SMART MATRIX Master ↔ SMART MATRIX Slave Connection In case of large textile machines, you may install two SMART MATRIX TWIST terminals connected to each other (for instance at the two machine ends), in order to give the operator the possibility to operate on different machine points.
Example of Plant Layout Example of Plant Layout The following figure shows a configuration example with: • 1 SMART MATRIX TWIST terminal, • 2 SM-DIN TWIST Board, • 4 IS3W-TTS sensors for Board 1 and 4 IS3F-TTS sensors for Board 2.
SMART MATRIX TWIST Operation All the Configuration, Parameter Setting, Data & Error Display operations, etc. can be managed by the Operator in quick and intuitive way, using the SMART MATRIX TWIST control terminal. The SMART MATRIX ↔ Operator interface consists of: A - Graphic display showing: •...
SMART MATRIX TWIST Operation Navigation throughout the Display Windows Many configuration/parameter setting functions of SMART MATRIX system require a number of parameters distributed among multiple display windows. All the “Window Selection”, “Parameter Selection within a Window” and “Parameter Setting” functions on SMART MATRIX terminal, can be carried out using exclusively the multi-function Rotary Selector, through a navigation technique based upon “Pointing”, “Selecting”...
