2 Description of theequipment
2.1 Main parts

FLUO LM2 has 2 main parts

1- LM2-type TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER SENSOR BAR

2- B016 CONTROL BOARD for FLUO LM2 sensor

FLUO LM2 SENSOR

FLUO LM2 sensor is made of 2 parallel bars between which slides the fabric.
The distance between the bars is fixed, but the mechanical length and the inner
quota that determine the active reading areas are defined based on the final use
of the machine.
One of the two bars is a blinking infra-red light emitter, the other one receives the
light possibly attenuated by the fabric sliding between the tubes.
An automatic system determines the intensity of the light through two appropriate
DARK and LIGHT signals, the self-adapting system is suitable for any type of fabric,
ensuring optimal reading.
The reading tube is divided in 2 parts: RIGHT and LEFT, the electronic system
determines the direction in which the fabric will be moved and triggers an
adjustment signal proportional with the run-out, allowing the actuators connected
to the adjustment outputs to restore the fabric to its appropriate position.

The maximum length of the cables connecting the FLUO LM2 sensor to the B016
control board is of 10 metres, should you require grater connection distances,
please contact Bianco S.p.A.

CAUTION: FLUO LM2 sensor should be connected to PE (GROUND) using the

appropriate copper strips supplied along with the machine.

CAUTION: The cables used for connecting the sensor tube to the control board are
screened cables, please consult the wiring diagram for their connection.

CAUTION: Make sure that the tube configuration is suitable for installation, the
sensor is available in different covers: polycarbonate or coated in silicone for high
temperatures, you can also choose from several types of side plugs, based on the
necessary IP protection level and on the final installation site.
 ______________________________________________ Page 5 of 11

CONTROL BOARD B016

Control board B016 communicates with FLUO LM2 sensor. with the external
analogue and digital I/O and with the centring adjustment actuators.

CAUTION: Board B016 should be supplied using +24VDC and not 24VAC as for the
previous C212 control board of FLUO LM1 system

2.2 Compatibility with the previous system, FLUO LM1

B016 is an update to the previous C212 board, the analogue functions available on
C212 are now digitally controlled, the new board s more versatile and its
parameters can be customised by the operator.
The best features in C212 can still be found in B016, such as options C366
(advanced adjustment controls) and C216 (board RESET).
B016 also features additional options that help: customising the settings, simplifying
the calibration procedure, connecting to other devices using suitable serial
protocols.
The two boards are not interchangeable as their wirings, supply (C212=24Vac,
B016=+24Vdc) and mechanical fasteners differ completely.
 ______________________________________________ Page 6 of 11

3 Conditions of Use
Make sure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the operating limits set
for the sensor and control panel, make sure that there are no vapours, as they may
affect the measuring or the system performance. If using the machine in humid
environments or if the temperatures do not match the ones intended, please make
sure to use a suitable configuration of FLUO LM2 tube sensor.

4 Operator workstation
Under normal conditions of use, the only task of the operator is to decide whether
to operate the centring system in AUTOMATIC mode or in MANUAL mode using the
keys MAN+/MAN-, and to define the central position of the fabric by setting it using
the BALANCING potentiometer connected to B016 control board.
 ______________________________________________ Page 7 of 11

5 Installation and start-up

CAUTION: Installation operations must be carried out by qualified staff.

5.1 Equipment assembly

5.1.1 Preliminary check

Remove the packaging from the equipment and make sure all parts are intact.
Check if the power supply is suitable.

CAUTION: Board B016 should be supplied using +24VDC and not 24VAC as for the
previous C212 control board of FLUO LM1 system

CAUTION: Make sure that the tube configuration is suitable for installation, the
sensor is available in different covers: polycarbonate or coated in silicone for high
temperatures, you can also choose from several types of side plugs, based on the
necessary IP protection level and on the final installation site.

5.1.2 Anchoring the sensor tube

Fasten FLUO LM2 sensor tube to the machine structure, making sure that the fabric
passes between the tubes without touching them.
If possible, avoid installing the system in places with strong lighting or heating
sources, as they might affect the system performance.

Fasten the pair of sensor tubes using the suitable side brackets and connect the
grounding strips.

5.1.3 Vibrations

Avoid the transmission of harmful vibrations caused by installing incorrectly levelled

devices or by connecting it to other machines using brackets. The vibrations might
harm the measuring and electronic equipment.
 ______________________________________________ Page 8 of 11

5.1.4 Installing the control board

Fasten the control board B016 or the electric panel in which it is placed, connect
the sensor tube, the supplies, and the auxiliary accessories such as potentiometers,
buttons, limit switches, actuators, reference or exchange signals.

CAUTION: Carefully follow the wiring diagram supplied with the machine.

5.1.5 Accessibility

You should be able to open completely the access doors to the control panel in
order to carry out the maintenance operations. You should be able to reach the
sensor upper cover in order to remove it if necessary and access the internal
boards.
The bulbs installed in the control panel should be visible.

5.1.6 Heat sources

Avoid placing the electric cabinet near direct heat sources or vapour jets. Avoid
direct exposure to sunlight.

5.1.7 Cleaning the sensor

Do not use water jets to clean the sensor, unless the tube configuration allows it.

Clean using a wet cloth, do not use solvents as they may dull the protective
covering of the tube.
 ______________________________________________ Page 9 of 11

5.2 Electrical system

5.2.1 Line speed reference

In order to enable some advanced features (RESET and adjustment proportional

with line speed) you should connect the system to a “proximity” PNP-type inductive
sensor in order to detect the belt speed.
Then you should set the suitable parameters in order for B016 control board to
correctly detect the speed, consulting the appropriate sections, that refer to
software use, in this instructions manual.

CAUTION: Place the speed sensor near a drive roller or an idle roller in order to
ensure correct belt speed detection. Do not use the rollers placed in sections with
speed boost settings as the detected data will be distorted.

5.2.2 Exchange of enabling signals and messages to the outside

See the wiring diagram provided with the machine and

the wiring diagrams of the equipment connected to the line in order to plan
and coordinate a correct use of the enabling signals, paying particular
attention to the safety circuits

FLUO LM2 system can communicate with the line on which it is installed,
sharing the adjustment signals, measuring signals, contacts for exceeding set
tolerance thresholds, enabling signals or any other type of signals.
 ______________________________________________ Page 10 of 11

1.3 Main display

By closing the wire bridge B8 RESET while the board is being power supplied or after
performing a RESET, on the display appears a scrolling message featuring the
information below:
The name of the device, the board hardware revision, the software revision, the
date of creation of the software revision.

dd-mm-yyyy FLUOrx
Vz.z
Where:
String Description
represents the issue date for the software version installed on
dd-mm-yyyy
the B016 board
dd=day, mm=month, yyyy=year
represents the hardware revision of the B016 board
x
represents the software version currently installed on B016
z.z
board

This message appears only if no system errors are present, otherwise, it is replaced
by the error description

ErruCC 18.9

For example, string “ErrUCC” indicates that the supply voltage exceeds the limits
24V+/-10%, being of 18.9Vdc.

If an error is detected, besides the error message, LED LD18 (red coloured) will also
switch on

The system continues to display the error message even if the cause of the error
was removed, in order to make it disappear you have to RESET the board.

The system errors that are taken into consideration are indicated below:

1) Supply voltage out of allowed range (< 21.5V and >26.0V)

2) Board B016 temperature out of allowed range (>70°C)
3) The memory where the machine parameters are saved is damaged
4) The memory where the board software is saved is damaged
5) Damage of the system memory

The errors are only displayed, they do not block the machine operation.

1.4 Secondary parameters display

Starting from the main display, you can view certain operation parameters.

By pressing keys“+” or “-“ you can view and scroll through the following
parameters:

rFb 0.83

P
rFa -9.6

+ - -9.6

UPS 24.2
+ -

S°C 45.9

t°C 35.7

Each parameter is alternately displayed, the value of each parameter appears on

the display (blinking).
By pressing key “P” you can keep that specific value steadily lit, to go back to
scrolling display mode, press once again “+” or “-“.

To exit secondary parameters display press at the same time keys “+” and “-“.

Meaning of the secondary data:

Data Description
It represents the difference between the 2 measuring sections
rFb
of the LEFT and RIGHT sensors, when there is no fabric in the
device, a value closer to zero indicates a more accurate
calibration.
It represents the output voltage on RIF+ measuring analogue
rFA
signals, this value takes intro account the set SENSITIVITY level
and the balancing level
It represents the supply voltage of the board B016, expressed
UPS
in volts.
Represents the temperature inside the sensor tube on receiver
S°C
side expressed in °C. The temperature sensor is connected
only in FLUO modules suitable for use at high temperatures; in
standard FLUO the input of the B016 is unused and the data
has no meaning.
It represents the temperature of the environment in which the
t°C
B016 board is installed, expressed in °C

1.6 Description of the machine parameters

There are 3 tables with parameters: “Ins”, “PId” and “ALL”, in the current software
version you can manage only some parameters in the table “Ins”

Parameters in Table “Ins”

Parameter Default Min Max U.f.m. Description
S.n.S. 27,6 0 100 % Reading sensitivity

-.-.-.

(*) = parameter that cannot be managed in the current software version, the
modification of these parameters does not affect the machine operation.

Below are described only the parameters that can be changed:

S.n.S. Reading sensitivity

By increasing the sensitivity you increase the responsiveness of the machine, the
default value of 27.6% represents the standard calibration performed on the
previous version of the sensor, FLUO LM1, based on board C212.

By setting this parameter to 0 the sensitivity data will be diverted to SENS-AN

analogue input, on terminal M4.2, where 0V at input represents 0% and 10.0Vdc at
input represents 100%.

If setting the dip-switch SW2.5 to ON, the sensitivity set for that parameter or for the
external potentiometer will be doubled.

B.I.L. Balancing
The balancing represents the centring offset, if set to 0 the fabric will be kept in the
centre, if set to a different value, the fabric will be kept on a side, at a distance
proportional to the BALANCING value set, the sign of the parameter indicates the
side on which the fabric will be moved.

By setting this parameter to 0 the balancing data will be diverted to BILC-AN

analogue input, on terminal M4.3, where 5.0Vdc at input represents 0%, 0Vdc at
input represents -99% and 10.0Vdc represents +99%.
 ______________________________________________ Page 8 of 13

A.L.L. Alarm threshold

This data represents a threshold beyond which the alarm relay having the output
contacts on terminal M5 will be closed. The value is expressed in millimetres.

The value set is compared to the run-out value indicated by the position of the
“rfB” sensor that can be viewed in “Secondary Parameters” page, this value is not
affected by the values set in parameters SENSITIVITY and BALANCING.

By setting this parameter to 0 the alarm threshold data will be diverted to analogue
input ALARM-AN on terminal M4.6.

The alarm relay will be enabled if the set threshold is exceeded for 1.4 seconds and
disabled if the value falls back within the set range for at least 0.14 seconds.

S.F.I. Number of signal averages

The higher this number, the greater the period of time for which the sampled
signals are averaged in order to detect the run-out data.

The default value 11 copies the reading speed set for the previous sensor, model
FLUO LM1 based on board C212.

It may be useful to increase the number of signal averages when the fabric is not
homogenous, but pay attention, because this modification also decreases the
reading speed and in some cases it might cause oscillations during adjustment.

F.r.q. Impulse regulation period

When switch SW2.3 is set to ON, impulse regulation is activated; this parameter
determines the regulation period for the relative operating mode. The value is
expressed in milliseconds.
When impulse regulation is deactivated, SW2.3 set to OFF, this parameter has no
meaning.

“PID” and “ALL” Tables

In this software version, the tables “PID” and “ALL” do not contain any parameters.

1.7 Sensor tube calibration procedure

The calibration procedure can be enabled by setting the dip-switch SW2.7 to ON,
activating the functions below:

1) The adjustment of the reading contrast is omitted and the power on the
transmitter tubes is forced to maximum.
2) The yellow LED LD17 blinks signalling the absence of the light contrast
adjustment (this LED can blink even before setting switch SW2.7 to ON if no
fabric is being processed)
3) The calibration data display window is enabled.

CAUTION: Before proceeding with the calibration of the sensor tube make sure
that:

A) At least 15 minutes passed from machine start-up in order for the sensors to
reach the operating temperature
B) The tubes are free from any fabric or other objects
C) Both tubes are cleaned

The calibration of the 4 signals (DARK, LIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT) coming from the sensor
tubes can be performed in 2 ways:

1) Using an external multimeter

2) Using the function “Sensor tube calibration parameters display”

We recommend you to perform the calibration using the function “Sensor tube
calibration parameters display” because no external instruments are used (their
accuracy is not known) and the sensor is calibrated taking into consideration the
data detected by the board, compensating for any measuring error.

CAUTION: However, never perform a mixed calibration, in other words never

calibrate some of the channels using an external multimeter and the rest of the
channels using the “Sensor tube calibration parameters display” function.
When performing the calibration using an external multimeter, do not take into
consideration the data indicated on the display of the B016 board, as they may
differ from the ones detected by the multimeter.

1.7.1 Calibration using an external multimeter

TP2 TP3 TP4 TP5 TP6

P1 P2 P3 P4

CAUTION: Before proceeding, carefully read the previous paragraph “Sensor tube
calibration procedure”.

1) For all measures, please keep the BLACK tip of the multimeter on TP6 “0V-
ADJ” and set the multimeter in Volt DC with 20Vdc full scale

2) By keeping the RED tip on TP2 “DARK” carefully adjust the trimmer P1 until
obtaining 9.00Vdc (+/- 0.01Vdc)

3) By keeping the RED tip on TP3 “LIGHT” carefully adjust the trimmer P2 until
obtaining 9.00Vdc (+/- 0.01Vdc)

4) By keeping the RED tip on TP4 “LEFT” carefully adjust the trimmer P3 until
obtaining 9.00Vdc (+/- 0.01Vdc)

5) By keeping the RED tip on TP5 “RIGHT” carefully adjust the trimmer P4 until
obtaining 9.00Vdc (+/- 0.01Vdc)

After adjusting the 4 trimmers make sure once again that the voltages on the 4
relative test points are 9.00Vdc (+/- 0.01Vdc), otherwise adjust them once again.

After completing the calibration:

 ______________________________________________ Page 11 of 13

1) set switch SW2.7 to OFF

2) Insert the fabric between the sensor tubes, the width of the fabric should
exceed by at least 50cm the central part of the tube, not covered by sensors.

3) Make sure that when the fabric is present, the yellow LED LD17 remains off and
does not blink indicating that the light contrast adjustment is properly
performed, suitable for the type of fabric being processed.

4) Start the machine and check the operation of the centring device, if the result
of the adjustment is not appropriate, use the parameters or the external
potentiometers to adapt the SENSITIVITY and BALANCING.
