APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
List of Variables
Delimbing Knives
Times
DELIMBING KNIVES OPENING TIME
(0.01s). Use this parameter to adjust
how long the delimbing knives will
open when the "Head Open" is
activated.
PULSE OPENING AT START OF
FEED FORWARD (0.01s). Use this
parameter to set the time that the
delimbing knives will open when the
"Start" button or "Feed Forward" button
is pressed. This parameter allows the
feeding to begin more easily. If the
value is set to high, the delimbing
knives will open far enough for the tree
to loose its position in the head. In
general, a value of 2-4 can be entered
for this parameter. The function of this
parameter is to improve the start of
feed performance.
PULSE OPENING TIME AT START
OF FEED REVERSE (0.01s). Use this
parameter to adjust the time the
delimbing knives will open at start of
feed reverse. This parameter controls
the start of feed reverse performance.
If a too long time is set the delimbing
knives may open so much that the tree
is no longer held properly in place.
MINIMUM TIME BETWEEN
DELIMBING KNIVES PULSE
OPENINGS (0.01s). The delimbing
knives receives a opening pulse every
time feeding is activated. This is to
improve the starting performance. Use
this parameter to adjust how long time
that must pass before the delimbing
knives receives a new pulse. If this
value is set too low the delimbing
knives may open too much and cause
the log to fall down if feeding is
activated frequently. This parameter
3:55
controls ALL modes of start of feeding
(manual, auto etc)
PAUSE TIME FOR DEL. KNIVES
CLOSE AT FORWARD PULSING
(0.01s). Use this parameter to adjust
how long time it should be between the
delimbing knives closing signals for
pulsing. Too high value will give too
long time between the closing signals
that can cause the log to start to fall
out from the head. This can have an
negative effect on the length
measuring accuracy. This parameter is
working in combination with parameter
DELIMBING KNIVES CLOSE TIME AT
FORWARD PULSING.
DEL. KNIVES CLOSE TIME AT
FORWARD PULSING (0.01s). Use this
parameter to adjust the duration of the
delimbing knives close signal during
pulsing. Too high value can cause the
delimbing knives to close on hard to
the log and make it difficult to feed.
Too low value can cause the delimbing
knives to close too little which cause
the log to start to fall out from the head.
This parameter is working in
combination with PAUSE TIME FOR
DEL. KNIVES CLOSE AT FORWARD
PULSING.
DELAY DELIMBING KNIVES AT
HEAD CLOSE (0.01s) Use this
parameter to set the time to delay the
delimbing arms when closing the head.
The time should be long enough so the
lower knife is closed before the
delimbing arms but not longer than
DELAY FEED ROLLER ARM CLOSE.
The closing function shall be in order
Lower knife, Delimbing knives and last
Feed roller arms.
Extended Pulse Opening
DISTANCE LIMIT WITH EXTENDED
PULSE OPENING (cm). Use this
parameter to adjust the distance that
can be fed before pulse opening starts.
The delimbing knives will not close
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
after the initial puls opening until the
fed distance is equal or greater than
the distance set in this parameter. This
function is used to improve the starting
performance on butt logs. Too long
distance can cause the log to be
positioned incorrectly in the head. Too
short distance can prevent the head
from reaching desired feeding speed.
This parameter is used in combination
with parameter TREE SPECIES WITH
EXTENDED PULSE OPENING.
TREE SPECIES WITH EXTENDED
PULSE OPENING. Use this parameter
to set which tree species the extended
pulse opening function should be
activated for. For tree specie 1, value 1
is shown. For tree specie 2, value 2 is
shown. For tree specie 3, value 4 is
shown. For tree specie 1 and 2, value
3 is shown. for tree specie 1 and 3,
value 5 is shown etc.
Limits
CLOSE IN CUTTING WINDOW
(YES/NO). Use this parameter to set if
the delimbing knives should close or
not when the head reaches the cutting
window. If the parameter is set to "Yes"
the delimbing knives will close when
the head reaches the cutting window.
In some conditions it may be useful to
have this parameter set to "Yes" since
the delimbing knives will lift up the tree
towards the frame before the cutting
cycle starts which ensures that the
"Cut through" function is working
correctly.
DIAMETER LIMIT FOR PULSING
(mm). Below this diameter the pulsing
function is no longer activated during
feeding. The delimbing knives are
activated directly by the position
sensor for upper knife. When this
position sensor is not activated the
delimbing knives close function is
activated until this position sensor is
activated again.
3:56
Pulsing at Feed Reverse
PULSE OPENING KNIVES AT FEED
REVERSE (ON/OFF). Use this
parameter to select if the pulsing
function should be activated for feed
reverse.
KNIVES PULSE OPEN TIME AT
REVERSE (0.01s). Use this parameter
to adjust the time which the knives
open is activated during feed reverse.
Too short time can cause the knives to
close on too hard onto the tree and
reduce the feed force. Too long time
can cause the tree to start to fall out
from the head. This parameter is
working in combination with KNIVES
PAUSE INTERVAL AT REVERSE.
KNIVES PAUSE INTERVAL AT
REVERSE (cm). Use this parameter to
adjust the length interval between
knives pulse openings during reverse.
Too long interval length can cause the
knives to close too hard onto the tree
and reduce the feed force. Too short
interval length can cause the tree to
start to fall out from the head. This
parameter works in a combination with
KNIVES PULSE OPEN TIME AT
REVERSE.
KNIVES PAUSE TIME AT REVERSE
(0.01s). OBS! Only used when
measuring wheel is retracted during
reverse feeding! Use this parameter to
adjust the time interval between knives
pule openings during reverse. Too long
interval time can cause the knives to
close too hard onto the tree and
reduce the feed force. Too short
interval time can cause the tree to start
to fall out from the head. This
parameter works in a combination with
KNIVES PULSE OPEN TIME AT
REVERSE.
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
Feed Rollers
Speed
HIGH SPEED REVERSE FEEDING
(0-255). High speed reverse feeding is
the speed that the feed rollers use at
the start of down ramp. Maximum
speed reverse is set down on the valve
bank. If the speed is set too high or too
low the head will have difficulty finding
the cutting zone. Increasing the value
results in increasing the feed roller
speed. The maximum speed for feed
reverse is adjusted down on the head.
It is necessary to use a tacho meter to
properly adjust the speed.
HIGH SPEED FORWARD FEEDING
(0-255). High speed forward feeding is
the speed that the feed rollers use at
the start of down ramp. Maximum
speed forward is set down on the valve
bank. If this speed is set too high the
head will feed past the cutting zone,
even if the variable "Predelimbing
Length" is set to zero centimeters.
Increasing the value results in
increasing the feed roller speed. The
maximum speed for feed forward is
adjusted down on the head. It is
necessary to use a tacho meter to
properly adjust the speed.
LOW SPEED REVERSE FEEDING (0-
255). Low speed reverse feeding is the
speed that the feed rollers ramp down
to in order to find the cutting zone. If
this speed is set too high the head will
feed past the cutting zone and then
use "Low Speed Forward Feeding" to
find the cutting zone. Adjust the speed
as high as possible without the head
hunting back and forth across the
cutting zone. Increasing the value
results in increasing the feed roller
speed.
LOW SPEED FORWARD FEEDING
(0-255). Low speed forward feeding is
the speed that the feed rollers ramp
3:57
down to in order to find the cutting
zone. If this speed is set too high the
head will feed past the cutting zone
and then use "Low Speed Reverse
Feeding" to find the cutting zone.
Adjust the speed as high as possible
without the head "hunting" back and
forth across the cutting zone.
Increasing the value results in
increasing the feed roller speed.
MANUAL CRAWL SPEED FORWARD
FEEDING (0-255). Use this parameter
to set the speed that the feed rollers
will turn when the "Stop/Pause" button
and the "Feed Forward" button are
pressed at the same time. This speed
is used to manually reposition the tree
for making a crosscut. Adjust the
speed to about 50% of the maximum
speed so the operator can easily and
accurately reposition the tree.
MANUAL CRAWL SPEED REVERSE
FEEDING (0-255). Use this parameter
to set the speed that the feed rollers
will turn when the "Stop/Pause" button
and the "Feed Reverse" button are
pressed at the same time. This speed
is used to manually reposition the tree
for making a crosscut. Adjust the
speed to about 50% of the maximum
speed so the operator can easily and
accurately reposition the tree.
MANUAL REVERSE FEEDING
SPEED AT TILT UP (0-255). Use this
parameter to set the speed that the
feed rollers will turn when the "Feed
Reverse" button is pressed while the
head is tilted up. Adjust the speed so
that the operator can easily and
accurately reposition the head on the
tree without slamming it into the
ground.
REVERSE SPEED AT AUTO BUTT
SEARCH WITH PHOTO CELL (0-255).
Use this parameter to adjust the speed
that the head will feed in reverse
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
towards the photo cell if a photo cell is
mounted and activated.
MANUAL FEED FORWARD AT TILT
UP (0-255). Use this parameter to
adjust the speed for manual feed
forward at tilt up.
Times
FORWARD FEEDING DURATION AT
REVERSE STALLING (0.01s). Use
this parameter to set how long the
head can feed forward after reverse
stalling without receiving a signal from
the measuring wheel. If the length
measuring wheel were to slip in
forward feeding after reverse stalling,
this parameter prevents the head from
continuing to feed too far. To prevent
the head from feeding too far, the
computer starts this timer as the head
begins to feed forward after stalling. If
this time is reached, the head will stop
feeding regardless of the setting for
"Forward Length At Reverse Stalling".
When the head stops, the operator
must rezero the length measurement
and press the start button again. The
"Stalling Protection Reverse"
parameter must be set to "On" for this
parameter to be active. Generally, it is
recommended to set this value to 30-
40.
REVERSE FEEDING DURATION AT
FORWARD STALLING (0.01s). If the
rollers were to spin in reverse feeding
after forward stalling, this timer will
interrupt the spinning. The "Stalling
Protection Forward" parameter must
be set to "On" for this parameter to be
active. Generally, it is recommended to
set this value to 30-40.
STALLING SENSITIVITY REVERSE
(0.01s). Use this parameter to set how
long the feed rollers are allowed to spin
in reverse (feed rollers active without
the computer receiving length pulses)
before the stalling parameters take
effect. The Stalling Protection Reverse
3:58
parameter must be set to "On" for this
parameter to be active. A too high
value for this parameter will result in
excessive spinning. A too low value
for this parameter will cause the
stalling parameters to take effect
before the feed rollers actually begin to
spin.
STALLING SENSITIVITY FORWARD
(0.01s). Use this parameter to set how
long the feed rollers are allowed to spin
in forward (feed rollers active without
the computer receiving length pulses)
before the stalling parameters take
effect. The Stalling Protection Forward
parameter must be set to "On" for this
parameter to be active. A too high
value for this parameter will result in
excessive spinning. A too low value
for this parameter will cause the
stalling parameters to take effect
before the feed rollers actually begin to
spin.
DELAY FEED ROLLER ARMS CLOSE
(0.01s). When the "Head Close"
toggle switch is pressed this parameter
can be used to delay the closing of the
feed roller arms. Increasing the value
increases the delay. It is also possible
to close one function at a time by
pressing the toggle switch in part way.
OPEN FEED ROLLER ARMS (0.01s).
Use this parameter to set the time for
feedroller arms open, the time is used
to control the "reset sound"
Ramp
RAMP AT START OF FEEDING
(0.01s). Use this parameter to adjust
how quickly the feed rollers will reach
maximum speed when you press the
"Start" button, "Feed Forward" button
or "Feed Reverse" button. A small
ramp time is recommended (0-20) to
make the head start smoothly and
reduce the stress on the head
components. Increasing the value
causes the head to start slower.
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
BRAKE LENGTH (cm). Use this
parameter to set the distance, in
centimeters, before the cutting zone
that the head begins to slow down. An
accurate adjustment of this parameter
is important so that the head can find
the cutting zone quickly. A too low
value for the ramp length will cause the
head to overshoot the cutting zone and
then have to reverse to the cutting
zone. A too high value for the ramp
length will cause the head to slow
down too far before the cutting zone
and then try to advance to the cutting
zone using Low Speed Forward
Feeding.
DOWN RAMP TIME (0.01s). Use this
parameter to adjust the down ramp
time for feeding. Too low value will
cause the feed rollers to stop too
quickly.
Feed Forward
REVERSE LENGTH AT FORWARD
STALLING (cm). Use this parameter to
set the distance, in centimeters, that
the head will feed reverse in forward
stalling. The "STALLING
PROTECTION FORWARD" parameter
must be set to "On" for this parameter
to be active. Set this length to allow the
feed rollers to just gain maximum
speed prior to entering the area of the
tree that caused the head to stop. If the
value is set too low the head will not
reach maximum speed and provide
maximum delimbing force. If the value
is set too high the head will feed farther
than necessary. Generally, it is
recommended to set this value to 30-
40 cm.
STALLING PROTECTION FORWARD
(ON/OFF). Use this parameter to
activate the stalling protection for
forward feeding when using automatic
processing. This parameter causes the
head to automatically stop feeding
forward when it reaches a difficult
3:59
delimbing area. The head will then
feed reverse, stop and then feed
forward again. The head will make 3
attempts to come through the problem
area before it stops. However, if the
computer receives 1 or more length
pulses (showing gained length) it will
make 3 new attempts before it stops. If
this parameter is set to "On", you must
program values for Stalling Sensitivity
Forward, Reverse Speed At Forward
Stalling, Reverse Length For Forward
Stalling, Forward Feed Distance
Before Stalling Protection, and
Reverse Feeding Duration At Forward
Stalling.
FORWARD FEED DISTANCE
BEFORE STALLING PROTECTION
(cm). Use this parameter to adjust the
distance, in centimeters, the tree must
be fed (after a crosscut or felling cut)
before the stalling protection is active.
The value for this parameter must be
equal to or greater than the length that
is programmed for Reverse Length At
Forward Stalling. This will prevent the
tree from feeding out of the head after
forward stalling. The Stalling Protection
Forward parameter must be set to "On"
for this parameter to be active.
Feed Reverse
FORWARD LENGTH AT REVERSE
STALLING (cm). Use this parameter to
set the distance, in centimeters, that
the head will feed forward in reverse
stalling. The "1187=STALLING
PROTECTION REVERSE" parameter
must be set to "On" for this parameter
to be active. Set this length to allow the
feed rollers to just gain maximum
speed prior to entering the area of the
tree that caused the head to stop. If the
value is set too low the head will not
reach maximum speed and provide
maximum delimbing force. If the value
is set too high the head will feed farther
than necessary. Generally, it is
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
recommended to set this value to 30-
40 cm.
STALLING PROTECTION REVERSE
(ON/OFF). Use this parameter to
activate the stalling protection for
reverse feeding when using automatic
processing. This parameter causes the
head to automatically stop feeding
reverse when it reaches a difficult
delimbing area. The head will then
feed forward, stop and then feed
reverse again. The head will make 3
attempts to come through the problem
area before it stops. However, if the
computer receives 1 or more length
pulses (showing gained length) it will
make 3 new attempts before it stops.
If this parameter is set to "On", you
must program values for Stalling
Sensitivity Reverse, Forward Speed At
Reverse Stalling, Forward Length For
Reverse Stalling, and Forward Feeding
Duration At Reverse Stalling.
REVERSE LENGTH AFTER FELLING
(cm). Use this parameter to set the
distance, in centimeters, the feed
rollers will reverse after automatically
felling a tree. This function is not active
if manual cutting is selected. The saw
bar must reach the forecasted cut
diameter before this function starts. If
the tree is heavy the head may not be
able to physically reverse the feed
rollers. Generally, 2 to 4 cm is
recommended for this parameter.
REVERSE TIME AFTER CROSS
CUTTING (0.01s) Use this parameter
to adjust how long time the feed rollers
will reverse after cross cutting a log.
The purpose of this function is to
retract the log a few cm to avoid
interference between the saw bar and
the log. The higher value that is
entered the longer time the feed rollers
will reverse. Normally this parameter
can be set to 0.
3:60
Lower knife
Times
PULSE OPENING TIME AT START
OF FEED FORWARD (0.01s). Use this
parameter to set the duration for lower
knife open signal at start of feed
forward after first log. This function
improves the start of feed
performance.
PAUSE TIME FOR LOWER KNIFE
CLOSE AT FORWARD PULSING
(0.01s). Use this parameter to adjust
how long time it should be between the
lower knife closing signals for forward
pulsing. Too high value will give too
long time between the closing signals
that can cause the log to start to fall
out from the head. This can have a
negative effect on the length
measuring accuracy. This parameter is
working in combination with parameter
LOWER KNIFE CLOSE TIME AT
FORWARD PULSING.
LOWER KNIFE CLOSING TIME AT
FORWARD PULSING (0.01s). Use this
parameter to adjust the duration of the
lower knife close signal during forward
pulsing. Too high value can cause the
lower knife to close on too hard onto
the log and make it difficult to feed.
Too low value can cause the lower
knife to close too little which can cause
the log to start to fall out from the head.
This parameter is working in
combination with PAUSE TIME FOR
LOWER KNIFE CLOSE AT
FORWARD PULSING.
PULSE OPENING TIME AT START
OF FEED REVERSE (0.01s). Use this
parameter to set the duration for lower
knife open at start of feed reverse. This
function improves the start of feed
performance.
MINIMUM TIME BETWEEN PULSE
OPENING (0.01s). The lower knife
receives a opening pulse every time
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
feeding is activated. This is to improve
the starting performance. Use this
parameter to adjust how long time
must pass before the lower knife
receives a new pulse. If this value is
set too low the lower knife may open
too much and cause the log to fall
down if the feeding is activated
frequently. This parameter controls all
modes of start feeding
Pulsing at Feed Reverse
PULSE OPENING LOWER KNIFE AT
FEED REVERSE (On/Off). Use this
parameter to select if the pulsing
function should be activated for feed
reverse.
LOWER KNIFE OPEN TIME AT
REVERSE (0.01s). Use this parameter
to adjust the time which the lower knife
open is activated during feed reverse.
Too short time can cause the lower
knife to close on too hard onto the tree
and reduce the feed force. Too long
time can cause the tree to start to fall
out from the head. This parameter is
working in combination with LOWER
KNIFE PAUSE INTERVAL AT
REVERSE PULSING.
LOWER KNIFE PAUSE TIME AT
REVERSE (0.01s). OBS! Only used
when measuring wheel is retracted
during reverse feeding! Use this
parameter to adjust the time interval
between lower knife pulse openings
during reverse. Too long interval time
can cause the knives to close too hard
onto the tree and reduce the feed
force. Too short interval time can
cause the tree to start to fall out from
the head. This parameter works in a
combination with LOWER KNIFE
PULSE OPEN TIME AT REVERSE.
KNIVES PAUSE INTERVAL AT
REVERSE (cm). Use this parameter to
adjust the lenght interval between
lower knife pule openings during
reverse. Too long interval length can
3:61
cause the knives to close too hard onto
the tree and reduce the feed force. Too
short interval length can cause the tree
to start to fall out from the head. This
parameter works in a combination with
LOWER KNIFE PULSE OPEN TIME
AT REVERSE.
Saw
Speeds
MAXIMUM SPEED SAW MOTOR (0-
255). Use this parameter to adjust the
maximum rotational speed of the saw
motor. You may not be able to reach
the desired maximum speed if the
stroke limitation screw on the valve
bank has been incorrectly adjusted.
Increasing the value increases the
speed.
Times
CUT DELAY FOR AUTOMATIC SAW
(0.01s). Use this parameter to adjust
the amount of time the head will wait in
the cutting zone before it starts to cut
automatically. Increasing the value
increases the delay.
CUT DELAY FOR AUTOMATIC TOP
SAW (0.01s). Use this parameter to
adjust the time the head will wait in the
cutting window before automatic
cutting starts. Increasing value
increases the delay time.
PAUSE TIME FOR
CHAINLUBRICATION. Use this
parameter to set the pause time
between the chain lubrication pulses.
Lower value gives more lubrication,
higher value gives less.
DOWN RAMP FOR SAW MOTOR
(0.01s). Use this parameter to adjust
the ramp duration for saw motor stop.
When the cut button is released the
saw motor rpm will gradually slow
down to minimize the stress on the
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
saw motor if this parameter is properly
adjusted.
Saw Bar Position. Click on ? and
row # 1-7 for helptext
SAW POSITION CALIBRATION. Cut
wait, automatic cut, felling cut, stump
treatment and color marking are all
functions that rely on the computer
knowing where the saw bar is
positioned during the cutting cycle.
The saw bar's position is measured
with a position sensor. The computer
must be calibrated to know what
diameter log the saw can cut for each
pulse received from the saw position
sensor. This table is the default
calibration values and is the base for
"Felling cut control" and "Cross-cut
control" See CABS Win/Dos OMM for
further information.
Automatic Felling. Click on ? and
row # 1-7 for helptext
FELLING CUT CONTROL
COMPENSATION. Use this parameter
to set the distance the bar shall travel
during automatic felling. The distance
is based on the diameter measured
between the feed rollers. The value is
set in % i.e. 110 % means the bar
travels 10% more than the measured
diameter. There are settings for each
tree species because of different
tapering. When the cut button is
pressed and held down the saw bar
swings out according to the settings in
this table. The cutting can be
interrupted anytime by releasing the
button. The second time the button is
pressed the cut will go on as long as
the button is held down. For each "Tilt
up" the function is reset.
Cross-cut. Click on ? and row # 1-7
for helptext
CROSS CUTTING CONTROL
COMPENSATION. The computer can
be calibrated so that the saw bar does
3:62
not travel too far during a crosscut.
The computer measures the diameter
between the feed rollers. This diameter
is then transferred the distance given
in the variable "Distance Between Saw
Bar And Diameter Sensor(s)".
Therefore, the computer knows the
diameter of the tree at the saw. The
value is given in percent. Increasing
the value increases the travel of the
saw bar. Adjust this value so that the
saw bar cuts through the tree with as
little overcutting as possible. This will
increase your production and the
service life of the saw motor. If the
head is equipped with color marking it
is very important that the saw bar does
not cut too far. This may cause the
paint to be sprayed on the saw bar
instead of the log.
Saw Time Warning
TIME LIMIT FOR WORN SAW CHAIN
(0.01s). Use this parameter to set the
amount of time that a crosscut can
take place before the computer
displays a "Long Sawing Time" error.
This function is only activated above
the diameter set in the "Diameter Limit
For Worn Saw Chain" parameter. This
function alerts the operator about the
risk of log cracks.
DIAMETER LIMIT FOR WORN SAW
CHAIN (mm). Use this parameter to
select the diameter, in millimeters,
above which the computer will monitor
how long time it takes to crosscut a
log. This function alerts the operator
about the risk of log cracks.
Distance
DISTANCE BETWEEN SAW BAR
AND DIAMETER SENSORS (cm). Use
this parameter to set the distance, in
centimeters, between the saw bar and
the point for diameter measurement.
The diameter is measured between the
feed rollers. This parameter allows the
diameter to be measured at the feed
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
rollers and to be displayed on the
computer screen as "Diameter At Saw"
after the tree has fed this distance.
DISTANCE BETWEEN SAW BAR
AND QUALITY CHANGE POINT (cm).
Use this parameter to set the distance,
in centimeters, between the saw bar
and the reference point for quality
change. For example, if the delimbing
knives are used as the point to define
the change in quality of the log the
distance between the saw and
delimbing knives should be entered.
DISTANCE BETWEEN SAW AND
TOP SAW (cm). Use this parameter to
adjust the distance between the saw
and the top saw. This distance is used
by the computer to register the correct
length of the log that is cut by the top
saw.
DISTANCE BETWEEN SAW AND
PHOTOCELL (cm). Use this parameter
to set the distance between the saw
and the photocell if a photocell is
mounted.
Automatic
CUT-WAIT OUTSIDE OF CUTTING
ZONE (ON/OFF). Use this parameter
to determine if it will be possible to cut
a log outside of the cutting zone. The
log must have fed to a length that is
between the minimum and maximum
length for the selected assortment. If
"On" is selected, when the "Saw"
button is pressed, the feeding will stop
and the log will be cut. This function
only works below the diameter set for
Dia Limit For Cut-Wait Outside Of Cut
Zone.
AUTOMATIC CUT AT NEXT
CROSSCUT (ON/OFF). If the operator
has selected "Cut-Wait", this
parameter allows the next log to be
automatically cut once it reaches the
cutting zone. This function is not
active below the diameter programmed
3:63
for "Dia Limit For Cut-Wait Outside Of
Cut Zone". If "On" is selected the next
log will automatically be crosscut if the
"Saw" button is briefly pressed during
feeding.
DIA LIMIT FOR CUT-WAIT OUTSIDE
OF CUTTING ZONE (mm). Use this
parameter to set the diameter, in
millimeters, below which cut-waiting is
allowed outside of the cutting zone.
The fed length of the log must be
between the minimum and maximum
length for the selected assortment to
be able to cut the log. The parameter
CUT-WAIT OUTSIDE OF CUTTING
ZONE must also be set to "On".
AUTO START AFTER CROSS CUT.
During automatic processing, use this
parameter to select how the head will
restart after a crosscut. "Off" means
that the operator must press the "Start"
button after each crosscut to restart the
feeding. "In window" means that the
head will automatically restart after a
crosscut in the cutting window. "Not
Manual" means that feeding will not
restart after a log has been manually
fed and crosscut. "Not First Log"
means that the "Start" button need only
be pressed after the first log in each
new assortment has been cut. For
example, if the computer has
processed a saw log, and the forecast
says that next log will be pulp, the
head will not restart. "Start" must be
pressed in order restart the feeding.
This selection can help the operator
reduce the risk of mixing logs.
DELAY SAW BAR FEEDING (0.01s).
Use this parameter to adjust the delay
before the saw bar starts to swing out
after the saw motor has been
activated. Too short delay prevents the
saw motor from reaching its desired
speed before the saw bar hits the log.
Too long delay causes the saw motor
to over speed before it hits the log.
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
Optimized function will increase the
saw motor service life.
VALVE FUNCTION FOR SAW BAR
FEEDING (OUT/IN). Set this
parameter to "IN" for3000 and 5000 II
to "In" and out for all other heads.
DIAMETER LIMIT FOR TOP SAW
(mm). Use this parameter to adjust the
diameter that will activate the top saw
function. Below this diameter the top
saw will be activated automatically.
DIA. LIMIT FOR $ CUT (mm) Use this
parameter to adjust the diameter when
the automatic cut ($) becomes is
activated.
AUTOMATIC CHAIN TENSIONER
(ON/OFF). Use this variable to set if
there is an automatic chain tensioner.
*ALLOW CUTTING CONTROL IN
MULTI TREE MODE (ON/OFF). If off
no cutting control is allowed when in
Multi tree mode. If on the cutting
control will work as normal also in multi
tree mode.
Tilt
Times
DELAY TILT UP (0.01s). This "Delay
Tilt Up" parameter gives the delimbing
knife, holding arm, and feed roller arms
time to open before the head begins to
tilt up. This parameter can be used at
the end of processing a tree to give the
remaining tree residue time to fall out
of the head before it is tilted up.
Increasing this value results in
increased delay time.
PUSHTIME FOR TILT DOWN (0.01s).
Use this parameter to adjust the
amount of time the tilt down function
will be activated after automatic felling.
Increasing the value increases the
push time. This time does not start
until the saw bar has reached the
3:64
diameter that the computer has
forecasted to cut. This function does
not work if the operator fells the tree
using "Manual Cutting". It is possible to
interrupt the push time by pressing the
"Stop/Pause" button.
DELAY FOR MAINTAINING TILT UP
(0.01s). Use this parameter to set the
amount of time the operator can press
and hold the "Tilt Up" button without
the head staying in the tilted up
position.
Automatic
TILT UP AFTER HEAD OPENING
(ON/OFF). When "On" is selected the
head will tilt up when the head is
opened using the "Head Open" toggle
switch.
*OPEN AT TILT UP (ON/OFF). Use
this parameter to select if the head will
open (On) or not open (Off) after
pressing the "Tilt Up" button.
TILT UP AFTER AUTO FINISH
(ON/OFF). Use this parameter to
select if the head will tilt up
automatically after the head has
finished processing a tree. If "On" is
selected the head will tilt up. If "Off" is
selected the head will not tilt up.
Tilt Down
*DIA. LIMIT FOR TILT DOWN PULSE
AT FEED FORWARD (mm). Use this
parameter to adjust the diameter that
will automatically activate tilt down at
start of feed forward. This function is to
prevent the head from moving away
from the tree at start of feed forward.
The function is activated when the
measured diameter is greater than the
diameter set in this parameter.
*TILT DOWN PULSE DURATION AT
START OF FEED FORWARD (0.01s).
Use this parameter to set the duration
of tilt down signal at start of feed
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
forward. This function is only activated
when the diameter is greater than the
diameter set in parameter DIA LIMIT
FOR TILT DOWN PULSE AT FEED
FORWARD.
*DIA. LIMIT FOR AUTO TILT DOWN
(mm). Use this parameter to adjust the
diameter at which the head will
automatically tilt down during feeding
to prevent the tree from being fed into
the ground.
Basic Settings
Automatic
PREDELIMBING LENGTH (cm). Use
this parameter to set how far the head
feeds past the cutting zone, in
centimeters, before it reverses back to
the cutting zone. Adjust this parameter
so that after making a crosscut, the
head achieves maximum speed before
reaching the non-delimbed area.
Having the head reach maximum
speed ensures that it will have the
maximum delimbing force when it
begins processing the next log.
Generally, a value of 30-40 cm will
allow adequate predelimbing. If the
parameter is set to "0 cm", the head
will not predelimb the log. This
parameter is only active above the
diameter set in Diameter limit for
predelimbing.
QUALITY REPETITION (ON/OFF).
The operator can manually tell the
computer the sequence of log qualities
for a tree, prior to processing. Setting
this parameter to "On" allows that
manual quality selection to be
automatically used for the next tree. If
this parameter is set to "Off", a new
quality sequence must be programmed
for each new tree. To set up pre-
selectable qualities the button "Show
Quality Window" has to be pressed.
TREE SPECIE REPETITION
(ON/OFF). If "On" is selected, the last
3:65
selected tree specie will be used for
the next tree. If "Off" is selected, the
operator must select the tree species
of each new tree. It is important to
select the correct tree specie before
felling the tree.
DIAMETER LIMIT FOR
PREDELIMBING (mm). Use this
parameter to set the diameter, in
millimeters, above which the head will
feed past the cutting zone and then
back to the cutting zone. This
parameter is only active if a value has
been programmed for the Predelimbing
Length.
*STOP-PAUSE BUTTON
FUNCTIONALITY (STOP/PAUSE). If
"Stop" is selected for this parameter,
processing will stop when the stop
button is pressed. If "Pause" is
selected, processing will only pause
when the stop button is pressed and
held down. Processing will continue
when the stop button is released.
Processing can also be stopped by
briefly pressing the "Feed Forward"
button.
DELAY FOR AUTO FINISH (0.01s).
Use this parameter to set a delay for
auto finish (Head open). The delay
time starts when the computer is done
processing a tree. At the same time
there is a chirp sound. When the time
is ended the head will open. If variable
"Tilt up after auto finish" is set to "ON"
the head will also tilt up. Note that
there is a delay also for "Tilt up" The
purpose with this function is to allow
the operator to move the head away
from the log pile to avoid the top of the
tree to fall into the log pile.
SEQUENCE CONTROL WITH HEAD
CLOSE (ON/OFF). Use this function to
turn the sequence function on and off.
See OMM for further information
regarding processing a tree with
sequence control.
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
DELAY FOR FELLING SIGNAL AT
SEQUENCE CONTROL (0.01s). Use
this parameter to adjust the time that
the head close function must be
activated before the felling signal is
activated.
START BY SPECIE BUTTON (Off/On).
Starts feeding with specie button, does
not work if tree specie repetition is on.
The "Start" button will be de-activated
with this selection.
START BY LENGTH BUTTON
(Off/On). Starts feeding directly with
length button instead of start button +
length button.
HOLD THE GRIP LEVER TO FEED
(ON/OFF). When this function is
activated automatic feeding and
automatic cut is not allowed until the
grip lever is pressed. To cut
automatically the cut mode also must
be set to be automatic.
Tree Finish
BROKEN TOP DIAMETER (mm). Use
this parameter to set the diameter, in
millimeters, when the harvesting head
will stop feeding regardless of the
bucking instructions. This parameter
prevents trees with broken tops above
the minimum diameter in the bucking
instructions from feeding out of the
head. This setting must be set above
the lowest minimum diameter that can
be read on the computer display for
any tree species (because the
computer calculates diameter under
bark for each tree species). If this
diameter is set too high, the head will
not be able to process trees down to
the minimum diameter in the bucking
instructions. This is because this
variable uses the diameter value from
the feed rollers and the bucking
instructions uses the diameter value at
the saw. The value set for "Broken
Top Diameter" has priority over the
3:66
minimum diameters in the bucking
instructions.
ACTION AT NO MORE LOGS AFTER
CROSSCUT. Use this parameter to
select what the head will do when the
currently measured diameter is greater
than the minimum diameter for the
selected assortment but the forecasted
top diameter of the next log is not big
enough to produce another log of the
minimum length. "Nothing" means that
the head will continue to feed until it
has reached the minimum diameter for
the selected assortment or the
minimum diameter for the delimbing
knives (diameter set in "Broken Top
Diameter"). Broken top diameter has
priority over the minimum diameter for
selected assortment. "Stop" means
that the head will stop. "Finish" means
that the head will follow any
programmed automatic functions for
when the harvester head is finished
processing a tree.
ACTION AT NO MORE LOGS
DURING FEEDING. Use this
parameter to select what the head will
do during processing when the
currently measured diameter is greater
than the minimum diameter for the
selected assortment but the forecasted
top diameter is not big enough to
produce another log of the minimum
length. "Nothing" means that the head
will continue to feed until it has reaches
the minimum diameter for the selected
assortment or the minimum diameter
for the delimbing knives (diameter set
in "Broken Top Diameter"). Broken top
diameter has priority over the minimum
diameter for selected assortment.
"Stop" means that the head will stop.
"Finish" means that the head will follow
any programmed automatic functions
for when the harvester head is finished
processing a tree.
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
ACTION AT WRONG MANUAL
SELECTON. Use this parameter to
select what the harvester head will do
if the operator manually selects a
length that is not in the price matrix for
the current log. "Stop" means that the
head will stop. "Recalculate" means
that the computer will make a new
calculation.
ACTION AT MINIMUM DIAMETER.
Use this parameter to select what the
head will do when the minimum
diameter for the selected assortment is
reached. "Finish" means that the head
will follow any programmed automatic
functions for when the harvester head
is finished processing a tree. "Nothing"
means that feeding will continue until
the minimum length for selected
assortment is reached. This will allow
the operator to process the last log
without having to manually feed. The
log will be registered as a manual
selection in the production report. To
allow the computer to follow the
"Nothing" selection, the variable Action
At No Logs During Feeding must be
set to something else than "Nothing".
ACTION AT BROKEN TOP
DIAMETER. Use this parameter to
select what the head will do when it is
processing a tree with a diameter
larger than the minimum diameter for
selected assortment, and then
suddenly measures the value
programmed for "Broken Top
Diameter". "Nothing" means that the
head will continue to process the tree
according to the bucking instructions.
"Stop" means that the head will stop.
"Finish" means that the head will follow
any programmed automatic functions
for when the harvester head is finished
processing a tree.
DELAY FOR DIAMETER RESET
(0.01s). Use this parameter to set how
long time the head open button can be
activated without resetting the diameter
3:67
reading. The purpose with this feature
is to allow the operator to open the
head in special situations without
resetting the diameter value.
Machine
DELAY FOR HIGH PRESSURE
(0.01s). Use this parameter to select
how long the implement pump will
remain upstroked after the saw
function or the feed function has
stopped. This time should be set just
long enough for the pump to stay
upstroked when the head changes
from "feeding to sawing" or "sawing to
feeding". This parameter will allow the
feed rollers and saw motor to start
quicker because the pump will already
be upstroked. If this time overlaps with
the time the operator is using the stick-
boom, the boom-stick could function
abnormally for this amount of time.
Generally, a value of 30 is
recommended for this parameter.
DIAMETER LIMIT FOR ENGINE RPM
INCREASE (mm). Use this parameter
to adjust the diameter, in millimeters,
above which the engine will
increase/maintain the selected engine
rpm. This parameter allows the saw
motor to cut faster and reduce the risk
for log cracks. The amount of engine
rpm increase is controlled by the base
machine control system. In general, a
value of 150 can be programmed for
this parameter.
DELAY FOR MEDIUM PRESSURE
(0.01s). Use this parameter to adjust
the time that the implement system will
stay at medium pressure level after a
head function has been activated.
*ONE OR TWO PRESSURE LEVELS
(ONE/TWO). Use this parameter to set
if the head is working with one or two
pressure levels.
*CABIN BOX MOUNTED (YES/NO)
Used to prevent error messages for
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY

displacement for minor functions.
*ESCAVATOR HYDRAULICS
(ON/OFF). Used at excavator
installations. Buttons for the help
functions will activate pump 1, pump 2
activates by saw and feeding as usual.
*TILT UP = PUMP 1 (ON/OFF). Can
be used with "escavator hydraulics", to
prohibit the head from falling forward at
tilt up. The tilt up output activates pump
1.
*DELAY PUMP 1 BY TILT UP (0.01s).
Pump 1 will be activated by tilt up
button + this delay time if "Tilt up =
Pump 1" is OFF.
ON TIME DISPLACEMENT FOR
MINOR FUNCTIONS (0-255). Sets the
on time for minor functions

DISPLACEMENT SAW (0-255). Sets
the displacement for saw.
DISPLACEMENT FEEDING (0-255).
Sets the displacement for feeding.
DISPLACEMENT NO FUNCTINS (0-
255). Sets the displacement when no
functions are activated.
Head
LENGTH PULSES PER METER (#).
Use this parameter to set the number
of pulses that the computer receives
when the tree has fed 1 meter through
the head.
*TOP SAW IS MOUNTED (ON/OFF).
Use this parameter to set if the head is
equipped with a top saw (On) or if the
head is NOT equipped with a top saw
(Off).
3:68
*PHOTO CELL MOUNTED (ON/OFF).
Use this parameter to set if the head is
equipped with top saw (On) or not
(Off).
DISCONNECT DIA SENSOR. This
variable can be used to temporary
disconnect a diameter sensor. No new
calibration is needed.
*LIFT UPPER KNIFE (ON/OFF). This
parameter can be used to lift the upper
knife. NOTE! Works only if the head is
equipped with a extra valve to lift the
upper knife. Extra knives and Lift upper
knife can not be used on the same
time since they share the same output.
*RETRACTABLE MEASURING
WHEEL (ON/OFF). Electrically
controlled valve for measuring wheel
mounted. Retracts measuring wheel
until automatic feeding is started. The
button "Measuring wheel" toggles the
signal. An extra analogue (green)
output box has to be mounted.
*EXTRA OUTPUT BOX (ON/OFF). An
additional analogue (green) output box
mounted. This variable has to be
switched ON if a function controlled
from this box shall be used.
*EXTRA KNIVES (ON/OFF). Extra
knives are an optional attachment and
improves delimbing of the tree butt end
and of the tree top. Extra knives and
Lift upper knife can not be used on the
same time since they share the same
output.
*EXTRA INPUT BOX (ON/OFF). An
additional (red) input box mounted.
This variable has to be switched ON if
a signal read by this box shall be used.
FOUR POINT DIMETER

in lower knife. When you set-up
diameter B, use following diameters:
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
LOW PRESSURE VALVE EXISTS
(YES/NO). If low pressure valve exist
chose Yes, if not chose No.
DISABLE ROLLER ARMS OPEN
OUTPUT (YES/NO). If the roller arms
open output is not used the output can
be disabled (error code will be
suppressed).
DISABLE SAW BAR IN/OUT OUTPUT
(YES/NO). If the sawbar in/out output
is not used it can be disabled (error
code will be suppressed).
DISABLE EASY GREASY OUTPUT
(YES/NO). If the Easy Greasy output is
not used the output can be disabled
(error will be code suppressed).
Color Marking
SAW BAR POSITION FOR COLOR
MARKING ACTIVATION (# of Pulses).
Use this parameter to select the
number of pulses that the computer
must receive from the saw position
sensor, before the color marking
system starts to spray paint. "Selected
Pulse" must be selected in the Color
Marking Method for this parameter to
be functional.
SPRAY TIME FOR COLOR MARKING
(0.01s). Use this parameter to select
the amount of time that the color
marking system will be active. This
parameter is functional for both color
marking methods. A too long time will
cause high usage of paint. A too short
time will cause insufficient marking of
the log.
*COLOR MARKING METHOD. "Cut
through" means that the color marking
pumps will start to spray when the saw
bar has reached the forecasted cut
diameter. "Cut Through" should be
used if the color marking nozzles are
mounted in the holding arm. If "Cut
Through" is selected, you must
program values for Delay For Color
3:69
Marking After Cut Through and Spray
Time For Color Marking. Saw Bar
Position For Color Marking. "Selected
Pulse" allows the color marking pumps
to start spraying before the log is cut
through. "Selected Pulse" should be
used if the color marking paint is
sprayed through the saw bar. If
"Selected Pulses" is selected, you
must program values for Saw Bar
Position For Color Marking Activation
and Spray Time For Color Marking.
DELAY FOR COLOR MARKING
AFTER CUT THROUGH (0.01s). Use
this parameter to adjust the delay after
the saw has cut through the log, before
the color marking pumps begin to
spray. This function is only active if
"Cut Through" is selected under Color
Marking Method.
Stump Treatment
ACTIVATION DELAY FOR STUMP
TREATMENT (0.01s). Use this
parameter to set when the stump
treatment begins to spray after the
"Saw" button is first pressed.
DEACTIVATION DELAY FOR STUMP
TREATMENT (0.01s). Use this
parameter to select how much longer
the stump treatment will spray. The
time starts when the saw bar stops
swinging out according to the
forecasted cut diameter or when "Saw"
button is released, whichever occurs
first.
TREE SPECIES FOR STUMP
TREATMENT. Use this parameter to
select which tree species will receive
stump treatment. The tree species
names are programmed in the bucking
instructions.
Multi tree
MULTI TREE HANDLING (ON/OFF).
This parameter can only be used if a
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY
head for Multi tree handling is used.
Else it should be set to off.
DELAY SAW AT SEQUENCE
CONTROL (0.01s). Delay time before
the saw starts at sequense control.
DELAY START ACCUMULATION
(O.01s). Use this parameter to set the
delay between feed roller close and
accumulation start.
*PULSE OPENING TIME DEL.
KNIVES AT ACCUMULATION (0.01).
Use this variable to set the pulse
opening time for delimbing knives at
accumulation. The opening is to make
it easier to open the accumulation
arms.
*DEL. KNIVES PAUSE TIME AT
ACCUMULATION (0.01s). Use this
parameter to set how long time the
delimbing knives stays open after
pulse opening at accumulation.
*TIME ACCUMULATION ARMS OPEN
(0.01s). Use this variable to set the
opening time of the accumulator arms.
*DELAY FEED ROLLER OPEN AT
ACCUMULATION (0.01s). Use this
parameter to set the time between
delimbing knives close and pulse open
feedroller arms at accumulation mode.
*TIME FEED ROLLER ARMS OPEN
(0.01s). Feed roller arms opening time
at accumulation.
PULSE OPENING TIME FEED
ROLLER ARMS AFTER FEEDING
(0.01s). Pulse open feed roller arms
after feeding in MTH mode. When
feeding stops it is possible to set a
pulse opening to lift up the stems
before cut. Use this variable to set the
time.
PULSE OPENING DEL. KNIVES AT
FEEDING MTH MODE (0.01s). Use
this variable to set the duration for
delimbing knives at start of feeding in
3:70
MTH mode. After pulse opening the
del. knives can stay open if variable
FREEZE DEL: KNIVES AT MTH
FEEDING" is set to on.
MINIMUM TIME BETWEEN DEL.
KNIVES PULSE OPENINGS (0.01s).
The lower knife and delimbing knives
receives a opening pulse every time
feeding is activated to improve the
starting performance. Use this variable
to adjust how long time must pass
before a new pulse opening comes in
MTH mode. If this value is set too low
the pulse opening may open toomuch
and cause the log to fall down if the
feeding is activated frequently.
PULSE OPENING TIME LOWER
KNIFE AT FEEDING IN MTH MODE
(0.01s). Use this variable to set the
duration for lower knife open at start of
feeding in MTH mode. After pulse
opening the holding arm can stay open
if variable "Freeze lower knife at MTH
feeding" is set to on.
PREVENT KNIVES CLOSE DURING
FEEDING (ON/OFF). When "ON" a
looser delimbing of the bundle will be
made.
Extra knife
FEEDING DISTANCE WITH EXTRA
KNIVES (cm). If extra knives is
mounted it is necessary to adjust how
long distance this extra knives should
be activated at start of feeding on each
new tree. The extra knives can be
activated automatically by each tree
specie or manually with a key function.
TREE SPECIE FOR EXTRA KNIVES.
Use this parameter to set at which tree
specie the extra knives should be
automatically activated.
DIAMETER LIMIT FOR EXTRA
KNIVES (mm). Used to improve the
delimbing of smaller diameters. The
extra knives will be activated during
APPENDIX 1: MACHINE VARIABLES AND KEY

feeding of selected specie when the

diameter falls below this limit. The
extra knives can be activated
automatically by specie or manually by
the extra knives button.
Analog buttons
*HEAD OPEN MAX (0-255). Maximum
signal from head open button, must be
given to a void long dead zones on the
signal band. Test under
Machine/Test/KU, 5:th analog key.
*HEAD CLOSE MAX (0-255).
Maximum signal from head close
button, must be given to a void long
dead zones on the signal band. Test
under Machine/Test/KU, 6:th analog
key.
Sound
SOUND AT DIAMETER LIMIT (mm).
Use this parameter to select a
diameter at which a sound can be
heard. This function is available to
make the operator aware that certain
diameter has been reached in order to
sort logs.
