is used for production running of the UltraAdvantage Servo Roll Feed. When “Manual” mode is
selected via the 2-position selector switch, the control can be put in “Auto” mode by pressing Cycle Start button.
During “Manual” mode, the feeder can be jogged infinitely in either direction. After the Cycle Start button is
pressed, the jog buttons are inactive, and the feeding of the strip follows the cam signals from the press.
During “Auto” mode, the control keeps check on synchronization of the feeder and the press. If the feeder does not
complete the index within the feed cam window, the message “SYNC FAULT” displays.
The Ultra Advantage Servo Roll Feed has 2 modes of automatic cycling. The feeder can operate with Single Stroke
or Continuous modes. The mode is selected through an input to the feed controller. The Press single
stroke/continuous mode switch should be interfaced to that input for proper operation. During single stroke mode
operation, the “Permit Press” relay is activated upon the completion of each feed index.
The “Permit Press” relay remains activated until the reset cam signal turns on, or for the duration of the Dwell, if the
Dwell parameter is programmed. The “Permit Press” relay may be used to signal the press when to initiate the single
stroke cycle. The automatic cycling of the press and feeder will continue until the batch is completed, or the cycle is
stopped by the Operator, or an error occurs.
During “Continuous Press” mode, the “Permit Press” relay turns on at the beginning of the indexing.
The “Permit Press” relay remains activated until the automatic cycling is stopped by either “Cycle Stop” button,
“Batch Complete” internal command, “Sync Fault” or any other drive related error. Under “Cycle Stop” or “Batch Complete” stopping, the output will turn off at the beginning of the Feed Cam Signal. This should allow the press to
stop near the top of the stroke. Under “Sync Fault” or other drive fault conditions, the “Permit Press” relay will turn
off immediately upon detection of the error.
NOTE: The following speed performance charts represent theoretical calculations based on parameter values
most commonly used. Higher performance for specific applications can be reached by custom tuning the
control.
The chart that follows contains the most frequently encountered issues.

SAFETY PROGRAM
Accident free operation will result from a well developed, management sponsored and enforced safety program. Of vital
importance to any successful program is the proper selection of guards and devices. However, there is no safety device that will
bring “automatic” safety to your operation.
Of equal importance to this proper selection of the guard and the device is the training of your personnel. Each person must be
trained as to the operation of the guard or safety device, highlighting why they have been provided on the equipment. Rules for
safe operating should be written and enforced at all times. A final major concern of an effective safety program is regularly
scheduled inspection and maintenance of all of the equipment.
To ensure continued safety at all times, top management, line supervision, safety engineers and all employees must assume their
proper share of the responsibility in the program. Only as a group, one that knows your own operation and its problems, can you
carry out an effective safety program.
To assist you in the development of and continued use of safety programs, many safety minded groups have made guidelines
available to you. However, you must know when and how to apply these guidelines. The manufacturer provides information to
assist you in properly adjusting and maintaining your equipment. There is no short cut to proper safety; therefore, it is
recommended that you comply with their recommendations at all times.
