ULTRA ADVANTAGE SERVO ROLL FEED 2/14/2003

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.

2.4 TOOL STORAGE OPERATION

The tool storage feature allows for storing of parameters that are different from tool to tool. It takes just a few seconds to

activate feeding parameters associated with a certain tool number. Maximum 200 tools can be stored. Tools are organized

by Tool number, which is user definable and can contain up to 7 digits.

Each tool consists of the following parameters:

-Length;

- Batch Count;

- Speed;

- Dwell;

- Accel;

- Decel;

- Feed Cam “On”;

- Feed Cam “Off”;

- Reset Cam “On”;

- Reset Cam “Off”;

- Pilot Release Cam “On”;

- Pilot Release Cam “Off”;

- Aux1. Cam “On”;

- Aux1. Cam “Off”;

- Aux2. Cam “On”;

- Aux2. Cam “Off”;

- Aux3. Cam “On”;

- Aux3. Cam “Off”;

NOTE: Cam settings are available only with PLS version of software.

Consider the tool storage as a part of the servo drive’s NVRAM memory that is dedicated to storing information of all the

existing tools. In order to run a tool, it must be activated. Tool activation is an internal drive procedure of making a copy

of the tool, and placing it in a different memory location. This copy, not the tool in the tool storage, is used to perform

material feeding. “Tool #NNN is active” means only that the feed running parameters are copied from this tool.

A tool in the tool storage area and its copy, are edited independently, with the difference, that only two of the copy’s

parameters are accessible – Length and Batch Count. These are accessible from the Operator screen. In order to edit the

rest of the parameters of the tool, the tool in tool storage must be edited, and then, reactivated.

NOTE: Deleting an active tool from the tool storage causes deletion of its copy as well.

NOTE: An active tool remains active after power recycling.

2.5 PLS OPERATION (OPTIONAL)

The PLS, Programmable Limit Switch consists of an intelligent encoder and the cable that connects the encoder to the

servo drive. The encoder is mounted on the press and its shaft is coupled or belted to the crankshaft with a one to one

(1:1) ratio. On every power-up, the encoder turns into the intelligent mode (for approximately 10 msec) to read its actual

position and store it in the servo drive.
