The screen of the Koch Comfort Panel KP700 displays actual values of the
machine. The content of the screen may vary depending on the operating
condition of the machine:
On the one hand, the PLC can alter the contents, e.g. to indicate important
events of the machine.
On the other hand, the operator can open various menus in order to set values
or obtain information about the status of the machine.

In case the machine is at a standstill, function key F17 can be used to switch off
the control. The auxiliary drives mentioned above will be switched off in this
case.
In case the machine is idle for more than 15 minutes, the control will be
switched off automatically to save energy and avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
Before starting the machine, check the safety equipment (e.g. emergency
stops ... - see also safety instructions). Furthermore, make sure that nobody is
put at risk by starting the machine.

To stop the machine, press function key F17 or push one of the stop buttons at
the machine.
Each time function key F21 is pressed, the nominal speed is increased by a
defined increment (for example 100 fpm)
A speed change is possible during both standstill and operation. The new value
for the nominal speed is displayed immediately. It is not possible to set the
nominal speed to a higher value than the maximum speed value specified in the
drawing program.
By pressing function key F19 the actual speed can be reduced by a defined
percentage (in general 50 %). This does not affect the nominal speed display
(see figure 8). By pressing function key F19 once again the actual speed
returns to 100%.
22 of 48
KP700
As long as the reduced speed is selected, the LED of function key F19 is
flashing. This function should be used in case of pay-off issues, passing welds,
climbing issues… .
The speed can also be changed directly by entering the requested speed
set-point with the alphanumerical keypad.

The first columns contain the error number (please state the error
number in case you contact our service department), time and date
of the occurrence of the error.
The last column contains information about the error in plain text.
The "|" symbol is followed by a description of the cause of the error
(circuit breaker, limit switch ...) and the PLC address of the
associated input.
By pressing the "ESC" key you can acknowledge an error and minimize the
error message window. The fault message itself will not be reset. A “!” symbol in
the upper right corner of the screen flashes as an indication that a fault is still
pending.
After the reason for the error message has been cleared, the fault message can
be reset by pressing function key F24. The screen returns to its normal state.
In case several errors are pending simultaneously, the number of existing error
messages is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. By using the
"cursor up/down" keys you can browse through the different error messages.

The blue area in the upper right corner indicates the actual speed of the
machine in large digits; the smaller ones indicate the nominal speed. The speed
can be modified directly by entering the speed set-point with the alphanumerical
keypad.

The operating condition of the machine is indicated by a icon in the lower right
corner:
The machine is being jogged. The number displayed in the lower part of the
icon shows the last block that is moving.
Not all of the selected blocks are in operation. The speed is therefore limited as
this usually only happens during string-up the machine
Limit 1 of the vibration control (spooler or coiler) has been exceeded. The
speed will not be increased any further.
Limit 2 of the vibration control (spooler or coiler) has been exceeded. The
speed will be decreased.
The frequency converters are being initialised and pre-charged. This is a typical
state after an emergency stop. Depending on the converter, this state lasts for
15s to 30s.

If the machine is used with very low reductions or if blocks are skipped, the
speed increases towards the wire inlet. Therefore, after the drawing sequence
has been entered, the PLC calculates the maximum speed at which not a single
block will turn faster than 100%. In case of drawing die deviations, however,
individual blocks may turn slightly faster than 100%. A speed buffer of 10% is
provided for this reason. When a motor is turning faster than 100% the bar
graph is changing it's color from green to red.

Figure 15 shows the relation between motor rpm and available torque.
Up to the nominal rpm (name plate value) of the motor, the full nominal torque is
available. Above that value, the torque decreases. Only 50% of the nominal
torque is available, in case the motor is turning with a rpm that is twice of the
nominal rpm.
This is used to achieve a high torque at a lower speeds for large finish
diameters. For smaller finish diameters, however, the lower torque is sufficient
even at higher speeds.
The bar-graph shows the actual power of the motor as a percentage of the
nominal power.

In case the first temperature limit is exceeded, the machine will ramp down.
In case the second limit is exceeded, an external fault condition for the
frequency-converter is triggered and the machine will stop with a quick stop.

6.2.1 Quick menu function key F11: overhead block / OTO block
The actual amount of wire wraps accumulated on the overhead block / OTO
block is indicated both graphically as a bar graph and numerically behind the
question mark (?).
The desired number of wraps = target level has to be entered in the input field
behind the exclamation mark (!). A change of the target level also changes the
scaling of the bar-graph. The maximum value of the bar-graph equals 125 % of
the target level.
When the number of wire wraps on the OTO block is falling below the target level, the color
of the bar-graph is changing its color from green to orange. In this case the OTO block will
increase its speed by approximately 15% to reach the target level again.
36 of 48
KP700
When the number of wire wraps on the OTO block is falling below the programmed
minimum level (typically 40 wraps), the color of the bar-graph is changing its color from
orange to red. The machine will stop. To restart the machine, the accumulation control
switch of the OTO block has to be turned to the off position. The switch has to stay in this
position as long as the actual number of wraps is below the the minimum level. The
machine will run for safety reasons with a reduced speed and the operator should watch
pay-off, snarl switch (loop catcher) and OTO block. After the minimum level has been
reached, the accumulation control switch has to be turned to the on positon again.
To do so, press and hold the red OFF push button at the OTO block and – at
least 0.5 seconds later – turn the accumulation control switch from "ON" to
"OFF".

The shift counters counts length and weight separately, so that a change of the
finish diameter does not distort the result of the weight counter.
During a shift change all values in the column "actual period" are copied to the
column "last period" depending of the selection, when the copy process should
actually happening (selections available: daily, weekly or monthly). At the same
time all values in the column "actual period" are set to zero. The line with the
active shift is highlighted green.

The length counter calculates depending of current speed and deceleration time, when the
machine has to ramp down to reach the exact target length. This guarantees that each spool
has the same length without having the operator to correct the target length manually in case of
changes of the actual speed.

Figure 28:
The line marked “-1” indicates the length and weight of the last spool.
The line marked “-2” indicates the length and weight of the second-last spool.
The line marked “-3” indicates the length and weight of the third-last spool.
The line marked “∑- x” indicates the total length and weight of the fourth-last
and all spools previous the fourth-last spool. This line also includes the number
of produced spools.
The line marked “∑” indicates the total, including the spool in production. In this
case the spool in production is still classified as a scrap spool due to the fact
that it hasn’t yet reached the defined threshold level. This will change as soon
as the filling percentage is higher than the threshold level.
However, the operator can change the classification of the last three spools
manually in case that there was a problem with the quality of the produced wire,
for example scratches, diameter out of tolerance …
Using the function keys F14, F15 and F16 the classification can be changed in
both directions, i.e. spools that are not sufficiently filled can be re-classified from
“scrap” to “good”.
When starting a new job, the job counter can be reset to zero by pressing the
keys F11 and F12 simultaneously.
The password for “User 1” has to be entered for any changes of the last two
operations
