WinMark Pro tracking setup
Product Line Speed
When Encoderless Tracking is enabled (set to Yes), enter a Product Line Speed value (in the selected
units of measure) that is equal to conveyor or part velocity. Adjust Product Line Speed as required to
fine-tune tracking to actual part movement.
Internal Part Trigger
When operating FH Flyer in applications where it is not possible to sense individual pieces, for example
in a continuous web process, use the Internal Part Trigger property to create an internal part sense signal.
When Internal Part Trigger is enabled (set to Yes), FH Flyer generates an internal trigger signal at the
distance interval specified by the Part Pitch property.
Allow External Part Trigger
When Allow External Part Trigger is Yes, use an external signal on input IN0 to place a mark on a specific
area of a web with the location of subsequent marks determined by the Part Pitch property. Set to No to
ignore all signals on IN0. When Internal Part Trigger is No, this property is ignored.
The Allow External Part Trigger property will not delay the first mark beyond the point where the
distance interval defined by Part Pitch is reached. Allow External Part Trigger is designed to allow exact
placement of the first mark at any point before the specified Part Pitch distance is matched. Thereafter,
marking is controlled by Internal Part Trigger signals based on the Part Pitch distance.
Important Note: When the Allow External Part Trigger property is set to Yes, a signal applied to
input IN0 at any time will initiate a mark.
Part Pitch
When Internal Part Trigger is enabled (set to Yes), enter a Part Pitch value in the selected units of mea-
sure. Part Pitch (or Mark Pitch)—defined as the distance, in the axis of part motion, from the leading edge
of the Mark on one part to the leading edge of the Mark on the following part—determines where the
Mark is placed on the product.
Mark Count
(On the Drawing object’s Marking tab)
In WinMark control mode, set Mark Count to ‘1’ in situations where FH Flyer must track continuously
(mark unlimited parts in a single mark session). To track continuously in Flyer Stand-alone mode, set the
Mark Count property to ‘0’.
