Page 6: General Features
1 GENERAL FEATURES 1.1 INTRODUCTION The KYC is an interface between feeders and lap top. It is connected to feeders through a communication cable. It has a wireless or a LAN connection with lap top. The Lap Top is required to have following features: 1. -
Page 7: Kyc Information Led
2. MACHINE RUN. When this yellow LED is on, the machine runs. If it is off the machine is standing. 3. MACHINE STOP. When this red LED turns on, it means that the KYC sends a stop signal to the machine. Normally this led blinks once when the KYC stops the machine. The led does not stay on because the KYC removes the stop signal, thus permitting the operator to turn the machine. -
Page 8: Kyc Dip Switches
: a. KYC has a static ip address of 169.254.0.1 b. KYC acts as a DHCP server assigning to the DHCP clients a pool from 169.254.0.5 up to 169.254.0.1 1 c. For the wireless side, the Wi-Fi mode is forced to be ad hoc and without data encryption;... -
Page 9: Steps To Do To Include The Kyc In An Infrastructure
Note: follow this procedure only in case you want to include the KYC in a company network. After you have connected to the KYC ( in soft ap mode ) with the usual address : 169.254.0.1, you have to select , from the “File” menu, the submenu “Options” ( like below ). - Page 10 1 GENERAL FEATURES After a while the “Setup Connect” menu will appear like below :...
- Page 11 (if you select dynamic addressing you cannot know at priori the IP address). IP Address: For each KYC you have to set a unique static IP address in order to not create IP conflicts : i.e. Machine Nr. 1 -> 192.168.0.1; Machine Nr. 2 -> 192.168.0.2, etc.
- Page 12 If you have any problems in the configuration (i.e. : inserted the wrong SSID) there is always the possibility to revert the KYC to the std. soft ap connection by putting the DS4 dip switch ON on the KYC device: you can then reconnect in sof ap mode and write the correct configuration (before pressing Save remember to put DS4 to OFF position otherwise the KYC will reboot in soft ap mode anyway...).

Page 13: Wifi Mode: Ad Hoc And Soft Ap
On the contrary “Soft AP” mode works with Windows XP, Windows7, Windows8 and Windows10. If you can’t connect WI-FI to the KYC device, one of the reasons could be that you are using windows 8 or windows10 and the KYC device is set “Ad Hoc”. In this case we suggest to con-... -

3 PARAMETERS 3.1 FEEDERS PARAMETERS Press GROUP ALL. Click on one of the two SELECT PARAMETER buttons. A parameter list will appear: Note: The list will be displayed only if there are selected feeders. - Page 18 3 PARAMETERS Feeder Feeder selected not selected Click on the parameter which you would like to see and click on “view parameter” (in the picture Tdes. Dgr). Note: there is the option to select “single” or “change on all feeders of the same type”. “single”: the desired parameter will be shown only for one feeder.
- Page 19 3 PARAMETERS T des. dgr is a read/write parameter, and it is written in white. Read/write means that it is possible to read the parameter value but also to set a desired value. T read dgr is a read only parameter, and it is written in grey.

Page 20: Attivo Electronic Brake Settings: Tdes. Dgr And Tread Dgr
It is possible to read actual yarn tension and to program the desired tension on each feeder. For example in the following picture the KYC is reading Tread dgr and Tdes dgr. These parame- ters are written in the feeder square because they have been selected form the list (shown in the previous picture). - Page 21 3 PARAMETERS The continuous reading mode can be stopped any time by pressing STOP. See following picture. In this picture the system is standing and the screen shows the last read numbers. Tdes.dgr is written in white (read/write parameter, 2.8g for first feeder, 2.4g for second feeder and so on).

4 KLS 4.1 KLS: AUTOMATIC OUTPUT STOP MOTION SYSTEM KLS system allows the feeder to stop the machine without using a sensor, in case of an output yarn break event. If the yarn gets broken between the feeder and the machine, the feeder will be able to detect the event and stop the machine. - Page 24 3. GREEN BUTTON. ENABLING: there is the possibility to enable or disable the green but- ton that is located on the KYC box (look at the previous picture). If the green button on the KYC box is disabled, the operator can press it as much as he wants, but nothing will happen.

5 ALARMS 5.1 FEEDERS ALARMS By clicking on the ALARMS button located on each feeder square, it is possible to ask feeders about their status. If a feeder has its lights ON or blinking, it means the feeder is in alarm condi- tion. - Page 29 5 ALARMS In case feeders are OK, nothing will be shown on the display. Here below a list of the possible alarms: ALARM MEANING ACTIONS AC PWRFAIL Phase number 2 (blue) and / Check input voltage and feeder or phase number 3 (yellow) are connection on the flat cable.

Page 31: Configuration
6 CONFIGURATION 6.1 MACHINE CONFIGURATION It is possible to create different feeders groups and work on each group separately. For example if the operator has to set 2grams tension on feeder number 1, number 5, number 9 and so on, it may be easier to create one group with feeder 1, feeder5, feeder9 … The system allows to have on the screen only this specific group and set parameters which are valid only for this group. - Page 32 6 CONFIGURATION On top of the screen there is the name of the group (front in this case) and the operator has the possibility to choose the feeders he wants to associate to the group. He can insert just the single repatition.
- Page 33 6 CONFIGURATION The next picture shows all groups associated in one single repetition. Now press REPEAT icon: The single repetition will be copied on all the other feeders, so that each feeder will be associ- ated to the correct group. Press icon:...

Page 62: Yarn Consumption Of Belt Driven Feeders
There are two possibilities: We add an LGL feeder behind a belt driven feeder, this feeder can be a new feeder in addi- tion to the ones already installed on the machine, or a feeder that is already installed on the machine and that is not being used in that specific pattern. -
Page 63: Belt Feeder
7 YCM 7.6.1 Belt feeder If Belt consumption feeder has been selected, the BELT name will appear among the other groups names, and the system will allow to set the address of the feeder which is installed be- hind one belt driven feeder. In the belt feeder square the operator needs to set the amount of belt driven feeders used in the pattern, so that the system will report the total amount of yarn consumed by all belt driven feeders together. - Page 64 7 YCM The belt driven feeder selected is number 1 only. There is the possibility to select more than one belt driven feeder. In any case none of them will enter in the REPEAT command After teh groups creation is terminated, there is always the possibility to save the configuration. The .mac file will be saved on the PC in the desired folder and will be loaded on the JAVA, appearing top left of the screen (Pippo1.mac in the following picture).
