Theory of operation

The Fife-200 Web Guiding System is designed for use in industrial equipment that is involved with processing a moving web. It is typically installed in line with the web travel to provide lateral steering of the web in critical areas such as winding, rewinding, or any important mid-stream process. It is not uncommon to find multiple web guides steering the same web at different locations of web travel. Guiding a web is accomplished by applying several concepts with each directed at a particular part of the task. The basic concepts are:

Sense the lateral position of the web edge (sensors)

Generate a correction signal proportional to the error

(signal processor)

Apply forces to the web to non-destructively move it to the desired location (motor-controlled mechanical pivoting rollers)

Sensing

Sensing the lateral position of the web edge can be done by a variety of sensing technologies with the most common being infrared or ultrasonic. The sensing technology employed in any given application is driven by the respective web properties in combination with the amount of sensor proportional band that is needed. For optically opaque webs, infrared sensors are common, but for webs that are highly transparent, ultrasonic methods are more successful. continued www.maxcessintl.com Fife-200 Web Guiding System MI 2-277 1 B

Theory of operation

INTRODUCTION

Infrared sensing

Infrared sensors direct infrared light from a transmitter through the sensing gap to the opposing receiver. In this arrangement, web lateral position is determined by the amount of light that arrives at the receiver. Modulation techniques and infrared filtering is commonly used to combat interference from ambient light sources.

Ultrasonic sensing

Ultrasonic sensors work similar to infrared methods except they use high frequency sound waves instead of light.

Correction signal

The sensor information is provided to a signal processor that can provide many types of signal conditioning, including amplification, guide point offset compensation, etc. The final result, however, is simply a motor drive signal of the proper polarity to cause web movement to the desired web position.

Additional provisions are present in the signal processor to control manual guide positioning, select from multiple sensor inputs, perform automatic guide centering, and support remote control.

Web guiding

The output of the signal processor is fed to a motor that is coupled to a set of pivoting rollers. In order to ensure enough friction exists between the moving web and the guide rollers, the web path and location of the guide rollers are designed to ensure a certain amount of surface area contact with the roller surface. Under these conditions, the pivoting roller set in combination with web movement over the rollers, provides the forces needed to control lateral web displacement.

As a system, these concepts work together to sense the web lateral position and generate a motor drive signal of proper polarity to cause the web to move toward the desired location.

This cycle is repeated continuously thus forming a closed loop control system to actively maintain the web at the desired position.

Security strategy

Authorization levels

The operator interface can be configured with security features to prevent unauthorized changes to the various settings that can be changed from the menu system, such as gain, polarity, etc.

Security features are disabled by default but are easily configured and enabled. Access to every menu is individually programmable for one of three authorization levels. The following text describes the customer-configurable security strategy.

Security features are designed around three authorization levels with three access modes for each level. When security is enabled, the current login authorization level is indicated by a “key” icon in the status bar with the authorization level next to it. Level 1 has the lowest privileges and level 3 has the highest. If security is not in use, these icons will not appear. The three authorization levels and their associated icons are described below.

OPERATOR LEVEL 1 This level requires no password knowledge and is intended to have the most restrictions.

PRIVILEGED OPERATOR/SUPERVISOR This level is intended for operators who are able to make some adjustments.

ADMINISTRATOR The administrator normally has unrestricted access to all menus, but if desired, even this level can be configured for restricted access to any menu as long as it is not related to administrative activities. www.maxcessintl.com Fife-200 Web Guiding System MI 2-277 1 B

3-13

Access modes

DISPLAY DEFINITIONS

The SETUP button on the Operator Level screen and each menu in the operator interface has programmable access modes for each of the three possible authorization levels. The button appearance of each menu item indicates which access mode is active for the current login authorization level. The possible button appearances are shown below using the GAIN button as an example.

NO ACCESS The “lock” icon superimposed on a button indicates that access is not allowed from the current login authorization level. Pressing the button will prompt for numeric pass code entry and will only allow access if the entered code raises the login authorization level high enough to permit access.

READ ONLY ACCESS The “magnifier” icon superimposed on a button indicates that the menu has read-only access from the current login authorization level. The user is allowed to view the settings but not change them.

FULL ACCESS The button will appear with no access modifier when there are no restrictions for the menu. This is also the button appearance when security is disabled. www.maxcessintl.com Fife-200 Web Guiding System MI 2-277 1 B

3-14 DISPLAY DEFINITIONS

Keypad operation

All of the menu screens that require numeric entry use a common keypad control. An example of the gain entry screen is shown below.

New values are entered using the numeric keypad buttons. Entry format similar to data entry using a calculator where new values appear on the right and shift existing data left. The exception to this is when the first button is pressed the displayed value is cleared first.

Some entries accept a decimal point and polarity. When editing values that do not accept decimal points or signed entry, these buttons will be disabled.

The CLEAR button erases the current entry.

Use the CANCEL button to close the edit window without saving any changes. continued www.maxcessintl.com Fife-200 Web Guiding System MI 2-277 1 B

3-15 DISPLAY DEFINITIONS

KEYPAD OPERATION (continued)

The ENTER button checks the value according to the maximum and minimum limits and applies the new value if it is within acceptable range. If the entered value is outside either of the applicable limits, the entered number and the violated limit are marked in red as shown in the example below.

If this occurs:

Press CLEAR to erase the entry and try again, or,

Press CANCEL to cancel the editing operation and close the window.

HARDLOCK

Hard lock modifies actuator reaction while in manual mode. Normal manual posture removes all motor drive signals. In some applications, forces due to gravity or web tension can cause unwanted actuator movement when the motor is not driven. The hard lock option changes manual operation so the actuator position is actively maintained to prevent movement from outside forces while in manual mode. Hard lock, if enabled, is applied in all cases where manual posture is active, such as when external lock from the digital inputs is active.

NETWORK (continued)

Device address Used to assign a new address to the device. Each

Fife-200 Web Guiding System controller takes four consecutive addresses. The starting address of each controller must be either

1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, or 25. Selecting an address other than listed above will cause the controller to choose the lowest address closest to one of the above addresses. This only applies when changing the address and not when changing the name.

Name This control only appears when configuring a drive. Use it to specify the drive name which will appear on the Operator Level screen when connected to this drive.

Termination Termination should only be enabled on devices connected to the network ends. In a single Operator Interface and single Fife-200 Web Guiding Controller configuration, both devices should have termination enabled.

Note: When assigning network addresses, it is recommended to start the controller addresses at 5 or higher. Leaving address 1 vacant facilitates replacing or adding a new controller. Since the default controller address is 1, it will initially appear at this address where it can be easily reassigned.
