EX Control

™ EX washer-extractor control system uses a touch-sensitive display screen. All the functions and information you need to configure, program, and run the machine appear on this screen.

CAUTION 1 : Avoid Machine Damage—The touch screen works best if you use your finger to touch it with light or moderate pressure.

• Do not push hard on the glass.

• Use only a finger to touch the glass. Do not touch the screen with a tool.

Supplement 1

MilTouch Simulator for Windows PCs

The MilTouch Simulator software lets you prepare wash formulas and perform other MilTouch controller tasks without using the MilTouch or MilTouch-EX control system. The software uses the same interface as the one on the machine to help you program formulas and manage their deployment.

The contents of this document apply to both the MilTouch washer-extractor control and the

MilTouch Simulator software, with the following exceptions:

• In the PC software, the displays described in Section 1.1.1.5 “The Inputs and Outputs

Displays” do not reflect the state of any real hardware. The PC software does not simulate

inputs and outputs.

• The PC software will not simulate the actions of a formula.

• The PC software allows you to export formulas to any suitable storage device attached to your computer. The machine control exports to either a USB flash drive or to memory internal to the controller. See

Section 1.1.1.2 “The Data Transfer Display” for details.

2.3. How to Calibrate the Flow Meter

The flow meter measures the quantity of water as it flows into the machine cylinder for a bath step. The MilTouch controller uses the value reported by the flow meter to close the water valves when the desired amount of water per weight unit of goods is achieved. Any unit can be used for the water unit, but the controller prompts for the actual weight of goods in each load.

Supplement 4

Common Unit Conversions

Gallons (US) = 0.12 x Pounds (US)

Gallons (US) = 0.264 x Liters or Kilograms

Kilograms = 1.0 x Liters

Kilograms = 0.454 x Pounds (US)


35


Liters = 1.0 x Kilograms

Liters or Kilograms = 3.785 x Gallons (US)

Pounds (US) = 8.3 x Gallons (US)

Pounds (US) = 2.2 x Kilograms

A paddlewheel, a part of the flow meter located in the path of fresh water flowing into the machine, spins as water flows past it. Each revolution of the paddlewheel sends a pulse to the machine controller. The controller uses the count of the pulses to determine how much water has flowed into the machine.

2.3.1.

Application

If the programmed water level is less than or equal to the configured high water level, the programmed water level (inches or centimeters; not liters, gallons, kilograms, or pounds) is used.

If the machine is configured for a flow meter and programmed for a water level value greater than the configured high water level, the controller uses the flow meter to determine when the desired amount of water is in the cylinder.

When the operator selects a wash formula with a water level value greater than the configured high water level, the controller uses the flow meter and the actual weight of the load to calculate the actual number of units of water required. To determine how many units of water to allow into the machine, the controller prompts for the weight of each load.

For example, assume that a bath step is programmed to use 800 kilograms of water for 400 kg of goods.When the formula containing this step is selected to run, the controller will prompt the operator for a customer number and the actual weight of the load. If the load weight is 375 kilograms, the controller will proportionally reduce the amount of water admitted into the cylinder according to this equation:

(375 / 400) * 800 = 750 kilograms of water

2.3.2.

Preparation

The flow meter calibration procedure requires you to temporarily redirect water from the washerextractor to a container. Depending on the units you choose for metering the water when the machine is operating, you must be able to accurately weigh the container and its contents or accurately determine the volume of water in the container.

B. Clean, empty drum

C. Hose from flow meter output

.

2.3.3.

Procedure

1. Place a large calibration container on an accurate weighing scale. Larger containers provide more accurate calibration.

Tip:

You can choose any convenient unit for calibration. Liters, kilograms, pounds, and gallons are example units.

2. Disconnect the water inlet hose between the flow meter and the machine cylinder.

3. Secure the water inlet hose so that when the water valves open, the water that would normally flow through the flow meter and into the machine cylinder instead flows into the calibration container.

Allow unimpeded flow from the machine water valves to the calibration container.

Restrictions, such as a smaller hose diameter, can make the calibration less accurate.

4. Tare the scale so that it reads zero (0) with the empty container and hose in place.

5. From the main screen, touch the Configure button (

Figure 30 ).

1 = Bath Step. Use this selection to actuate the output at the start of a bath step. The first step of a formula begins immediately after the operator presses the Start button. A bath step begins when the previous step ends. A bath step may begin before the step timer

starts running, as when a bath step requires a specified temperature.

2 = Drain.Use this selection to actuate the output at the start of a drain sequence. A drain sequence begins immediately when the step timer expires for the preceding bath step, before the basket accelerates beyond wash speed.

3 = Extract. Use this selection to actuate the output at the start of an extract step. An extract step always begins a fixed time after the drain opens in the preceding drain sequence, while the basket is accelerating from drain speed to extract speed. output.

The valid range for the delay is from 0 seconds to 9999 seconds (about 2 hours and 47 minutes). The output will not actuate if the delay is longer than the step time.

4.1.1.

Start-up Procedure

At power-up the display prompts the user to choose either automatic mode or manual mode. See

Figure 41 .

Automatic Mode—The machine waits for input from the Miltrac control system. The Load Allowed input (2MTA4-6) and Discharge Allowed input (2MTA4-5) must be grounded.

Manual Mode—The operator controls all operations through the touchscreen and the Hydraulic Pump

Enabled button. See Figure 46 .

A. Miltrac Address—the address this machine occupies on the Miltrac controller system. The valid range is 000 to 255.

B. Bytes in Network—the string length used to communicate with the Miltrac controller system

C. Dryell—set to Yes if the machine is equipped with a Milnor loading elbow. Set to No otherwise.


51


D. Clockwise Discharge—the duration of clockwise rotation while discharging. Units are 1/10 second; valid range is 01 to 99.

E. Counter-clockwise Discharge—the duration of counter-clockwise rotation while discharging.

Units are 1/10 second; valid range is 01 to 99.

F. Dwell Discharge—the duration of dwell between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation while discharging. Units are 1/10 second; valid range is 00 to 50.

G. Number of Sequences—the number of times to repeat the discharge sequence of clockwise rotation, dwell, then counter-clockwise rotation. The valid range is 02 to 20.

H. End Time—the duration that the machine will run in End mode before it desires to discharge.

Units are minutes; valid range is 0 to 850.

I. Post-wash—set to Yes if the controller should prompt for drycode and destination code information while a formula is being programmed. Set to No otherwise.

J. Dryell Delay—the desired time between when the loading process ends and the controller commands the elbow to tilt up. Units are seconds; valid range is 000 to 255.

K. Dryell Flush—the desired time for the controller to flush the elbow during the loading process. Units are seconds; valid range is 000 to 255.

L. Scroll buttons—not used

M. Save button—saves the current configuration and returns to the home screen display, shown

in Figure 44 .

Figure 44: Home Screen Display

N. Cancel button—abandons the current configuration changes and returns to the home screen

display, shown in Figure 44 .

4.1.2.2.

Post-wash Data Pass Decisions

—For each wash formula using post-wash codes, enter the wash formula number, the desired dryer program number, and the desired destination code.

The machine will pass the associated data to the Miltrac network or the non-Milnor allied network when each wash formula runs.

A. Door—Touch the Door button on the display, then touch the Up or Down button to select whether to open or close the door. Hold the Hydraulic Pump Enabled button to operate the door.

B. Tilt Rear—Touch the Tilt Rear button on the display, then touch the Up or Down button to select the tilt direction. Hold the Hydraulic Pump Enabled button to tilt the machine.

C. Elbow—Touch the Elbow button on the display, then touch the Up or Down button to select whether to move the loading elbow up or down. Hold the Hydraulic Pump Enabled button to move the elbow.

D. Load—The machine must be in the load position: rear down, door open, elbow down. Begin the load sequence to open the cold water valve and turn the basket at drain speed. The water valve closes when the water level reaches the configured tilt level. After the goods are

completely inside the machine, you must end the load sequence to stop basket rotation and close any open water valve. The sewer remains closed. Basket rotation continues until you press the Done button. Use manual controls to raise the elbow, close the door, and select a formula.

E. Discharge—The machine must be in the discharge position: rear up, door open, elbow up and locked. Begin the discharge sequence to turn the basket in each direction for the configured discharge time. After the goods are completely out of the machine, you must end the

discharge sequence. Basket rotation continues until you press the Done button. Return the machine to automatic mode or use the manual controls to operate the elbow, door, and tiltting functions.

F. Formula—Touch the Formula button to exit the Manual Override window and return to the

Home screen.

G. Automatic Mode—Touch the Automatic Mode button to initialize the machine for automatic operation.

4.1.4.

The Recovery Sequence

This machine performs a recovery sequence at power-up to put certain components in their default positions. The default position may vary depending on how the laundry system surrounding this machine operates, but it is similar to this:

1. The elbow moves to the up and locked position.

2. The loading/discharge door opens fully.

3. The machine tilts to the rear fully down position.

4. The controller prompts, "Is there a load in the machine?" See

Figure 47 .

Figure 47: Machine Loaded Prompt

• If the machine does not have a load, it starts automatic operation at State 00 (see

Figure

48 ).

Figure 48: State 00 Window

• If the machine has a load, the controller prompts whether the machine was loading or discharging when automatic operation was interrupted.

• The controller prompts the operator to enter the batch data for the goods in the machine.


55


» If the machine was interrupted after loading but before the goods were washed:

1. The loading/discharge door closes fully.

2. The machine tilts to the wash position.

3. The controller starts the required formula.

» If the machine was interrupted after washing but before the goods were discharged:

1. The machine tilts to the rear fully up position.

2. The controller starts the discharge sequence.
