Functional Safety
The guarding circuit comprises of emergency stop-buttons and non-contact safety switches.
Each of these devices is wired to a master safety relay. The functional safety of the machine
conforms to performance level d as defined in BS EN ISO 13849-1. Should the guard circuit
become open all motive power throughout the machine will be removed and operations will be
suspended until the safe restart conditions are met and the system reset button is pressed.
All guard switches are secured using anti-tamper fasteners. Only competent, qualified
engineering personnel should remove and replace guard switches using the correct tool.
All the safety peripherals must be active when machine power is enabled.
Prior to machine operation:

• Check the guard switch circuit integrity by opening each guard interlocked door and
ensuring that the safety relay de-energises.
To aid fault finding the HMI screen will provide a visual display of which guard is open.

sealing, to allow gas/ vacuum to be introduced.
Continuous Gas On or Off When the seal cycle is set to Gas Flush, this feature
keeps the gas valve open after the gas time has elapsed,
until the seal actuator has moved to its fully extended
position. Used to maximise gas content and reduce cycle
time.
Gas Flush time 0 – 10s The time that the seal actuator remains at the vac/ gas
stall height with the gas valve open to introduce modified
atmosphere to the packs. Applies only to gas flush seal
cycles.
Gas Flush Early On or Off When the seal cycle is set to Gas Flush, this feature
opens the gas valve before the gas stall position is
reached. This can be used to reduce cycle time.
Gas Early Position 0-180mm When Gas Flush Early is on, this is the position of the
seal actuator at which the gas valve is opened.
Gas Pressure 20 – 1000mbar When the seal cycle is set to Vac/Gas, this is the gas
pressure set-point. After vacuum, the gas valve is opened
until this pressure is achieved, then the seal commences.
Cool Time 0 – 10s The time that the seal actuator pauses at the Vac/Gas
position, after the seal has completed. Can be used to
allow film adhesive to cure. A value of 0 disables this

Wrap Error wrapped around the film feed roller.
Film Length Set Up
The film length parameter is crucial to the correct and efficient performance of the heat sealing
process. The film should stop where the corners of the last impression of the skeletal waste sit
on the film spreader. This will tension the film in the direction of the arrows and prevent any
wrinkling or creasing of the film under the heat sealing tool before for the next seal cycle.
A film length which is too short will potentially cause creasing and snapping of the film.
A film length which is too long may cause film creasing but and result in excessive film waste.
The image below shows how the film should be positioned after a seal cycle and film feed.

Engineer’s Tray Spacing Set Up
Setting
Range
Conveyor Speed 1-7 Selects the speed at which the infeed and spacing belts run at.
Tray Pitch 0- The distance between leading edges of adjacent trays on the
1000mm spacing belt. Correct setting matches the tray separation to the
tooling arms, giving smooth pack transfer.
Tray Position 0- The distance from the trailing edge of the final tray on the spacing
1000mm belt to the gap between spacing and infeed belts. Correct setting
matches the position of trays on the spacing belt to the tooling arms,
giving smooth pack transfer.
Tray Length 0- The length of a tray, as measured at the height of the tray sensor.
1000mm Correct setting ensures reliable tray spacing and enables the
machine to stop automatically when an incorrect pack is detected.
Tray Tolerance 0-200mm The allowed tolerance in the measured tray length. Trays measured
outside the tolerance range trigger a machine stop and a “Tray
Length Error”.
Max Stroke On or Off Increases carriage stroke by 70mm, allowing Max Stroke tooling to
be used, on machines that have been made “Max Stroke Ready”.
Centre Beam 23- On twin lane machines, this adjusts the height of the centre beam
Height 103mm that separates front and rear spacing belts. Correct setting to match
pack height gives smooth pack transfer.
Reflex Tool On or Off Reflex Tools have a larger gap between the two central packs (to
accommodate restrictions in the film printing process). Enabling this
setting causes the machine to move a different Tray Pitch distance
between the two central packs.
Reflex Distance 5-100mm When using a Reflex Tool, this is the distance moved on the spacing
belt between the two central packs, instead of the standard Tray
Pitch distance.
Jaws Pre-Close On or Off Jaws Pre-Close enables the jaws to move to a position as close as
possible to the packs on the spacing belt, whilst they are being
spaced, so that when a full set of packs is present and the jaws
close, they travel a shorter distance than if they were starting from a
fully open position. This can help to maximise throughput by
reducing cycle time.
Pre-Close 40-179° The position that the jaws move to whilst trays are spacing, prior to
Position closing around a full set of packs. 180°= jaws fully open, 0°= jaws

The tray parameters to suit a new tool are as follows:
TRAY PITCH
The sensor detected distance between 2

trays to achieve the correct spacing on the
stepping belt to suit the tool.
TRAY PITCH
TRAY POSITION
The sensor detected distance between the
back edge of the last tray and the transition
point of the mid-belt and stepping belt
conveyors.
This ensures the spaced trays are correctly
TRAY POSITION position on the stepping conveyor prior to
being transferred.
TRAY LENGTH
Tray length is the sensor detected distance

between the tray leading and trailing edges.
TRAY LENGTH
• The value for trays with the same top out but different depths will normally
change as the tray size at the measured point changes.
• These values may need to be adjusted for a machine to run at its optimum due to:
type and weight of product; tray shape; transfer speed etc.

ProPosition (Optional)
This function automates the tray spacing set up using the machine functionality.
Set up is now a simple one-step process with easy to follow on screen instructions, thus
removing potential operator error possible with the previous process.

correctly through the tool.
Once the film has been threaded adjust the film tension. Tension should be as tight as
possible without causing the film to stretch.

21. MACHINE CLEANING
Effective cleaning and sanitation of the machine is required to achieve the correct level of
hygiene and performance in food production. If these are not adhered to there is a greater risk
of food becoming contaminated.
It is recommended that the machine is cleaned at each product change and at the end of each
shift. The following information should be used in conjunction with the site methods to achieve
the required hygiene standard. Cleaning solutions should be applied as per to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Under no circumstances should the Proseal machine be
subjected to high pressure hoses.
Before cleaning the machine carry out the following procedures:
1. Isolate the electrical supply to the machine

2. Remove any product or packaging.
3. Fully close all enclosures and cubicle doors.
4. If the machine has any auto tool locking features set the tool lock to “OFF” before
isolating the power supply.
5. Remove all tooling.
6. Remove top tool and place in a safe place such as a dry room where the tool can be
cleaned and serviced without risking damage to the electrical components.
7. Cover all sensors.
8. Cover any gas and vacuum ports.
9. Open all interlocked guards to gain access areas of the machine which require
cleaning.
The machine can be divided into 2 sections to enable the machine to be cleaned safely and
effectively.
Above the conveyor line

This is an area where under normal conditions the machine should only require cleaning with a
soft damp cloth or sanitised wipes. This area normally contains all the major electrical
components which should not be subjected to any pressure hosing.
Below the conveyor line

This is an area which can be subjected to low pressure hosing to remove contamination.
Before using a hose or foaming agents this area should be rinsed and cleaned manually to
ensure any food or packaging material is removed which hosing or cleaning agents may not
remove.
Rinse any areas which have been subject to cleaning agents to remove residues which could
degrade machine components such as bearings; seals etc.
Cover the gas flush and any other ports in this area before cleaning.

Appendix C – Systems Set-Up Documents
29.3.1 To set up a Mitsubishi D700 inverter (Ref MAP009)
Prior to commissioning or following component replacement it will be necessary to set up the

inverter. Working through the following procedure will set up the inverters.
Connect the motor and other ancillary cabling.
Ensure that the inverter is powered up – the safety interlock must be engaged.
Press the ‘Run Stop’ button to ensure that the inverter is not running.
Press the ‘Mode’ key to enter parameterisation mode ‘P 0’ is displayed.
Turn the dial until desired parameter appears, press the ‘Set’ key to show present setting, turn
the setting dial to change value and Press the ‘Set’ button to complete setting.
When all parameters are set, press the mode button until ‘0.00’ is displayed.
Using the tables found in the specific manual, set the listed parameters. Once completed run
the inverter at the various required speeds and acceleration/deceleration profiles. Ensure
smooth movement throughout the speed range.

29.3.2 To set up a reg film sensor (Ref MAP011)
Ensure that the two dipswitches (under the sensor cover) are set as follows on the
registered film sensor and on the print sensor. The dipswitches are set by the
manufacturer before delivery to Proseal.

29.3.3 Pot Crush Fibre Optic Sensor Set-up (Ref MAP012)
Ensure that the following is set
Press the down arrow button until 20 is displayed in green.
Press the L/D button
Press the down arrow button until d-on is displayed (this is setting the sensor into dark
mode (the sensor should be on when the beam is interrupted, also note that the PLC
input goes off when the LED is on)
Ensure selector switch is set to ‘SEL’ and not ‘M’
To adjust the sensitivity/intensity of the amp, hold mode button for 2 seconds then use
the up/down arrows to scroll between settings.

29.3.4 Procedure for setting up eWON V5 (Ref MAP015)
Software required - ebuddy

Before configuring the eWON unit, the customer needs to make sure the unit will be able to
make an outgoing connection on port TCP443 on their network. Outgoing connections on port
UDP 1194 are helpful, but not essential. Note – the WAN (customer’s) IP and our LAN IP
addresses must be on different ranges (i.e. the first three numbers of the IP addresses must
not be identical). As standard, the IP addresses of the Proseal machine LAN are in the range
192.168.1.x. If this clashes with the customer’s WAN IP address range, then the Proseal LAN
IP address range must be changed to 192.168.2.x
Ensure that an activation key is available. If the eWON is being setup for the first time a
Proseal Systems Engineer will need to register the eWON on eCatcher and issue the
activation key. If an eWON is being replaced the activation key can be taken from the existing
eWON or can be reissued by a Proseal Systems Engineer. The activation key will be required
when setting up or changing an eWON.
To be done on site
• Connect to one of the LAN ports on the eWON unit with a standard patch cable.
• Open ebuddy. Go to view and select list mode.
• Go to tools/set IP address.
• Select browse to search for the connected Ewon.
• Set the IP Address to 192.168.1.2 (this is the local area IP address)
• When operation has completed close ebuddy
• Connect to one of the LAN ports on the eWON unit with a standard patch cable.
• Open ebuddy. Change view to list mode
• Highlight connected eWON, right click and select open in browser
• Default username adm password adm
• Go to configuration
• Enter to wizard (this is the ‘?’ icon on the right)
• Select configure internet connection.
• Select Ethernet wan connection and tick initialize configuration first.

• If the customer has provided the necessary information, select “Static” in the drop down
box, and enter the following info, provided by the customer:
•
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Primary DNS
Secondary DNS
• If the customer cannot provide the network settings for a static IP address, in the drop down
box select “DHCP”. This will grey out the IP address fields and automatically detect its
network settings.
• Ensure “connect to talk2m through proxy” is not ticked. Click next.
• Tick “maintain connection”, then next.
• Click “Test” to test online address. The test may not be successful, but this is not
necessary, continue to the next step:
• Go to system setup/general/general/reboot. Click on reboot.
• “Reboot will occur message” will be shown
• Go to wizard (this is the ‘?’ icon on the right) if this does not open then the reboot is still in
progress, wait 2 minutes then try again until wizard opens.
• Go to talk 2m connectivity. Select Talk2m Pro and enter account name proseal1
• Click next
• Register with activation key.
• Enter activation key, click next.
• Ignore proxy settings and click next.
• Unit should now test its online address and will be configured for use.

Troubleshooting
On some occasions setting up the eWON's internet connectivity will fail. If this happens, a
program called “Talk2M Connection Checker” can be used to try and diagnose whether the
eWON has connectivity to the internet. “Talk2M Connection Checker” can be found here
P:\Systems\Global Documentation\Ewon
To use “Talk2M Connection Checker” follow these steps.
• Change the laptops network connection to automatically detect settings.

• Plug in the network cable from the customers network (this would normally connect into the
WAN port of the eWON) into the laptop.
• Open the “Talk2M Connection Checker” program
• Click on ‘Check Talk2m Connectivity’. The program will now check if a valid internet
connection is available.
If the response from “Talk2M Connection Checker” is ‘Connection OK’, it means that there is a
valid internet connection available for the eWON to connect to talk2m. If the response from
“Talk2M Connection Checker” is ‘Failed to connect to talk2m server’ then there is an issue with
the connection.
This connection issue could be caused by a number of factors.
• The other end of the cable is not physically connected to the customer network
• The required port (TCP 443) has not been opened
• The connection goes through a proxy server and proxy information needs to be used
• The customers firewall is blocking the connection
If an internet connection test using “Talk2M Connection Checker” fails, the above points will
need to be checked with the customer’s IT department.

29.3.5 Phase Monitor Set-Up (If Fitted) (Ref MAP016)
Some machines are fitted with Siemens 3UG4616 Phase Monitors to protect them from
damage through faulty electrical supplies. These devices monitor the voltage between the 3
live phases and neutral, and can also be configured to monitor the rotation between the 3 live
phases, to protect phase-sensitive devices such as vacuum pumps.
To configure the upper and lower voltage set-points, TAP the return button, then use the up
and down arrows to alter the lower voltage set-point. Then, tap the return button again to
access the upper voltage set-point adjustment. Tap the return button to exit back to run mode.
To configure the other parameters of the device, press and hold the return button for more
than 2 seconds. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the settings and tap return to scroll
between parameters. Once set up, press and hold return for more than 2 seconds to return to
run mode. See table below for a list of standard settings.
When in run mode, the voltages between the 3 phases and neutral can be viewed in turn by
using the up and down buttons.
Siemens 3UG4616 Phase Monitor Standard Settings

Parameter Setting

Phase Monitor Errors (If Fitted)
If a problem with the electrical supply is detected, the phase monitor will shut off the electrical
supply to the machine, and display one of the following symbols:
Neutral Fault
Phase Rotation Fault
Undervoltage
Overvoltage

29.3.6 Network connections (Ref MAP017)
To connect to an external device such as a HMI screen, the PC network settings must be
correctly configured. The standard IP address of the HMI screen is 192.168.1.1 but
sometimes, when an eWON is fitted, the IP address of the screen may be changed so that it
does not conflict with the customer’s network. When connecting a laptop to the HMI it is
necessary for the IP address to be on the same range as the screen.
For example-
If the screen IP address is 192.168.1.1 the laptop could be set to 192.168.1.10
If the screen has been changed to 192.168.2.62 the laptop could be set to 192.168.2.10
When connecting a laptop to the HMI it is also necessary for the last set of digits in the IP
address to be different.
For example-
If the screen IP address is 192.168.1.1 the laptop could be set to 192.168.1.10
The IP address is shown on the HMI during the booting up procedure of the screen, if the IP
address is unknown cycle the power of the machine and wait for the IP address to be
displayed.

file and once the HMI has been sent to the HMI Recipe From File can be selected to
write the recipes back to the screen.
When the project has opened go to Project -> Download.

The software will then save the project and then display a pop up window. If the HMI is
connected correctly it will be displayed in the Connected targets window and by double
clicking this in the window it will enter the target I.P. address of the screen. If the
Connected targets window is blank check the connection between the laptop and HMI.
Ensure Download all source code (for later upload) is checked and select Download.
When downloading an HMI program to an existing screen that already has security
information the screen may display a Target files update confirmation window. Ensure
that the existing target files are ticked before selecting OK.
The HMI program will then be loaded in to the HMI. Remember to select Recipe
From File to restore the recipes in the screen.

To verify the program open in the software with the program in the HMI
When the project has opened go to Project -> Download.
The software will then save the project and then display a pop up window. If the HMI is
connected correctly it will be displayed in the Connected targets window and by double
clicking this in the window it will enter the target I.P. address of the screen. If the
Connected targets window is blank check the connection between the laptop and HMI.
Select Verify to check the program in the HMI matches the program in the laptop.

If the program in the HMI matches the program in the program in the laptop the
following screen will appear.
If the program in the HMI does NOT match the program in the program in the laptop the
following screen will appear.

To upload program from iX HMI
Open iX Developer and select Upload from target.
If the HMI is connected correctly it will be displayed in the Connected targets window
and by double clicking this in the window it will enter the target I.P. address of the
screen. If the Connected targets window is blank check the connection between the
laptop and HMI. Select Upload to begin uploading the program from the HMI.

Select a destination folder in the window that appears and click OK.
If an information window appears stating ‘Not found. No compressed file was found on
