INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Congratulations for choosing a BTSR product. With our SMART WARP yarn control system, you got an innovative, unique solution, which offers you multiple advantages concerning the quality control of your production. SMART WARP has been designed for applications on large warping machines that use in continuous mode a large number of yarns (up to 2000) during the entire working cycle.
Special Features of SMART WARP System The SMART WARP system has a set of unique features which make it a true microcomputer dedicated to programming/control of production and statistical analysis of technical faults.
The system automatically learns the sequence of yarns used by the textile machine. ! IS3 Sensors (Image Smart Scanning Sensor) (BTSR Patents) The sensors are connected to the SM-DIN modules in “daisy-chain” mode, thus making extremely easy the wiring operation.
Self-restoring fuse, 5A Power Supply Power supply voltage (*) 15..24 Vac ± 10% (by transformer) (*) The supply voltage to SMART WARP terminal is provided by the connection cable between terminal and SM-DIN interface module. SMART WARP - 2.1 -...
Technical Data and Installation SM-DIN - Sensor Connection As described on chapter 1, the SMART WARP system can manage up to 2000 IS3 sensors, connected through SM-DIN interface modules (up to 20). Each module can manage up to 100 sensors distributed along 4 backbone lines.
SM-DIN module nn – (identified by means of Edt function directly on SM-DIN module) Chain 1 - Sensors Max 100 sensors Chain 2 - Sensors identified by means of Device function (Setup → Config menu) Chain 3 - Sensors Chain 4 - Sensors - 2.4 - SMART WARP...
OPERATION SMART WARP Terminal Features As for all SMART BTSR systems, the operation of SMART WARP system is controlled by just 5 membrane buttons and it is monitored by a LCD graphic display, which guides the operator through all programming and administration phases of the system, by means of straight-forward messages which can be understood clearly and immediately.

SM-DIN Module Configuration The SM-DIN sensor interface modules require the programming of 2 parameters only: Identification number of SM-DIN modules within the system (1 to 20) Communication speed (Baudrate) between SMART WARP and SM-DIN (115,2 or 57,6 Kbps) Procedure 3 sec.
The lighting of respective red leds indicates: FAST input inactive. SLOW input inactive. RESET input active. SM-DIN module in CONTROL status. Communication in progress between SM-DIN and SMART WARP. STOP output (AL2) active (led flashing). STOP output (AL1) active (led flashing). SM-DIN module powered SMART WARP...
Green LED FLASHING Indicates a technical fault in the sensor(e.g. a loss of Red LED FLASHING stored data). Try to reprogram the sensor. If the fault remains, replace the sensor. - 3.6 - SMART WARP...
The SENS parameter allows the control of the sensor sensitivity level, depending on the article to be processed. It can be programmed to a value ranging between 1 and 10. The default value is 4. SMART WARP - 3.7 -...
In the presence of frequent errors detected by the sensors, it is suggested to gradually change such values until an optimal condition is achieved. - 3.8 - SMART WARP...
Operation Automatic adaptation of control parameters to the machine speed One of the main features of the SMART WARP system is the possibility of programming 2 different sets of control parameters (P_SLOW and P_FAST) and automatically switching from one set to the other depending on the status of two external input signals, provided by the textile machine (SLOW EXT and FAST EXT).
If the CONTROL message appears, it means that the system correctly started the production control phase. (All the red Leds inside the buttons of SMART WARP terminal, as well as the Leds of SM-DIN Interface Modules turn off, except the CONTROL Leds).
Operation Operating Sequences The SMART WARP system allows you to carry out the following set of functions: Programming the parameters that affect the system operation, through a number of interactive menus. Activating a LEARN cycle, during which the sequence of yarns used by the "...

Operation TEST - COM Test of Communication Line Between SMART WARP Terminal and SM- DIN Modules SETUP CONFIG TEST This function allows you to check the perfect operation of the communications line between the SMART WARP terminal and the connected SM-DIN modules.
The test does not send any diagnostic message to the SMART WARP system display! The operator shall simply select the number of the desired sensor, within òthe map defined with the MAP function: "...
To avoid evaluation mistakes (i.e. to consider a yarn running, while it is actually still), the Learn phase uses a special BTSR algorithm that makes such phase extremely accurate. In case of unstable sensor reading, an error message is displayed.
Operation Display Signalings during the Control Process During the Control process, the display of the SMART WARP terminal as well as the display of SM-DIN modules may show various failure signaling messages. When the failure refers to a sensor two alternate screens appear which indicate the machine side (either Side A or Side B) and the co-ordinate (ROW/COL) of the sensor that detected the failure.

During the learning cycle, pay attention not to touch the yarns and not to stop the machine. 3. At the end of the learning cycle the SMART WARP must automatically start the control phase (CONTROL nnnn displayed), where nnn indicates the number of sensors learnt with running yarn.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Updating the Software Version on SMART Terminals The software updating on BTSR SMART terminals is a relatively easy operation. However it must be carried out following scrupulously the instructions given in this manual and using the indicated tools to avoid damaging the equipment and/or microprocessor contacts.
