Safety circuit with pilz-type module K20

The safety circuit is actuated either by the EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN button and the two cord switches (S20, S21) or by a software emergency shutdown.
Pressing the emergency shutdown button or pulling the cord (S20 and/or S21) throws the safety
relay (K20) out of its self-locking position. The
pilz-type module prevents the machine from
starting up independently after the emergency
shutdown button or cord switch has been released.
The machine performs the emergency stop procedure in two stages. First, the frequency inverter
(U1 spindle drive) is disabled. The frequency inverter starts to decelerate the machine as quickly
as possible to zero revs. This process is completed after max. 20 seconds (20) and the pilz-type
module then switches off all the contactors between the motors and frequency inverters (setting
on module (20)). This ensures that no drive is able
to rotate any more. If the emergency shutdown
button and/or the cords (S20/S21) are released
and the two START buttons (T14) or the acknowledgement button (T6) are pressed, the safety
relay (K20) returns with K27 to its selflocking position and at the same time the safety circuit is
tested. To actually start up the machine, actuate the two START buttons (T14) a second time.

On the front of the pilz-type module (K20) there

are some LEDs which indicate the current machine
status.

The LED combinations and their signification are as

follows:

The safety circuit is tested by running the Test

safety circuit every time the machine is switched
on, before every doffing procedure, after an emergency shutdown has been acknowledged (emergency shutdown button, cord (S20, S21) or software emergency shutdown).

Comissioning

8.1.

First operation

After installing a new program (EPROM), the operator follows step by step instrucions for the cold
start program displayed on the control panel.

8.2.

The ring-spinning frame cannot be started up

until all the data screens have been processed. It
is highly advisable to overwrite the default values
by the required data.

Cold start

COLD START
Key switch after input

Procedure:
Turn off the main switch.
Remove the battery of the SCU control
If necessary install the new program (SCU and
operation)
Turn on the main switch
Wait for the SCU control to start and check the
LED on the base printed circuit of the SCU control.
+ Instruction G3306
Insert the battery of the SCU control.
Put the key-operated switch to

Only forwards using
key is possible.
Enter all the data in order. The data screens can
be worked through backwards as long as the data
input has not yet been terminated by the basic
screen.
Work through all the data screens. Automatic sequence. (40.2, 40.1, 40.3, 41.1, 41.2, 41.3, 41.6,

The initialisation is now complete.
Attention!
After every cold start, the textile laboratory
must check the yarn values, as incorrect programming may lead to the production of faulty
yarn.
Incorrectly entered data can now be corrected.
Other data corrections are now possible in all data
screens provided the key is in input position and
the password protection is open.

16

Attention!

The ring-spinning machine can now be put into operation in MAINTENANCE or AUTOMATIC operating
modes.
Make a note of all the data entered at a cold start.
The machine card (sample on last page of this
Instruction manual) must be kept constantly up-todate on every ring-spinning machine and for every
yarn.
The current machine card is kept in the pocket of
the electrics cubicle on each ring-spinning machine.
