Setup of control unit


The block diagram of the POLAR EMC MONITOR illustrates the structural setup of the control system.
The 16-bit CP 1 (Central Processor) computer board is the heart of the control system. All the other
plug-in cards in the electrical installation facility beneath the machine front table are linked via two
independent bus systems with the CP 1.
The exchange of data with the keyboard computer (KC) on the control panel is performed via serial
interface.

This modification of program versions V 5.0 and V 5.1 cause the following changes to the previously
used control boards.
1.1 The PI board, id. no. 024080, is no longer equipped with a slot for interchangeable memories, because
the program memories are now integrated into the CP 1 computer board. All the other functions on the
PI board remain unchanged. For service purposes, the former PI boards can be used, too.
1.2 Keyboard controller KC, id. no. 023830 is a new development. Apart from the well known features of
these boards a new slot for the PMS card has been installed.
The additional red colored LED
V22 which is designated R / W (Read / Write) indicates the reading and writing functions of the PMS
card. The mechanics of the KC has also been changed. - see BTM 1.3 The BTM control unit, id. no. 023810 (EMC), 024360 (EM), has also been modified and can therefore
no longer be used on machines with the older program versions. The complete keypad has been
displaced about 10 mm downward in order to have enough space for 10 additional function keys, which
are not used at the moment, however.
Please note! The BT DNF has also been mechanically changed.
2. The PMS - Card, POLAR Memory System, id. no. 228243, is a check-card size memory card offered
as an optional unit. This PMS card is a 3-V lithium battery-backed RAM which has a capacity of 99
programs. This memory serves to transfer programs from machine to machine, from computer to
machine or simply to store cutting programs.
It is no main memory comparable to our RSP interchangeable memory.

Excerpt from IP 2 / 97
Reduction of program versions for EM / EMC Monitor machines
The CP 1 boards listed below, which are meant for machines without PMS card, replace the boards with
software versions V 1.1 to V 3.1.S, inclusive. The reduction of variants achieved in this way makes stock
keeping easier and organization clearer. For any conversion, please observe the compatibility of the Video
card you use in connection with the corresponding program status of the CP1.
If the machine still contains a European standard size video p. c. board, remember to remove the guide tie
in the CU before installing the new video board (double European standard size). Please return any defective
or replaced boards to our spare parts department.

Power supply
Power Module (PM)
The Power Module accommodates the power supply components for the machine control system and
includes the main distribution board (PMD), fuse board ( PMF ), control transformer and rectifier component
( PMR ). The three-phase lines from the main and (automatic) star-delta switch are protected by three
fuses of 10 amps, each, in the main distributor. Behind these fuses, the backgauge drive motor, blower
motor, fluorescent lamp for table illumination, and the control transformer are connected.
The transformer is switched on via relay K. 304 on the main distributor. The relay is controlled by the green
Control voltage ON button on the right top of the front panel when the (automatic) star-delta switch is
changed over to the delta position. When the machine is switched off by pressing the button - 292 0
relay K 304 drops out and turns the transformer off.
( see circuit diagram 115 EMC 3102 a/c circuit 2 - 24 as well as 45 - 49 )
Adaptation of the control voltage to varying mains voltages can be carried out on the main distributor.
The primary circuit of the transformer can be operated with voltages of 180V to 260V which are supplied
either between two phases (220-V position ) or between a phase and the neutral (380-V position).

Control voltages

In order to operate the control system the Power Supply (PS) board generates stabilized d.c. voltages
of + 5 V, + 12 V and + 24 Volt, resp.
The Keyboard Computer ( KC ) and control unit ( BTM ) module is supplied with a voltage of + 9V from
the Power Module ( PM ).
The solenoid valves and lifting magnets in the machine are energized through an unstabilized d.c.
voltage of + 42 Volts ( except Y27 and Y33 ).
At the measuring socket on the bottom edge of the SK board you can measure the stabilized voltage of
+42Vd.c
In unloaded condition the value is approx. 55 V d. c.
(consequently, no magnet is energized)

Description of plug-in boards


Power Supply ( PS )
The Power Supply board (PS) provides three stabilized voltages:
+5 volts
+12 volts
+ 24 volts

Tolerance:
Tolerance:
Tolerance:

5.08 -5.12 volts


11.4 -12.6 volts
23.7 -24.3 volts

Each voltage is assigned a green light-emitting diode and a measuring socket on the front of the board.
These voltages are not adjustable.
In order to ensure a defined start of the control system after the control voltage has been connected the
board generates a reset signal, which can be controlled by the red light-emitting diode V3.
The LED is usually off during operation. It only lights briefly when the control voltage is turned on and
off.

Central Processor ( CP 1 )
The 16-bit computer board determines all the machine cycles and operating features through the
EPROM-stored processor program The remaining plug-in cards are connected to the computer by
means of two separate bus systems. The front side is equipped with four connectors for serial
interfaces, where the keyboard computer, the printer and the peripheral units can be connected.
Battery-buffered RAM components serve to store the variable machine data (e. g. brake
afterrun, most recent program and step numbers, cut counter, etc.). The relevant lithium-type
3.5-V battery is accommodated on the board. The battery voltage must not drop below 3 V.
When the pushbutton on the front side of the board is pressed, a computer reset is triggered which is
similar to turning on the control voltage again. While the machine is in operation the LED in this button
is lit and indicates that the microprocessor on the board is working. On those boards which are
delivered as spare parts the lithium battery is taken off to prevent any unnecessary discharge.
As of program version V 5.0 ( see page 07 ) the program memories A and B are integrated into
the CP 1 board! It has a capacity of 99 programs with 1528 memory locations per memory.

Positioning Interface ( PI )
The Positioning Interface board includes all the assembly groups which are required for the backgauge
movement:
- counter chain for forward and backward pulses of the linear measuring system
- preselector for setting the reference position
- inputs of the single-hand control switches (S10, S14, S18)
- inputs of the table limit switches
- outputs of the table motor and brake lifting solenoid controls
- slots for the RSP memories ( only on V 1.0 to V 4.4 )
The S 7 selection switch serves to preset the preferred language and measuring unit to be used after
the machine is turned on, for instance when the battery has been replaced and the data on the CP1
board has been lost. The counter monitor can be connected to the three plugs A, B, C located on the PI
board.
The PI boards as of id. no. 020141 are no longer furnished with these 3 plugs, because the counter
chain is integrated in a special module (Gate Array). The V16 and V17 light-emitting diodes have also

Linear measuring system (LMS)


While the backgauge is moved the reading head of the linear measuring scale delivers 0 and 90-degree
pulses which are then quadruplicated by the PI board. Depending on the direction in which the backgauge
moves, these pulses are counted up (return) or down (advance), respectively, in the counter chain. By
quadruplicating the pulses a measuring accuracy of one counting pulse in 0.01 mm of backgauge travel is
obtained. Every time the reference point
is overrun (approx. at the center of the
scale) a pulse loads the value set by
selector switches S1..S6 into the
counting chain
(reference measurement). A basic
condition for perfect counting pulses is
a proper calibration of the measuring
sledge with regard to glass ruler, i. e.
the scanning grating in the measuring
slide must be parallel to the counting
bar on the glass ruler.
These counting bars are not visible with
the naked eye, because they are 0.02
mm wide. The distance between two
counting bars is also 0.02 mm. You can
merely perceive the bars as gray
colored stripes, about 8 mm high, on
the glass ruler. The mechanical
adjustment of the measuring slide and
the electrical setting of the counting
signals are carried out in the factory
using special instruments when the
linear measuring scales are produced.
The mechanical setting of the reading
head in the measuring system at the
customers can be made with the
adjusting set, id. no. 020364.
This adjusting set allows to check if the
reading head delivers counting pulses or
if it really detects the reference point. You
can also measure if the setting pulse for
the counter chain is located in the center
of the reference signal. This is indicated
by the bar graph on the adjusting
instrument. You can readjust the pulse
by means of the adjusting screw at the
measuring slide, which will also readjust
the parallel position of grid plate and glass
ruler. The reference testing instrument
id. no. 023798 is available for verifying
the deviations (also temporary deviations) upon backgauge positioning, as well as for inspecting the ruler
cable.

Interchangeable memory
The interchangeable memory is a p.c. board fully-enclosed in a plastic housing which contains two batterybacked RAM components (memories). The memory capacity of 1,664 records can be distributed to 99
programs. Depending on the location on the PI board the memory indicates either A or B on the screen as
an identification. At the factory the battery is designed for an operation of a min. 5 years. The 3.5-V lithium
battery is accessible after both housing covers have been opened. It can be replaced with the control
voltage switched on.

Battery voltage should not fall below 3 V, because program data may be lost otherwise.

Motor Control Unit ( MCM unit )


The change-pole three-phase current backgauge motor is switched by three contactors
located on the MCM unit:
K 11 M active = high number of revolutions
K 12 M active = advance direction of rotation
K 15 M active = reverse direction of rotation
During the backgauge movement the brake
lifting solenoid of the backgauge motor is
energized. In order to ensure a fast lifting of the
brake the 24-V d. c. coil of the brake lifting
solenoid is briefly supplied with a voltage of
approx. 50 V from a capacitor (C 1).
The control signals for the contactors and the
brake lifting solenoid are generated on the
Positioning Interface board and supplied to the
MCM unit via a flat-belt cable.
Backgauge motor and blower motor are
protected against overload and short circuit by
one overload switch, each.

Cutting circuit (SK)


The fail-safe sequence of a cutting cycle is ensured by the cutting circuit board. During the clamping and
cutting processes, the hardware logic of this board and the software contained in the Central Processor
generate instructions controlling the activation of the hydraulic valves and the safety bolt. The air supply of
the machine table is controlled with the help of one relay, each, for the solenoid valves of the front and rear
table air supply. The light barrier ( identical infrarred light barrier as on the EMC II machines ) only interferes
with the cutting circuit. The light barrier amplifier receives the test signal ( LST ) from board SK and
supplies the enabling signals LS and LS.
For testing purposes the LS Simulator test plug, id. no. 019548 can be used instead of the light
barrier.
For servicing the control system can be operated without cutting circuit board. In this case, the features
clamping, cut, mechanical cutting-line indicator and connect air supply are not available. After switching
on, the message enable cut buttons is displayed on the screen. Both the manual and automatic control
of the backgauge drive (and the operating function via keyboard) are possible.
At the socket on the bottom edge of the board you can measure the unstabilized voltage of +42V
d.c. If no solenoid is energized the measuring value is approx. 55 V d. c.
In order to monitor the control conditions the cutting circuit board is equipped with LEDs on its
front side:

Cutting circuit with two-channel hydraulic system


For machine models 92,115,137,155, 176 EM / EMC Monitor
which are sold in Germany and England.
The following components are new (Feb. 1990)
Electrical System
1. control transformer BV 6328 id no. 228755
2. 4 proximity switches 0.8 mm.
3. MHY control p. c. board with housing.
4. Adapters of plugs CU 2, 6, 9, 15 on plug 431.
5. 2 connecting cables with plugs for solenoid valves Y 27a and Y 33a.
Mechanical system
1. Hydr. control unit with 2 additional recirculating ball solenoid valves Y 27a and Y 33a
2. 4 cam disks.
3. 1 holding sheet metal for the proximity switches.
The 4 cam plates are numbered from 1 4 and connected by pins. They can be adjusted a max. 20
mm, as before, for setting the top dead center. The proximity switches are also numbered from 1 4
and mounted at a distance of 0.6 0.8 mm from the cam plate.
Knife upstroke control
The MHY control p. c. board which is mounted in a housing on the rear of the machine frame is
furnished with a voltage stabilization of its own: for 24-V d. c. voltages for the proximity switches and 5
V d. c. for the electronic components as well as relays K1 and K2.
The 24-V a. c. supply voltage for the MHY control board is supplied by the control transformer via
plugs X1, 14, 15. It is protected with 1 amp by a circuit fuse. The individual signals of the four proximity
switches are evaluated in two electronic modules. Via 2 transistors the K1 and K2 relays for the knife
upstroke control are activated.
Control of the two-channel hydraulic system
Parallel to the solenoid valves Y27 and Y33 ( adapter plug no. 6 ) two relays K3 and K4 are also
activated. By means of their normally open contacts the solenoid valves Y 27a and Y 33a are energized
with a separate voltage supply of 42V d. c. CU 2.14 and 15.
The relays K3 and K4 for controlling the additional solenoid valves Y 27a and Y 33a are positively driven
and self-monitoring.
The NC contact of relay K3 is looped into the circuit of the safety bolt resting position B.SB E ( plug CU
9.8 ). The NC contact of relay K4 is looped into the circuit of cut button S 28a NC contacts (plug CU
15.8).
In case of a self monitoring error the following error messages are displayed:

LIGHT BARRIER ( LS )
The light barrier works with invisible infrared light of a wavelength of 960 nm and consists of the following
parts: transmitters, receivers and the light barrier p.c. board (LS). The light barrier p.c. board is accommodated
in the left-hand light barrier housing, where the receivers are also located, while the transmitters are in the
right-hand light-barrier housing. For the voltage supply the LS board has a +12-V d.c. stabilization which
is operated at +24 Vd.c.
The transmitting diodes generate light pulses at a cycle of approx. 1,000 Hz. Three transmitting diodes,
each, are connected in series, with the transmitting diodes 1, 3 and 5 on one hand and 2, 4 and 6 on the
other hand are working in antiphase. The current running through the transmitting diodes can be checked
with the help of 2 red- colored LEDs (V13 fir transmitters 1, 3, 5 and V15 for transmitters 2, 4, 6) on the LS
board. The voltage drop to be measured for each transmitting diode is approx. 1 V d.c. Any error occurring
at the oscillator output which is in phase opposition will be indicated by the LED V1 lighting up. On the
receiver side the incoming light pulses are converted into electric signals by photo pin diodes and then
digitized by downstream amplifiers. The decoding circuitry has a double setup and works in parallel.
The connection compares receiver signals with regard to their frequency and phase positions with the
corresponding transmitter signals and generates an output level in case of conformity. The two output
levels are inversed so that short circuits in the outputs can be detected. The output levels are indicated by
2 light emitting diodes visible from outside (V10 red and V8 green). In order to localize any channel that
has been broken down the LS board is equipped with light-emitting diodes (V2 V7) which are glowing
slightly with normal operation, but are brightly illuminated when a channel fails.
The light barrier housings are adjusted at the factory which ensures that a reproducible installation is
ensured during assembly. However, should it be necessary to readjust one of the rays, the p.c. boards of
the transmitting and receiving diodes can be shifted to adjust the focus precisely, after the fastening
screws have been loosened. In the proper position the a.c. voltage at the receiver diode reaches a maximum
value.
The minimum value is 150 mV a.c., measured at the individual receiver diodes.
The correct adjustment of the light barrier can be checked with the service jumper inserted on board LS,
either by measuring the voltage at each of the receivers or by triggering various cuts.
Before each clamping process or knife movement the Central Processor (CP1) initiates a light-barrier test
where the transmitting diodes are briefly switched off. Within 40 ms the light barrier must respond with the
condition interrupted. Otherwise, the light barrier test is considered as not successful and the relevant
error is shown on the display.
Caution!

The red LED V10 is part of the safety circuit of the light barrier.
In case of a defect of the LED the green LED V8 will also go out,
which causes the cutting and clamping functions to be locked.

The two LEDs V17 and V18 are off when the light barrier is working perfectly.
They monitor the two output levels of the light barrier to the SK board.
If these levels are not inversed the LEDs will light up.
In this case, both clamping and cutting functions are locked.

Video Controller (VID)


The Video Controller (VID) plug-in board generates the signals for the horizontal and vertical synchronization
required to activate the monitor, and the video signal for the screen content. These pieces of information for
the monochrome monitor are combined to a composite video signal on the board and supplied to the
monitor through a 75-ohm coaxial cable. The two BNC plugs on the front side of the board can be used
alternatively.
For the color monitor the Video Controller board supplies a video signal in the form of an RGB signal which
is supplied at the 9-pin socket on the on the front side of the board. A cable and the relevant plugs connect
it to the monitor. A color monitor can only be operated if the necessary Video Controller plug-in board is
available (see section 1.1).
During machine operation the Video Controller receives the necessary information about the screen content
from the Central Processor (CP 1). When the control voltage is switched on the Video Controller generates
a test pattern which consists of horizontal and vertical lines and is displayed when the Central Processor
(CP 1) does not supply any information (for example: CP 1 not plugged in).
The test pattern is required for setting the monitor. On Video Controller boards equipped with the red
colored LED V5 the diode must light when the control voltage is ON. When it goes out, the Video Controller
must have suffered a defect which locks the Central Processor and therefore all the functions.

Monitor ( CRT )
All the monitors used with Polar machines are operated at a service voltage of 220 V, 50 - 60 Hz. The
voltage supply is ensured by the Power Module and taken from the primary circuit of the control transformer.
A troublefree function of the monitors is only ensured with the proper voltage supply. Therefore, make sure
to adjust the machine to the available mains voltage during the machine assembly. An insufficient voltage
may result in fluctuating images. The adjustment is made by re-plugging the jumper (200 260 V) on the
fuse board in the Power Module.
In the case of a failure or defect, the monitor should be dismantled from the housing and replaced. You
should not perform a correction of the setting, because some of the components remain at high potential.
Furthermore, a modified setting may result in an inadmissible release of X-radiation.
The monitors are hung up and connected to the housing by means of vibration absorbers.
The rear of the housing has a turning knob for adjusting the brightness.
Keyboard Computer ( KC ) and control unit ( BTM )
The Keyboard Computer (KC) monitors all the keys of the control unit ( BTM ) and the switches for
distortion, label correction and retarding of the cutting cycle. Any actuation of the controls is reported
serially to the Central Processor. The internal supply voltage of +5.10 V is generated from the supplied
voltage of +9V and can be checked with the green LED and two measuring sockets.
With the potentiometer located beneath the measuring sockets the value of +5.1V can be
readjusted, if necessary.

During operation the red V19 LED computer activated is flashing every second.
The keyboard computer has a self-testing routine for trouble shooting.
(see Service Information)
The KC and BTM assemblies are not required for carrying out the basic functions of the machine.
For service purposes the control system can be run without this assembly.

Timer board (CLK)


The CLK (Clock) board contains a timer module. When the control voltage is turned off this module is
supplied from a 2.4-V lithium battery.
The CLK board is connected to the CP1 board through the P bus. It is required as a time base for
generating the production report. The TP1 test point is only required to calibrate the clock frequency for
the timer module. On those boards which are delivered as spare parts, the lithium battery is taken off to
prevent any unnecessary discharge. The CLK board is not essential for the functioning of the machine
control system.
For service purposes the control system can be operated without this board and consequently, without
the time. In this case, the production report feature is not possible.
On cutting machines equipped with the optimized high-speed backgauge the Servo board is
plugged in instead of the CLK board. The Servo board includes the timer module and carries
out the functions of the CLK board.

PMS CARD
The PMS - Card, POLAR Memory System, id. no. 228243, is a check-card size memory card offered as
an optional unit. This PMS card is a 3-V lithium battery-backed RAM which has a capacity of 99 programs.
This memory serves as a data medium for cutting programs from machine to machine, from Compucut to
machine or simply for saving and storing recurrent cutting programs. The PMS Card is no main memory
comparable with our RSP interchangeable memory.

Mon gb 01 04.04.2005

All the actions for the new knife change are carried out from th front
side. Both the knife bar and con-rod adjustments are made in the
factory and must not be changed. The knife has to be installed and
removed precisely according to the enclosed operating instructions.
When adjusting the knife, draw it slightly nearer with the screws,
then tighten the knife support screws (left side first).
The knife must not tilt upward (see sketch).

If the knife does not cut the material perfectly after some cuts have been made, it may be adjusted
deeper at the knife adjusting cam by means of a knife wrench. Before doing so, push the cam lock
upward (see sketch). The knife adjusting cam has 9 catch positions and must be reset to 0 with every
knife change (turn counterclockwise).
When the cam lock is pushed upward no cut can be performed.

SERVICE INFORMATION
Since the I / O bus boards are switched in parallel (see block diagram, page 3) a defective board may
affect machine functions which are controlled by another board. By removing the boards one by one the
defective board can be localized.
1.

All machine functions except for the monitor display are possible without the Video (VID) plug-in
board.

2.

The functions of backgauge movement, display and control panel are possible without the cutting
circuit (SK) board plugged in. The message enable cut buttons is displayed on the screen.

3.

All the machine function except for the operating elements on the control panel are possible
without the assembly of Keyboard Computer (KC) and control unit (BTM).

4.

Self-test of the Keyboard Computer ( KC ) and control unit ( BTM ) assembly:


With the machine switched off, remove the plug-in connection of the X 500 serial interface from
the KC board. (see drawing on page 26)
Make a short-circuit bridge by plugging the test connector onto X 500.
The test plug is on the right side of plug X 500.
Switch the machine on.
Activate self-test by pressing the key S1 on the KC board.
The red LED Test okay V20 is lit when the self test of the Keyboard Computer has been
performed without errors.
When one of the keys is actuated or released or when the rotary switch is adjusted on board
BTM you hear an acoustic signal.
While a key is being actuated the LED V20 Test okay is out.
Turn the machine off and re-establish the X 500 connection.
Put test plug back to the position of rest.
The test plug does not affect the machine control system.

5.

When the machine is switched off with the backgauge brake electrically activated or the last
backgauge position stored no longer available, for instance because the battery on the CP1 board
has been replaced, the machine has to be moved to reference position after it has been switched
on.
Once the control voltage has been connected the monitor displays the prompt = go to reference
position = actuate hand wheel.

When searching the reference position the control system determines the following
parameters:
End of table

(Distance between cutting line and rake when the rear table limit switch is
reached).

Slow down travel

(Distance between the switchover point from the high to the low backgauge
motor speed on one hand and reaching the low speed on the other hand).
The computer multiplies this distance by the factor of 1.5 in order to
compensate for fluctuations.

Brake afterrun

(Distance between the shut-off point of the brake lifting solenoid and the
backgauge at standstill).

Caution!

If the backgauge movement has been modified,- for instance by


- replacement or readjustment of the brake lifting solenoid
- replacement of the backgauge motor
- modification of the reference position
- replacement or readjustment of the spindle nuts
- readjustment of sledge guide
- change of position of the rear table limit switch
- replacement of the CP1 board,

the control system has to determine these parameters again while the machine is switched off with
the brake electrically activated. When the machine is turned on for searching the reference position,
activate the advance or return stroke.
6.

The front and rear limit stops of the backgauge movement is exclusively determined by the positions
of the table limit switches (hardware shutoff).
Adjust the limit switch in such a way that the smallest attainable cut size of the 92, 115 and 137
machines is 25 mm and on the 155 and 176 machines 35 mm.
The remaining limit switches must be set to ensure that the backgauge motor is switched off at
least 10 mm before the mechanical stop at the false clamp plate or at the end of the table is
reached.

7.

When the Service function has been selected from the Survey of functions, enter the code
number 8520 and confirm with the actual position key.

8.

The functioning of the VID board and the screen can be verified by turning on the control voltage
without the CP1 board installed in the machine. The screen shows a test pattern which consists
of horizontal and vertical lines. This test pattern can be used for setting the image orientation,
height, width and linearity. The controllers for adjusting these parameters are located on the p.c.
board inside the screen housing. Please learn the positions of the controls from an adhesive label
on the tube bulb.

9.

In order to retain the data when the control system is switched off the interchangeable memory
and the CP 1 board are provided with (3.5 V) batteries. These batteries should be replaced every
five years or when the battery voltage falls below 3 Volts.
The battery of the interchangeable memory should be changed with the memory
plugged in and the control voltage switched on, because the stored program data will
otherwise be lost. It is also possible to copy the program data into another memory before
replacing the battery.
The CLK board also carries a battery (2.4 V) which supplies the timer module when the
machine is switched off.

Secondary operation
The secondary operation makes the manual backgauge movement as well as the clamping and cutting
functions possible. The monitor continues to display all the data except for the actual position. Via the
keys on the control unit the individual menus can be selected (also the Service function).
There are two ways to get to the secondary operation
1.

When searching the reference position and no reference point is detected because of a defective
measuring system, a defective connecting cable for the measuring system or a defective PI plugin board, the system will automatically switch to secondary operation after the third attempt.
The program data image is shown, and instead of the actual position the text secondary
operation is displayed.

2.

If the Program Data button is pressed before or after searching the reference position, the
system switches instantly over to secondary operation.

Please note!
When the optional equipment optimized high-speed backgauge is available the
backgauge movement may be locked when the measuring system has suffered a failure. In this case,
no search of the reference position is possible. In this case, press the program data key to start the
secondary operation.
