Overview
There are nine machine settings which are entered into the HMI of the WF-30s in the factory and are not accessible by the customer. There are also toggle switches related to machine management and tape management.
1) ‘Parameters’ Screen
| The factory settings are accessed from the ‘Parameters’ screen. To get to the ‘Parameters’ screen, touch the ‘SETUP’ button in the lower right-hand corner of the ‘Main Control’ screen. In the lower right-hand corner of the ‘Setup’ screen is the ‘PARAMETERS’ button. Touching the ‘PARAMETERS’ button prompts the operator for a password. Touch the blank field in the ‘Password’ window to bring up an ‘Alphanumeric Keypad’ window. Type the required password of 9300. To enter the password into the ‘Password’ window, touch the ‘ENTER’ key. Then touch the ‘OK’ button in the ‘Password’ window to bring up the ‘Parameters’ screen. If you enter an invalid password, an error message will be displayed. Touch ‘OK’ to remove the error message and input a valid password. |  |
| On the ‘Parameters’ screen, there is a hidden button which, if touched, will allow access to the ‘Wexxar Factory Setup’ screen. This button is shown as the model ID (WF30T in this instance) in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Touching this button prompts the operator for a password. Touch the blank field in the ‘Password’ window to bring up an ‘Alphanumeric Keypad’ window. Type the required password of 604. To enter the password into the ‘Password’ window, touch the ‘ENTER’ key. Then touch the ‘OK’ button in the ‘Password’ window to bring up the ‘Wexxar Factory Setup’ screen. If you enter an invalid password, an error message will display. Touch ‘OK’ to remove the error message and input a valid password. |  |
2) ‘Wexxar Factory Setup' Screen
The ‘Wexxar Factory Setup’ screen provides access to two screens for entering setpoints. The ‘Wexxar Factory Setup’ screen also features two toggle switches related to the machine setup. ATTENTION: The adjustment of the setpoints should be undertaken only by qualified personnel and with careful consideration of the machine requirements. Incorrect adjustment of the setpoints can damage the machine components or seriously affect the machine’s performance. |  |
3) ‘PLC Setpoints Case Forming Section’ Button
To adjust the setpoints for the machine’s forming section, touch the ‘PLC SETPOINTS CASE FORMING SECTION’ button. This action brings up the ‘Factory Setup Setpoints – Case Forming Section’ screen.  |  |
4) ‘Factory Setup Setpoints - Case Forming Section’ Screen
| When one of the blue display numbers on any of the four buttons and displays on the ‘Factory Setup Setpoints – Case Forming Section’ screen is touched, a ‘TENKEY’ keypad window will appear. In this keypad, are fields for the minimum and maximum values for that particular setpoint. To change the minimum or maximum value, touch the field. The value will become 0. Then use the keypad in the display to enter a new value. Use the ‘BS’ (BACKSPACE), ‘CLR’ (CLEAR), or ‘CANCEL’ buttons as necessary. Touch the ‘ENTER’ button to enter the new value into the PLC. |  |
5) ‘Jaws Open Default Target Position’ Button and Display
| This setpoint adjustment allows factory personnel to alter the default target value for the jaws-open target position. The allowable range for this value is between 100mm and 105mm. |  |
6) ‘Jaws Close Default Target Position’ Button and Display
| This setpoint adjustment allows factory personnel to alter the default target value for the jaws-close target position. The allowable range for this value is between 0.0mm and 5.0mm. |  |
7) ‘(E) Dimension Offset’ Button and Display
| This setpoint allows factory personnel to make minor adjustments to the E Dimension bottom location without requiring mechanical changes. This setting will apply to all cases, regardless of case dimensions. The allowable range for this value is between +1.0 and -1.0 inches. |  |
8) ‘Injector Up Pause Time’ Button and Display
| This setpoint allows factory personnel to program a delay or pause at the top of the stroke to ensure that the corrugate is properly impaled onto the pins. The allowable range for this value is between 0.0ms and 1,000ms. The typical value for this setting is 45ms. |  |
9) ‘PLC Setpoints Pusher Section’ Button
To adjust the setpoints for the machine’s discharge pusher, touch the ‘PLC SETPOINTS PUSHER SECTION’ button. This action brings up the ‘Factory Setup Setpoints – Pusher Section’ screen. |  |
10) ‘Factory Setup Setpoints - Pusher Section’ Screen
When one of the blue display numbers on any of the four buttons and displays on the ‘Factory Setup Setpoints – Pusher Section’ screen is touched, a ‘TENKEY’ keypad window will appear. This keypad contains fields for the minimum and maximum values for that particular setpoint. To change the minimum or maximum value, touch the field. The value will become 0. Then use the keypad in the display to enter a new value. Use the ‘BS’ (BACKSPACE), ‘CLR’ (CLEAR), or ‘CANCEL’ buttons as necessary. Touch the ‘ENTER’ button to enter the new value into the PLC. |  |
11) ‘Pusher Back Majors Reset Delay’ Button and Display
| This setpoint adjustment allows factory personnel to delay the resetting of the major flap folders in, for example, the forming of very long cases. The delay setting would prevent the resetting major flap folders from grabbing the bottom of the case as it is going by. The range for this value is 0 – 1,000ms. The typical setting is 300ms. |  |
12) ‘Pusher Forward Pause Time’ Button and Display
| This setpoint adjustment allows factory personnel to delay the return of the pusher from its extended position. Such a delay is beneficial in case squaring. The range for this value is 0 – 1,000ms. The typical setting is 0ms. |  |
13) ‘PLC Setpoints Specific to WF-30H Only’ Button
The functionality of the 30H PLC Setpoints button is inactive in the WF-30T Wexxar Factory Setup program. |  |
14) ‘Machine Mgmt’ Toggle Switch
This machine management toggle switch allows factory personnel to switch the beacon, tape management and low magazine signals on and off. |  |
15) ‘Tape Mgmt’ Toggle Switch
This toggle switch allows factory personnel to enable or disable the tape management sensors without disabling the beacon or low/empty magazine sensors. This is useful for troubleshooting machine operation without tape application. |  |
