1.1 Explanation of symbols
jobs to be performed
important information and instructions
The E+L ultrasound sensor is constructed according to state-of-the-
art technology and is used for contact-free web edge scanning.
The ultrasound edge sensor should only be used
- in perfect technical condition,
- for use as intended,
- in accordance with the operating instructions.
Please keep the above in a safe place and make accessible to per-
sonnel at all times.
The manual is part of the package supplied and should be read care-
fully prior to assembly, operation and maintenance.
Never touch the edges of running webs.
Never open the transmitter or receiver housing when the edge sen-
sor is switched on. High voltage!
Types FX 5030 and FX 5100 differ only in the distance between the
transmitter and receiver (usable area).
Type Usable area
FX 5030 < 30 mm
FX 5060 < 60 mm
FX 5100 < 124 mm
The ultrasound sensor scans the web edges of sound absorbing ma-
terials such as paper, film or tightly knitted fabrics without touching. It
is especially suitable for light-sensitive transparent materials where
optical edge sensors can only be used to a limited extent.
The edge sensor consists of:
- a transmitter with four transmitting elements
- a receiver with four receiving elements
- a connecting section

3.3 Operating principle The edge sensor works on a sound-voltage conversion principle.
The transmitter elements produce ultra-sound pulses which are
transmitted in the air to the receiver elements opposite. Depending
on how much of the transmitter element is covered by the web, more
or less sound energy will reach the receiver element opposite. This
energy is converted into a signal voltage and then a digital value.
The microcontroller determines which pair of elements is currently
active depending on the web position. The signals from the individual
receiver elements are converted into a output value proportional to
the web edge position and transmitted to the CAN bus. This output
value can be used e.g. to activate a digital controller. At the same
time, the actual web edge position in the measuring range is display-
ed on a row of LEDs.
If the LED beside the row of LEDs lights up green, the edge sensor
is signalling that it is ready for operation. If it lights up red, it is indica-
ting a fault.

3.4 Edge sensor measuring
range
The edge sensor measuring range is 10 mm and is resolved in 1229
units. In this range, the edge sensor provides a position value corre-
sponding to the location of the web edge.
The zero position is usually in the center of the measuring range. It can
be offset in conjunction with a digital controller.
Two M 5 threads each are featured on the transmitter and receiver
housing for assembly purposes.
Mount the edge sensor so that the web runs at a angle of 90to it.

The level of the web between the transmitter and receiver in relation
to the center may fluctuate by the following:
FX 5030 < 15 mm
FX 5060 < 30 mm
FX 5100 < 62 mm
The accuracy of the edge sensor cannot be guaranteed outwith the-
se ranges. During operation, the web must not touch either the trans-
mitter or the receiver.
Air turbulence due to temperature fluctuations in the edge sensor
scanning area may impair the measuring result and for this reason
must be avoided.

5. Installation
Protect signal leads and run apart from heavy current-carrying
leads.
Tighten the union nuts. These ensure that the edge sensor hou-
sing and the signal lead insulation are conductively connected.
Secure the signal lead with a cable clamp.
Subject to heavy static charging of the web, we recommend con-
necting the edge sensor housing to the machine frame.
On compact units, no adjustment to the edge sensor is needed on
first-time commissioning.
If you have ordered control elements separately and wish to link
them up yourself in a functioning control loop or if the edge sensor is
supplied not ready installed, you must check/set the group and unit
numbers on the edge sensor. The group number depends on the di-
gital controller (identical to the group number of the web guider to
which it belongs).
Edge sensor on right in web direction of travel, unit number "1"
Edge sensor on left in web direction of travel, unit number "2"
Direction of web travel = Processing direction for the entire sy-
stem
Set the controller to "center position" mode.
Press the "GRP" and "DEV" buttons on the edge sensor at the
same time. After about 6 seconds the group and unit numbers on
the LED display will start to flash. After approx. a further 20 se-
conds the edge sensor switches into setup mode. The LEDs stop
flashing and stay on permanently and the group number (GRP
button) and unit number (DEV) can be changed.
If the "GRP" and "DEV" buttons are not pressed for longer than
1 minute, the group and unit numbers are stored and setup mode
exited.

7. Operation
With the help of the row of LEDs on the receiver, the edge sensor
can be manually positioned at the web edge.
Set the web offset on the digital controller to "0".
Position the edge sensor manually:
- If the web is at its set position, place the edge sensor at the web
so that only the two middle LEDs, 7 and 1 are on (display mode
0). In display mode 1, LEDs 0 to 7 are illuminated, see fig. below.

- If the web is not at its set position or no web is available, position
the edge sensor so that the center of the scanning range coinci-
des with the web edge set position.

In setup mode, setup parameters may be displayed and, to a certain
extent, changed. To enter edge sensor setup mode, a command sta-
tion DO ...., a digital controller DC 55.. or operator panel RT .... are
required.
The parameter numbers are listed in the Number field of the table,
the short form of the error in the Name field. The Default field indica-
tes the standard settings, Min and Max are the permissible limit valu-
es in each case. The Access field shows whether a parameter may
only be read (R) or read and written (R/W). The Description field ex-
plains the parameter function.

Maintenance work should only be performed when the processing
machine is switched off.
Depending on the ambient conditions, the transmitter and receiver
elements may have to be blow cleaned. The air pressure must not
exceed 6 bar.
The four transmitter and receiver elements are sealed in a flexible
plastic support and must not be exposed to any mechanical pres-
sure (e.g. finger touch).
The length of the individual cables must be deducted from the ma-
ximum cable length in a CAN network. For one edge sensor it
may be a maximum of 8 m, for two sensors a maximum of 16 m.
