Operating Manual BKS600A 4.4 Edge Sensors An optical sensor (AZS01) and an ultrasonic sensor (US01) is available from FMS. Adjustment is done automatically. 4.5 Manual Sensor Adjustment The manual sensor adjustment allows an easy positionning of the sensor across the whole material width.
– Control mode (edge left, edge right, center guiding)? – Number and setup of the edge sensors? – Steering device type (FMS steering frame, hydraulic drive or other device)? (if a linear DC drive for unwind or rewind stands is used it must be setup; refer to „9.7 Line-up of the limit positions and Offset Compensation“)
Operating Manual BKS600A 7 Installation and Wiring Caution Proper function of the electronic unit is only guaranteed with the recommended application of the components. In case of other arrangement, heavy malfunction can be the result. Therefore, the installation instructions on the following pages must be followed strictly.

Operating Manual BKS600A Caution The processor board is mounted to the housing cover. Improper handling may damage the fragile electronic equipment! Don’t use rough tools such as screwdrivers or pliers! Touch processor board as little as possible! Touch earthed metal part to discharge static electricity before open the housing! fig.

Operating Manual BKS600A 7.3 Mounting the Steering Device Mounting and wiring is done according to manufacturer’s specifications. Take care that the steering device is mounted in the right position regarding the running direction of the material web. If a steering frame is used, the pivot point mus be located at the entry side and the edge sensors must be located at the exit side (fig.
Operating Manual BKS600A 7.5 Mounting of the Linear Units The linear units must be installed after the steering frame regarding running direction (fig. 13). They will be mounted directly to the machine frame using the supplied brackets. Wiring of the linear units is done according to wiring diagram (fig. 10). The electronic control unit detects automatically if 1 or 2 linear units are connected.
Wiring of the edge sensors to the terminals is done according to wiring diagram (fig. 9). The FMS sensors provide a signal of 0...10V. If sensors with different signal range are used, this must be parametrized (refer to „8.2 Configuring the Electronic Unit“).
Operating Manual BKS600A 8.2 Configuring the Electronic Unit Prior to the first calibration, the following settings must be done (ref. to „9. Parametrization“ and „14. Technical reference“): System parameters Language Required display language Service parameters Motor config. Standard Stroke motor depending on steering device used Start pos.

The special functions (ref. to fig. 16) provide the following possibilities for manual operation: Manual operation, generally • Center: (Only with FMS steering device) The steering device will return to its center position with the ↵ key (also possible by digital input).
Operating Manual BKS600A 8.5 Operation without Linear Units Alignment of the Sensors • Align sensor axis to the web edge: Loosen the fixing nut on the bracket and adjust the sensor. Fix the sensor in the new position. The sensor will be positioned properly if the web edge goes through the sensor axis (center of active window;...
Operating Manual BKS600A 8.6 Operation with Linear Units Start of Detection • If an edge is found with the preceding settings, the control LED on the rear side of the sensor lights (Exception: The ultrasonic sensor US01 has no LED).

Operating Manual BKS600A Automatic operation (with reference point on the machine frame) If a reference point on the machine frame was taken (ref. to „8.7 Measuring from a Reference Point on the Machine Frame“), the position reference is calculated slightly different as without reference on the machine frame.
Operating Manual BKS600A 8.7 Measuring from a Reference Point on the Machine Frame With or without linear units a reference point can be defined. Then, all position vaules will refer to this reference point. The reference point can be on the machine frame, for example (fig.

Range: Metric, US standard Default: Metric Note: (not used from the BKS600A) Lowpass display Use: The electronic unit provides a lowpass filter to prevent noise which is added to the integrated display. This parameter stores the cut off frequency. The lower the cut off frequency, the more sluggish the output signal will be.
This parameter defines what signal is provided at the analog output. If set to Controller output an actuator with analog signal can be operated instead of an FMS steering frame (i.e. hydraulic valve; ref. to parameter Output config.). If set to Feedback sensor the actual web position is provided at the output in the automatic mode.
Page 30
Operating Manual BKS600A Output manual Use: If parameter Analog output is set to Controller output, this parameter defines the signal value which drives the actuator when using the manual mode. If the sign is changed, the polarity of the analog output signal is changed too.
Page 31
Operating Manual BKS600A Output config. Use: For the analog output (controller output) this parameter defines the output signal range. Range: 0...10V and 0...20mA, Default: 0...10V 0...10V and 4...20mA, and ±10V 0...20mA Note: The jumper for the tension output must match the settings of this parameter.

FMS linear units are used, these parameters are factory-adjusted and need no modification. Any setting is only needed if the web guide is used with a steering device other than FMS steering frames or linear units other than FMS. Each function module has its own set of service parameters.
