Safety Information
Pursuant to law decree 626/94 the owner of a company must inform the
workers on the risks associated with the use of the machinery and equipment.
Moreover, appropriate information and training must be provided to all
employees to enable them to protect themselves and others against
accidents.
A proper and prudent behaviour on the part of all employees is the first
defence against accidents: the laws, standards and provisions contained in
this document and even technical prevention measures will have little effect
without this awareness.
To behave in the appropriate manner is a key factor not only for ones own
protection, but also for that of ones colleagues; similarly, the safety of
everyone depends on the behaviour of others: hence, hazardous jokes should
be avoided and so should any action that might distract, or harm, ones
fellow workers.
Another crucial factor in accident prevention is attentiveness: being able to
keep alert and retain control of our actions can ensure our own safety and
that of the people around us.
Correct behaviour and due diligence may not suffice to protect us against
accidents; many hazard conditions, in fact, can be unpredictable and
accidents may take place without any warning signs. For these reasons, we
should comply with a series of rules and standards developed from the
experience and knowledge accumulated by everyone.
Users should comply very carefully to the following provisions.
1. Read the user manual before using the machine and follow the
instructions imparted by the supervisors.
2. The machine should be used solely by specially trained personnel.
3. The machine and the relative workstation must be placed in a well
illuminated area.
4. Do not encumber the working spaces around the machine.
5. The use and adjustment of the machine can be performed only by the
operator in charge: access to the machine by unauthorised personnel is
strictly prohibited.
6. Do not remove the safety guards without express permission and inform
the supervisors of any malfunctioning of the safety and protection
mechanisms, as well as any hazard condition you may become aware
of.
7. Do not connect the machine electrically or pneumatically by means of
flying cables and/or pipes, which might hinder the regular movement of
people and things.

TEL. (0173) 314111
8. Check daily the efficiency of the safety devices and controls. It is forbidden
to remove, modify or tamper with the control units of the machine and
their protections against accidental starting.
9. Keep the working area free from foreign objects: the work station must
be clean and orderly. The floor must not be encumbered with materials
extraneous to the job in hand or processing scraps. Prevent the accidental
spilling of greasy or oily substances: if this were to happen, clean the
floor at once.
10. Use personal protection equipment and appropriate work clothes.
11. Entrust maintenance works to specially trained personnel. Tools must
be used solely for the purposes they are intended for in the most
appropriate manner.
12. It is forbidden to clean, oil or grease any machine part by hand, unless
this is required by specific technical needs: in the latter case, use
appropriate tools to prevent all conceivable hazards.
13. The drawing-in process must always be performed after deactivating
the system by means of the key-operated switch located on the console
and after removing the key, so as to prevent the risk of accidental starting.
14. After any maintenance intervention on the machine parts, return them to
their original position.
15. If the supply of compressed air is cut off while the machine is running,
and unless this is done automatically, close the air cut-off valve or discon
16. Before performing any operation on parts that may start moving abruptly,
stop the machine and discharge the residual pressure from the pneumatic
system, if this has not been done automatically by the ad hoc valve.
17. The use of compressed air to clean the equipment, parts of the machine,
finished products, etc. must be limited to the cases envisaged by the
production cycle, making use of the means of protection provided to
prevent accidents. It is strictly forbidden to use compressed air to clean
people and clothes.

Residual Risks
Pursuant to machine directive 98/37/CE, residual risks are listed below.

risk of improper use in the presence of flammable or explosive
substances. It should be noted that the machine is NOT in class AD
according to CEI standard 64/2. Accordingly, it is prohibited to process
fabric soaked in flammable substances.
Machine handling is envisaged only at the time of installation: hence,

moving the machine might entail risks of falling and/or toppling. We
recommend lifting the machine to the minimum height permitted by the
dimensions of the premises and moving the machine at the slowest speed
permitted by the means of transport.
It is also recommend to comply with the following instructions before

moving the machine:
keep the surrounding area unobstructed
make sure there are no objects or loose tools on the machine
make sure that the means of transport is appropriate
connecting the machine is a key safety condition against accidental tilting
to draw the fabric in the uppermost parts of the system, which cannot be
reached from floor level, use ladders or other devices ensuring conditions
of absolute safety. In particular, it is forbidden to climb on the machine
structure of parts thereof.
WARNING!!
BIANCO S.P.A. DOES NOT KNOW THE DETAILS OF THE FINAL

INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE.
It is up to the final user to provide, as a function of the way the machine is

2.2. Weft strainghtener operation
The weft straightener automatically eliminates any distortions in the fabric

weft as may be caused by the different manufacturing processes after
weaving.
Then the fabric passes alternatively between curved and diagonal rollers
and between the optic reading heads, as described in figure 5.
When the mobile frame (3) carrying the rollers (2) begins to oscillate, half
the fabric is pulled from the centre towards the corresponding edge; as
half the fabric is pulled towards the edge the other half relaxes thereby
enabling diagonal distortions to be corrected.
The other set of rollers (1) has a curved axis which can be aimed so as to
present a more or less marked convexity towards the fabric wound around
it and thereby apply to the fabric a force which gradually increases from
the edges to the centre. This force enables curved distortions to be
corrected.
The reading heads (4) (5) detect weft distortions in the fabric leaving the
weft straightener and supply a signal to a control unit which interprets the
signal, processes it and transforms it into control pulses to the correction
roller motors.
Curved roller rotation is by means of a variable speed geared motor (8),

whose speed is controlled by the dynamo fitted to machine downstream
and by the compensation roller (7), so as control fabric feed as a function
of the requirements of the machine downstream.
Before passing through the correction rollers, the fabric is wound around
the spreading roller (11) which spreads it and eliminates any creases that
might be present. A similar operation is performed by means of the
spreading roller (12) located right before the reading bridge.

R
S.p.A.
3. UTILISATION CONDITIONS
When working with wet fabric, it is advisable to squeeze the fabric by

means of foulards before weft correction; at all events the liquid soaking
the fabric should never contain any toxic or noxious substances which
might harm the operator.
4. OPERATOR'S WORK STATION
The operator need not perform any operation during the entire process,
as the weft straightener works fully automatically.
At all events, the machine is fitted with fixed and removable guards to prevent
any accidental contact with moving parts.
15
R
S.p.A.
5. HANDLING
The unit is generally packaged and moved in a crate, without having to

take down its constituent parts, other than the brake assembly.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Before proceeding with machine transport, make sure it contains no
loose items: any parts which are not firmly fixed must be removed, to
prevent their accidental movements from changing the position of the
centre of gravity and undermine the stability of the component when it
is harnessedand lifted.
To unload the unit at the customers plant, we recommend lifting and

moving the unit by means of a fork lift truck.
Make sure that the length of the forks is appropriate to guarantee the
stability of the load and that truck capacity is sufficient. The fork lift truck
must be driven by a qualified operator and the handling process must be
supervised by another person to ensure that transport operations are
completed in full safety.
If any signs of unbalance are observed as you start lifting the unit, lower it
immediately and make sure that the centre of gravity has been identified
correctly.
Avoid collisions and swinging movements during the handling process.
Use low translation speeds.
The unit can be moved solely by means of appropriate lifting tools (cranes,
bridge cranes, hoists, etc.). When it has been removed from its packaging,
hook up the unit with ropes passing through its eyebolts, as shown in figure
3.
Check the conditions of the ropes, i.e. make sure there are undamaged
and conforming to the standards.

6. INSTALLATION AND START UP
Installation operations must be carried out by qualified personnel.
The following paragraphs describe the weft straightener and reading bridge
installation and start up procedures to be performed at the customer's
premises.
6.1 Assembly
Preliminary checks
Remove all packaging materials and make sure that the mechanical parts
are undamaged. Check voltage rating. Check for loose parts (e.g. damage
to the tachometric dynamo).
Alignment
The machine must be placed perfectly level and aligned with the following
unit (usually, the tenter frame). This condition is indispensable not to introdu-
ce fabric distortions which cannot be controlled. When assembling the
reading bridge structure, it is essential to comply with the head-fabric
distances specified (head focusing distance).
Anchorage
The machine must be anchored firmly. The anchoring procedure is described
in paragraph 6.2 below.
Vibrations
Make sure no harmful vibrations are transmitted to the machine as may be
produced by fitting devices that are not perfectly balanced or connecting
the machine to the adjacent units by means of fastening brackets. Vibration
may affect fabric readings and cause electrical system malfunctions.
Separate cubicle
In some versions (e.g. the reading bridge), the electrical equipment is se-
parate from the machine. Follow with care the wiring instructions, complying
with all the cable cross-section and max length provisions given in the wiring
diagram.
18
R
S.p.A.
Accessibility
To do their job, maintenance personnel must be able to open fully the
access doors to the machine sides and the electrical equipment. The
reading head covers must also be accessible. Projector covers must be
within easy reah for bulb replacement.
Heat sources
Do not place the electric cubicle (if separate from the machine) next to
direct heat sources or steam nozzles. Do not expose it to direct sunlight
through the windows.
Optic system cleaning

Make sure the optic system is clean. If necessary, clean carefully the reading
head and projector lenses. Use a soft cloth, free from grease, and possibly
a compressed air jet.
Speed line reference dynamo

Mod. MDC weft straightener (with pulling system) requires a voltage reference
proportional to the line speed. As a rule, a tachometric dynamo is supplied,
to be fitted to the first driven roller of the next machine. Make sure that the
transmission of motion does not take place from rollers over-powered or
under-powered compared to fabric feed speed in the straightener.
Dimension the coupling pulleys so that max line speed shall correspond to
a speed of rotation of the dynamo of 1000/1500 rpm (corresponding to 60/
90 volt in dynamos with 0.06 volt/rpm) to take full advantage of the signal
supplied and minimise disturbances.
Make the coupling with accuracy, so as to prevent irregular movements or
jolts from occurring even at low speed. To ensure trouble-free operation,
the motion of the dynamo must be steady. Jolting of the dandy roll during
machine operation may depend on the regularity of the signal supplied by
the dynamo.
Electrical connections
The electrical connections are on the left side of the machine (in the
direction of fabric feed).
Power the machine via a three-pole + ground electric cable with cross-
section as specified in the wiring diagram.
Collect the tachometric dynamo (only for the MDC model) by means of a
shielded cable of the required cross-section as specified in the wiring
diagram.
Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the machine for details.
19
R
S.p.A.
Exchange of enable signals and other signals

The weft straightener has been designed so that it can be used in a line
including other machines and governed by a higher level control unit. To
this end, the following contacts are provided for the exchange of enable
signals and other signals to external units (see the electrical wiring diagrams):
Machine starting is timed and about 10 seconds elapse between the start
command and the closing of the ready contact; it is indispensable to set
the machine immediately after the weft straightener (generally the tenter)
so that it will start upon the actual closing of the contact.
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram supplied with the machine.
20
R
S.p.A.
6.2 Anchoring the machine
The floor supporting the machine must be prepared as described in figure

4:
prepare four anchoring screws, as described in the detailed view, and

place them in the recesses,
position the machine with care, making sure that the anchoring screws
enter into the corresponding holes in the supporting plates,
level the machine by means of the special adjustment screws shown in
the detailed view and fasten the supporting plates with four M16 nuts.
Do not use electric welders to fasten brackets or other parts, as this might
damage the electronic circuits.

6.3.1 Preliminary checks
Open the sides of the machine and check the position of the electric
wires; make sure that all components are well tightened. Open the Digitex
computer cover panel and make sure that all connectors are properly
inserted, the components are fixed and the removable boards are present.
6.3.2 Power up
Turn on the general power supply switch in the machine control panel and
make sure that the power supply voltage is within the +/-10% tolerance
limits.
Make sure that the "power on" and "motor block" telltales located on the
control panel light up.
Set the key-operated selector on 1.
Press the start button.
After about 10 seconds make sure the VDTEX computer or the OP16
terminal are on.
Make sure that the "motor block" telltale has gone out.
Press the diagonals and curves manual control buttons and verify the
movement of the relative correction rollers.
It is not necessary to check the direction of rotation of the diagonal and

curve rollers, since it is controlled electronically.
Start the spreading rollers and check their direction of rotation; if necessary,
invert the power supply phases.
For the installation of the Digitex weft monitoring system, follow the indications
given in the attached document: Digitex Installation: List of installation
steps.

S.p.A.
6.3.3 Drawing-in
The fabric to be processed must go through the correction rollers and the
reading bridge as shown in figure 5 (the drawing-in diagram is also shown
on the internal side of the machine).
Drawing-in should always be performed with the machine stationary, after
setting the key-operated selector on 0 and removing the key.
This condition is ensured by the fact that drawing-in cannot be performed
without opening the front and rear sliding doors which are connected to a
safety microswitch.

7. MAINTENANCE
The excellent construction characteristics of the thread straightener ensure

trouble-free operation without frequent maintenance interventions.
Before engaging in any maintenance work, always deactivate the thread
straightener by setting the key-operated switch in control panel on 0 and
pulling out the key.
7.1 Maintenance of the mechanical parts
To ensure regular machine operation we recommend removing any

fabric threads wound around the spreading cylinders and the centring
unit every 40 hours or so.
Check the tensioning of the belt that transmits motion to the curved
cylinders (only for model MDC) approximately every 200 hours and, if
necessary,
adjust by releasing the nuts and moving the geared motor (R) until you
get the desired tension.
At the end of the adjustment process, tighten the nuts again (figure 6).

7.2. Maintenance of the reading system
Clean the reading head lenses every day with a soft cloth. Do not use
running water.
At regular intervals, clean the filters in the cubicle ventilation slots and
check fan functionality.
8. SAFETY DEVICES AND GUARDS
The unit is equipped with the electrical safety devices described in the
previous sections and a number of mechanical guards.
The presence of the key-operator selector for t unit operating modes means
that, once the key has been pulled out and handed in, the machine can
be used solely by trained and knowledgeable operators performing deli-
berate actions.
For safety purposes, the operator must never leave his/her work station with
the key in the selector during any drawing-in, maintenance or cleaning
operations; moreover, the operator must make sure that if any part has
been removed, it has been fitted back and fastened firmly in the proper
position before starting a new work cycle.
In any case, it should be stressed that the unit cannot work independently
and therefore is subject to the STARTING PROHIBITED provision until it
has been incorporated into other machines and cer tified
(MANUFACTURERS DECLARATION).
The unit has been designed so that the risks associated with ambient
noise are reduced to the minimum, based on technical progress and the
availability of appropriate means to attenuate noise, especially at the
source, as provided for in decree D.P.R. 459/96 Annex 1, comma 1.5.8.
The average value of Weighted Equivalent Noise level (A) with the working
parameters of the machine set on optimal values is:
L EP,d <70 dB(A).
The operator is exposed to no hazard and hence no preventive activity
is specified, no indications or reports are required.

R
S.p.A.
The display panel is able to visualise the data in either full screen or reduced
to ½ screen mode; the latter mode is used when the Vdtex is connected
to 2 or more instruments or machines and is used for the simultaneous
presentation of 2 data windows.
The list of the machines or instruments connected to the Vdtex is shown by
a series of icons aligned in the upper part of the screen. Each icon gives the
instrument’s identification number; by typing this number you may recall
the visualisation of the instrument concerned. In the ½ screen mode, the
instrument recalled is positioned in the bottom part of the screen.
You may switch from reduced to full screen visualisation and vice versa by
means of the up/down arrow keys.
The lower part of the screen displays the main controls and the operating
status of instrument or the machine.
In the ½ screen mode, you can work the instrument controls visible in the
lower part of the screen. To move the visualisation of an instrument to the
lower part, press the corresponding identification number.
1.2. List of connected instruments and operating status
In the upper part of the screen we find the symbols of the instruments
connected to the Vdtex. The number of symbols displayed depends on the
installation. In the example given in the figure below, we see the icons
representing the weft straightener, the reading bridge and the fabric humidity
measuring instrument (Hygrotex).
Each instrument is associated with a progressive identification number.

Each symbol can take on 4 colours, whose meaning is:
• white: instrument not active (off, defective or not connected)

• red: error signal coming from an instrument; to know the details, display
the error message page relating to the instrument. when the message
has been silenced, the red colouring disappears.
• yellow: manual mode operation.
• green: automatic control active.

1.3. Control selection
The control line occupies the bottom part of the screen. Each control is
represented by a graphic symbol; to activate the desired control, press the
key (F1 ... F8) located next to the symbol. In some cases it proves impossible
to display all the controls simultaneously and therefore the controls have
been subdivided over different lines; the selection of the desired line of
controls is always made by pressing the last key (F8). A few symbols will take
on a negative colouring (black background) when the function associated
with them is active.
The figure below is an example; the position and number of the controls
can be changed.

1.12. Autooffset
Description
Autooffset is a function of the DIGITEX STD1 control system that can be used
in systems fitted out with the weft straightener and the reading bridge, or
minidigitex, connected to one another by means of a Vdtex computer: it
makes it possible to minimise the weft distortion phenomena which may
occur in the process after the weft straightener.
This function can only be used in conjunction with a Vdtex computer, and
furthermore both the reading bridge and the weft straightener must be of
the DIGITEX STD1 type.
Operating principle
The reading bridge measures the average distortion of the fabric on the
output side and adjusts the offset of the weft straightener located on the
input, so as to compensate for the distortion introduced during the process
with a distortion of the opposite sign.
Applicability
The autooffset function can be used only on sufficiently long pieces of
homogeneous fabric, since the distance between the weft straightener and
the reading bridge necessarily involves a certain delay between the control
action can be started; furthermore the evaluation of the average distortion
at the output always requires a certain time period.
The autooffset makes it possible to remedy the distortion phenomena that
come into being after the weft straightener, and it cannot be used to try to
improve the action of the weft straightener itself. In actual fact, it will only
work effectively if the behaviour of the weft straightener is optimal.
Configuration
The autooffset must be configured on the basis of system characteristics by
means of the KM parameters dedicated to this function (See the section
entitled: “Service adjustments: KM parameters”).
The configuration must be performed on the basis of the KM parameters of
the Digitex STD1control action concerning the reading bridge.
When the autooffset has been configured, the bridge data display panel
shows a symbol indicating the operating status:
19
R
S.p.A.
Enabling the function

The function can be enabled from the Vdtex computer by selecting the
following command in the bridge data display panel:
or from the OP16 terminal of the reading bridge, by means of the secondary
command:
See the list of commands of the Vdtex and the OP16 for the details.
20
R
S.p.A.
When the autooffset function is off it proves impossible to modify the weft
straightener offset manually; this condition is highlighted on the Vdtex com-
puter by the light colouring of the offset setting symbols (the numbers
inside the symbols show the offset value set automatically by the reading
bridge):
whilst on the OP16 terminal the indication of the offset is preceded by

symbol A (autooffset) in lieu of an O (offset).
Operating status
The operating status is indicated by the acronym depicted inside the
autooffset symbol of the Vdtex or the OP16.

3. PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
3.1 KM parameters
Space delay before reg.

Time delay before reg.
These parameters define the delay (in terms of space and/or time) to elapse
between line start-up and the activation of automatic adjustment.
The equipment waits for the required time interval to elapse and then for
the set number of meters to pass before enabling automatic control.
It is also possible to use only one of these two parameters, just set on zero
the one you do no with to use.
Min. stopping time

This parameter lets you define the minimum line stopping time after which
you wish the delay before adjustment to step in. In this manner, a brief line
stop will not activate the delay before adjustment process (see paragraph
Space/time delay before adjustment parameters).
Min. working speed

This represents the minimum speed threshold below which automatic control
will not longer work. It is advisable to set values other than 0 to prevent
automatic control from working when the line is stationary (see paragraph
Space/time delay before adjustment parameters).
Speed sensor calibration

This is used to calibrate the speed measuring system and the meters of
fabric processed counter.
Speed is measured by means of a static sensor which is excited by the
projections of a disk force fitted onto one of the machine cylinders.
The set value represents the distance covered by the material between two
successive pulses generated by the sensor.
Example: disk-sensor assembly with 8 pulses/rev fitted to the axle of a cylinder
in contact with the material, with 380 mm circumference:
Cyl. circumference 380 mm

Pulse spacing = = = 47,5 mm
No. of pulses 8
To set this value, see the machine start-up procedure too.

10
R
S.p.A.
Speed sensor average num.

This is used to set the number of successive measurements to be performed
by the speed sensor in order to obtain an average value. It is useful to filter
the speed measurement and improve the stability of the reading.
Set n.=1 to have a direct, non-averaged reading.
Note: set this number to be the same as the number of pulses / disk revolution
to neutralise the oscillations in speed indications due to the error associated
with the subdivision of the notches over a revolution.
Simulated speed (0=off)

This service parameter makes it possible to simulate the measurement of
the desired line speed even with the machine stationary or with no speed
sensor fitted. It must be set on 0 during regular work. Set a simulated speed
higher than the minimum working speed and switch the machine to
automatic mode to activate the control system.
Machine status
This defines the operating conditions of the equipment, according to the
following code:
0 = running-in of mechanical parts (forward/return movement
of the skew and bow adjustment actuators by means
of the limit switches)
1 = stop Weft reading off
2 = Manual mode Weft reading only
3 = Automatic mode Weft reading and control system on
This parameter is updated automatically by means of the direct STOP/MAN/
AUTO commands. It is always possible to modify the machine status by
working directly on this parameter.
Program in use
This is used to memorise the number of the selected program.
This parameter is updated automatically by means of the program selection
control:
The active program can also be changed by working directly on this

parameter.
Installed heads
This is used to set the number of heads installed and connected to the
control panel. Furthermore, this parameter established the max. number of
heads selectable.

11
R
S.p.A.
Heads in use
Sets the number of heads in use. Its value must be comprised between 2
and the number of heads installed. When the number of heads in use is
lower than the number of heads installed, the system progressively cuts out
the outermost heads, so as to be able to adjust the number of heads in use
to actual fabric height. Set the highest possible value compatible with fabric
size.
This parameter is updated automatically by means of the following control.
Width % covered by heads

Expresses the percentage width of the nominal table of the machine to
which the reading heads are applied. Example: in a machine with nominal
effective table of 3000 mm, where the distance between external heads
turns out to be 2000 mm, the % width covered is given by: (2000/3000)*100
= 66%.
This parameter is used only to determine the bow offset.
Graphics configuration
This parameter defines the direction of the motion of the cylinders after a
reset command, the polarity of the graphic and numerical indications of
the skew and bow error in relation to the assembly positions of the reading
bridge, the Vdtex computer and the skew and bow manual control button
strip. Depending on the chosen configuration, the system automatically
adapts the polarity of the distortion adjustment outputs. (It is always possible
to change the polarity of the adjustment by means of the KM parameters
skew control and bow control).
This parameter consists of a numerical code consisting of 5 digits, each of
which can take on only the values of 0 and 1, so as to give 32 possible
combinations, from code 00000 to code 11111. Each digit identifies the
assembly position of a component according to the table given below.
In order to establish the assembly position of the reading bridge, the Vdtex
computer and the manual skew and bow control button strip, refer to the
following sign convention.
Sign convention for skew and bow errors:
stand ideally along the processing line with your shoulders turned to the
fabric input side and facing the output side (as if it were river): in these
conditions, the polarity of the indications must be as follows:
Direction of movement of the fabric
Skew polarity
Bow polarity

12
R
S.p.A.
Codes for the assembly position of the reading heads, Vdtex, manual
controls:
Position yourself ideally on the processing line by turning your back to the
fabric input side and facing the output end (as if it were a river flowing): in
these conditions, determine the codes according to the following rules:
The codes given above also apply to the manual skew and bow control of
the OP16 terminal.
Skew cont. (0=0ff 1/-1=on)

Bow cont. (0=0ff 1/-1=on)
These parameters are used to activate the skew and bow automatic control,
respectively.
[ 0] Automatic adjustment is disabled. This setting can be used whenever

you wish to use the equipment solely for skew and bow control.
[ 1] Control action with the polarity normally used on the standard weft
straightener,
[-1] Control action with inverted polarity (used in special applications).

13
R
S.p.A.
Threshold for prop.regol.

This parameter only affects the proportional analog skew and bow control.
If the weft distortion is minimal and working speed is low, the system may
require a displacement speed lower than the minimum acceptable limit
for the actuator employed. This problem is specially important when using
actuators with no speed feed-back (e.g. inverter for three-phase motors).
The value set by means of this parameter establishes the minimum reference
threshold below which the control action takes place by pulses, since it is
not possible to obtain a correct management of the motors.
Min. impulse for prop.reg.

This parameter only affects skew and bow proportional analog control, and
has no effects on pulse control.
It sets the minimum time duration of a pulse when the proportional reference
is below the Proportional control threshold (see previous parameter). The
value set must ensure the smallest possible displacement of the skew or
bow adjustment actuator in the presence of the minimum error (0.1% error
and min. working speed).
Indicator light mode

This is used to define the operating mode of the indicator lights of skew and
bow control (see the electrical wiring diagrams for the connections).

Autooffset eval.time
This parameter can be used only when a weft-straightener is combined with
a reading bridge placed on the output end of the system, and it makes it
possible to manage the automatic adjustment of the offset (or auto-offset)
of the weft-straightener through the evaluation of the average distortion
measured at the output by the reading bridge.
This parameter must be set on the KM table of the reading bridge. The
value entered determines the observation window of the error trend, i.e.,

They must be set on the KM table of the reading bridge. The coefficient
determines the variation to be made to the skew or bow offset of the weft-
straightener on the input in relation to the average evaluation of distortion.
The following formula is applied:
offset increment = auto-offset coeff. x average error measured
It is possible to set either positive or negative values to adapt to all installation

conditions. If the sign is wrong, the weft will be distorted to an even greater
extent.
Exceedingly high values will result in oscillations in control action.
Autooffset:distance wfs brd

value entered determines the delay between the offset adjustment
interventions (the greater is the distance, the greater must be the delay
time, line speed being the same).

Checking the skew or curve offset setting mode: as a rule, the offset is set by
means of the control keyboard of the Vdtex computer or the OP16 terminal;
with this parameter it becomes possible to enable offset adjustment by
means of analog signals coming from a trimmer or an external reference
device.
To be able to have the offset adjusted by means of an analog signal, it is

necessary to have the C282 board assembled and configured to this end.

3.2 KT parameters

Bow regulation gain
The control of the global speed of reaction of the machine is determined
by the settings of the KR control parameters. The skew and bow control
coefficients (which can be set program by program) permit a further
adaptation of the speed of reaction of the machine to meet special needs.
By setting a value of 0, the control action is disabled and we can have a
working program with only the skew or the bow control action active.
For a correct adjustment of the speed of reaction of the machine, set these
parameters on 100% (basic setting) and work on the KR parameters
(proportional, integrative, derivative gain); then, only if it is really indispensable,
use these control coefficients to increase/reduce the speed of reaction of
the machine in specific programs.
Skew offset
Bow offset
Setting the skew and bow offsets.
These parameters are updated automatically by the commands:
it still proves possible to change the skew or curve offset by working directly
on the parameters.
When offset control by means of an external reference signal is selected

(see External Offsets parameter KM...) the value set with these parameters
is ignored by the control unit.

Expresses the skew or bow error threshold to be passed before the automatic
control action steps in.
This parameter determines the blind band in which the automatic controller
does not intervene and it is necessary to avoid unnecessary stresses on the
actuator around the work point.
By setting this parameter on 0, the control action steps in as soon as the
error is other than 0.
Sampling position
Indication (in degrees) of the displacement (relative to the horizontal axis) of
the weft reading zone. For normal weft structures, the reading position is 0
degrees, but some weft structures may require different angles (See figure).

18
R
S.p.A.
Sampling Window
Indication (in degrees) of the width of the weft reading zone. The value is
understood as the sum of total width: for instance, by setting 15° we get a
reading of between - 15 and + 15 degrees with respect to the reference
represented by the reading position.
This is illustrated in the following drawing:
Measuring mode
Selects the weft distortion measuring mode. The machine offers 3 different
signal processing modes. The choice is made on the basis of fabric
properties.

Average number
Setting the weft signal filtering coefficient: higher values attenuate the
variations and improve the stability of the signal.
For problems of compatibility between the Alfa 90 and Alfa 180 reading
heads, the Number of averages for the measurement of distortion
parameter is also used to select the reflex reading mode: all odd settings
activate the reflex reading, all even settings activate reading by
transparency. Since the machine is equipped with its own control for the
activation of the reflex reading system, we recommend using even settings
only.
The weft reading system evaluated the readability of the fabric: the score
assigned (from 0 &o 100) is shown on the display panel through the following
icon.
This parameter defines the minimum readability threshold. When the

readability of the fabric drops below the et value, automatic operation is
disabled and the skew and bow corrector cylinders move to the neutral
position automatically.
3.3 KS parameters
Print enable (0=off, 1=on)

Enables the transmission of weft distortion data to the print management
module: 0=data printing disabled; 1 = enabled.
This parameter is updated automatically by the control:
It is still possible to enable the printing of data by working directly on the

parameter.
For details, see the manual of the printing module.
Chart time scale

Defines the time scale (x axis) used to plot the evolution of the control error
in graphic form. It only affects the charts displayed on screen.

20
R
S.p.A.
Chart Y scale (skew err.)

Chart Y scale (bow err.)
Chart Y scale (global err.)
Setting the visualisation scales of the (y axis) skew, bow and global error,
respectively, used by the graphic plotters of the adjustment error. These
parameters only affect the charts displayed on screen.

Setting the alarm thresholds concerning the distortion measured for the skew,
bow and global error, respectively.
The 1st threshold governs the luminous indications displayed on screen and
the alarm outputs (relay contacts), the 2nd threshold is used for the mana-
gement of print-outs.
When the 1st alarm threshold is exceeded, the indications
present in the recording instrument light up and the output relay is excited
(see list of available connections).
The value set with either the 1st or the second threshold are used fro the
management of print-outs; see the print module manual.
3.4 KR parameters
The KR control parameters are listed in 2 tables: one for skew and one for
bow adjustments. In this manner it is possible to diversify and optimise
separately the response times of the 2 control actions.
Delay compensation
The control actuators (e.g., the skew and curved cylinders) are generally
situated at a certain distance from the measuring heads. To obtain a prompt
reaction of the control system when a change in distortion occurs, it proves
necessary to reduce this distance to the minimum.
The delay time with which the control action is perceived by the reading
heads depends on the speed of the line: increasing speeds make for faster
adjustments and vice versa.

21
R
S.p.A.
This parameters lets you select delay compensation proportional to line

speed.

lead to a faster reaction time.

Manual control gain

Setting the variation ramp of the speed reference of the skew and bow
actuators by means of the manual controls. This setting is possible only in
the case of analog control and it does not affect contact type ON / OFF
control.
In actual practice, the manual controls and the analog output form an
electronic moto-trimmer in which this parameter established the reference
signal variation ramp.
The minimum and maximum values reached by the output analog signals,
DAC1 and DAC2, can be limited (see the Minimum/maximum output
limitation parameters).
For the standard version of the weft straightener with incremental skew and
bow control it is advisable to set 0.

Setting the variation range admissible in any condition for the analog control
outputs contained in board C284 M1-4(DAC1) and M1-9(DAC2). The values
must be expressed in volts.

In the case of ON/OFF control by means of an electromechanical actuator,
mechanical play might be present in the control system drive line and
therefore, when the direction of action of the controller is reversed it proves
necessary to take up play in the drive line before system adjustment can be
obtained again. Thanks to this parameter, if the control direction is reversed,
an additional time interval is added to the standard pulse time and is
calculated so as to take up play immediately.
Minimum impulse
This parameter only affects the pulse control outputs (ON/OFF control) and
establishes the minimum time duration of the pulse. Control pulses of a
shorter time duration and harmonised with the minimum time duration set
with this parameter.
Exceedingly short pulses cause unnecessary stresses on the equipment and
have no useful effects; on the other hand, exceedingly long minimum pulses
do not permit a sufficiently fine adjustment. Hence it is important to determine
the minimum admissible pulse with care.

23
R
S.p.A.
Regulation period
This established the time interval to elapse between one control pulse and
the next. The value to be set depends on the type of actuator available
and the rapidity of control that may be obtained: short periods can be
used in the case of fast controllers, in which the minimum pulse is also short-
lasting. In this connection it should be kept in mind that the Minimum pulse
and Regulation period parameters determine the possible dynamics of
the control action, in that the pulse adjustment range varies from 100%
(contact permanently closed) to ON/OFF cycles with:
minimum time duration of pulse

duty-cycle % = x 100

An error has occurred in the connection between the Vdtex com-
puter and the instrument panel. The instrument does not respond
and transmits no data.
Probable causes: incorrect setting of station address, electric
panel of the instrument off, an instrument might be defective
and interrupt the data transmission line, connecting cable broken,
connection with inverted leads, strong noise in the transmission
line, lack of grounding connections.
xx01 R/W RAM

01xx weft straightener

02xx reading bridge
0113 no heads active

0213 no heads active
No reading head in communication with the BETA 90 board.
Probable causes: it is not likely for all the heads to break
simultaneously, but since they are all connected in parallel via a
RS485 serial line, the failure of one component located on the
transmission line might block the communications. Try to
disconnect the heads one at a time and test their operation.
0114 timeout head nn

The rotary optic system of head nn is not rotating at the established
speed.
Probable causes: mechanical defect of the rotary system, defect
in the control circuit.
0116 lamp ko head nn

0216 lamp ko head nn
The projector located in front of head nn indicates the failure of
the lamp filament.
Probable causes: lamp filament failure.

admissible temperature for correct operation).
If the message persists, it might prove necessary to fit a head
cooling device.
2.3. Other indications
As far as possible, the message are communicated by displaying them on

the screen of the Vdtex. In some cases, however, a failure may prevent the
messages from appearing on the screen. In such circumstances, the
information can be obtained from the LEDs and from the display unit of the
Beta 90 board (the latter is placed inside the electrical control panel, see
the electrical wiring diagram).
The control panel can be opened only by trained personnel.
In the event of a failure, it is of use to inform the repair technicians of the

type of indication observed and the message code number.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1. List of steps to be performed in the installation process
The following list describes the sequence of operations necessary to install

and configure the print-out management function; the details are given in
the following paragraphs.
identify a suitable position where to place the printer.
identify the equipment (Digitex 90, instrumentation) to which you wish to
connect the printer.
Position the RS422/RS232 converter in the immediate proximity of the
printer.
Extend the connecting cable between the converter and the equipment
in which the print-out management module is installed (for the connection,
see the wiring diagram).
Configure the Beta90 board (in some instances it might be necessary to
replace the software installed or to change the board versions: contact
the technical servicing dept.).
Start the Vdtex computer self-configuration procedure so as to enable
the computer to recognise the presence of the printer module.
2.2. Positioning the printer and the protocol converter
The printer must be placed in a protected position; pay attention to the

arrangement of the paper so as to prevent poor alignment or friction from
causing paper jams.
To set and start the printer, follow the instructions given by the printer
manufacturer.
The protocol converter must be placed in the proximity of the Beta90
board, so as to minimise the length of the RS232 connecting cable with
the printer. Keep in mind that the serial line with protocol RS422 between
the converter and the Beta90 board is less vulnerable to noise than the
line with protocol RS232.
At any rate, make sure the RS422 connecting cable does not run next to
power cables or strongly disturbed cables. If any problems arise, try moving
the cables and check the grounding connections.

4
R
S.p.A.
2.3. Choice of the equipment to which the printer is to be connected
The printer must be connected to the Beta90 board of any equipment

(Digitex 90, instrumentation) controlled by the Vdtex computer present on
the system. The printer cannot be connected to the Vdtex computer.
When selecting the equipment to which the printer is to be connected keep
in mind that the print-out management module uses the meter counter
sensor of the machine on which it is installed. If you wish to obtain a report
giving the total no. of meters at the output of the line, it is therefore important
to link up to an instrument whose sensor is at the output end (e.g. the reading
bridge).
Printer enabling by means of the configuration switches (SW1) must be
performed only on the Beta90 board to which the printer is connected.
2.4. List of connecting terminals
The electrical connection with the protocol converter and hence with the
printer is by means of the M3 connector of the C285 board, called Beta90.

The meaning of the SW1-1 .... SW1-6 switches may depend on machine
or instrument type, see the machine manual.
Printer enabling must be performed only on the Beta90 board to which

the printer is connected.

R
S.p.A.
2.7. Vdtex computer self-configuration procedure
The self-configuration procedure of the Vdtex computer makes it possible

to define the number and type of instruments connected.
The procedure must be performed each time you change the number of
instruments connected to the Vdtex (system expansion or modification).
To perform the procedure, it is necessary to know the access code to level
3.
Turn on the Vdtex computer and all the instruments connected to it.
Select the access key setting command.
Set the access key to level 3 (installation level).
Select the self-configuration command.
Wait a few seconds for the completion of the procedure (a progressive

number marks the progress of the work).
At the end of the procedure, the upper part of the screen must display all
the icons of the instruments connected to the Vdtex.
If any of such instruments fail to appear at the end of the procedure,

repeat the procedure at least a couple of times and then, if the problem
persists, verify the station addresses set and the wiring of the missing
instruments.
If an instrument does not communicate with the Vdtex it cannot transmit
the error messages: the data can be obtained from the display unit of the
Beta90 board (see the diagnostic section).
See the wiring information of serial connection RS422.

3. USE
The following paragraphs illustrate the operation of the print-out manage-

ment system and the relative controls by means of the Vdtex computer; for
the general characteristics of the Vdtex computer, see the manual of the
machine in which the printer module is installed.
3.1. General concepts
The printing module is able to print out the processing data of all the devices
connected to the Vdtex computer. Each instrument has it own printing enable
control; only enabled instruments can transmit the data to the print mana-
gement module. The print manager generates one or more columns of
data for each instrument enabled, and therefore the size of the print-out
depends on the number of instruments activated (see in the technical data
the table listing the max. number of columns printable for each paper
format).
General print activation is performed by means of the control present on
the print management module.

Closing and subsequent re-opening of printed report. This

command can be used only when the printing process is on
and it closes the report underway with the printing of the

Selection of printing mode in groups of meters (PM). When this

mode is chosen, the machine prints one line of data only upon
reaching of the established number of meters.
The number of meters can be set by means of the following
control, which can be accessed only with the level 1 (supervisor)
access key.
The change of printing mode is possible only when printing is

Selection of the printing mode upon the passing of the set error
thresholds (PE). When this mode is selected, the machine prints a
line of data whenever the adjustment error exceeds one of the
set thresholds. The machine performs an average evaluation of
the error for a given number of meters. The number of meters
can be set by means of the following command which can be
accessed only with the level 1 (supervisor) access key.
The change of printing mode is possible only when printing is

disabled.
Setting the management data (HD). With this command it proves

possible to set the data concerning the process underway. The
maximum length admissible for each datum is 20 characters.
The management data are printed in the heading of the report.
The data introduced are displayed in the central column of the
screen and cannot be used immediately by the machine, but
are stored until they are activated by means of a special
command (see next command). For the character and number
setting method, see the Data setting chapter.

3.8. Printing modes
The program has two printing modes: printing by groups of meters and
printing upon the passing of the error thresholds. The selection is by means
of the following commands:
Selection of the printing mode by groups of meter (PM).
Selection of the printing mode based on the passing of the

established error threshold (PE).
The printing mode can be changed only after closing the printing process
by means of the special command.
Printing by groups of meter

In this printing mode, the program determines (for the number of meters to be
grouped) the percentage of fabric belonging to each of the tolerance ranges
set. In the print-out obtained it is not possible to determine the exact point
where the operation is out of tolerance nor can we establish the mean value
and the sign of the error; on the other hand, knowing the length of the piece of
fabric we may determine the number of lines in the printed report and the
report will be more legible. The number of meters to be grouped can be set.
In the example below of printing in groups of 10 m with weft distortion data we
find that in the first 10 m 100% of the fabric is in tolerance 1 where both skew
and bow distortions are concerned, between the tenth and the twentieth metre
skew distortion occurs, so that 90% of the fabric is in tolerance 1 and 10% is in
tolerance 2, etc.. The individual lines do not give the sign and mean value of
the error, but only the percentage of fabric comprised in the specified tolerance
range (to obtain the mean value of the error and its sign, use the printing mode
described below).
The printing process ends with an indication of the quantity of fabric (as a
percentage and in metres) belonging to each tolerance range.
Printing based on the passing of the established error threshold

In this printing mode, the program prints a line whenever the error shifts from
one tolerance range to another (in either direction); the printed line contains
the value of the meter counter in which the passing of the tolerance limit
has occurred. In this mode it is not possible to know in advance the
number of lines that will be printed.
The example below illustrates printing based on the passing of the error
threshold, and it shows the columns with the weft straightener data; from
the example it can be seen that the average skew error was 1.1% (tolerance
2) up to the twentieth metre, then it became 0.8% (tolerance 1) up to the
thirty-fifth metre and finally it became negative (-1.2%) up to the forty-fifth
metre, and so on.
The printing process ends with an indication of the quantity of fabric (as a
percentage and in metres) belonging to each tolerance range.

4. SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS
The only adjustments that can be made concern the number of meters to
be grouped (for printing by groups of meters) and the number of meters
within which to determine the average error (for printing based on the passing
of the error thresholds); the indications are given in the list of level 1
commands. There are no tables of data to be set.
4.1. Setting the tolerance ranges
The tolerance ranges (whose values are displayed in the heading of the
print-out) must be set by means of the control panel of each individual
instrument enabled for printing: for the information, refer to the description
of the KS parameters of each instrument.
5. DIAGNOSTICS
The print-out management module is a software module installed on the

Digitex 90 weft control system (weft straightener, reading bridge), or on the
instrumentation. For fault finding, see the instructions concerning the machine
in which the module is installed (diagnostics of the Beta90 board).

1- Standard configuration:
1.1- System configurations:
The VDTEX computer can be supplied in a single version suitable for installation on a revolving
support or panel-mounting:
The data entry device consists of a membrane keypad and a resistive or capacitive touch screen.
The components adopted for these computers are all of industrial type, the degree of protection on
the front is IP65, there are no moving parts subjected to wear (such as hard disks) and the data are
displayed on a last generation TFT colour screen.
1.2- Software configurations:
The VDTEX computer can be equipped with two different types of software, depending on the
machine you want to connect it to:
1. Software PROCES PC10
2. Software VDTEX96
SW PROCES PC10 makes it possible to control BIANCO machines fitted with DIGITEX
180electronic components and meant for this use. This SW is supplied only with VDTEX
computers fitted with a keyboard, since it does not support the touch screen.
SW VDTEX96 represents the evolution of PROCES PC10, and it makes it possible to control
BIANCO machines using DIGITEX STD1 electronic components. This SW can be supplied with
all VDTEX computer versions.
VDTEX HG 2005_E
R VDTEX
Page 4 of 41
2- Installation:
The VDTEX requires the connection to the 220V power mains and a serial connection; see the
wiring diagrams supplied with the machine to which the VDTEX has to be connected for the details
and the wiring instructions.
The VDTEX computers supplied with machines are already configured to operate with the
machines. If you are using a new, or standby, VDTEX computer you might have to select the
correct rate for the transmission of data along the serial line and perform the self-configuration
routine (see the relative sections for detailed instructions on these operations).
VDTEX HG 2005_E
R VDTEX

3- Use of VDTEX96 software:

3.1- Using the touch screen
SW VDTEX96 recognises and manages the touch screen automatically. To activate a control by
means of the touch screen just touch the screen, applying a slight pressure to the icon symbolising
the control itself. By means of the touch screen you can also enter numerical values, when this type
of entry is required: just press, on the screen, the value that you want to modify and a small
numerical pad will appear, with digits 0 to 9 plus a number of function keys. If you press the screen
outside the pad area or confirm the data entered by means of ENTER, the pad disappears. If you
make changes to the values listed in the (KM, KT, etc…) tables, without the aid of the keyboard, it
is possible to move from one field to the next by causing the small numerical pad to appear and then
use the arrow keys displayed in the latter. We give below a few examples of views partly covered
by the numerical pad:
3.2- General characteristics
The figure below illustrates the front panel of the VDTEX computer.
The indications provided also apply to the touch screen version.
The display can show the data in full or half screen mode; the half screen mode is used when the
VDTEX is connected to 2 or more instruments or machines so as to be able to display two display
windows at the same time.
A list of the machines or instruments connected to the VDTEX is provided by the set of icons
aligned in the upper part of the screen. Each icon shows the instrument's identification number: to
recall an instrument, just type the relative number via the keyboard or touch the icon on the touch
screen. In half screen mode, the instrument recalled will appear in the bottom part of the screen.
By means of the keyboard you can shift from half to full screen display mode, or vice versa, using
the up/down arrow keys. To enlarge or reduce the display by means of the touch screen, instead,
just press the icon of the machine in the top left corner of the screen.
The lower part of the screen shows the main commands and the operating status of the instrument
or machine.
In half screen mode, you can activate the controls of the instrument displayed in the lower part of
the screen. To cause an instrument to be displayed in the lower part, just press the corresponding
identification number or press the relative icon, which can be found in the top first line of the
screen.

green automatic mode on
3.4- Selecting the commands
The commands line takes up the bottom part of the screen. Each command is represented by a
graphic symbol: to activate the desired command, press the key (F1....F8) situated next to the
symbol, or press the symbol itself if you are using a touch screen. In some cases it is not possible to
display all commands simultaneously, and therefore they commands have been subdivided over
different lines; the selection of the desired command line is always by means of the command
associated with the last symbol (associated with key F8).
Some symbols shift to a reversed colour scheme (black background) when the relative function is
active.
The figure below is an example: the position and number of the commands may vary.

5 Wait a few seconds until the procedure is completed (a

progressive number reflects the progress of work).
At this point, all the icons of the instruments connected to the Vdtex should appear in the upper part
of the screen.
Warning If any of the instruments connected fails to appear, repeat the procedure at least a
couple of times, and then, if the problem persists, check the station address set and the
wiring of the instruments that do not appear.
If any of the instruments cannot communicate with the Vdtex computer it will be
unable to transmit an error message: useful data can be obtained from the display of
the Beta 90 board (see the diagnostics section of the manuals of the various
machines).
See the wiring data of the RS422 serial line.
At this point, you may proceed with the recipe management configuration procedure. To quit

4- Commands and utility functions
A series of utility functions are installed, together with the VDTEX96 software: these functions can
be accessed by setting code “44444444” as access key. If you are used the VDTEX version with
keyboard you can activate these functions by keeping the SHIFT key pressed and at the same time
pressing the F1 key, and then release both.
Note: In some old versions of the VDTEX with keyboard, the utility functions can be activated
solely by pressing the SHIFT+F1 keys.
You can select the various utility functions by means of a menu that appears on screen.
There are two menu models that differ on account of their graphics and on whether or not you can
use the touch screen to make your selections.
4.1- Model 1 menu
The image below shows the menu as it appears on the screen:
This version is used solely on VDTEX computers with keyboard, since function selection is
performed by keeping the SHIFT key pressed and typing the letter corresponding to the chosen
function. No selection is possible by means of the touch screen. The table below gives a list of the
different functions, the combinations of keys to be pressed in order to activate them, and their
purpose.
VDTEX HG 2005_E
R VDTEX
Page 17 of 41
Key combinations Function activated

SHIFT+A Activates the VDTEX96 program (it displays the customary screen with
the data of the instruments connected).
SHIFT+B Activates a terminal emulation program: this function is meant for service
technicians testing the functionality of the electronic boards of the
machines. The emulation program makes it possible to set the serial
communication parameters (baud rate, parity, number of bits, stop
number); it can be quit by pressing the ESC key once or twice. When you
quit this program, the main menu reappears.
SHIFT+C The combination is used to check the integrity of a floppy disk with the
upgrade of SW VDTEX96. This function is reserved to service
technicians and it works only after connecting a floppy driver to the
VDTEX. Accordingly, in a VDTEX in normal configuration it has no
effects.
SHIFT+D This function is not described in the menu. Pressing these keys resets the
VDTEX96 data access keys to the factory values. It is used when a user
changes the keys and loses the new codes. Resetting is accomplished
without any message and remains displayed in the menu.
SHIFT+E You are asked to enter the current date and time, then the main menu is
restored. This function is used to update the system clock, even if the
latter is not going to be used or displayed by the SW VDTEX96.
SHIFT+F An ancillary menu is displayed:
at this point, press SHIFT+A to set the serial line towards the machine for
a baud rate of 9600 baud, or press SHIFT+B to set it at a baud rate of
19200 baud. The setting process does not display any message. Press the
combination of keys SHIFT+C to return to the main menu.
Note: The baud rate must be selected as a function of the setting of this
value on the machines to which the VDTEX is connected. If the
VDTEX is sold together with the machine, the baud rate set is
already correct. If the VDTEX is sold as a spare, you may have to
set the baud rate again.
VDTEX HG 2005_E
R VDTEX
Page 18 of 41
For instance, to select a baud rate of 19200 baud you must:

1. Activate the display of the ancillary functions menu by pressing keys SHIFT+F1.
2. Select the relative submenu by pressing SHIFT+F.
3. Press SHIFT+B to set the desired rate of 19200 baud.
4. Press SHIFT+C to return to the main menu.
5. Press SHIFT+A to return to the standard machine control program.
Note : Depending on the version, the number of options contained in the ancillary functions
menu and the combinations of keys provided to activate them may vary: in addition to
the combinations of keys listed above, see also the description of the functions.

5- SW upgrade functions.
5.1- Initial installation of the SW.
We describe below the procedure to be followed to install the SW in a new VDTEX, or to install it
again if the storage disk or the data contained therein have been damaged.
First of all, you must have on hand a floppy disk driver, which is not supplied as standard with the
VDTEX, a keyboard, for touch screen versions, and the following floppy disks:
1. System reset disk
2. VDTEX96 Ver…program installation disk
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the VDTEX.
2. Connect the floppy disk driver to the VDTEX; the method of connection will vary depending on
the VDTEX version your are using. For this operation, see the documentation attached to the
floppy disk driver itself.
3. Introduce the SYSTEM RESET disk into the driver and turn on the VDTEX.
4. Follow the prompts as they appear on the screen (these prompts are not given in this manual, as
they may vary depending on the type of system reset disk supplied: at any rate they boil down to
pressing certain keys).
5. At some point you will be asked to pull out the SYSTEM RESET floppy disk and to introduce
the PROGRAM INSTALLATION disk, then turn off the VDTEX, wait a few seconds and then
turn it on again. At this point, the chosen software has been installed: follow the prompts that
appear on screen until the final message tells you that the process as been completed.
5.2- Upgrades after the initial installation of the SW.
If you are upgrading the SW with a new version, i.e., the VDTEX IS ALREADY OPERATIONAL,
you can proceed faster by means of the ancillary functions menu, described in the previous
paragraph.
Warning Some or all of the ancillary functions described below may not be missing from the
ancillary function menu or your VDTEX. If the upgrade functions are not present, the
only way to upgrade the software is apply the procedure explained in the previous
subparagraph.
From the previous paragraph we have seen how to have access to the submenu given below:

The following table gives a list of the various functions, of the icons associated with them, as well
as their uses:

the relative key
Creates a “VDTEX96 program disk” containing the current version of the
program. This disk can be used to update or install the SW on another
VDTEX system. Press this icon and the system will ask you to introduced
F1 a band-new, previously formatted floppy disk into the floppy driver which
must have been connected to the VDTEX beforehand. Th following
screen appears:
If you wait a few seconds without pressing any key this function is
cancelled and the upgrade submenu reappears. On the other hand, if you
press any key or (for touch screens) any point on the screen, the disk
program will be created, as requested. During the creation of the disk, the
system displays messages on screen. At the end of the process, wait a few
seconds or press any key to return to the upgrade submenu.

Updates the software of the VDTEX. If you press this icon you will be
asked to introduce the program installation disk into the floppy disk drive
which must have been connected with the VDTEX in advance. The
F2 following screen is displayed:
Wait a few seconds without pressing any key to cancel the function and
return to the upgrade submenu. On the other hand, if you press any key or
(for touch screens) any point on the screen, the software upgrade
procedure will get underway. During the upgrading process, the system
displays status messages on screen. When the process is over, wait a few
seconds or press any key to return to the upgrade submenu.

Page 29 of 41
This function is identical in all respects to the one activated by means of
F3 , save that you are using the floppy disk drive of a remote
PC, connected to the VDTEX via a serial line. This procedure makes it
possible not to open the VDTEX to make the connection to the local
floppy disk drive. To perform this operation it is necessary to bootstrap
the remote PC with the “program installation” floppy disk. When the
latter function is launched, a screen appears as for the commands
described previously. Wait a few seconds without pressing any key to
return to the upgrade submenu. On the other hand, if you press any key or
(for touch screens) any point on the screen, the program disk will be
created, as requested. During the creation of the disk, the system displays
status messages on screen. When the process is over, wait a few seconds
or press any key to return to the upgrade submenu.
Note: To perform this operation you must have a previously formatted
brand-new floppy disk, since at some point you will be asked to
remove the program installation disk from the remote PC and
introduce the brand-new disk to download the upgrade version onto
it.
Important note: The program installation floppy disk created with this
option can be used solely for upgrade interventions
via the local floppy disk (not via the serial line).

instead. This operation does away with the need to open the VDTEX
computer to make the connection to the local floppy disk drive. To
perform this operation it is necessary to bootstrap the remote PC with the
“program installation” floppy disk. When this function is launched, a

Wait a few seconds without pressing any key to cancel the function and
return to the upgrade submenu. If you press any key or (for touch screen
versions) any point on the screen, the software upgrade will be performed
as requested. During the procedure, the system displays on screen a
number of status messages. At the end, wait a few seconds or press any
key to return to the upgrade submenu.

ANNEX B: Purchasing information:

B.1- General
The VDTEX computer and the relative software are normally supplied either as standard or as an
option to people purchasing a machine that uses this type of equipment. However, the computer can
be purchased separately, as a spare part. In the latter case, when ordering, it is necessary to specify:
the PN(s) of the machine(s) with which it will combined and to specify the code corresponding to
the desired product (to be written in the order).
B.2- Composition of the code to be written in the order:
V D S - T S - P C 1 0 - R D 3 7 - P L 3 7
TS=version with touch screen Code of the software of all the machines
KB=version with keyboard to te connected to the computer
2 4
VDS=standard version PC10=SW PROCES PC10
VDP=panel versione VD96=SW VDTEX96
1 3
1. A prefix, VDS or VDP, specifies whether the VDTEX must be supplied in the standard version,
on a revolving support, or for panel mounting..
2. It is not possible to specify the TS code indicating the touch screen version of the Vdtex jointly
with code PC10. If this indication is omitted, the model supplied will be suitable for the
machine PN.
3. It is not possible to specify code PC10 if you have already indicated code TS. If this indication
is omitted, the model supplied will be suitable for the machine PN.
4. The SW code can be worked out from the type and version of the software itself, which are
written on a sticker applied to the electronic control board of the machine.
Example of a sticker and software code composition:

Indicates a VDTEX with revolving support, keyboard and PROCES PC10 software, for use in
conjunction with 3 machines, whose software is RD37, HY13 and GX13.
N.B.: If you send a VDTEX to BIANCO for repairs, compose the code as described (this is
necessary if the unit has to be replaced) and do not forget to give all the information
concerning the problems experienced (when the failure occurs, what happens, what tests
have been performed).

ANNEX C: Recipe management

C.1- General
When the recipes have been configured, as explained in the relative paragraph, the first line at the
top of the VDTEX screen will show a new icon: press the icon or the key corresponding to the
number shown on the icon to display the recipe management screen:
The recipe management screen contains a small instrument, corresponding to each of the machines
connected to the VDTEX, with all the main machine data, represented in numerical form and/or by
means of a small bar chart. The space comprised between “>” and “<” shows the code of the
chosen recipe.
VDTEX HG 2005_E
R VDTEX
Page 34 of 41
The table below gives a list of the various functions that can be accessed from the line menu, the
icons associated with each and their purpose:

the relative key
Makes it possible to modify a recipe or create a new one. The recipe is
displayed as a page, in table form. Each page contains all the operating
settings of a machine and the number of pages corresponds to the number
F1 of machines connected to the VDTEX. The tables with the recipes can be
modified in the same way as a normal table (for instance, table KM), as
described in the relative section. The difference is that in lieu of
descriptions, the different lines contain icons illustrating the parameter.
For further details, see below subparagraph “Recipe tables”.
Makes it possible to recall a recipe created previously. You are asked to
enter a recipe code. If the recipes have been configured from BIU (see
recipe configuration section) the recipe code remains available for the PC,
F2 or the PLC, which can read it and transmit the relative data. If the recipes
have been configured from the disk, the file with the same name as the
recipe code introduced is sought, and it this search does not succeed, the
operator is warned by an error box.
This is used to save a modified or a newly created recipe. If it is a new
recipe, you are asked to enter a code. The recipe is saved in a file with the
same name as the code entered; if the file cannot be saved, the operator is
F3 warned by means of an error box.
N.B.: This command appears only if the recipes have been configured
from the disk.
Transmits the recipe to the machines. The different settings are
transmitted to machines. The settings transmitted to a machine that is not
ON are lost (if the machine is turned on when the recipe has been
F4 transmitted, it will be necessary to transmit the recipe again to set the
machine).
C.2- Configuration methods
As discussed above, it is possible to configure the recipes for management purposes by means of
the BIU board (command ) or to save the data on the disk (command ). In the
subparagraphs that follow, we shall examine different operating modes for the two types of
configuration.
VDTEX HG 2005_E
R VDTEX
Page 35 of 41
C.2.1- Configuration for the management of recipes on disk.
In this case, the codes entered, for recipe reading or saving, must be valid file names since they are
going to b used, with extension “.RIC”, to have access to the files and either read the recipe from
them or write the recipes onto them. The path giving access to such files is saved in a special file
“VDTEX.MES” and cannot be easily changed by the user. By default, this path points to a special
directory residing in the local disk of the VDTEX computer. If it proves necessary to connect the
VDTEX computer to the network, to manage the recipes on a remote disk, contact the BIANCO
service and supply indications on the type of network you want to connect to and the type of
connection to be established, as well as the path to be introduced into the “VDTEX.MES” file.
C.2.2- Recipe management by means of BIU90 option.
By means of the different versions of the BIU90 option (see specific documentation) it is possible to
connect all BIANCO machines, that are pre-set and present on a line, either to a PLC or to a remote
PC. This BIU enables the recipes to managed from a remote unit in different ways:
1. The remote PC (or PLC) manages the recipes independently and, through the BIU, sets the
various machines; in this case, the VDTEX management function is not exploited and the
VDTEX is used solely as a local control station.
2. The VDTEX is set for recipe management through the BIU. The recipe code is entered via the
VDTEX, which is read by the remote PC (or PLC); the various machines are set by the PC (or
PLC), and the settings are displayed on the VDTEX too.
3. Same as at point 2, save that the settings are displayed on the VDTEX but are not transmitted to
the machines: through the VDTEX you can see them, modify them as necessary, and then
transmit the to the machines when the fabric begins to be processes.
The types of management described above are the most common, but there are variants that can be
introduced such as the transmission of a recipe from a remote PC (or PLC) depending on the action
of an external device, connected to such units, without having to enter the code via the VDTEX, and
so on.
For a detailed description of the possibilities offered by the various optional models of BIU90, see
the relative documentation.
C.3- Colours of the recipe icons.
After the configuration, the top line of the VDTEX screen shows the recipe symbol (
), which can take on 4 different colours, with the following meanings:
white No recipe loaded

red An error has occurred during recipe reading/writing on the
disk.
N.B.: this condition can occur only in the case of recipes
configured for management on the disk.
yellow A new recipe has been read, or the current recipe has been
modified.
green The current recipe has been transmitted to the machines. This
colour is maintained until the recipe is modified or a new one
is loaded.

C.4- Tables of recipes
By means of this command it is possible to modify or create a recipe. The screen that
appears is as follows:
As mentioned before, the data are managed in table form, through the customary table management
methods. The numerical pad shown in the figure can be made to appear, if you have a touch screen
version of the VDTEX, by touching the right hand portion of the screen containing the values. The
table blow lists the functions of the commands contained in the menu line.

the relative key
The icon represents the machine to which the page refers; it varies on
each page, since the different pages refer to different machines. This
command transmits the recipe data to the machine to which the current
F1
page refers. It differs from command in that the latter

transmits the entire recipe to all the machines whilst this command affects
a single machine.

The screen that appears is follows:
If you are using a touch screen version, press the field containing the cursor, in the upper part, to
display a numerical pad, as shown in the figure. To introduce alphanumerical characters you can
use the commands situated in the lower part of the screen: press a command once to display the first
alphanumerical character represented inside the icon, press the command twice to display the
second, and so on. To move to the next position, just enter one of the characters contained in a
different icon, or an alphanumerical character, or move by means of a cursor movement command.
By means of the page change command associated with key F8 you can toggle between the
visualisation of the first and second menu line. The second menu line contains the following
commands:
This is used to confirm the code entered and go back to the previous
screen. In the case of configuration for recipe management on the disk, if
the code entered is not valid or any problems are encountered in reading
