Introduction
Congratulations for choosing a BTSR product.
With our SMART MATRIX WARP yarn control system, you got an innovative, unique solution, which offers
you multiple advantages concerning the quality control of your production.
SMART MATRIX WARP has been designed for applications on large warping machines that use in
continuous mode a large number of yarns (thousands) during the entire working cycle.
SMART MATRIX WARP , combined with either IS3 yarn control sensors or TS5/TS7 tension sensor,
represents a complete and effective machine control system.
The SMART MATRIX WARP system has been developed by BTSR International S.p.A. to make easier and
optimize:
•
The sensor programming,
•
The system configuration,
•
The production monitoring.
The system is capable of self-learning the yarn sequence used by the textile machine during a sample cycle
(LEARN) and to indicate any type of error detected during the subsequent production cycles (broken or
missing yarns, uncut yarns, threading or pick-up errors, excessive or insufficient yarn tension, etc.).
The availability of a “User Friendly” graphic interface allows you to quickly and intuitively program all the
operating parameters of
IS3/TS5/TS7 sensors; in addition, it provides a real time monitoring of sensors
behavior and production efficiency.
Manual Objectives
This manual has been written to provide the users of SMART MATRIX WARP system with the essential
information required to:
•
Correctly install and connect the various system components (SMART MATRIX terminal, SM-DIN
WARP Boards, IS3 or TS5/TS7 sensors, ACT/D lamp interface modules, etc.)
•
Configure the system according to the application needs and setup the various operation
parameters .
•
Detect and interpret the error signaling and system efficiency data
•
Use the diagnostics maintenance and utility functions offered by the system (system component
test, firmware upgrading, etc.).
