3.2 Function
With web edge guiding or web center-line guiding in automatic
mode, one or two edge sensors connected to the controller detect
the current position (ACTUAL position) of the material web and
transmit the respective information to the integrated position
controller.
With line and contrast guiding, the sensor CLS Pro 600 detects the
current position (ACTUAL position) of a line or contrast transition
on the material web and transmits the respective information to
the position controller.
The position controller compares the ACTUAL recorded position
against the predetermined SETPOINT position. The controller will
send a relevant correction signal to the actuator if a deviation is
found to exist between the two values. The actuator will move the
guiding device (rotating frame guide or swivel roll guide) until the
material web returns to its SETPOINT position.

3.3 Guiding Modes

The controller permits the following web guiding modes:
■ Web edge guiding
(guiding to the right or the left web edge)
■ Web center-line guiding
■ Guiding on continuous or interrupted printed lines
(in conjunction with the CLS Pro 600 line and contrast sensor)
■ Guiding on continuous or interrupted contrast edges
(in conjunction with the CLS Pro 600 line and contrast sensor)
■ Watchdog
Guiding to a printed line or contrast edge with automatic
switching to web edge guiding when the printed line / contrast
edge is interrupted or lost
3.4 Special Guiding and Monitoring Functions

For applications with special requirements on the web guiding
system the ekr 500 digital Unit Touch controller offers a range of
special guiding and monitoring functions.
3.4.1 Watchdog
The Watchdog function is used to prevent the web from wander-
ing after the total loss of the printed line or contrast transition
during line or contrast guiding. If the printed line or the contrast
transition disappear from the scanning area of the line and con-
trast sensor (e.g. if the print is not carried out, a poor splice or
similar), the current web position is detected by the edge sensor
(capture sensor) and saved by the controller. Then the controller
will switch over from the line and contrast sensor (Sensor 3) to the
edge sensor (Sensor 1 or Sensor 2) used. Switching back to the line
and contrast sensor is carried out automatically immediately after
re-detecting the printed line or the contrast transition.
For a detailed description of this function, see chapter Watchdog,
page 68.
3.4.2 Speed Dependent Guiding

In automatic operating mode, the speed-dependent guiding
ensures for an optimum guiding behaviour even at low machine
speeds. For this purpose the control of the actuator is limited
automatically below an adjustable speed range. This prevents
overloading of the controller and oscillation of the guiding device.
For a detailed description of this function, see chapter Speed-
Dependent Guiding, page 71.

3.4.3 Oscillation
The oscillation is used, for example, for the rewinding of tubular
films or for materials with an irregular thickness profile in order to
avoid poor winding. The function enables the controlled transverse
displacement of the web of material with an adjustable amplitude
(size of the displacement) and frequency (speed of the displace-
ment). You can choose from a triangular or sinus oscillation curve.
For a detailed description of this function, see chapter Oscillation,
page 77.
3.4.4 Speed-Dependent Oscillation

In this special type of oscillation the oscillation frequency is auto-
matically adjusted to the web speed. This means that the oscilla-
tion frequency rises with the increasing web speed. This ensures
that the ratio between oscillation frequency and web feed rate
remains constant.
For a detailed description of this function, see chapter Speed-
Dependent Oscillation, page 83.
3.4.5 Master-Slave Guiding

The Master-Slave guiding is used when two material webs have to
be guided together precisely to the edge (laminating control).
In doing so, the positions of both material webs are detected by
two edge sensors or two CCD cameras.
For a detailed description of this function, see chapter Master-
Slave Guiding, page 72.
3.4.6 Tear-Off Detection

The Tear-Off Detection is used for the web edge guiding with CCD
camera if, during operation of the web guiding system, material
defects (tear-off) are to be expected on the web edges to be
scanned. When a tear-off is detected, the web guiding system is
blocked automatically for the pre-selected blocking time. The
function detects both tears into the material web (inward tear) as
well as projecting material (outward tear).
For a detailed description of this function, see chapter Tear-Off
Detection, page 75.

3.4.7 Web Width Measurement

The web width measurement enables a continuous monitoring of
the material width during the production process. In this manner,
tendency toward deviation in the material width can be detected
early.
The function continuously measures the width of the web of
material and compares the calculated value to the preset target
width. The web width measured is shown in the display of the
control panel. If the web width measured is less or more than the
warning or error limit set by the operator, it is displayed. The
controller provides digital message outputs for the warning and
error limits.
For a detailed description of this function, see chapter Web Width
Measurement, page 86.
3.4.8 Line Width Measurement

The line width measurement enables a continuous monitoring of
the width of a printed line during the production process. In doing
so, the line is scanned by a BST eltromat CLS Pro 600 line and con-
trast sensor.
The function continuously measures the width of the printed line
and compares the calculated value to the preset target width.
The line width measured is shown in the display of the control
panel. If the line width measured is less or more than the warning
or error limit set by the operator, it is displayed. The controller
provides digital message outputs for the warning and error limits.
For a detailed description of this function, see chapter Line Width
Measurement, page 94.

3.5 Motorized Sensor Positioning
3.5.1 Sensor Positioner

The ekr 500 digital Unit Touch controller has a connection for a
motorized FVG POS 100 sensor positioner. The sensor positioner
enables the motorized positioning of the edge sensors connected
(Sensor 1, Sensor 2).
If the installation position of the sensor is hard to access or the
position of the sensor has to be changed frequently due to chan-
ging web widths, the sensor positioner is used to position the
sensor across the web running direction. In Automatic mode, the
sensor slide runs towards the web of material until the sensor has
detected a web edge (automatic edge detection).
For a detailed description of the sensor positioner, see the install-
ation and operating manual FVG POS 100, document number
MD.476.
3.5.2 Positioning Unit

The ekr 500 digital Unit Touch controller has connections for two
positioning units. The positioning units enable the motorized
positioning of sensors or tools. The main field of application of the
positioning unit is the motorized positioning of a BST eltromat
CLS Pro 600 line and contrast sensor (Sensor 3) across the web
running direction in slitter-winders.
ging web widths, the motorized positioning unit is used to position
the sensor across the web running direction. The sensor slide of
the positioning unit is moved to the desired position using the
arrow keys of the ekr commander control panel of the controller.
There are two speed levels to choose from for the rough and fine
positioning of the sensor.
For a detailed description of the positioning unit, see chapter Posi-
tioning Unit, page 101.

5 Operation
5.9.5 Entering an Offset Value for the Guiding Setpoint

The offset value for the guiding setpoint is used for web center-
line-guiding with CCD camera when the CCD camera is mounted in
the machine off-center, but the material web should be guided
through the machine in the middle.
Center

CCD camera
Machine frame
Offset
Material web
Machine center
Fig. 29: Off-center assembly of the CCD camera
Problem If the value "0" is set on the controller for the guiding setpoint,
the material web will be guided to the center of the camera
measuring range. Due to the off-center assembly of the CCD
camera, a difference (offset) results between the center of the
camera measuring range and the machine center. This difference
results in that with the set guiding setpoint "0", the material web
does not run in the middle of the machine.
Objective If the guiding setpoint on the controller is set to the value "0", the
material web should run exactly in the middle of the machine.
Solution On the controller, an offset value is entered that corresponds with

the difference between the center of the camera measuring range
and the machine center.
Procedure
›› The material web is pulled into the machine.
1. Activate the Web center-line guiding mode.
2. Activate Automatic operating mode.
3. Move the guiding setpoint of the material web using both

arrow keys in such a manner that the web runs exactly in the
middle of the machine.
A value unequal "0" (in the example "-500") is shown for the
guiding setpoint in the display of the controller.

center.
4. Enter the displayed value for the guiding setpoint (in the
example "-500") as offset value on the controller (parameter
setpoint offs. Cam M12 of the public parameter list 0, see
Parameter List 0, page 126). Note the prefix sign!
5. Activate the offset value on the controller (parameter setp-offs.
Cam M12 act. = 1).
After activating the offset value, the controller uses the value
entered to compensate the deviation between the center of the
camera measuring range and the machine center. If the guiding
setpoint is set to the value "0", the material web runs exactly
through the middle of the machine.

5.10 Optimizing the Controller Gain

You use this function to set the gain for the different guiding
modes. The controller gain is normally set once during commis-
sioning. If control oscillations occur during operation (the guiding
device trembles), the controller gain has to be optimized.
You have to set the gain for each guiding mode separately.

5.11 Special Guiding and Monitoring Functions
5.11.1 Watchdog
5.11.1.1 Function
The Watchdog function is used to prevent the web from wander-
ing after the total loss of the printed line or contrast transition
during line or contrast guiding. If the printed line or the contrast
transition disappear from the scanning area of the line and con-
trast sensor (e.g. if the print is not carried out, a poor splice or
similar), the current web position is detected by the edge sensor
(capture sensor) and saved by the controller. Then the controller
will switch over from the line and contrast sensor (Sensor 3) to the
edge sensor (Sensor 1 or Sensor 2) used. Switching back to the line
and contrast sensor is carried out automatically immediately after
re-detecting the printed line or the contrast transition. When the
Watchdog function is activated, the scanning area of the capture
sensor is limited to 80%.
5.11.1.2 Requirements
The following requirements must be fulfilled for operating the
Watchdog function:
■ A CLS Pro 600 line and contrast sensor is connected to the
controller.
■ At least one edge sensor is connected to the controller.
■ The edge sensor (capture sensor) is arranged at the same
height or behind the line and contrast sensor in the web
running direction (see Figure).

Operation 5
5.11.1.3 Before switching on

Before switching on the Watchdog function for the first time, the
following preparation measures must be carried out:
► Carry out separate commissioning for the guiding with the
CLS Pro 600 line and contrast sensor and the guiding with the
edge sensor (capture sensor).
► Carry out the material setup for the edge sensor.
► Carry out the setup for the CLS Pro 600 line and contrast sensor
(see separate operating instructions Line and contrast sensor
CLS Pro 600, EDP no. MD.323).
► Optimize the controller gain for both sensors.
When the Watchdog function is active, changes to the

controller gain are only effective on the CLS Pro 600 line
and contrast sensor.
► Set the guiding setpoint of the CLS Pro 600 line and contrast
sensor to the value 0 (see Switching on the Watchdog, page
69, Step 4).

EFE 1 is connected to the controller then the guiding set-
point must be set to the value 0 using the potentiometer
of the EFE 1 (see Electronic Remote Precision Adjust-
ment (Option), page 123).
5.11.1.4 Switching on the Watchdog

5.11.2 Speed-Dependent Guiding

In automatic operating mode, the speed-dependent guiding
ensures for an optimum guiding behaviour even at low machine
speeds.
If the speed-dependent guiding is activated, a tachometer symbol
appears in the operating display of the actuator. The control of
the actuator is limited automatically below an adjustable speed
range. This prevents overloading of the controller and oscillation
of the guiding device.

5.11.3 Master-Slave Guiding
5.11.3.1 Function
The Master-Slave guiding is used when two material webs have to
be guided together precisely to the edge (laminating control).
In doing so, the positions of both material webs are detected by
two edge sensors or two CCD cameras.
Slave web
Guiding
device
Sensor 2
Master web

Sensor 1
Fig. 34: Functional principle Master-Slave guiding (with edge sensors)
Sensor 1 detects the position of the unguided Master web (guide

web) and sensor 2 the position of the guided Slave web (following
web). If the Master web moves laterally to the web running
direction during production, the control simultaneously guides the
Slave web by the respective adjusting movement of the guiding
device. In this way, the control keeps the distance (offset) of both
web edges constant or ensures that both web edges are positioned
precisely over one another (distance of the web edges = 0).
Master-Slave guiding:
■ Two edge sensors or CCD cameras are connected to the controller.
■ Sensor 1 detects the position of the Master web.
■ Sensor 2 detects the position of the Slave web.
■ A guiding device (e.g. rotating frame guide) guides the Slave web.

5.11.4 Tear-Off Detection
5.11.4.1 Use
The Tear-Off Detection is used for the web edge guiding with CCD
camera if, during operation of the web guiding system, material
defects (tear-off) are to be expected on the web edges to be
scanned. The function detects both tears into the material web
(inward tear) as well as projecting material (outward tear).
Inward

Fig. 37: Tear-off detection with CCD camera
5.11.4.2 Function
With tear-off detection activated, in automatic mode the sensor
value of the CCD camera is read-in at a pre-set time interval
(scanning cycle). If a tear on the web edge occurs in the measuring
range of the CCD camera, the sensor value read in jumps
suddenly. If the change of the sensor value exceeds from one
scanning cycle to the next by a determined minimum value, the
change is detected as tear-off and the web guiding system is
blocked automatically for the pre-selected blocking time. It is
possible to deactivate the tear-off detection after the detection of
a tear-off for a pre-selected period (blocking hold time).

example) due to the lateral displacement (oscillation).
For determining the current edge position an offset value must be
added to the adjusted guiding setpoint.
Oscillation amplitude
Guiding setpoint
Fig. 43: Connection between oscillation amplitude and guiding setpoint
The example illustrated shows the deviation between the current

web edge position and the adjusted guiding setpoint. At the
moment T of the oscillation, the web edge is in position +5.0
although the display continues to show the value +2.5 for the
guiding setpoint.
If the operating mode is changed from Automatic to Manual
mode during the oscillation, the current web position is detected
by the edge sensors and is saved in the controller. After reactiva-
tion of the Automatic mode, the oscillation continues from the
edge position where it was stopped before.
The oscillation can be initialized by switching to the

Center Positioning operating mode. The symbol ①
disappears and the oscillation will be restarted at the
adjusted guiding setpoint (+2.5 in the example).

Operation 5
5.11.6 Speed-Dependent Oscillation
5.11.6.1 Function
In this special type of oscillation the oscillation frequency is auto-
matically adjusted to the web speed. This means that the oscilla-
tion frequency rises with the increasing web speed. This ensures
that the ratio between oscillation frequency and web feed rate
remains constant.
speed-dependent oscillation:
■ A tacho generator that supplies a speed-dependent analogue
signal (0 … 10 V) is connected to the terminals 56 and 57 of the
controller.
5.11.6.3 Selecting the Speed Signal Source

With the following parameters of the public parameter list 2, you
can adapt the speed-dependent oscillation to your individual
application.

5.11.6.4 Switching On the Speed-Dependent Oscillation

Switching on the speed-dependent oscillation and determining
the starting threshold is carried out in the setting menu for the
oscillation.
Fig. 44: Oscillation setting menu
① Switching on the speed-dependent oscillation

② Determining the starting threshold
With the percentage value in the editing field ② you determine
the speed signal level (starting threshold) where the oscillation is
started. If the speed signal level is less than the preset percentage,
there is no oscillation. This prevents the oscillation from being
carried out even at low machine speeds. When using a tacho
generator that supplies a speed signal even if the machine is
stopped (web speed = 0) for technical reasons (in case of an offset
error for example), the starting threshold can be used to prevent
the oscillation from being started even when the production
machine is at standstill. The starting threshold is entered as a
percentage of the signal level at maximum machine speed.
Example
Speed signal at maximum machine speed 10,000 mV
Set starting threshold > 2%
Speed signal that the oscillation is started > 10,000 mV x 0.02
from = 200 mV

5.11.7 Web Width Measurement
5.11.7.1 Function
The web width measurement with edge sensors or CCD camera(s)
enables a continuous monitoring of the web width during the pro-
duction process.
The function calculates the width of the web of material from the
positions of the two material edges detected by the edge sensors
or CCD cameras of the web guiding system. The material width
calculated is shown in the display of the control panel. If the web
width measured is less or more than the warning or error limit
preset by the operator, it is displayed. The controller provides
digital message outputs for the warning and error limits.
For the web width measurement with edge sensors, two sensors
are used for detecting both material edges regardless of the
material width. For the web width measurement with CCD
camera(s), one or two CCD cameras are used depending on the
maximum material width.

5.12 Sensor Positioner
5.12.1 Utilization
The ekr 500 digital Unit Touch controller has a connection for a
motorized FVG POS 100 sensor positioner. The sensor positioner
enables the motorized positioning of the edge sensors connected
(Sensor 1, Sensor 2).
Fig. 51: ekr 500 digital Unit Touch controller with FVG POS 100 sensor positioner

ging web widths, the sensor positioner is used to position the
sensor across the web running direction. In Automatic mode, the
sensor slide runs towards the web of material until the sensor has
detected a web edge (automatic edge detection).
For a detailed description of the sensor positioner, see the install-
ation and operating manual FVG POS 100, document number
MD.476.

Operation 5
5.12.2 Operation Display

The operation displays for the sensor positioner appears only if
the FVG POS 100 sensor positioner is connected to the controller.

5 Operation
5.12.3 Operation
5.12.3.1 Retract Mode

With the retract mode, you specify at which operating mode
changes the sensor positioner sensor slides should run to their
park position (outer end position). The following retract modes
can be selected:
Retract Mode Sensor Slide Behaviour
Upon switching to the Center positioning
Center positioning operating mode, the sensor slides run to the
park position.
Upon switching to the Manual mode
Manual mode operating mode, the sensor slides run to the
park position.
You can activate one of the two retract modes or both retract
modes.
For activating the retract mode see installation and commissioning
manual ekr 500 digital Unit Touch, document number MD.497.
If the sensor positioner is used in combination with a line and
contrast sensor (Sensor 3), the sensor slides automatically run to
their park position if the guiding mode is switched to line/contrast
guiding. The requirement for the retracting of the sensor slides is,
however, that the line or contrast transition which is being used
for guiding lies within the measuring range of Sensor 3.
5.12.3.2 Automatic Setpoint Acceptance

If the Automatic setpoint acceptance function is activated, after
switching to Automatic operating mode, the sensor positioner
carries out an automatic edge detection. In doing so, the sensor
slides of the sensor positioner run towards the web of material
until the sensors have detected a web edge. The position of the
web edge detected is taken over as the setpoint for guiding.
When using a sensor positioner with two sensor slides, the web
detection behaviour depends on the guiding mode selected.
Controller Keys Guiding Mode Sensor Slide Behaviour

The other sensor slide runs to its park position.
Web center-line guiding Both sensor slides carry out the edge detection.
If the guiding mode is changed during Automatic operating mode,

e.g. from the left edge (Sensor 1) to the right edge (Sensor 2), the
controller does not switch to the new guiding mode until the
other sensor has completed the edge detection and the automatic
edge sensor norming (if activated).

Operation 5
For activating the Automatic setpoint acceptance function see

installation and commissioning manual ekr 500 digital Unit Touch,
document number MD.497.

When the function is switched on, the button is displayed with
a blue background.
5.12.3.3 Automatic Edge Sensor Standardization

When processing transparent materials, this standardization
mode is used for the calibration of optical edge sensors (IR 2011,
IR 2012).
During automatic edge sensor standardization, the edge sensors
will be adjusted to the optical properties of the material to be
scanned. For the calibration, the device determines the bright
value (no material in the sensor measuring range) and the dark
value (material in the sensor measuring range).
If the Automatic edge sensor standardization function is activated,
after switching to the Automatic operating mode, the sensor
slides automatically run towards the web edge until the sensor
measuring range is completely covered. The dark value is saved.
Then the sensor slides run back until the web edge is located in
the middle of the sensor measuring range.
For activating the Automatic edge sensor standardization function
see installation and commissioning manual ekr 500 digital Unit
Touch, Document number MD.497.
