INTRODUCTION 2.0 Installation Model CYGNUS-E is intended for mounting on any flat vertical surface capable of supporting it. See Figure 9 for dimensions. The CYGNUS-E meets the environmental and mechanical requirements of EN50178. CYGNUS-E exceeds the environmental degree of protection requirement with an IP65 rating. If the IP65 rating is required in the final installation, sealing type cable grips should be used for cable entry.
INSTALLATION CYGNUS® basic set-up This section provides a summary of the basic set-up and calibration of the CYGNUS control. Additional features and options of the CYGNUS control are described later in this manual. NOTE: The CYGNUS-DINS3 is a special version of CYGNUS intended to be used for readout only. The isolated output of TB1 main output terminal has been converted to output a signal proportional to measured tension, and does not provide a corrective signal.
INSTALLATION Fuses The only maintenance that may be required on CYGNUS is fuse replacement. Replacement of any fuse requires opening the enclosure, which circumvents the enclosure IP rating. WARNING: DISCONNECT MAINS BEFORE OPENING ENCLOSURE To replace a fuse: On Model CYGNUS-DIN: On Model CYGNUS-E: 1.
INSTALLATION 3.0 Electrical connections Figure 3 shows the connections that are required for the basic CYGNUS system. They are: 115 or 230 vac power One or two MAGPOWR load cells Tension reference output to readout device RUN/STOP using the CYGNUS internal logic supply (For readout only – Jumper TB3-1&2) OUTPUT to clutch or brake amplifier, current-to-pressure transducer, motor controller, etc.

TUNING 7.0 Tuning (NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION) There are three ways to tune your system. The method used depends on your personal preference and end requirements. All tuning must be done with the machine running. In general, the tuning procedures consists of two steps.
TUNING Optimize manual tuning Manual tuning allows the operator to adjust tuning parameters by using one button to stabilize the system and another button to destabilize the system. “Optimizing” allows for precise tuning by first making the system unstable, then re-stabilizing it. NOTE: System must be running to Manually Tune. (Home Screen) Select design method “PI”...
TUNING Auto tuning By pressing a single button, the CYGNUS has the unique ability to automatically determine the stable/optimized tuning parameters for most systems. NOTE: Systems with large transients may require manual tuning as outlined in Section 7.2. System must be running in Manual Mode to Auto Tune. (Home Screen) You can choose different design methods without “Auto Tuning”...
TUNING Direct parameter access tuning (optional) Tuning parameters can easily be directly accessed for re-entry of data. (Home Screen) Enter “I” value Enter “D” value Enter “P” value Enter error limit Direct access to tuning parameters is intended for easy input of previously recorded values generated by Auto Tuning or Manual Optimization.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS 8.0 Optional functions Changing units of measure or language (Home Screen) Select language Select units NOTE: Conversion of existing units is automatically made. No re-calibration is required. Select units www.maxcessintl.com CYGNUS MI 850A316 1 B Page 24 of 66...
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Taper tension (optional) (NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION) Taper Tension is the reduction of tension as the diameter increases on a rewind. Taper Tension is desired on rewinds to prevent crushed cores and telescoping rolls caused by excess tension build up. Taper can be achieved by either estimating diameter, using the optional diameter input, or calculating diameter based on roll RPM and Velocity inputs (see Section 6.4 to calibrate these devices) (Home Screen)
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Inertia / acceleration compensation (optional) (NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION) This option is used for heavy rolls where the inertia negatively affects stopping and starting and acceleration/deceleration. With this feature the CYGNUS can compensate for the inertia and maintain better control. NOTE: This feature only works with linear ramping of velocity.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Hold level control (optional) (NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION) Hold Level is used to keep tension in the web after a machine is run through a controlled stop and is at rest. This level is adjustable from 0 to 100% of maximum output and should be set just high enough to prevent roll rotation while stopped, but not higher than necessary, since this value may have a momentary effect on tension at start.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Gain scheduling (optional) (NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION) NOTE: This function requires diameter input and is typically used with large roll builds. It allows one set dynamic tuning parameters at core and a different set at full roll. As the roll changes, diameter the control interpolates all of the parameters to maintain optimized tuning through the entire roll.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Out of round roll compensation (optional) (NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION) CYGNUS has the unique ability to compensate for the Velocity/Tension transients caused by out of round rolls. This feature requires a roll RPM sensor input into TB4.2 and TB4.3. The RPM sensor must be a pulse type which outputs 1 pulse per revolution of the out-of-round roll.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Alarms (optional) The Alarm Output is used to detect low or high tension and provide indication to an outside device. It is typically used for “Web Break Detection”. (Home Screen) Select Maximum output current Set whether Alarm is used of alarm signal.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Splice features (optional) (NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION) The CYGNUS contains helpful splice tools that control output during a splice and can reduce the tension transients typically experienced during a splice. Typically input the inverse of the build ratio.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS Inverse diameter output (optional) (NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION) The inverse diameter output function is used to slow the motor/drive input RPM to a clutch as a rewind roll builds. This minimizes the slip watts required to be dissipated by the clutch and extends clutch life. This connection is labeled 1/D and is connected between TB4.3 and TB4.4 CYGNUS has two control outputs.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS 8.10 Communication (optional) The CYGNUS connects to an Ethernet, DeviceNet or Profibus-DP bus through an optional HMS fieldbus system gateway. The gateway formats the data for the specific field bus. See Figures 2 & 3 for HMS gateway card installation.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS 8.11 Setups The CYGNUS stores up to (10) individual setups for machines that run multiple materials. Individual setups can include different tuning parameters, hold levels and tension set points. Each is independent of the other setup but can be copied if many parameters are similar. 8.11.1 Changing from one set-up to another Select setup (Home Screen)
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS 8.12 Security lock out This function allows you to lock all tuning, calibration and configuration parameters to prevent unauthorized tampering. Operators will still have access to tension set point, tension on/off, auto/manual, manual output and set- up changes. (NOTE: When selecting a security code be sure to record it in the space provided below). (Home Screen) Record Security Code Here: 1.
