1. Description

1.1 General

The EKR 1500 system is a microprocessor-controlled web guiding system. This guiding system
may be used for:

- web edge guiding (right or left)

- center-line guiding
- guiding on continuos or interrupted printed lines
- guiding on continuos or interrupted printed edges
- guiding tzo a printed line or edge with automatic change-over to edge or center-line
guiding when the printed line/edge is interrupted or has got lost (for example, in the
case of a web splice)

Please contact the producer for any different application.

The system has PLC-compatible inputs and also an ‘OK-relay’ with NO and NC contact.
Full integration into the machine control system via:

- I-O Module potential-free in- and outputs for extended PLC messages and
commands
- Intercon-Module direct, serial connection for integration of system results,
messages and commands into the machine control system.
- Interbus-S Module direct connection to Interbus-S Module as remote bus station
- PDP-Module for instantaneous communication with locally peripheral
equipment

Notice: Please find the connection plans of the nominated modules at the corresponding
operating instructions.

1.2 Connectable components

The general plan (annex 2) indicates the connectable edge sensors and components to the
amplifier.

1.3 Operating elements

* The amplifier includes all necessary operating elements.

Option: - Remote control by external signals, sensors or keys

Attention! External keys will interlock the reverse function keys at the amplifier.

- If system locking is desired (e. g., in case of machine stop), this can be
achieved by means of external contacts or signals from the PLC.

* Connection of components via separated terminal compartment.

Advantage: quick and easy accessibility to the terminal parts.

* Indication of web edge position by two LED arrays

Advantage: - simple control of the web edge within the measuring range of sensors
- simple adjustment of the desired position of the web or edge sensors
- variations of web width exceeding via the admissible value

4.5 Installation of pneumatic sensing system

1. Pneumatic edge sensors have to be mounted in such a way that with horizontal web path the
connection S1, carrying the higher pressure, is placed below (air escape S1 turned towards
above).
2. Slip the hose ends onto the corresponding connection pieces S1 and S2.1at the pneumo-
electronic transducer ZT 6.008.
3. Connect the second edge sensor with the second connection piece S1 and the connection
piece marked S2.2. If only one sensor is present, seal the second connection S1 at the
ZT 6.008. S2.2 remains open and blows off.
4. The hose pipes towards the sensors should not exceed a length of 3m each and should have a
few ‘bends’ if possible.
5. Connect the air outlet at the BS 100 unit by means of single air hose with the connection piece
in the middle (not varnished) at the ZT 6.008 transducer.
When the ZT 6.008 is not directly mounted to the BS 100 unit, the length of the air hose may
be up to 6m (please contact the manufacturer for longer hoses).

Attention: Do not connect BS 100 with the connections S1, S2.1 or S2.2 at the ZT 6.008
transducer; such action will destroy the ZT 6.008!
Blowing in compressed air is inadmissible and will also destroy the unit!

The lateral channel compressor unit BS 100 has to be installed on even and plane surface either
vertically or horizontally.
In case of separate mounting, the pneumo-electronic transducer ZT 6.008 has to be attached to
a vibration-free surface. Make sure that free access to the interior of the box is possible after
having removed the cover.

5.7 Electric powered actuators

Attention! During the start-up the actuator will carry out positioning movements !
The machine must be protected against danger of injury according to the
relevant rules and regulations!

5.7.1 Use of limit switches

Limit switches for limitation of the regulating distance (stroke) can be used only with electric
motor powered actuators.

The motor is switched off when reaching the end of stroke by means of an alarm contact of the
limit switch. The output will be switched off by a software program.
The motor will be switched off without cutout.

When reaching the end of stroke, the LED on the controller corresponding to the mode of
operation selected (AUTO, S-C or MAN) will start blinking.
When activating the opposite direction the alarm message will reset automatically.

When using a Power Module the alarm message ”thermal protection active” will be generated by
the alarm signal ”both limit switches activated”. The output will then be switched off.
The alarm message will keep up also after ‘power off’.
The alarm message can only be reset by pressing the key ”ENTER” at the commander.

6.4 Watchdog function

6.4.1 General

This function will be used to control the position of the web edge when guiding to a reflection or line
sensor.
The edge sensor detects the actual web position when the printed line or edge is interrupted or has
got lost. The value will be stored. After that, the guiding changes over automatically to edge guiding.
When the printed line or edge reappears, the guiding function will be taken over again automatically
by the reflection or line sensor.
The LED of the key 'watchdog' (21) is blinking when the watchdog function is activated.
The sensing range of the watchdog sensor is limited to 80% when the watchdog function is
activated. That means:

Watchdog sensor covered

0% to 10% 10% is taken over as guiding point
10% to 90% the present web position is taken over as guiding point
90% to 100% 90% is taken over as guiding point

6.4.2 Conditions

The watchdog function is only applicable with commander EKR 1500. One edge sensor and one
reflection/line sensor are necessary at least.
The watchdog sensor (edge sensor) has to be level with or behind the reflection/line sensor in
running direction of the web material (from software version EKR 1500 E0030401 and
CCD 2004 G00402-01).

6.4.3 Preparations

- Carry out separate start-up for guiding with reflection/line sensor and guiding with edge sensor.
Optimize gain for both sensors (only necessary for first start-up).

Attention: A change of gain is only effective on the reflection/line sensor when the
watchdog function is switched on. Gain of the edge sensor remains constant.

- Carry out material set up for both sensors

6.4.4 Activation of the watchdog function

- Position reflection/line sensor to printing

- Press key 'AUTO' (1)

- Place the web on the desired position (e.g. via mechanical displacement of the reflection/line
sensor)

- With analog sensors: position edge sensor centric at the web edge
(position can be determined by means of the LEDs on the front panel of
the commander).
- With CCD 5000: positioning is not necessary

- Press key 'watchdog' (21)

Watchdog function is activated.
