Ensure that all personnel involved in the operation and maintenance of any machine, as well as those persons who will act as supervisory personnel for the machines, have read and understood fully these instructions and those contained in the accompanying supplier’s instruction manuals and instruction sheets, before attempting to operate or...
  • Page 3 Siemens TP700 Comfort Touch-screen operator control panel. This guide gives details of all buttons/fields/functions that are available within the standard machine software. Some functions will only appear under certain conditions and/or are optional. Please check the full specification of machine supplied.

  • Page 4: Machine Safety

    Cutter Safety Function • Emergency Stops All of the safety functions are motored by the Siemens S7-1214FC Safety PLC. This handles most of the machines logic and safety functions. By pressing the Emergency Stop or opening the main machine door, will bring the machine to a controlled stop and remove all torque and energy from motors and actuators.
  • Page 5 When all guarding, doors and Emergency Stop have been closed the following reset screen will appear. This indicates the safety functions are ready to be reset with the blue reset button flashing. Check it is safe to do so and press the blue button for ½ second. When the machine has successfully reset, you will be returned to the home screen.
  • Page 6 2.1.1 Cutter Safety The cutter has its own independent safety function that will allow sliding away the cutter block and still be able to drawing product through the machine with the belts. When any part of the cutter safety function is activated, the pop-up below, left will be displayed on the home screen.
  • Page 7 MACHINE FAULT The screen below will be displayed if there is a serious system fault. This could be internal communications or a safety related function. Hopefully this should never appear. The first port or call is to check all of the safety sensors and emergency stops. The monitoring of the safety circuits is very accurate and any discrepancy in the reading of both channels Pressing the yellow warning symbol will load the system diagnostic screen.

  • Page 8: Home Screen

    HOME SCREEN This is the normal operator screen. All day to day cutting changes can be controlled from this screen. The screen is divided in three different parts: Caterpillar, Cutter and Batch. Each area has its own panel where it is possible to select different settings. To open the different panels, press on the green bottom bar.
  • Page 9 Caterpillar belt speed (Blue Display): Adjusts individually the transport belt speeds calibrated in 0.1 meters per minute. Lightly tap the screen within the adjustment area to display input panel and adjust parameter. Press return key to enter the new value. Caterpillar belt speed (White Display): Display the actual speed of the caterpillar.

  • Page 10: Local Mode

    4.1.4 Caterpillar panel Click on the caterpillar green button to open and close the panel. In this panel is possible to select all the settings to control the caterpillar. LOCAL MODE Speed is set from the HMI. This is entered in metres per minute. Caterpillar belt speed (Blue Display): Adjusts individually the transport belt speeds calibrated in 0.1 meters per minute. Lightly tap the screen within the adjustment area to display input panel and adjust parameter.

  • Page 11: Remote Mode

    REMOTE MODE Speed is set via analogue input terminals. This signal should be 0v to 10v only as scales linearly from 0 to the maximum speed of the machine. 0V = Min Caterpillar speed; 10V = Max Caterpillar Speed Caterpillar belt speed (White Display): Displays the actual speed of the caterpillar. Remote input signal (White Display): Displays the voltage of the external control signal.

  • Page 12: Sonar Mode

    SONAR MODE The analogue input signals act as a trim value on the screen speed to maintain a steady product flow. For example: if the screen speed is 10 m/m and a 20% value was entered for the Sonar Value, then an input of 0 volts would produce a speed of 8 m/m and a 10 volts signal would produce a speed of 12 m/m.
  • Page 13 4.1.5 Cutter panel The first row of buttons control the machines cutting mode. From Left to Right: Auto Mode, Camera Mode, Sensor Mode, Timer Mode and Stop & Cut. LENGTH MODE: The cutting length is controlled via an electronic cam; this will perform seamless cutting length adjustments from 0 to 2500 cuts per minute. Cut Length (Blue Display): Length in millimeters/inches of the pieces to be cut.
  • Page 14 The length factor works as: DriveLength = HMI_Length * (LengthFactor / 100) Example 1: HMI_Length = 1000.0 mm LengthFactor = 100% DriveLength = 1000.0 * (100/100) = 1000.0 mm The drive will trigger the cut when the length of the product is equal to the length specified in the HMI. Example 2: HMI_Length = 1000.0 mm Length Factor = 90% DriveLength:= 1000.0 *(90/100) = 1000.0 * 0.9= 900.0 mm The drives will trigger the cut before the product has reached the length specified in the HMI.

  • Page 15: Sensor Mode

    SENSOR MODE. The machine relies on an external signal to perform the cut. Blade Datum (Blue Display): This is the position (from 0° to 360°) that the blade will come to rest at. It has been calibrated at the factory to rest 180° from the cut point. Blade Speed (Blue Display): This is the value of the blade speed in % of its capable maximum.

  • Page 16: Timer Mode

    TIMER MODE The machine will perform a cut after a designated period of time. Time setting: Time in milliseconds after which the machine will perform a cut. Blade Datum: This is the position (from 0° to 360°) that the blade will come to rest at. It has been calibrated at the factory to rest 180°...
  • Page 17 4.1.6 Batch panel Batch: Counts the number of individual pieces cut (i.e. 1 batch of 25 pieces). Batch Total: Counts the number of batches produced (i.e. 10 batches of 25 pieces). Total Cuts: Number of cuts since the last manual reset. Accumulative Length: This value records the amount of product that passes through the machine until the reset button is pressed.

  • Page 18: Drive Screen

    DRIVE SCREEN The Drive Screen contains all status information for every drive fitted to the machine. The left hand side of the screen give a status report on each drive. When a particular drive is healthy, the status windows will be coloured green. If a drive is suffering from a fault, this will turn to red and the error will be detailed in the output field.

Please follow the procedure for changing a broken blade as detailed later in the manual (section F-B). Air Blast (option): This is an air blast output after each cut.
  • Page 24 Joint Sensor: An external sensor detects a joint in the product which is metallic. This signal sends to the machine the positions when the sensor saw the joint are indexed. The machine will calculate the length of the joint and its position as it travels down the line to the blade.
  • Page 25 Scrap Mode: The machine will cut a predetermined length (Scrap Length) when an external signal indicates that scrap product is arriving. The machine will track the position when the signal rises and falls to calculate the position of the scrap material as it makes it way down the line to the blade.
  • Page 26 Atomiser: The machine will lubricate the blade as it passes through the bushes to prevent build-up of debris. The mode is either On or Off. Heaters: The heaters warm up the product providing a better quality on the cut. The heaters must be switched on after a power cycle.
