2 Installing the application
The FLYING SHEAR application must be installed on the ADV200(/S) drive to be used.
The operations to be performed are listed below.
• Run the FS_6_0_22_0_setup.exe application to set up the installation on a PC.

• Open the GF_eXpress configurator (catalogue version > 2.42)
• Connect the PC to the drive using the serial cable.
• On the GF_eXpress, select the ADV200 inverter (for asynchronous motors) and ADV200S inverter (for
synchronous motors).
• Once communication with the drive has been established, select the Download Firmware item on the
command bar. Then the window depicted below will appear. In that window, select the FLYING SHEAR
application (A1 to load the application on memory sector 1, A2 to load the application on memory sector
2).
During this operation, do not turn off the drive.
 Once the firmware has been loaded, the application has to be enabled on the drive:
o Select the “expert” mode using the Access Mode parameter (PAR 554, DRIVE CONFIG menu).
o Select the application: Application 1 if the FlyingShear_..._A1 application was loaded
Application 2 if the FlyingShear_..._A2 application was loaded
o Save and reset the drive. At the start, the drive will show the message, “Flying Shear V...” on the
display to confirm that the drive has been loaded.
 Perform a default load of the application parameters (App load def, PAR 11524) and then save. Restart
GF_eXpress. This will automatically recognize the application version and select the appropriate
parameters.
Then, configuration can begin.

2.1 Application key
This application must be registered.
Register by entering a code supplied by Gefran.
Enter the code as follows:
 Connect to the drive using the GF_eXpress configurator or read the parameter indicated in the next point
using the keypad.
 Write down the Serial Number indicated in Regulation S/N (PAR 11516, FLYING SHEAR \ Application
menu).
 Contact Gefran support and provide the serial number you just read to obtain the application unlock key.
 Enter the unlock code in the Application key parameter field (PAR 572, CONFIG DRIVE menu).
 Save and reset the drive. At the start, the drive will no longer show the “Key Expiring” message on the
display, confirming that the drive has been unlocked.

3 General description
The blade or cutting assembly is fixed onto a carriage that can move forwards and backwards, piloted by the
application. The application measures the length of the material to be cut by a metric wheel binding onto the
material.
For each position of the material from zero up to the cutting length and according to other mechanical
parameters, the application produces the carriage position and therefore the blade position.
The speed profile is the relationship between the material speed and the carriage speed, see figura 1.
The speed profile consists of:
• the first waiting phase where the material slides under the still carriage;
• the second phase called acceleration forward. During this phase the carriage reaches the speed of the
• material;
• The third phase is synchronization. The carriage proceeds synchronized with the material to reduce
as much as possible any positional error between the carriage and the material;
• The fourth phase is the cut. The application displays the indication ReadyToCut enabling the start of the
cut.
• The application proceeds in synchronization with the material up to the end of the cutting space;
• At this point the application returns the carriage to its start position and immediately starts the waiting
phase.
.
Note:
1) Each phase provides for a defined shift using an electric cam, with its position set according to the
different parameters. The space used for each phase is calculated according to the maximum speed
allowed for the material.
2) Even if the material flows slowly, each phase uses the same space. This means that, at the end of the
cutting phase, the carriage always advances to the same point regardless of the speed.
3) The space used by the carriage and maximum speed vary depending on the set cutting length.

4.2.3 Encoder
4.2.3.1 Encoder definitions
The encoder mounted on the carriage motor must be defined using the Encoder sel src parameter (PAR
5310, ENCODER \ ENCODER CONFIG menu). According to table 3:
Encoder sel src Carriage encoders Metric wheel encoder

Null ENCODER 1 ENCODER 2
One ENCODER 2 ENCODER 1
Table 3: Metric wheel / carriage Encoder selection
The metric wheel encoder selection is essential for the system to function properly. The choice depends on
the geometry of the metric wheel and of the carriage.
The encoder resolution used on the metric wheel must be greater than or equal to the encoder resolution of
the carriage motor.
In other words, the ratio between the advancement of the carriage and the carriage motor ppr encoders must
be similar to the ratio between the advancement of the metric wheel and the metric wheel ppr encoders.
The number of the required pprs on the metric wheel encoder can be calculated as follows:
𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 𝑊𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 [𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚]

𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 𝑊𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 = ∗ 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝

Suppose we have a cutting system with these specifications:

• The carriage advances 36 mm per motor revolution.
• The encoder on the carriage motor has 1024 ppr.
• The advancement of the metric wheel on the material is 314 mm.
In this case, an encoder with 8192 ppr is suitable.

Drive behaviour can be improved at lower speeds:

• By configuring the encoders to work in Digital FP mode, setting the ENCODER \ ENCODER 1(...2)
\ Encoder 1(...2) parameters mode (PAR 2132 / 5132).
• By configuring the MW enc mode parameter (PAR 11444, MechRelations menu) =
LowSpeedMode.

On Off CutLength, CutTimeBus and CmdRegister are read by the
fieldbus.
See section 6-26.04 in this manual for more details
Set the Fieldbus M->S enable parameter to “Disable” to start testing the machine without
sending data through the fieldbus.
It has to be set to “Enable” for the final test.

4.3 Commissioning
4.3.1 Start-up
Start up is performed after machine development. If development was done with Gefran’s ShearTool, most
of the required data are already in the sizing report.
The drive is disabled:
• Start by inserting the mechanical data and metric wheel:

Refers to FLYINGSHEAR\5-MechanicalRelations menu, and set all the values.
For more details see chapter 6-26.05.
• Continue by setting speed and ramp times:

Refers to FLYINGSHEAR\2-Ramp menu, and set all the values.
For more details see chapter 6-26.02
At this stage, leave the VirtualMstSpeed parameter (PAR 11356) set at zero.
• Now enter the data for the cut:

Refers to FLYINGSHEAR\6-FlyingShear menu, and set all the values.
4.3.2 Basic command
JOG Forward / Backwards
Carries out jogging (jog). The parameters are Jog Speed (PAR 11274) and JogRamp (PAR 11152).
When the hardware limit switches are reached, a FastStop command is given. No carriage movement is thus
possible.
Use the PLC to remove the FastStop and bring the carriage back to the usable space.
Jog status can be reached with the JogCmd+ and JogCmd- commands from a Stop status.
When a zero cycle has not been executed, the software limit switches are not defined in Jog,
so they can be surpassed.
FAST STOP
When a FastStop command is given, at the application level, the drive switches to speed control with speed
reference at 0. The ramp used is FastStop Ramp (PAR 11486).
When the FastStop command is applied, an ApplicationAlarmCause (PAR 12010) indication is generated
To restart, the drive must be disabled. We advise using the ClearAlarm command (by CommandReg, PAR
12114) to reset the ApplicationAlarmCause value.
Note: This command is logical OR for FastStopDig (from digital input not allowed), FastStopBus (from field
bus) and FastStopSer (from serial).
VirtuaMstStartCmd
Start/Stop of the metric wheel simulator.

It is used to test the machine without material. The material measurement signal is generated by the application
itself.
Set MetricWheelSel (PAR 11378) to VirtualMaster. Parameters are: VirtualMstSpeed (PAR 11356) and
VirtualMstRamp (PAR 11466).

ZeroQualifier
Zero qualifier input. Only from digital input. The zero qualifier indicates when the system has reached the home
position. Depending on the zero cycle setting, once the qualifier has been reached, the carriage is moved to
find the first zero index of the encoder or stopped and the position that is reached is the zero position.
VirtualEnableCmd
Drive enable from field bus (VirtualEnableCmdBus) or serial (VirtualEnableCmdSer). The command is active
on the edge. The drive enable is given by an AND between VirtualEnableCmdBus, VirtualEnableCmdSer
and the DI0 digital input.
When the Bus control is disabled, VirtualEnableCmdBus is set to TRUE.
SysClearAlarm
Zeros the drive alarms. Active to 1. The command is only effective if RunCmd is set to zero and the drive is
disabled.
ResetWarningCmd
Zeros the code ApplicationAlarmCause. Active to 1. Must be sent with RuncCmd equal to zero and the drive
disabled. The SysClearAlarm can be used for the same purpose.
ImmediateCut
Works in the Camming state. Activates immediate cutting regardless of the length that has been reached.
The carriage is synchronized and the cut is performed.
RunCmd
It is the command that automates the use of the drive. When it passes from 0 to 1, a series of operations are
carried out.
1. Checks to see if the zero sequence has been done. If negative, the zero sequence is carried out;
otherwise it passes to point 3.
2. Zero sequence
3. A Move is done to position 0. The zero position is the found Index position added of ZeroOffset value.
This is the zero reference for the system
4. Wait of 0.5 sec
5. Cutting command (if enabled, initial cut).
6. Wait of 0.5 sec.
7. Starts to follow the material. At this stage the line can be started.
The start of the follow and cut is subject to the execution of the zero cycle and the header cut.
Removing the RunCmd command, the carriage stops with StopRamp slope. If the carriage stops (limits) are
exceeded an OverLimitPosition error is issued stopping with the FastStop ramp. The operation state is showed
on RunCmdState (PAR 12092).
The work cycle can be interrupted by:
RunCmd at 0. The motor goes to zero speed with JogRamp.

This is the normal way used.
Setting RunCmd again repeats the above sequence.
FastStop command. The system stops with the FastStop ramp.

The RunCmd command must be removed.
Otherwise, the system restarts abnormally trying to follow the material.

4.3.3 Check-up of movements
Select MetricWheelSel = VirtualMaster

We now continue with the Start up phase by checking the data inserted and machine movements.
The mode now described uses the GF_eXpress and serial connections. A serial cable and a RS_485
adapter are necessary. The operations could be carried out by the PLC as well, however, they would be
more complex. The operations cannot be done by using digital commands only.
The controls will be passed integrally to the serial line. To enable this set Cmd from bus (PAR 11068) OFF
and Cmd from serial (PAR 11144) ON. These are found in the Miscellaneous menu.
On the command page FS_CMD_PAGE of the GF_eXpress configurator all useful measurements are
shown.
The following operations require the machine in motion.

Unforeseen machine movement is always possible. Take this into account and take the necessary
precautions.
The operation described can be (must be) initially carried out with the motor disconnected from the machine.
Once the functions have been tested, the operations can be repeated with the motor connected to the
machine.
Set VirtualEnableCmd ON (Red

Indicator). All other indicators
must be Green.
Using the monitor window,

display: DriveStatus, MotorSpd.
Set the enable digital input, terminal 7, to + 24V.
Direction checking
Jog forwards and Jog backwards. Check for movement in the correct direction. With Jog forward the carriage
advances in a positive direction and the MotorPosition increases.
Otherwise, reverse the motor phases and encoder channels A+ and A-.
Zero cycle positioning
Zero searching is to be checked out:

- Enable the drive VirtualEnableCmd (Red)
- Enable VirtualMstStartCmd (Red)
- Enable RunCmd (Red). The status must become ZeroCycle. The carriage must move towards the
zero position. Otherwise, remove RunCmd and invert SpeedZero and SpeedZero1. Repeat
RunCmd.

-
- As soon as the drive reaches the Camming state, remove RunCmd (set it to Green). The drive stops
in Enabled state.
When passing to camming, an initial butt cut is carried out. If the high blade and low blade
sensors are not connected, the drive will go to an alarm state, with Appl alarm cause (PAR
12010) = Cut not completed
4.3.4 Verification tests
4.3.4.1 Carriage length development
The Jog command is used. After the zero cycle position measurement is active.
Mark the position on the carriage and register the MotorPosition (PAR 12076) position. The carriage moves
with Jog forward or Jog backwards depending on the direction desired. Measure the distance travelled
confronting the distance to the difference of the two MotorPosition positions. Adjust the CarriageDisp (PAR
11136) value if any errors occur.
4.3.4.2 Longitudinal development of the metric wheel
a) Check the longitudinal development of the metric wheel. Read MetricWheelPos (PAR 12070). This
value must increase as the material advances. If the direction is in error set Reverse MW (PAR 11370)
ON.
b) Check that the measurement is congruent.
The mechanical displacement must be set in MetricWheelDisp2nd (PAR 11134). It is the material
displacement for one wheel turn of the second metric wheel.
The two wheels must be switched by an appropriate circuit external to the drive.
The active metric wheel is set by ActiveMetricWheel. Setting it to Off the main wheel. If On the secondary
wheel. The change cannot be made when the machine is moving.
Both the wheel must count in the same direction. In other words, they both have to count in the
same direction as the advancement of the material. The Reverse MW (PAR 11370) command
acts on both.
4.3.4.3 Tests to control the metric wheel
The material may, at times, move suddenly and uncontrollably, when it sticks, puckers and is then released
again, causing the wheel to come away from the material.
Such movements, seen by the metric wheel, are followed by the saw carriage.
In these conditions it may be desirable to recognise the presence of irregular movements and set the
machine to the safety condition.
For this reason a series of metric wheel motion controls have been implemented. These can be divided into
two types:
a) Checking that the motion of the metric wheel is within the correct acceleration and speed ranges and
that the wheel does not move backwards;
b) Checking that the speed of the metric wheel is close to the line speed read by the PLC.

a) Checking that the motion of the metric wheel is within the correct accelerationand speed ranges
and that the wheel does not move backwards
The following limits can be set:
• maximum acceleration and deceleration of the metric wheel;
• maximum speed of the metric wheel;
• maximum backing of the wheel.
To facilitate evaluation of acceleration values and of the limits to be set, two parameters (Max bck acc mon,
PAR 11004 and Max frw acc mon, PAR 11008) indicate the maximum value of accelerations measured
during movements.
The operator must reset these and write their value as zero. During the movement these store the maximum
measured value. Another variable displays the current acceleration value.
Messages indicating that limits have been exceeded can be excluded by raising the limits to values that
cannot be reached.
b) Checking that the speed of the metric wheel is close to the line speed read by the PLC
The line speed can be sent to the drive, via fieldbus, to check whether the line speed and metric wheel
speed correspond. The drive verifies that the speed measured by the wheel is within a percentage range
calculated with respect to the LineSpeed value received by the PLC.
If the speed of the metric wheel remains outside the range for more than the time set in MW spd err time,
this is signalled. The out of range time is set to zero each time the speed returns to within the limit.
4.3.4.4 Checking with the virtual master
We can now proceed with the tests by simulating the metric wheel. Configure MetricWheelSel (PAR 11378)
to VirtualMaster.
VirtualMstSpeed (PAR 11356) is the speed of the virtual metric wheel.
Now set:
MeasureWheelFilter (PAR 11150) = 4 msec
CutPGain (PAR 11276) = 0.1%
During this phase, the following parameters must be copied to the GF_eXpress monitor window:
- DriveStatus,
- MetricWheelPos,
- MotorPosition,
- BarLength,
- RealCutLength.
Execute the following commands:

- RunCmd = OFF
- Enable the Drive
Checking DriveStatus, set RunCmd On (Red).

DriveStatus will pass through several states until it gets to Camming.
If the saw is out-of-position, it will travel to the zero position with a speed of MoveToSpeed.
An initial butt cut (if setted) will be carried out and the bar length will be reset.
After which MetricWheelPosition will start to increase.
(Note: during the first cycle, the waiting time at the zero position will be longer than the following cycles).
Check for any irregular movements, the space used (equal to UsedCarriage) and RealCutLength length
(equal to the required cutting length).

Having done the above, we can proceed to set the drive, by increasing the cycle speed (increasing the
VirtualMstSpeed, PAR 11356).

26.05 MechRelations Mechanical specifications, cutting the header
to size, third encoder
This menu allows one to:
• Enter the mechanical specifications for carriage and metric wheel movements.
Figure 6: Working area and stopping distances
• Managing the header being cut to size.

If you want to cut the first bar to size from the start and avoid header cutting, wire the material input
sensor and enable the function using the Heading cut sensor parameter (PAR 11502). Three
scenarios will be possible when the machine is started:
• The material tip is located behind the material input sensor:

The Fixed travel = [ON] parameter (PAR 11138, FlyingShear menu) and Head accomp = [OFF]
parameter (PAR 11010, FlyingShear menu) will be changed by the application based on the Src
material input status in (PAR 11490, Commands menu).
When the application runs through Camming, a blank cut is made. The material count will start by
engaging the material input sensor and the first bar will be cut to the length set in the Head cut
length parameter (PAR 11504, MechRelations menu). Then go on to the cuts to size.
• The tip of the material is located between the material input sensor and the cutting unit:
A header cut is made; then the cutting unit will support the tip until machine end. Then go on to
the cuts to size.
• The tip of the material is located on the cutting unit.

A header cut is made; then the cutting unit will support the tip until machine end, making a random
length cut. Then go on to the cuts to size.
• Third encoder management.

The material measurement function can be separated from the line speed function. An encoder placed
on the material will determine the cutting length. The speed the carriage moves comes from the drive
encoder for drawing and extraction movements.
To do this, set MW enc 3 (PAR 11510) to On.

The material is measured using encoder 3; movement reference uses encoder 2.
In addition, the two measurements are compared and if they exceed the Max cut error value (PAR
11522, MISCELLANEOUS menu) the Measure error enc3 indicator (PAR 12142, DRIVE STATUS
menu) goes up. It stays at this value until the next cycle.
The application generates the shear motor position reference every millisecond. This is calculated
based on the position of encoder two. Then the movement of the shear is obtained. A regulator acts
on the shear carriage position to ensure that the cut length meets the value set. This action takes place
during the forward acceleration phase and the synchronism phase, in other words when the shear
starts for the cut.
Without the third encoder, the same encoder produces the motion and correction signals. Therefore,
the two signals are the same and there are no differences in the information.
The third encoder allows the two functions to be separated. Encoder two generates the main
movement. Encoder three is part of the cutting length control.
This function is used on tracked machines where the motor encoder signal is not reliable for
measurement.
The measuring wheel encoder is disturbed.
The deviation between the two encoders tracking the material must be verified by a test. Actually, the
cut length control system will act based on the third encoder measurements and will have to
compensate for the differences in the values provided by encoders 2 and 3.
At the beginning of the tracking, a ramp from 0 to 1 that takes place in a PU Ramp time (PAR 11438,
GAINS menu) brings the gain from zero to its nominal value. This gradually activates the adjustment.
The error value applied to the control with the Max cut corr parameter (PAR 11528) can also be
limited.
A final limit is put on the correction applied to the carriage movement: Max carriage corr (PAR 11526).
It uses the motor revolutions as a measurement unit. With the value of one, the correction is equal to
the mm travelled with one motor revolution.
It is possible to enable only the conformity verification of the 2 signals received by the 2 encoders,
excluding the correction part, by enabling CheckEnc3 cut length (PAR 11514) and leaving MW enc
3 (PAR 11510) disabled.

26.06 FlyingShear Shear parameters,
material accomp, header, fixed stroke
This menu allows the setting of the maximum permissible speed for the data entered, the line space used by
the carriage, the possibility of accompanying the material to the bottom of the line and the main parameters of
the cutting system.
Figure 7: Speef profile
The figure 7 illustrates the motion profile of the shear.

The movement starts while the material is stopped and the carriage is stopped on point 0 (after doing a
positioning reset to zero).The butt cut is carried out and the Bar length (PAR 12012), is reset.
The motion of the carriage waits for the material to flow under the blade. Then accelerates (Acc Forward)
until synchronized with the material, the section is used to stabilise the motion and reduce the cutting error.
Then the ReadyTocut and CutSignal signals are set to high. The CutSignal, unlike ReadyToCut, has an
adjustable duration.
At the same time the Bar length (PAR 12012) is frozen in Real Cut length (PAR 12090) indicating the
measured cutting length.
The cutting sequence starts. The blade can start its motion. If a gap is foreseen (an increase in speed of the
carriage to distance the blade from the material), this starts when a Low Blade signal is given. No indication
is given if this signal is not present, however if Gap is enabled, an error signal is present with a positional
skip at the end of the cycle.
The High Blade signal is controlled at the end of the synchronization speed section. Before deceleration
takes place, a check is made to make sure that the blade has left the material. If this has not happened, the
system passes into the application alarm ApplAlarmCause and stops by activating the FastStop.
If the blade up position has been reached correctly the carriage returns to the home position. The time it
waits in this position depends on the set cutting length. For short cuts the waiting time is practically zero. It
increases for longer cutting lengths.

26.06.01 11000 Max acc m/s2 FLOAT 0.1 0.1 100 R/W
Maximum acceleration to be obtained by the machine at the calculated line speed.
The figure may have been supplied by the manufacturer or may be found empirically
with the drive connected by doing as follows:
Set the parameters Carriage length (PAR 11282), Cut gap time, Max carriage spd
(PAR 11468), Sync time (PAR 11452), Gap time (PAR 11436) and Gap length
(PAR 11210).
Start with a MaxAcceleration value of 2 m/s2.
Once the new value has been entered, the Max line Spd (PAR 12128), Carriage
space (PAR 12094) and CutLength in use (PAR 12058) variables will be updated.
Check that the CutLength in use is equal to what is required and that the Max line
Spd is sufficient. Otherwise, increase the acceleration to the desired value.
Check for other cut lengths.

26.07 ShearState monitor cut
signals, jamming, cut failure
This function permits:
• Monitoring and simulation of the status of the cutting unit command signals.
• Management of the materials output status monitoring (cut failure or jamming at the mouth of the output
cone). Figure 8 shows the operation of the monitoring in relation to the status of the sensor for the presence
of materials in output.
Figure 8: materials output monitoring
With the addition of the materials output sensor Src material out (PAR 11488), the condition of the jamming
can be verified, when the material did not enter the outlet cone and therefore its passage is not detected by
the sensor; also the cut failure when the sensor does not detect a break in the bar.
The operational logic is the following:
Machine CAMMING (Drive status, PAR 12030), at the cut command when the bar is intact and slides under
the material output sensor, the metric wheel position is acquired.
The delta is calculated, i.e. the difference between the newly acquired position and the current position of the
metric wheel.
If inside the space defined by Thr no cut (PAR 11520) a cut is detected, which trips the step sensor waiting
for the head of the next bar, otherwise a cut failure is indicated.
If inside the space defined by Thr line jammed (PAR 11518) the head of the new bar is detected, which trips
the step sensor waiting for the cut, otherwise the jammed material signal is given.

26.07.01 11450 Sim cut time ms SHORT 250 * * R/W
Simulated time to remove the high blade signal.
Valid if the cut simulator function is enabled, through the active Sim cut parameter
(PAR 11472).
26.07.02 11462 Sim blade down ms SHORT 50 * * R/W

Simulated time for blade to low position, high blade signal returns after Cut&GapTime.

Valid if the cut simulator function is enabled, through the active Sim cut parameter
(PAR 11472).
26.07.03 11472 Sim cut * BOOL Off * * R/W

The cut simulator enabled.
With the simulator on, signals at the digital inputs are ignored and an
unfinished cut will not be detected.
26.07.04 11516 debugFc * BOOL * * * R/W

Enables the simulation of the sensor for the presence of materials in output, to test
the different conditions in case of jamming and cut failure.
26.07.05 11518 Thr line jammed mm SHORT 0 * * R/W

The amount of material that has moved between the cut execution position and the
passage of the next bar’s head. If after a cut, an amount of material equal to this
parameter has passed, the sensor will not detect the exit of the head of the new bar.
This means that the new bar has jammed in the outlet cone.
If this parameter or parameter 11520 has a zero value, the function that verifies the
cut and jammed material has been deactivated.
26.07.06 11520 Thr no cut mm SHORT 0 * * R/W

The amount of material that has moved between the cut execution position and the
exit of the tail of the bar detected by the sensor. If after a cut and an amount of
material equal to this parameter has passed, the sensor will not detect the break in
the bar. This means that the material has not been cut.
If this parameter or parameter 11518 has a zero value, the function that verifies the
cut and jammed material has been deactivated
26.07.07 12028 Cut signal state * BOOL Off * * R

Monitors the cut signal.
26.07.08 12060 Blade up state * BOOL Off * * R

Monitors the blade in high position signal.
26.07.09 12062 Blade down state * BOOL Off * * R

Monitors the blade in low position signal.
26.07.10 12088 ReadyToCut state * BOOL Off * * R

Monitors the carriage signal synchronized with the line and ready to cut.
26.07.11 12136 Material OUT state * BOOL Off * * R

Monitors the material output sensor.

26.08 Gains
Gains and filters
This function allows the setting of the gains for the position ring, the cut length control and the filters to be
applied to the metric wheel reading during the cut

26.08.01 11126 PGain during cut * BOOL Off * * R/W
Removes the proportional gain Pos PGain (PAR 11276) during the cut.
26.08.02 11148 Enc filt during cut ms FLOAT 4 0 300 R/W

Filter constant applied during the cut, for a period of time equal to this parameter.
During the cut phase, it may be necessary to increase the filter time constant on the
metric wheel. This prevents vibrations due to blade/plate interference from affecting
carriage movement.
26.08.03 11150 MW measure filt ms FLOAT 4 0 100 R/W

Low pass filter on the measurement wheel.
If the value is too high it may cause an error during cutting when
starting-up and stopping the line. Approximate value up to around 4
msec.
26.08.04 11276 Cut PGain % BOOL 1 0 10 R/W

Cutting length control gain. This value is used in the cutting length control system. It
moves the carriage forward or back with respect to the material to obtain a correct
cut.
26.08.05 11280 Pos PGain * FLOAT 10 0 1000 R/W

Proportional gain of system position loop.
26.08.06 11292 Spd PGain * FLOAT 1 0 1 R/W

FeedForward gain of system position loop.
26.08.07 11294 Line spd PU * FLOAT 0 * * R/W

the maximum “p_totCorrection”. The correction is proportional to the speed.
26.08.08 11358 Max corr pos rpm FLOAT 100 0 200 R/W
Correction limit due to the position ring.
26.08.09 11364 Tot correction mm FLOAT 3 * * R/W

Correction in mm. This applies when the speed reaches 1. It can be positive or
negative.
26.08.10 11438 PU time ramp s FLOAT 15 * * R/W

Ramp time, in seconds, applied to Line spd PU (PAR 11294). This is the time
needed to go from 0 to 1. It has to be equal to the real line time.
26.08.11 11458 MW measure filt time ms SHORT 0 0 1000 R/W

The time for which the filter Pgain during cut (PAR 11126) is applied starting from
the Ready to cut signal. It must be long enough to allow the blade to leave the sheet
metal.

During the cutting phase it may be necessary to increase the time constant of the
filter on the metric wheel. This prevents vibrations due to blade/sheet metal
interference from affecting carriage movements. The two parameters shown below
can be used for this purpose:
26.08.12 11526 Max carriage corr * FLOAT 0.5 0 2 R/W

Limits the value applied for the correction applied to the carriage movement. It uses
the motor revolutions as a measurement unit. With a value of 1, the maximum
correction is equal to the advancement of one engine revolution.
26.08.13 11528 Max cut corr mm FLOAT 20 * * R/W

Limits the error value applied to the control.
26.08.14 11530 Step conv * FLOAT 0,4 0,4 1 R/W
