    Safety indication None of the inputs or outputs of ETC5000 and IO20 are intrinsically safe NOTICE inputs or outputs. Therefore, do not use the ETC5000 system for safety- relevant applications! System design ETC5000 (Easy Touch Control) is a complete system for the control of format adjustment. It is suitable for controlling up to 31 bus-compatible position indicators and actuators via SIKONETZ5.
  • Page 4: Recipe

    Recipe The setpoints associated with a product or a format are united in a recipe in ETC5000, i. e., every recipe represents a product or a format. Additionally, the name of the recipe as well as a job-related instruction can be saved besides the target values. For more detailed information refer to chapter 8.2: Recipe management –...

  • Page 8: Axis Positioning

    Axis Positioning The Axis positioning function can be used for positioning an individual axis. Via the "Axis Positioning" button on the start screen you get to an overview of all connected devices. First select an axis to be able to specify the target value of that axis. You need only tap on the device symbol of the desired axis for this purpose.
  • Page 9: Settings

Recipes can be created, deleted or edited under the "Recipe Editing"...
  • Page 10: Device Manager

    Device manager 8.1.1 Bus-Scan The SIKONETZ5 bus is scanned before you actually get to the device manager. ETC5000 checks independently whether new devices were connected or whether all configured devices are still correctly connected. A Pop-up (1) message indicates any new devices found or discrepancies between the configuration file and the connected devices.
  • Page 11: Device Manager

    The device found during the bus scan is displayed on the left side and the one last configured on the right side. By actuating either button, the user can decide for every single device (5) found in the bus scanning procedure whether to take it over or maintain the old configuration (6).
  • Page 12: Change The Parameters Of An Axis/Device

    The device manager does not necessarily show the devices actually NOTICE connected, but the ones set by the user! Click on the button (device symbol) of the relevant axis for manual configuration of a new device. A pop-up (9) opens where you can select the device type via a drop-down menu (10). The device selected appears in the pop-up and is taken over via the "Save"...
  • Page 13: Functions Of Io20

    Before you can access the parameter page you should carry out alignment of the parameters stored in ETC5000 and in the connected devices. A pop-up opens in case of discrepancies, and the user must determine the valid value. The user is also informed by a pop-up if an error occurs during the processes of saving the parameters and transmission to the connected device.
  • Page 14 drives enable The drives enable function is an enable input of the connected drives. The drives cannot be started unless the setpoint (High/Low) is applied to this input. For this, the Start button on the recipe-positioning page is enabled or disabled depending on the status. The drives cannot be started via this input.
  • Page 15: Recipe Management - Editing Recipes

    Recipe management – Editing recipes Management of recipes occurs in this area. Here you can create a recipe for a new format or product or edit existing recipes. A recipe contains four different pieces of information. The user selects the recipe at different places in the ETC5000 via the recipe name. For the internal management and the selection via the IO20, each recipe is automatically given a recipe number.

  • Page 19: User Accounts

    User accounts User accounts are managed, deleted or added under this menu item. A safety level (SL) higher than 7 is required to be able to edit user accounts. There are five qualitatively different safety levels for ETC5000. Since the user name is logged with recording it makes sense to create a unique user account for every operator of ETC5000.
  • Page 20: Security Level

    Security level Five user accounts are predefined on ETC5000 with the following authorizations: SIKO This account is reserved for service technicians of the SIKO (*SL9) company SW Update This account is intended exclusively for software updates and (*SL8) should only be used for this purpose...
  • Page 21: Log File

    Log file ETC5000 records all relevant events and saves them with a time stamp and the currently logged-in user information in a log file (1). Under this item you can view all recorded events. Furthermore, you can determine whether the log file shall be exported to a USB stick when ETC5000 memory is nearly full (free memory <20 %) (2).
  • Page 22: Commissioning Etc5000
