1.2.3 Safety Devices

Emergency stop
Warning: The main control box remains live when the emergency stop button is pressed.
• This is a red button on a yellow background.
• If any emergency stop is locked, the control buttons will not work => unlock = 1/8 turn clockwise.
Safety light grid

Warning: The safety light grid does not function when the machine is operating at full speed.
• Is located over the pressure roller.
• The safety light grid prevents movement of the sley during start-up, slow motion and pick finding. The machine motion
can be started again following the normal procedure.
STAND-BY
• The machine must be placed in this condition for all repair activities and lubrication work.
• Condition for setting the machine.
• All machine movements are blocked, but the electronic components will remain live.
Electronics 9

POWER ON
• Power circuits are turned on.
• All motors, except for the prewinder motor, remain switched off.
• The main motor will only start after:
• The start button has been pressed.
• Any automatic movement and also machine start-up is indicated by clear flashing warning lights.
• In case of emergency, all machine actions can be interrupted by means of an emergency stop.
Warning lights
Warning: If the warning lights are flashing, do not touch the weaving machine.
Main switch
• Is located on the right hand side of the main control box.
• Must be padlocked in the -0-OFF- position when major work is performed.
Work to be performed
• The control boxes may only be opened and connected by qualified and authorized members of staff. This means that they
must have a basic knowledge of the fundamental rules of electricity and the relevant legislation, and that they must have
experience with electric wiring, electric components and with the symbols on electric diagrams.
• If, for work to be performed, it is required that the earth connections are disconnected, then these must be reconnected
in the original way before the control system is switched on again.
• When a control box is open, EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) is not guaranteed.
• While work is going on with a control box open and the main switch in -I-ON- position, no appliances producing strong
electromagnetic fields – such as mobile phones or walkie-talkies – may be brought near the control box.
Earth connection
• The weaving mill must have an effective earth connection. This must have been checked and verified by the responsible
services.
• After the main control box has been placed, the earth wire must first be connected to the machine. For more information
on the earthing, see: Electrical installation.
• The earth wire of the bobbin stand must be connected to the prewinder stand, see: Electrical installation.
• The machine must be connected to the mains earth connection in the prescribed manner.
• The earth connections interconnecting machine components may not be interrupted. If during work on the machine they
are disconnected, they must be reconnected in the original way before the control system is switched on again.
Stepping motors
• The weaving machine is equipped with several stepping motors: the filling cutters, the waste cutters, the selvedge
motions… .
• These motors may never be opened, as some loss of torque may result from opening and re-closing them.
• In the event of a fault or failure, these motors should be sent to Picanol.

1.3 Connection conditions
1.3.1 Power supply cable specifications

Load demands
Power consumption is the energy consumption during normal machine operation. It depends on:
• The machine configuration,
• The machine speed,
• The type of fabric and the machine settings.
Note: The required load must be calculated separately for each machine.
Rated power
The rated power depends on external factors during a cold start or in specific working environments.
Note: The mains must always be able to supply enough power in similar extreme situations. The rated power is also taken into
account when calculating the mains cable conductor size.
Rated supply voltage

Table 1: Rated supply voltage (Vnom)
Vnom (3 phase/PE/no Neutral) Transformer used?
200V to 346V YES
380V to 460V NO
480V to 600V YES
General conditions
Stability of the power supply

Supply voltage fluctuations must be between -10% and +10% of the nominal operating voltage (EN 50160).
e.g. at Unom = 460V, the supply voltage must never drop below 414V or be higher than 506V.
% of nominal voltage
Time
CBEMA curve
Electronics 11

Power consumption at cold start
At a cold start (e.g. after a weekend stop), power consumption is twice as high as compared to the consumption at typical operating
temperature conditions. It takes about 3 hours for the power consumption to drop to normal.
Note: The electrical wiring and the transformer (if present) must be able to support this high power consumption at a cold start.
Conditions at machine start-up

At machine start-up, the power consumption is approximately 80KVA (for 0,2sec). During this short time lap, the voltage at the machine
should not drop below 85% of the nominal operating voltage.
Electrical requirements of the weaving room

The weaving machines need a nominal voltage between 380V and 460V. If the weaving room does not dispose of a power supply
between these values, a transformer must be used.
The machine is foreseen to be used on electrical installations according IEC 60364 and power supplies according EN 50160
• Distribution system:
• 3AC 380V - 460V ±10% +PE,
• 3AC 200V - 346V ±10% +PE; auto transformer used; WYE 3AC 440V secondary,
• 3AC 480V - 600V ±10% +PE; auto transformer used; WYE 3AC 440V secondary.
Note: WYE grounded in star point preferred; delta ungrounded can be used, however more susceptible to effects
of ground faults.
• System of live conductor:
• Three-phase 3 wire
Note: Neutral is not used inside the control box. There is a terminal for connecting the neutral conductor.
Note: Mono-phase 230VAC is not available in the control box. For further information, please contact your
Picanol service engineer.
• System earthing:
• TB (TN-C; TN-C_S; TN-S),
• TT,
• IT.
Note: If an IT-type is used, insulation monitoring should be installed by the customer. Picanol does not supply
such a monitoring system.
Cable section
The tables below show the minimum value of the cable section for a specific supply voltage and the maximum cable length from the
power source to the machine. These tables take the above mentioned requirements into account.
These tables apply if:
• Every machine has a separate supply cable to the power source.
• The supply voltage equals the nominal level.
12 Electronics

Note: If the supply voltage drops below the nominal voltage, the cross section of the connection cable must be
increased to compensate for that loss in voltage.

1 The cable is 6 mm² for reason of overload protection.

2 25 mm² single wire is the maximum cable section that can be connected on QM.
Note: When using one cable to connect the main distribution point with multiple machines and another distribution point is
available close to the machines, the copper of the cables can be used in a more efficient way as the cable is rated with a higher
voltage. As a result, the difference between nominal power and peak power at start-up of one of those machines becomes smaller.
Note: In most cases, there is no influence on the nominal voltage during start-up of a machine. The nominal voltage can drop 15%
during start up.
1.3.2 Supply cable protections

Overload protection
The overload protection upstream of the power cable of the weaving machine protects:
• The power supply cable,
• The main switch in the control box.
The thermal protection can be done with fuses of the type aM or D (according to the standard IEC 60269-1).
Table 3: Used fuses
Supply voltage Value of the type aM or D fuse
200V to 346V 32A
380V to 460V 25A
480V to 600V 25A
Icu value of the control box

The maximum allowed short circuit current (Icu) supplied to the main switch is limited (according to the standard IEC 60947-2). The
power distribution must be able to cope with that.
14 Electronics

Table 4: The maximum allowed short circuit current (Icu)
Supply voltage Icu (kA)
200V to 346V 10
380V to 460V 4
480V to 600V 3
Leak current protection

The machine control has no leak current protection. If the local laws demand a leak current protection, it must be provided in the
power distribution of the weaving mill.
The leak current protection should have the following properties:
• Time delayed leak current protection,
• Should not be lower than 300mA,
• One leak current protection per machine.
1.3.3 Shielded wire connections

Yellow cable ties
Yellow cable ties are used where a shielded wire must make contact with the ground plane of the machine. The shield, made of braided
copper strands, is used to reduce interference with other devices.
CAUTION: After removing a yellow cable tie, the shielded wire must always be reconnected to the ground plane of the machine.
Shielding connections
For more information about the shielding connections, see: Shielded wire connections .
1.3.4 Data cables

Interferences
In case data cables are installed, Picanol recommends not to lay the data cables next to the power line cables to the weaving machines
to avoid interferences.

1.4.2 Security
The safety system combines software and hardware protection.
The hardware protection consists of:
• The second contact (PB-*-2) (where * = SMF, SMR, PFF or PFR) of the buttons controlling machine movements.
• The activation of the STAND-BY position.
• The relay control unit on the CBMP.
• The emergency stops.
16 Electronics

1.4.3 Power supply - motor switches
Motor switch KMM
Switches 2 contacts (1-2 and 5-6), while 1 contact (3-4) is connected through.
• The INRUSH print is located across 1 contact (1-2). This print makes sure the ELCO's loading current on the G3-LDEC is
restricted and that the ELCO's remain charged in case of an open KMM.
• The motor switch switches on after POWER ON.
1.4.4 Control system of the main motor control box

• The control system is located on the CULD board. The CULD board is part of the G3-LDEC board.
• The G3-LDEC board is controlled and monitored via the LOCAN bus.
1.4.5 Main motor

Stator coils

1.4.9 ELO (Electronic Let-Off)

There are two Let-off versions:
• Without speed change gear box.
• With speed change gear box A.
Note: A speed change gear box offers more pick density and let-off speed options to ensure an optimal working of the let-off.
Note: The electrical connection is the same for both versions.
Note: The configuration is part of the MID.
The ELO motors
Principle of the motor drive

• The stator coils are controlled by means of a chopper voltage from the SRDD board control modules.
• The power supply to the SRDD board for power stages is the 290V DC.
• The current in the different motor phases is monitored by means of current sensors. If 1 measurement is incorrect, the
control modules for the motor concerned are switched off by means of the Drive Disable signal.
Electronics 21

Number of ELO motors
Depending on the machine configuration, maximally 2 let-off motors can be present:
• ELO_RHS in case of single warp beam.
• ELO_RHS + ELO_LHS in case of double warp beam.
The motor
The motor contains 4 double stator coils.
=> R = 2.3 Ω (per double stator coil)
The resolver
A resolver is mounted on the rotor shaft. The resolver signals are used to:
• Continuously calculate the motor speed.
• Determine the motor’s angle position.
This data is used to control the motor.
The brake
• The motor brake is of the normally closed type:
• The brake must be powered to open.
• The brake keeps the warp beam in place while power is -0-OFF- or in extended downtime situations.
• Power supply = 26V DC choppered
• R = ±26 Ω
Temperature control
A normally closed bimetal is provided as thermal protection. This opens when the temperature rises above 100°C.

• The warp tension sensor converts the warp tension into an analogue current (4-20 mA).
• The warp tension sensors must be calibrated before accurate measurements are possible, see:
• TSF (Tension Sensor in the Feeler roller)
• The TSDWC (Tension Sensor Direct Warp Control)
• TSW (Tension Sensor in the Warp)
• Power supply for the warp tension sensors = +26V DCS.
Warp tension limit values

• Warp tension and warp tension limit values are set using the machine terminal.
• If the warp tension limit values are exceeded, the machine stops.
22 Electronics

Monitoring the sensors
The DTWT1 signal is used to detect the connection of the warp tension sensor.
1.4.10 ETU (Electronic Take-Up)

The SRDD board microprocessor controls the ETU motor on the basis of:
• The set pick density,
• The machine speed.
The ETU motor drives the sand roller through a gear train.

Parallel / Bicom
There are several ways to connect a loom monitoring system to the machine:
• Parallel loom monitoring
• Serial Bicom and Ethernet Bicom
Parallel loom monitoring

Parallel loom monitoring loads the basic information (stops, picks woven...) from the machine. The weaving machine is equipped with a
connector that includes 5 contacts which become high or low depending on the machine status (running, stopped...).
The monitoring system supplier connects to this interface by using a data unit to record production and stops.
A separate terminal is needed in case of additional communication between the operator and the monitoring system. This terminal
must be provided by the monitoring system supplier.
Note: Bidirectional communication between the machine and the server is not possible through the PD15.

7 PI_PP Signal that toggles every pick
8 PI_WD Warp stop
9 PI_STRT Running / stopped
10 PI_FD Filling stop
11 SUP_PI Supply voltage
12 PI_RES Bobbin brake stop
Serial Bicom and Ethernet Bicom

Via Bicom it is possible to have communication between the machine and the monitoring system.
The monitoring system can send commands to the machine and vice versa.
Note: In case of Bicom, the user can send declarations from the machine to the monitoring system via the PDP.
Note: Bicom requires the monitoring system supplier to implement a communication protocol. This protocol requires expert skills to
implement and can be bought from Picanol. If the protocol is purchased by the customer, the monitoring system supplier can only
implement this at this customer. If the protocol is bought by the monitoring system supplier, it can be used at different customers.
The IP address of the loom cannot be part of the network: 192.168.10.x.
Serial Bicom
The data is exchanged via a RS422 interface. The monitoring system supplier must install additional boards in the control box to capture
the data from the machine and send it to the monitoring system.
Note: SUP_RS422: 26V supply voltage for the Data Unit with a maximum load of 300mA.
Ethernet Bicom
The machine is connected to a LAN network (Ethernet cable). Each machine connected to this network has its own IP address. By means
of these IP addresses, the monitoring system can request or send data to each machine.
LOCAN
It is important to connect or disconnect the LOCAN connector correctly.
Connecting the LOCAN connector

Open both clips A to disconnect the cable.

2.2.1 About the pattern editor

Function of the Pattern Editor
With the Pattern Editor, it is possible to:
• Create and edit designs,
• Open, save designs and send them to the weaving machine.
Overview of process
• Opening the current Design ,
• Sending a Design to the weaving machine ,
• Creating a new Design ,
• Editing > Entering lines ,
• Opening a Design saved on a USB-stick or on the PD15 ,
• Saving a Design onto a USB-stick or onto the PD15 .

E Speed.
Definitions of the Pattern Editor
Introduction
• A Design contains patterns,
• Patterns may be independent or combined,
192 The display

• Patterns may be index or grid patterns,
• The patterns are composed of different levels: main- and sub-patterns.
Pattern Editor
The Pattern Editor is a user interface on the PD15, which enables the user to:
• Create and edit designs,
• Open, save designs and send them to the weaving machine.
Design
A Design is a file (.des) containing all patterns you want to use for weaving.
Current Design
The Current Design is the Design the weaving machine is actually using for the weaving.
Main and (inverse) sub-patterns

A pattern is made up of main and (inverse) sub-patterns.
Main pattern
A main pattern is the top level of a pattern.
Sub-pattern
A sub-pattern is a partial pattern that is used to draw up :
• A main pattern,
• A sub-pattern of a higher level.
Inverse sub-pattern
An inverse sub-pattern is the mirror image of a sub-pattern.
Independent and combined patterns

Independent patterns
Independent patterns are patterns which are put in a design together, but independently of one another.
The display 193

Combined patterns
Combined patterns are patterns which are put together in a design, but combined (dependent on each other). Some patterns can only
exist in combination with other patterns. For example, Cramming Motion can only exist in combination with Dobby or SmartShed.
194 The display

Grid and index pattern
Grid pattern
A grid pattern is a pattern where you have to enter:
• Whether a harness frame is high or low (e.g. weave (Dobby), ELSY),
• Whether a function is activated (e.g. Cramming Motion, )
Index pattern
An index pattern is a pattern where you have to enter references to an index table (e.g. pick density, speed, warp tension, ... ).
A Index pattern with references to the index tables.
B Index table with actual values (e.g. for speed).
Note:
• Colors can be set both as grid patterns or as index patterns,
• The advantage of using an index pattern for color: less space is required,
• The advantage of using an grid pattern for color: multi-insertion and 0-insertion enable easy activation and
deactivation of cells.
The display 195

Design restrictions
Restrictions
There are no restrictions concerning pattern combinations, number of pattern lines, number of sub patterns and number of index
values.

What happens if different Designs are successively sent to the weaving machine
Introduction
If you send a new Design to the weaving machine, the previous Design will be lost.
Patterns that are not included into the new Design are reset to their default pattern.
Example of sending different Designs
If you send ... to the weaving machine, and this Design contains the following then ...
patterns ...
first Design 1 • Dobby 1, the weaving machine uses:

• Color 1, • Dobby 1,
• ELSY 1, • Color 1,
• Pick density 1, • ELSY 1,
• Pick density 1.
subsequently Design 2 • Dobby 2, the ELSY and pick density pattern are
• Color 2, reset. The weaving machine now uses:
• Dobby 2,
• Color 2,
• the default -1/1 ELSY pattern,
• the fixed pick density (adjustable
on the start-up screen).
finally Design 3 only Dobby 3, the color pattern is lost. This can not hap-
pen as you always need a color pattern.
Sending an index table to the weaving machine

Note: This procedure can be executed on a running weaving machine.
Note: When sending an index table to the weaving machine, only the index table in the weaving machine is overwritten, the rest of
the Design is saved.
With this procedure, the pick density, speed or warp tension of the pattern can be changed, without having to restart the Design
from line 1.

About warp length monitoring

Warp length monitoring helps you to:
• Monitor the warp beam yarn length that has been consumed and that is still on the warp beam,
• Estimate the duration before the warp beam is empty.
The display 239

G.
E Shows the consumed length of the warp beam.
F To set the length of the yarn that is still on the warp beam.
Note: This value can be changed to precise the remaining yarn length on the warp beam.
Note: E.g. In case of labels on the beam at certain warp lengths.
G Shows the estimated duration until the warp beam is empty.
H To specify the contraction factor. See: Contraction factor .
Contraction factor
If the contraction factor and the compensation factor are both set to 100%, the listed warp consumption will be equal to the listed
order length.
Note:
The difference between the warp length counter and the real warp length can only be checked after reaching the end of the beam.
Picanol advises to learn with different warp beams to set the correction factor correctly. This way you can learn to know the
contraction factor using the effective woven cloth length and the calculated length.
