1.0.5
Qualified Personnel
– if functional failures are indicated (Red lights); – if all electrical equipment is protected against human contact.
1.0.8
Technical Documentation
(e.g. qualified electrician) (VDE 0105 + VDE 1000 + EN 50110-1) Qualified personnel, e.g. electro-technician, are persons which due to their D vocational education, D general knowledge, experience, and special instruction, and D knowledge of applicable standards, rules and regulations, safety precautions, and operational conditions have been charged by the safety manager with the execution of the required work, and with detection and prevention of possible safety hazards.
The Technical Documentation should be filed in such manner that it is really accessible to all personnel, preferably in the slot provided on the machine.
1.0.9
Spare Parts / Add-on Parts / Conversion Parts
Your attention is drawn to the fact that spare parts / add-on parts / conversion parts not supplied by Schlafhorst have not been inspected for safety and have not been released for use by Schlafhorst. Utilization of such foreign parts could cause unforeseen safety hazards. Usage of certain foreign parts could result in material damage and/or personal injury. Schlafhorst can not be held liable for damages resulting from the use of parts not made and supplied by Schlafhorst.

1.0.10 Operation The machine should be operated by trained and authorized personnel only. Safety hazards could originate on the machine if false operation is practiced. D Thoroughly familiarize yourselves with all aspects of the machine and its operation. D Thoroughly study the “manual and related documentation”. D Operate the machine only after exhaustive familiarization with operational components and with the functions of the machine, is completed. D Double-check the functionality of the operation components.
1.0.12 Work on the Machine’s Electrical Equipment Work of electrical nature has to be performed by authorized/special trained personnel according to technical rules and standards. If it is necessary to remove safety covers, bars, etc., the work area must be closed off by barriers and caution signs must be posted.
1.0.13 In Case of Emergency Turn main breaker switch directly from “I“ to “0“ !
D Be alert for unusual noises emitted by the machine, and have corrective action taken immediately in case of damage. D Safety hazards can result from arbitrary conversions and/or modifications on the machine. Schlafhorst can not be held liable for damages resulting from such arbitrary alterations.
1.0.11 Work on the Machine The OFF position of the machine’s main breaker switch can be secured by attaching a padlock on the switch handle.
The winding department personnel should be instructed to padlock this switch prior to performing maintenance, repairs, or cleaning work which has to be done with stopped machine. This precludes unauthorized switch-ON of the machine while other persons carry-out this type of work. The Autoconer must always be switched OFF, and secured (padlocked) against unauthorized manipulation before D safety parts or devices (covers) are removed, D beginning maintenance- or repair work on mechanical or electrical components, and scaling the machine’s upper portion.

Autoconer 338
1.0.18 General Machine Description The Autoconer is a machine for automatic winding of crosswound yarn packages. The Autoconer represents an autonomous, compact winding machine with integrated drive, with a splicer/knotter on each winding unit, and with a corresponding sub-pressure supply. Plug-type connections are provided for electricity and compressed air supply. The Autoconer is conceived as single-unit machine in onesided length construction, as RH or as LH machine, composed of 6 machine sections, or 60 winding units (maximum). The winding unit gauge is 320 mm from one winding unit to the next one. Each winding unit is self-sufficient, composed of an upper part containing the assemblies required for the winding process, and a lower part for transport and creeling of supply packages. Single and plied yarns spun from natural or synthetic staple fibers, Siro yarns, Core yarns, Linnens, Ramie and Crepe yarn, can be wound after a winding test. No jute, animal hair cord, novelty yarn. The permissible yarn count range is 667 tex (Nm 1.5) through 3.5 tex (Nm 290). Special winding tests are required for yarns coarser than 330 tex (Nm 3) or finer than 5.9 tex (Nm 170).

1.0.19 Noise emission value The A-valued, work place-related emission value of one individual machine decisively depends upon the machine location at the point of operation. The noise emission value can be calculated using the following formula: LpA = LpA,0 + ∆L 1 + ∆L 2 Explanation: LPA,0 : ∆L 1 : ∆L 2 :
Emission value applicable for the following operation conditions. Supplement for the sub-pressure (suction) adjusted on the Informator.
Emission value LpA,0 :
77.0 dB
Supplement ∆L 1 :
0.7 dB per 10 hPa sub-pressure increase
Supplement ∆L 2 :
0.25 dB for each additional 0.1 cycle per min. per wdg. unit.
This factor explains the influence of winding speed inasmuch as with known yarn break rate per yarn length the cycling frequency of the machine depends on winding speed. Furthermore, the suction noise levels are above those of the speed-depending winding noise. Standard relation:
Determination of the emission value made according to DIN EN ISO 9902-4. The measuring unit is smaller than 3 dB.
Example:
Cycling frequency of a machine is 1.1 cycle per minute per winding unit; operational sub-pressure is 45 hPa. The resulting emission value is 78.7 dB. Deviations from this value, up or down, are possible due to different compressed air levels, splicer prisms, suction nozzle settings, etc.

Noise pressure level: The local noise pressure level, incorporatinging operation conditions such equipment density, No. of machines, foreign noise influx, etc., could differ individually. It is therefore not possible to state an universally applicable value.
a
Excessive noise emission leads to impaired hearing ability. Hearing protection is mandatory beginning at 90 dB (A). From a noise imission pressure level of 85 dB (A) on up, UVV recommends hearing protection, as the probability of hearing damage increases considerably above this value. We recommend to wear hearing protection for all persons present in the environment of Autoconer(s).

Two types of PC-Cards are utilized with the Informator:
PC-Card Type FLASH
D PC-Card Type SRAM (Optional)
They carry programs which can be loaded, e.g. into the Informator, or into winding units.
D PC-Card Type FLASH (one per installation) PC-Card Type SRAM Lot data from the Informator can be stored on the PC-Card, or transmitted from the PC-Card into the Informator. This allows copying of lot lot data from one machine to another. SRAM-Cards are provided with a memory for repeated writing; the memory contents are stored by an internal battery: D The life expectancy of the battery is appr. 4 years, after which the battery should be replaced (→ next page).
FLASH-Cards are furnished readily written, they can be rewritten by Schlafhorst only. Unintentional erasure of these cards in the Informator is not possible. The PC-Card always carries the programs of all devices of the machine, avoiding compatibility problems. Also, prior to data transmission exmination is made if the programs match eachother (e.g. program version doffer vs. program version winding unit). Programs not harmonizing with eachother can not be loaded. Loading of PC-Card Type FLASH - programs
D Measuring the battery voltage takes place after insertion of the card. A failure message is issued for insuffient battery voltage.

Lot (Yarn Lot)
3.2.1
Group Memories
The group memories, which could be visualized as the drawers of a drawer cabinet (→ Ill.), function as storage of lot-related parameters. The production data developing during winding is also stored in these group memories. The machine Informator incorporates up to 6 group memories, they are numbered 1 ... 6. Upon completion of Initial Start (e.g. after entering changes of equipment) the Informator automatically places basic setting values into the group memories. The Informator recognizes winding units/machine sections of different specifications [e.g. different yarn guide drums or yarn joining systems (e.g. splicer or knotter)]. Each group is preoccupied with “Basic setting values“ facilitating the operation of the machine; i.e. after Initial Start Autoconer 338 is ready for operation. The group memories are utilized
A group memory can be in one of the following states: D DEFINED: Ready for production (→ Ill. G5 ... G6) – Allocation to sections defined, – Production parameters entered, – Changes are permitted. D PRODUCTION: The defined group has been started, it produces utilizing the entered production parameters (→ Ill. G1 ... G2), is now called Lot. D LOT CHANGE: State of the group during lot change (→ Ill. G3 ... G4). The following lot changes can be selected by entry: – Lot end with full delivery packages: Full packages only are present at lot end. – Instant lot end: Instant lot termination.
D to start of a lot, or D to start different lots on one machine, and D to store parameters of recurrent lots, for later allocation of the group to winding units/machine sections as required.

Lot preparation
Now the user has to examine the ”Basic entry values” and change deviating lot parameters if required. Prior to lot start, enter the winding unit range scheduled for winding according to the lot parameters of the selected group memory.
e
Prior to entry/change of data be sure the correct group memory has been selected! Entries/Changes influence a running lot; erroneous entries can cause production losses! Prior to lot start, double-check, and modify if required, all entries on the Informator, and all settings on the machine.
The following definitions are to be considered for this purpose: D Winding units of different specifications (Type of drum, Yarn joining system) are not to be combined.
3 - 44
D Example: On a machine of 5 sections, section 1 is equipped with asymmetrical yarn guide drums of type U6”, 2gg as, and sections 2 ... 5 with symmetrical yarn guide drums of type U6″, 2gg s. The winding units of sections 1 and 2 can not be started (combined) to process one lot. D Only adjoining (neighboring) winding units can be combined. Example: Winding units 10 ... 25 can be started to process one lot. Winding units 1 ...10, and 26 ... 30 can not be started to process one lot. D The allocation of winding units to one lot does not have to correspond to mechanical sections. Subsequently the lot is started through entry on the Informator. The group memory’s status changes from ”DEFINED” to ”PRODUCTION”. Copy lot Data of one machine can be stored on a PC Card, for copying to other machines scheduled to operate with identical lot parameters.

Diameter correction
Diameter as well as yarn length correction is always activated! Therefore both, diameter and length correction factor must always be entered, regardless if winding for equal diameters or for equal yarn length!
The diameter correction factor is a tuning factor to heighten the precision of diameter acquisition.
Nominal diameter When winding with length measuring the Informator automatically sets the nominal diameter to “0.00“. This ensures emergency stop at diameter 326 mm, or 12.8 inches, resp. Precision of the entered nominal diameter has to be refined through entry of a diameter correction factor.
For calculation of the correction factor it is urgently required to take the value already adjusted into consideration: Diameter correction factor = Old correction factor

Quality Control
Quality Package The Informator utilizes the quality control package to monitor the yarn length per delivery package or the package diameter, and the number of clearer cuts. Furthermore, the number of inferior packages can be distinguished from OK packages for possible sorting out, if required.
e
Entry or alteration of the boundary value erases the number of packages already classified. This prevents false interpretation of the results.
The winding units perform always towards the upper boundary value if lower and upper boundary values are defined; i.e. when winding for identical yarn length with entered diameter values the winding unit stops either at defined yarn length, or when reaching the upper diameter boundary. The value reached first causes the winding unit to stop. This also applies, in inverted fashion, when winding for identical package diameters.
The quality package classifies only if, at least, boundary values are defined for length or diameter, resp. (Minimum / Maximum). D Boundary values for length when winding for identical package diameters, or D Boundary values for diameter when winding for identical yarn lengths. The quality package is deactivated if no boundary values are entered (Minimum / Maximum). Through Informator entry decision is made if the entered boundary values are to be used D for observation only (in report print-out) or D for control (Winding unit stop for inferior quality).
In the shift report yarn length and package diameter are depicted as bar diagrams.

Notes:
Decision is made, whether a package stopped due to quality infraction Length/Diameter is to remain in the package cradle, or if it is to be doffed automatically.
D When reaching the maximum diameter, the package is stopped prematurely, i.e. with insufficient yarn length.
Doffing release is given if the classification is within the limitation values. Quality infraction
With deactivated automatic quality control this package would be doffed automatically, and further processing continues without detection of quality shortcomings. D With activated length monitoring a winding unit stops for package doffing:
A package released for doffing is not doffed automatically (Quality stop), if
– The doffing cycle does not take place, instead the Yellow light is extinguished manually.
D at least one of the a.m. quality criteria values is exceeded (i.e. actual value same as maximum value, or smaller than minimal value), and
– The winding unit starts anew with the non-doffed package.
D if YES had been selected for ”Singling out” in the quality package. In case of a quality infraction/quality stop the winding unit remains stopped with flashing Red and Yellow signal lamps, and no doffer request is issued. The package has to be doffed manually.
– After completed acceleration examination takes place whether or not the package diameter is significantly smaller. – The winding unit stops again, with glowing Yellow light, for doffing. This function is activated automatically when the diameter reaches >100 mm.
A quality infraction Length/Diameter is registered if: D On packages wound for defined diameter, the actual yarn length, when reaching the nominal diameter, falls short of the minimum length (package too soft), or if the actual yarn length, when reaching the nominal diamter, matches maximum yarn length (package too hard). D On packages wound for defined yarn length, the actual diameter, when reaching the nominal yarn length, falls short of the minimum diameter (package too hard), or if the actual diameter, when reaching the nominal yarn length, matches maximum diameter (package too soft).

Informator Start messages
➁
After each power failure restoration (Restart, or New start) or Initial start, the Informator is newly run-up and performs a Self-test, called ’start-up test’. Message window ”Startup Informator“ is always actualized after each self-test.
➀
Upon actuation of the key a listing of the startup messages of the Informator appears, i.e. the reason(s) Restart/New start, or Initial start, of the Informator are indicated (e.g. a power failure had taken place).
Upon actuation of this key follows the display of a chronological listing of Informator-internal messages and events. This listing assists Schlafhorst Service personnnel for failure search.
➂
Actuation of this key initiates print-out of the displayed screen page.
Example: D New start after power failure (Restart): Warm start – < Date > < Time > – sdog !!!! Power fail !!!! D New start after actuation of the Reset key (Restart): Cold start – < Date > < Time > – sdog !!!! RESET key actuated !!!!

Entry: Data display...; Messages... On its monitor screen the Informator displays messages releated to machine statuses. In addition, signal lamps are provided to call operator and/or maintenance personnel to the machine. Listing of messages → Chapters 10.1. Signal Lamps on the Machine The signal lamps display various machine statuses. They either glow steady or flashing. The priority of flashing lights is higher than the steady-ON type: The light changes from steady to flashing if during steady light a message is issued requiring a flashing light. The cause for messages with lighting of the Red and/or Yellow signal lamp is displayed on the Informator ( → next page). Note: The display must be confirmed after remedy of a failure. All signal lamps are OFF as long as the machine is stopped.

The quality criteria for equal length are printed when winding for equal diameters of the packages. The quality criteria for equal diameter are printed when winding for equal yarn lengths of the packages. The diagram represents the 12 quality classes of all wound packages of the lot. Packages shown with ”” are outside of the established quality standard. The number of packages in each quality class is also printed. Further information → 3.2.10. Total of all packages wound After the bar diagram follows a listing of all packages with at least one quality infraction. The number of infractions is also printed for each winding unit. Wdg. unit No.; Clearer cuts per bobbin; Lower and upper limit value. OFF-Standard winding units of the lot Listing of winding units of more than 15 minutes production time, showing infraction of limit values for: – Efficiency, or – Clearer cuts, or – Tension breaks, or – Production time (less than 15 min). These Off-Standard limit values are calculated automatically by the Informator.

5.2.29 Yarn guide plates on prism 1
Required tooling: – Turn key Basic setting 2
1
The factory setting of the guide plates (1 and 2) is such that their outer contours are precisely on the center line of the splicing channel. (Splicing channel center 1.75 mm +0.2 mm). This setting is applicable for appr. 80 % of the yarn types to be spliced.
2 3
Note: Slight resetting of the guide plates towards the outside of the channel center effects strength as well as appearance of the splices. If resetting is required, be sure the distance between the guide plates’ contours and the channel center is identical on top and bottom.
3 1
Setting hint: The splicing channel width of prisms D DZ1 and DS1 is 3.5 mm, and of 2
D 368-25
D DZ3 and DS3 2.5 mm. The diameter of turn key (3) for setting of the retainer tubes is 1.75 mm. The turn key can therefore be used to gauge setting of the guide plates. Have the turn key contact one internal flank of the channel, then let the contour of the opposite guide plate contact the turn key, and fasten the guide plate. The contour of the guide plate is now flush with the splicing channel center. With a feeler gauge adjust the guide plates of all other prisms.

The temperatures listed above are those of the air exiting from the prism (1). “0“ should be entered if air heating is not desired. The splice qualitiy is best if in most of the tensile strength tests the yarn breaks somewhere away from the splice. The air temperature should be selected so that no discoloration or hardening of the yarn in the splice area takes place. If required, perform a dye test on a small amount of yarn containing several splices. During the heating-up period (4 ... 10 min.), and when resetting the air temperature by at least 10 % the winding unit is inoperative.
Important Note concerning the use of Thermosplicers: When splicing with heated air we draw your attention to the possibility that the dye liquor absorption properties of the splices in yarns composed of synthetic fibers, whole or blends, could be different from the properties of the yarn between splices. Schlafhorst can not be held liable for secondary damages. These limitations do not apply to woollen yarns, nor to other animal fibers.

Comply with safety precautions (1.0.11 / 1.0.12). For maintenance: D Use plastic nozzles for cleaning of housings. D Avoid the use of sharp-edged tools for maintenance work.
Preventive maintenance augments quality assurance! Its application has to be adapted to the variuous operational conditions, depending on the materials to be processed, and on the loads exerted on functional parts. Utilizing the experience made during an initial trial it can be decided whether or not, and which factory-recommended maintenance intervals should be changed (factory-recommendations are based on a machine run time of 16 h per day). Noted interval differentiations are based on timing criteria: Daily – Weekly – Monthly – Semi-annually – Annually, and longer.

Lot slip
The recommended lot slip has been developed to assist the user in systematically establishing production groups with all lot parameters. The lot slip has to be filled-out for each machine before the beginning of production. Urgent: Settings of major importance for production must be double-checked prior to lot setup! This also applies to clearer settings! Informator Instructions for Informator settings are found in chapter 3 of the operation manual: D Yarn guide drum drive (→ 3.2.3) D Splicer (→ 3.2.4) D Delivery package (→ 3.2.6) D Quality assurance (→ 3.2.7) D Package doffer (→ 3.2.13) D Pneumatics / Dust removal (→ 3.3.12) Mechanical settings Instructions for mechanical settings are found in chapter 5 of the operation manual: D Package cradle (→ 5.2.10) D Suction arm (→ 5.2.20) D Splicer (→ 5.2.22 ff) D Tension assembly (precleaner → 5.2.35)

Delivery Package
Conceivable delivery package faults could be visible on the package’s outside, or hidden within the package’s yarn body. Hidden faults can be recognized only through testing. Description of faults, cause of faults, and hints for their prevention is the purpose of this manual chapter. The following tables are based on practical experience, they could possibly be incomplete.
8.1.1
Cobwebs
Problem
Cause
The term “Cobweb” defines: A yarn ’chord’ on the LH or RH flank of the delivery package; or a length of yarn exiting from the p g flank being g LH or RH package wound around the protruding end of the cone/sleeve, and re-entering the package flank at a different place.
Cradle pressure of cradle suspension Insufficient cradle pressure, causing excessive slippage between yarn guide drum and delivery package.
Increase cradle pressure. Examine cradle suspension and cradle damping.
Cone or Sleeve
Only dimensionally stable cones/sleeves should be used. One-way cones/sleeves should be used one time only. Check package adapters and cradle opening motion for smooth rotation/shifting. Replace worn parts. Inspect brake cylinder.
The cone/sleeve runs erratically, due to damage(s), or because of eccentricity.
Yarn guide drum Defects and/or unevennesses at the reversal points of the drum’s guide groove. Guide groove soiled by fiber finish. Deflector plates D 820-01
‘Ends on flank’ at package start after a yarn joining cycle. Tension device function The yarn tension deviates from the nominal setting. Yarn path in the yarn tension sensor
Remedy
Clean, or replace resp., the yarn guide drum.
Inspect deflector plates for proper type, and for possible damages.
Inspect contacts; exchange tension device, if required.
Replace the yarn tension sensor.
Guide elements are inaccurate. Yarn guide eyelets
Clean, or replace, resp., the eyelets.
Eyelets soiled, damaged, or missing. Traverse displacement

Problem The term “Cobweb” defines: A yarn ’chord’ on the LH or RH flank of the delivery package; or a length of yarn exiting from the LH or RH package flank, being wound around the protruding end of the cone/sleeve and re-entering the package flank at a different place.
Cause Yarn guide angle False setting.
At the reversal point the yarn should touch the angle contour.
Tension disc
Clean the tension disc.
The tension disc is soiled. Yarn path in tension device Uneven rotation of tension disc. Yarn not threaded correctly into tension device and precleaner (transfer failure). Unwinding accelerator (Triangular) (only with circular magazine [RM]) Bobbin moisture Different moisture levels cause different tension levels.
D 820-01
Bobbin build Sloughing-off yarn layers, tension differences.
8-8
Remedy
Clean tension device. Inspect yarn tension and correct if required. Inspect blow direction of travelling cleaner. Inspect transfer elements.
Check bobbin wind direction (p or q). Inspect vertical position of accelerator. Store bobbins for a sufficient period of time between spinning and winding. Select winding speed according to bobbin build quality. Optimize bobbin build in spinning. Inspect positioning of bobbin and setting of accelerator.

Cauliflower Problem
On the nose flank of the package next to the cone/sleeve yarn layers are pushed out and tend to “curling”. g This is due to high g pressure off the th outer t yarn layers l upon the package core. This fault can be more or less obvious depending on
Cause Cradle pressure
Select lower cradle pressure.
Alignment
A soft package core on the LH side develops if there is a gap between cone/sleeve and drum surface on the RH side.
of cone/sleeve on the yarn guide drum
– Yarn properties – Yarn type – Degree of moisture – Yarn elasticity Especially packages of rotor-spun yarn, woollens, and crepe yarn tend to develop p “Cauliflower”.
Remedy
Initial layers on cone/sleeve
The RH flank of the package should be as far to the right as possible.
Bending in the middle of cone/sleeve
Use only dimensionally stable cones/sleeves.
Cone/sleeve taper
Examine the combination of cone/sleeve - yarn - yarn guide drum.
Taper acceleration
Reduce taper acceleration, if feasible. If possible, use cones of less taper.
Yarn tension too low

8.1.14 Counter Wraps Problem During reversed package rotation the suction arm draws the upper yarn end from the package. A short stretch after pick-up the yarn can be trapped (snared) by a fiber of the next yarn layer, to a point that the suction arm’s sub-pressure can not overcome this resistance.
Cause Needle comb in suction arm mouth Soiled, covered, damaged, or missing
Remedy Clean or replace the needle comb. Remove cover strip and/or perform add-on of the needle comb. The most effective remedy is utilization of a needle strip [0.5 (0.3) mm] without cover strip.
During continued reversed package rotation the yarn end already drawn off is pulled out of the suction arm and placed on the package circumference in opposite (hook shaped) direction. (hook-shaped) direction The only way to precisely determine this failure is to lift the package off the yarn guide drum instantly at termination of reversed drive prior to the start-up of the yarn guide drum in forward direction.
Yarn Winding yarn immediately after spinning.
Sub-pressure (suction) too low

8.1.16 Drum Laps Problem A yarn break takes place in the guide groove of the yarn guide drum and the yarn is wound around the drum.
Cause Guide groove damaged, or soiled Yarn tension too high
Remedy Replace drum, or clean guide groove. Select lower tension setting. With yarn tension control the tension can be set at 10 ... 13 % of the yarn’s tensile strength. With yarn tension regulation this limit can be slightly exceeded. Inspect accelerator setting. Utilize Autospeed. Check bobbin positioning.

Bobbin build and Yarn properties
Optimization required in spinning.
Thin places, Foreign fibers, separating piecings from spinning, Low-twisted yarn portions. Yarn trap

clogged Notes: The drum lap brush (released for Add-on) reduces the occurrence of drum laps. The mechanical drum lap guard prevents secondary failures. The electric drum lap guard prevents secondary failures. The electric drum lap guard detects drum laps early and prevents secondary failures. Sticky or moist yarn, as well as static loads, enhance the tendency towards drum laps. Optimized winding environment (Climate), without air drafts, is essential. A so-called package lap develops if the broken end is not wound on the drum, but on the delivery package. This fault can be determined only during unwinding in the subsequent manufacturing process. The remedies listed above apply to this fault also.

8.1.17 Double Ends Problem “Double ends” means multiple yarn strands being wound on the package. Double ends can originate on the bobbin, or result from faulty upper end pick-up.
Cause Suction arm The suction arm draws two or more ends from the package, as a result of ends on flank, loops, or loose yarn layers.
Double ends from supply package
Remedy Refer to Ends on flank, loops, Sloughing yarn layers. Optimize clearer settings.
Optimize bobbin build in spinning. Optimize clearer settings.

=A1+C3 H3 H2
10.1.1 Signal lamps Signal lamps H2 (yellow) and H3 (red) indicate various machine statuses, calling the operator to take action on the machine. The signal lamps light up either with flashing or with steady light. Flashing light is of higher priority than steady light. A lamp can change from steady to flashing light if the during steady light a message is issued requiring a flashing light. The causes for lighting of yellow or red lamp is indicated on the Informator (→ Tables on the following pages). Note: Remedy of the cause for lighting must be confirmed on the Informator. With switched-OFF machine the signal lamps are also OFF. Red signal lamp (H3) Functional failures are signaled by the red lamp only. D Flashing Failures related to the functions of the basic machine, e.g. a motor overload switch was triggered.
D 161-67
D Steady Failures related to the basic machine, e.g. absence of compressed air. Failures related to the package doffer(s). Yellow signal lamp (H2) D Flashing Signal for wet splicer: Splicing water to be replenished. D Steady Materials flow deficiencies, e.g. package conveyor needs to be started.

11.1.3 PCB Control GZK PCB GZK regulates and monitores the 275 VDC voltage of the intermediate DC circuit (GZK). Provided are two versions of the control PCB: One each for 50 Hz and 60 Hz current frequency. H1 Activation/Regulation
H2 H3 H4 H5 H6 H7
For activation of the GZK a signal is transmitted to the control PCB. PCB ’Control’ examines the phase position of the three voltages (clockwise rotary field). If found OK, the PCB is activates the voltage to thyristor stages V1 ... V3. Simultaneously an other relay separates the discharge resistors from the output. The control PCB deliberately, and linearly, accelerates the output voltage. The acceleration time is monitored. When reaching the lower threshold voltage of +220 V a signal is transmitted to the machine control. The machine can be started. Minimum/Maximum voltage
H8
The minimum voltage required for orderly operation of the winding units and of the doffer(s) is +220 V, maximum voltage is +330 V. Monitoring
D160-07
When surpassing a defined threshold voltage a transistor activates the relay which in turn activates the discharge resistors. If the output voltage fails to drop within 5 seconds GZK is switched OFF, blocking (H2, red = ON). Reactivation of the GKZ can be performed only after OFF/ON switching of the machine’s main breaker switch. LEDs (light-emitting diodes) Eight LEDs indicate the following operational statuses: H1 GZK_ON H2 blocked H3 H4 H5 H6 H7
= Signal ”Release of GZK” activated. = Blockage of the GZK. Reactivation possible only after OFF/ON switching of the machine. > 330 V = Maximum voltage 330 V exceeded. > 310 V = upper limit voltage 310 V exceeded. > 300 V = lower limit voltage 300 V exceeded. > 220 V = Minimum voltage 220 V exceeded. Supply o.k. = Clockwise rotary field recognized.
H8 Supply o.k. = Control PCB’s supply voltage activated. LEDs H1, H6, H7, H8 are lit during normal winding operation.

11.1.4 PCB (Printed Circuit Board) M-Control (M-Steuerung) PCB ‘M-Control‘ (M-Steuerung) (Machine control) is provided one time for model RM machines, or up to five times for automated models. This PCB controls the electrical processes of the machine, and of the materials flow devices; it incorporates a power supply part for generation of the internal voltage supply. Power supply The power supply part is represented by a primary clocked, free-swinging B.O.type converter, with secondary stabilized output voltage, which generates a voltage of 24 VDC from the 275 VDC of the energy-bus. The 24 VDC are used as main supply voltage for the preparation of the auxiliary voltage, for the 24 V outputs and inputs, and for other electrical components (such as the Informator and the intermediate DC circuit). All output branches of the power supply part are short circuit-proof and open circuit-proof. At Power-ON of the supply voltage (> 220 VDC) the power supply part begins to oscillate automatically. Automatic restart takes place after a short circuit occurrence. The power supply part is designed for a continuous load of 5.5 A (Fuse F2: 6.3 A M). Open-circuit voltage is 27 V maximum. Auxiliary voltage preparation This circuit generates 15 VDC, 12 VDC and 5 VDC. 15 VDC:
Analogous voltage supply (PCB-internal).
12 VDC:
12 V Outputs, Test instrument interface, Programming voltage (PCB-internal).
5 VDC:
Voltage supply for the logics circuits (PCB-internal).
Computer unit The computer unit is based on a micro-controller, which is provided with a 64 kB SRAM with 16 Bit data bus. During the booting phase the controller and its periphery are initialized, and the user program is loaded into the application flashs, if required.
Voltage monitoring The power supply part furnishes a signal to the micro-controller, the clocking frequency of which matches the clocking frequency of the power supply. This clocking frequency is load-dependent. The power supply part switches OFF if it detects insufficient voltage of the supply circuit (275 VDC energy bus). Due to the absence of pulses the micro-controller registers the voltage failure. Recognition of mounting location Via the coding of plug X25 PCB M-Control recognizes the mounting location. The code is read by the micro-controller when the control is in the initialization phase (Boot). CAN Bus PCB M-Control supports two independently operating CAN buses, and one CAN star coupling. Via software this star coupling can, selectively, be allocated to one of the two CAN buses. Logics Periphery Bus The Logics Periphery Bus provides the following functional devices: D Strobe generation with strobe functional device; the periphery bus supports 15 plug positions. D Interrupt-capable MISO/MOSI interface; standard synchronous serial interface. D Interrupt-capable unidirectional 8 Bit Port; through this port the micro-controller can only read data. D Input Capture signals D PWM signals D Timer/Counter signals Test instrument interface This interface controls the data exchange with the test instrument, or, for software development, with the programming adapter. Connection is made via plug X1.
Remanent data management Remanent data management is performed by a serial EEPROM controlled by the micro-controller via the serial bus.

11.1.5 Module BUS frequency converter Module BUS frequency converter is used in various sub-assemblies, depending on machine configuration (e.g. dust removal, delivery package conveyor). This module controls the electrical routines, it is composed of power supply, processor, inverted rectifier, nine inputs, and four outputs. Power supply The power supply part is composed of a primary-clocked, self-oscillating B.O. type converter with secondary stabilized output voltage, generating a voltage of 24 VDC, and internal auxiliary voltages, from the 275 VDC of the energy bus. The 24 VDC voltage supplies the outputs, and possibly peripheral components, if required. The voltage is short-circuit-proof and open-circuit-proof. The power supply automatically begins to oscillate when the supply voltage (> 220 VDC) is switched ON. An automatic restart takes place after a short circuit. The power supply is designed for 1,6 A (40 W) max. continuous load. Open-circuit voltage is 27 V max.
Frequency converter The frequency converter is a voltage changer without internal intermediate DC circuit, which by means of pulse width modulation (PWM) generates the voltage allowing stepless velocity (RPM) control of AC motors. The frequency converter is current-limited, and it is provided with overvoltage protection. Galvanic insulation to the CAN bus is constituted via optocoupler by a synchronous serial interface. Coding Coding (Setting) of switch S1 located on the front panel of the module describes the mounting location. Transmission and receiving registry of the module changes in correspondence with its coding. Correct coding is noted on the front panel, or in the diagram. Switch up Switch down

Autoconer 338 General The frequency converter (FC) is maintenance-free. The device can be damaged or destroyed by external conditions, such as short circuits, ground shorts, or false settings. Function The frequency converter is wired ahead of the AC asynchronous motor M1 of the suction drive. AC asynchronous motors provide fixed RPM, determined by number of pole pairs and power line frequency. The frequency converter provides a separate network with a variable frequency range for motor operation. The supply voltage of the frequency converter is 380 ... 460 VAC. A transformer is provided for other power supply voltages. Line voltage fluctuations of +10/–15 % are permissible. In operation the output is short circuit-proof and ground short-proof. All required settings of the frequency converter are factoryset, they do not require alteration.
Internal Functional Progression of the Frequency Converter An AC bridge rectifier furnishes an intermediate circuitvoltage of constant level. This intermediate circuit voltage is smoothened by a battery of capacitors. The ensuing current inverter transmits the intermediate circuit voltage in pulses as 3-phase voltage to the motor M1 of the suction drive. The level of the voltage pulses is constant, it corresponds to the intermediate circuit voltage. Through alteration of the pulse widths, level and frequency of the output voltage are steplessly adjustable. Due to the process of pulse width modulation with regulation of the magnetic flow it is possible to generate a nearly ideal sine-shaped current. The variation of the pulse widths within one sine-halfwave is regulated by a computer program with a reaction frequency of 4 kHz. Thus is generated for all load conditions D an ideal sine-shaped current, and D excellent rotation properties, even at low frequencies. Displays D LED H1 (green): Flashing: The FC is ready for operation. Steady ON: The FC is in operation. D LED H2 (red): Lights up in case of a failure (→ Failure messages). Failure Messages If the FC recognizes a failure, it transmits via machine bus a failure message to the Informator. The messages displayed by the Informator are listed in Chapter 10.1. In case of a failure it is necessary to consult Schlafhorst’s customer service dept. with a description of the encountered failure.

11.2 Winding Unit 11.2.1 PCB SP-Control (SP-Steuerung) This PCB is used one time per winding unit and one time per package doffer. It controls all electrical processes, and it incorporates a power supply part for generation of the internal voltage supplies. Description of the PCB used on the doffer → 11.5. Power supply The power supply part is represented by a primary clocked, free-swinging B.O.type converter, with secondary stabilized output voltage, which generates a voltage of 36 VDC from the 275 VDC of the energy bus. The 36 VDC are used as main supply voltage for the preparation of the auxiliary voltage, for the 24 V outputs, the 12 V inputs, and for other electrical components (such as the thermosplicer). All output branches of the power supply part are short circuit-proof and open circuit-proof. At power-ON of the supply voltage (> 220 V DC) the power supply part begins to oscillate automatically. Automatic restart takes place after a short circuit occurrence. The power supply part is designed for a continuous load of 150 W. Open-circuit voltage is 37 V maximum.
Voltage monitoring The power supply part furnishes a signal to the microcontroller, the clocking frequency of which matches the clocking frequency of the power supply. This clocking frequency is load-dependent. The power supply part switches OFF if it detects an insufficient voltage of the supply circuit (275 VDC energy bus) Due to the absence of pulses the micro-processor registers the voltage failure. Recognition of mounting location Via the serial interface of plug X8 PCB SP-Control recognizes the mounting location. If via this interface the micro-controller recognizes the operation unit of the package doffer, the doffer’s software is assumed to be ready to perform normally. If the doffer’s operation unit is not recognized, only the winding unit’s software remains operational. This recognition process takes place during the initializing phase (Boot). CAN Bus PCB SP-Control supports a CAN bus connection. Data exchange with other machine components, such as machine control or package doffer, takes place via this CAN bus.

11.2.2 PCB Thermosplicer Output Stage This PCB is piggy-backed on PCB SP-Control (Winding unit control), provided the machine is equipped with thermosplicers. PCB Thermosplicer output stage regulates the core temperature of the air heater and controls the prism heater. The splicing temperature, selected on the Informator, is attained after a heating time of appr. 4 ... 10 minutes. Acquisition of the actual value A thermoelement (Fe-CuNi) is integrated in the air heater. An amplifier converts the output voltage of the thermoelement in such fashion that +6.825 mV/°C are available as actual value. Ambient temperature is compensated. Failure recognition At recognition of a failure (Break of thermo lead, defektive prism, etc.) the actual value is altered involuntarily, enabling PCB SP-Control to localize this failure.
Air heater The air heater is directly operated by the 275 VDC of the energy bus. The two-points regulation is controlled, galvanically insulated via opto coupling, by PCB SP-Control. Prism heater The prism heater raises the temperature of the splicing ambience to a desired level. Regulation of the temperature is made by a chopped transistor, which prepares the 36 VDC supply voltage for the 24 V prism heater. A current limitation reduces the inrush current to 2.5 A. LED indication An LED (→ III.) located on PCB Thermosplicer output stage flashes as long as the power supply part is supplied with the permitted voltage (200 ... 400 VDC).

11.5 Delivery Package Doffer 11.5.1 PCB (Printed Circuit Board) ‘XW (Doffer) Control’ Installed is one PCB ‘XW control’ per doffer. This PCB controls all electrical functions; it also incorporates the power supply to generate the required internal voltages. Originally this PCB has been designed for the winding unit, therefore the descriptions of inputs and outputs match those of the winding unit. Compared to the winding unit control the PCB’s function controls are fewer, therefore (for spare part supply) all PCBs presently available serially can be used. Description for application of the PCB in winding units → 11.2.
Computer unit The computer unit is based on a micro-controller provided with (depending on specific application) a 32 ... 64 kB SRAM with 8 or 16 Bit data bus. During booting (after supply voltage switch-ON) the controller and its periphery is initialized. Remanent data management Remanent data management is performed by a serial EEPROM controlled by the micro-controller via a serial bus, e.g. securing the radial degrees position of the cam package at voltage failure.
Power supply The power supply represents a primary-clocked, free-running B.O.-type converter with secondary stabilized output voltage generating a voltage of 36 VDC from the 275 VDC present in the energy bus.
Voltage monitoring
The 36 VDC are the main supply voltage for producing auxiliary voltages, the 24 V outputs, the 12 V inputs, and other electrical components.
The power supply transmits a signal to the micro-controller indicating the clock frequency of the power supply. This clock frequency is load-dependent. The power supply is switched-OFF if it detects undervoltage of the supply voltage (275 VDC Energy bus). The voltage failure is recognized by the micro-controller from the absence of the pulses.
All output branches of the power supply are short circuit and idling protected.
Recognition of device location
The power supply automatically begins to oscillate (at 220 VDC) when the supply voltage is switched ON. An automatic restart takes place after a short circuit. The power supply is designed for a continuous load of 150 W maximum. Open-circuit voltage is 37 V max. Generation of auxiliary voltages From the 36 V are generated the voltages 24 VDC, +12 VDC, -12 VDC, and 5 VDC.
From the serial interface of plug connection X8 PCB ’XW control’ recognizes the device location. The software of the package doffer becomes functional when the micro-controller recognizes the operation unit of the doffer. When failing to recognize the operation unit, only the winding unit software becomes functional. This recognition takes place during the initialization phase (booting). CAN bus
24 VDC:
24 V outputs, current end stages.
+12 V DC:

Autoconer 338 Ouputs The 24 V outputs are n-switching. This is possible due to the galvaniv insulation of the power supply. Inputs The inputs are provided for 12 V n-switching sensors. Each input’s plug position provides the supply voltage, the 0 V L, and an input for the sensor signal lead. Each input is RCswitched, and is subjected to a load of 5 mA, max. Analogous-inputs
Output stage drum drive motor (for patrol drive motor) This output stage controls, via PCB ’MB adapterXW’, patrol drive motor =A6+C2-M1 and cam package drive motor =A6+C2-M2. The integrated differential amplifier of the current output stage establishes the absolute value of the current consumed by the motor. The motor’s velocity is established from the signals transmitted by the rotor position sensors intergrated with the motor.

11.5.2 PCB MB-Adapter-XW This PCB MB-Adapter-XW is used one time per package doffer. It adapts the levels of inputs and outputs of PCB XWControl (XW-Steuerung) to the functions of the package doffer.
The conductive signals of the rotor position sensors are split open and conducted to PCB XW-Control either as ”Rotor position sensor drum drive motor“ or as “Rotor position sensor cycling drive motor“. On PCB XW-Control the signals control:
Energy bus
D “Rotor position sensor drum drive motor“ the output stage for driving the respective motor of the package doffer (Patrol drive, or cycling drive motor).
The energy bus is wired to PCB XW-Control via PCB MBAdapter-XW. CAN bus The required bus end resistor is located on PCB MBAdapter-XW , therefore the CAN bus is wired to PCB XWControl via this PCB. Control of motors
D “Rotor position sensor cycling drive motor” the incremental acquisition of rotor revolutions of the respective motor of the doffer (Patrol drive, or cycling drive motor). Signal distributor For the adaption of signal levels and wiring the signals of PCB XW-Control are distributed to the sensors of the doffer via PCB MB-Adapter-XW.
Patrol drive motor (M1) and cycling drive motor (M2) are controlled by only one output stage of PCB XW-Control (Drum drive motor). In order to operate both these motors, the power leads and signal leads of the motors are switched-over under control of signal input -FAH/AUT (PATR/CYC).
b 11 - 42
Switch-over of the power leads takes place on two phases only, the third phase is permanently motorconnected.
