* Under specific circumstances up to 16. Check with Eltex service station. Introduction Eltex EYE-System Eltex EYE system detects the movement of the yarns. At the installation and whenever the quantity of yarns or their positions are changed, a learn command is made. All yarn positions where the yarns are moving will then be active.
Navigating in the operator terminal This manual refers to “pages” in the operator terminal. Page numbers can be found in the upper left corner on each “page”. Explanation of Ramp up Before the machine has reached the normal operating speed, it is possible to start the monitoring of the yarns using special Ramp up parameters.
Sensor parameters: How to check/set the parameters of the sensors: Sensitivity and reaction time must be set correctly. (If different groups have been set up the parameters can be set differently for each group). Sensitivity (Gain) determines how easy the sensor can detect the yarn movement. There are two different reaction times, “False Yarn Filter”...
Service / Fault finding General for the EYE system Indicator LEDs on the EYE sensors: Common LED Channel LED Description Machine status on sensor on sensor Machine is not Power on, yarn detection Green on operating off, no stop detected. Green flashing Machine is operating Yarn detection on.
The EYE system stops and show “False yarn position” · Cleaning the Sensors or the machine with compressed air or using air splicers nearby when the machine is operating can cause this fault indication. · On the Operator Terminal and on the sensors, it is indicated which eyelet position is causing the false yarn movement.
How to run “Sensor addr setup” command Make sure all sensors are connected to the master control unit. From the main menu, press “Service”. Press “Set sensor addresses”. You will then be asked to enter a The sensors will now be automatically password.
Switch the power on. · The software is updated continuously. In most cases the EYE-system will work as before with a newer software in the Operator Terminal. In case of problems contact Eltex. 10 / 26 TH-0362 EYE system for creels Users guide...
Procedure to do a standard installation: Connection example of MCU The system configuration described later in this manual refers to a connection made as this example. The inputs and outputs can however be used in any of the available functions. The system configuration in the Operator Terminal must then in that case be made accordingly.

The Master Control Unit (MCU) has 8 inputs and 6 outputs and these are in this example used as follows: Input no Function Output Function 12 / 26 TH-0362 EYE system for creels Users guide...
Hardware installation: 1. Mount the Enclosure 10320 containing the Master Control Unit (MCU) 11710 and Operator Terminal 11797, on a suitable position. 2. Mount the EYE sensors. Be sure that the yarns are touching the ceramic eyelet and are making a small deviation when passing the sensor.
System configuration in Operator Terminal: Phrases: Channels = Yarn positions. B Pos = Sensor position in the LIN bus. B Pos 1 is the first sensor. On the following installation procedure there are on each page a “Help” button which will show additional information.

How to configurate Inputs and Outputs General preferences for the installation. Configuration of the standard inputs. If DI1 is With this setting a password will be required to used for “Run mode” Enter like this. change sensor parameters. DI7/PI1 can be used for external learn button. You can start with the value on Run mode 5000 = 5 sec.

Setting up Alias It is possible to give a name (Alias) for each yarn/position. This will be displayed on the Operator terminal at any kind of yarn fault. If you wish, you can leave the alias part for now and continue on “Setting up groups” to have the system started up sooner.

Example: . With this setting the yarn positions in With this setting the yarn positions in the left 5th the upper left level will be numbered from level will be numbered from L5-01 to L5-16. L6-01 to L6-16. Do not forget: press “Apply alias” before Please remember: When the Alias has been entering the next section entered, then press “enter”...
