4.1 Navigation and Control Screen

NAVIGATION AND CONTROL SECTION
The screen is broken into two primary areas; the Nav-
igation and Control Section and the Display Section.
The Navigation and Control Section will never go away
and will remain accessible no matter where in the HMI
Software you navigate to. This is because this area of
the screen contains all the needed areas for the User
to control the System and for the System to display cur- DISPLAY SECTION
rent states and alarms. As you navigate from screen to
screen, only the inner display should change.

We’ll start to learn about the Screen Icons by identifying

each one as they appear in each successive screen.
We start first with the icons located in the Navigation
and Control Section. Figure 4.1.1: Screen Sections

The first button on the Navigation and Control Portion

of the Screen is the Start Button. This button is used to
energize the Motors of the Bagmaker and to get it ready
to start running. This is also called homing the Bagmak-
er. If the Emergency Stop Circuit is satisfied and the
machine has been reset, this button will engage when
touched and the Bagmaker will energize all it’s circuits, Not Engaged Engaged
drive each servo axis to its correct starting place, and, Figure 4.1.2: Start Button States
if the bag is registered, pull the film to the next Eye-
spot and stop. Once this button has been engaged, the
Operator only needs to put the Stop/Run Switch in the
Run position and the Bagmaker should start production.
Each of its two states are shown here. Figure 4.1.3: Display Banner

The Display Banner is used to display the currently

loaded Recipe and Date.

4.2 Home Screen
The first screen seen upon power up is called the Home
Screen, shown below. This is the most common screen
that is displayed on the HMI. No matter where you are
in the software, if you touch the Home Icon, you will be
brought back to this screen.
11. This is the Home Button. When touched you will be
brought back to the screen shown below.
22. This is the Target Speed in bags per minute for the
Bagmaker. To adjust this number, simply touch the
button with the Speed Value in it and a pop up numer-
ic keypad will appear so you can enter the desired
Target Speed. The maximum speed for IM Models is
100 BPM. For CM Models it is 120 BPM.
33. This it the Film Web Tracking Control. The Film Car-
riage can be shifted left or right independently of the
rest of the machine. This is done in order to achieve
the correct seam seal alignment on the Forming
Tube and to keep graphics squared. To adjust, sim-
ply touch on of the two arrows. The Film Carriage will
move in the opposite direction of the arrows. The ar-
rows reference what the lap of the film will do on the
face of the former.
44. This is the Seam Seal Temperature Setting. This box
tells the user many things. The number in the black
box is the current temperature of the Seam Seal.
The other number is the Target Set Point. The circle
above the black box is the power indicator light. It

will illuminate every time the Bagmaker’s Tempera-
ture Controller applies voltage to the heater to heat it
up. Last, the thermometer image can be one of three
colors. If it’s blue, the heater is under the target set
point by more than 20 degrees and needs to heat up.
If it is red, it’s over by 20 degrees and needs to cool
down. Finally, if it’s green, the temperature is within
range of the target. To change the setting, touch the
box to access a keypad.
55. This is the Rear Jaw Temperature Setting. It func-
tions the same as the Seam Seal Box above it.
66. This is the Front Jam Temperature Setting. It func-
tions the same as the Seam Seal Box above it.

4.3 Quality Assurance Screen
After the Home Screen, the QA Screen is second most
used screen on the HMI. This is a setup screen that al-
lows the Operator to make test bags, pull film through
the Film Carriage, test the Seam Seal, and disable the
knife. The Icons on this screen are defined below:
1 1. This is the QA Screen Button, when touched the User is taken to
the above screen.
2 2. This is where the knife can be disabled and enabled. The image
above is for the knife being turned on. To disabled it, touch the
box with the cross though it indicating it won’t cut.
3 3. This button, when touched, will fire the Seam Seal Air Cylinder
for a few seconds so the Operator can check the assembly is
correctly aligned and setup for the current Forming Tube and
Film Type.
4 4. This is the Web Tracking Button Section. It is the same as what
is displayed on the Home Screen.
5 5. This is the Make 1 Bag with Product
Button. When touched, if the Bag-
1
maker is homed up and ready to run,
it will send one Dump Request Sig-
nal to the Filling Device. If the device 2 8
is ready to discharge the product, it
should then send the charge and a
signal to the Bagmaker saying it did.
The Bagmaker will then make one
bag and stop.
6 6. When this button is touched, the 4 the images should be correct.
Bagmaker will make 1 empty bag
and then stop.
48
77. The Make Continuous Empties Button will make the Bagmaker
start producing empty bags at the current settings continuously
until the button is touched again to stop it.
88. The Learn Bag Length Button is only visible when the currently
loaded recipe has the Registration Option turned on. If the cur-
rent recipe was not for a Registered Bag, this button would be
the bag length button.. When it is touched, the Bagmaker will
start pulling the film until it sees three eyespots on the film. It will
then take the average of the length values it saw and display it
for the Operator to either accept and use as the bag length or
decline so it can try learning the length again. The number dis-
played on this button is the last learned value.
99. The Pull Film Button will start the Bagmaker pulling film through
the system. It will continue pulling the film until either the button
is touched again or until 16 feet of film has been pulled. This is
the approximate length from the Pull Belts to the film roll. This is
used for splicing new film rolls or for lining up freshly laced film.
10
10. If you are running Registered Film, the Bagmaker must have a
starting point to know where to cut in order for the graphics on
the finished bags to be correctly aligned.
This is controlled by the Cut Position Pa-
rameter which will be discussed in the
next section. But, when touched, this
5 button will make the Bagmaker pull film
until it sees the next eye-spot. It will then
advance the film the Cut Position Value
3 farther and then stop. Assuming the cor-
6 9 rect Cut Position value is in the program,
when the Bagger is started in production,

4.4 Parameter Screens (Level I Access)

The Parameter Screens are the areas where the settings
for the bags you are running are stored. There are a total
of eight screens. But, depending on what Level of Access
you are currently at, they might not all be accessible.
4.4.1 Parameter Screen 1 (Temperature and
Speed)
55. This is only the first of eight parameter screens. We
discussed earlier how to navigate through the differ-
ent screens by using Tabs than run horizontally in the
middle of the screen. To access the different Parameter
Screens, you will do the same except the Page Tabs ver-
tically. See above.

1 1. This is Target Speed in bag per minute for the Bagmak-

er. To adjust this number, simply touch the button with
the Speed Value in it and a pop up numeric keypad will
appear so you can enter the desired Target Speed. The
maximum speed for IM Models is 100 BPM. For CM
Model it is 120 BPM.

tells the User many things. The number in the black box
is the current temperature of the Seam Seal. The oth-
er number is the Target Set Point. The circle above the 3
black box is the power indicator light. It will illuminate ev-
ery time the Bagmaker’s Temperature Controller applies
voltage to the heater to heat it up. Last, the thermometer
image can be one of three colors. If it’s blue, the heater is 1
under the target set point by more than 20 degrees and
needs to heat up. If it is red, it’s over by 20 degrees and
4 5
needs to cool down. Finally, if it’s green the temperature
is within range of the target. To change the setting, touch
the box to access the keypad.
33. This is the Rear Jaw Temperature Setting. It functions
the same as the Seam Seal Box above it.

er icon in #3 is removed and the Learn
registration icon appears in the box in-
stead of the Manual length button.

If it is desired to use registration the popup window shown

will appear asking if you want to learn bag length. If yes
3 4
simply press the icon to the left to allow the machine to re-
view the registration marks for the length of the bag.

Figure 4.4.2:
Parameter Screen 2 at Level 1 Access

1 In this section the operator has the ability

to make empty bags. The top icon allows
them to make 1 empty bag if touched.
The bottom Icon is the make continuous
empty bags. This is used during the set-
up stage to zero in all the parameters to
make correctly formed bags. This fea-
ture is only operable when the machine
is in the ready position or reset position.
If the machine is in a stop position this
feature will be nonfunctional.

50 PAUS-ASA- 03/2019
Woodman GII Bagmaker Section 4 – Screen Identification / Controls

3 This is the Bag Length Button. During setup
the operator can enter in the length of the
bag manually. Touch the icon to enter in the
desired length of the bag on the keypad. As
discussed earlier, this is only available if the registration
in #2 is disabled. If registration is enabled
then the Bag Length Button will be replaced
with a Learn Bag Length button. Again this
is determined based on the Enable Disable
Registration Button.
4.4.3 Parameter Screen 3
Parameter Screen 3 during a stopped condition is blank.
Once the machine has been reset the shown screen is
available. If in the reset ready position the operator has
the option to either make 1 empty bag or continuous
empty bags. Know that if for any reason the machine
becomes stopped, the icons here will disappear due
to the machine incapable of producing bags being in a
condition other than ready or reset.

4 This is the Strip Length Parameter. This

is the amount of stripping to be applied to
the bag while running. Stripping is used to
control the product in the seal, bag air fill,
and wrinkles in the end seals. If you don’t recall the way
stripping works, refer back to the Parts section of the
manual for the Theory of Operation behind stripping and
how it is performed.

4.4.4 Parameter Screen 4 (Clamp and Dater
Controls)
1 1. The Product Clamp can be enabled and disabled with
the button. As shown, the Clamp is enabled. The number
shown is the Clamp Open Time Parameter. This number
refers to the time left until the closing jaws have reached
the Strip Position. The goal is to open them just ahead of
the jaws being at the Strip Position so the charge will fall
correctly on them. To make the Clamp stay closed longer,
make the number smaller. To open sooner, make it larger.
The Enable and Disable Buttons are noted.

22. The Product Clamp has the ability to shake in order to
help settle High-Volume products into the bag for easier
packing and for helping to keep the seals free of prod-
uct. This option is timed automatically by the software
and will only engage the Settler when the Clamp is en-
abled and closed during the cycle. The only control the
User has is the Amplitude, or strength, of the vibration,
in Continuous Motion– Amplitude can not be controlled
in IM.
3 3. This section is only available with the continuous motion
machines. If your machine is an intermittent machine
this section of the screen will be blank for operator lev-
el users. This is used for the Product Clamp; the Icons
shown allow a specific gap opening when the clamp
dense and requires specific gap openings. This also
helps in the effort to settle the product correctly if be-
coming crunched. Touch the bag with a ruler to indicate
the amount of opening desired.

tiny air holes in the face of the Crumb Plates towards
the jaw faces. If enabled, every time the Jaws open
up while cycling, a blast of air is shot out to help cool
the end seals quicker.

33. If needed, the Bagmaker can inject air into the bags
for better fills. This parameter is controlled here. Us-
ing 360 degree timing, you select a start degree and
stop degree to time the blast where you want it to
be. When the Nitrogen Flush option is installed and
turned on, the Air Blast shoots out Nitrogen versus
regular air.

4.4.6 Parameter Screen 6 (Options)

This screen is used solely for machine options that need
Operator Input. The two options are shown here:

1 1. Perforation Option: This option requires a special air

cylinder on your system to fire the knife to create the
perf cut. When enabled, the User just enters a count
for the number of bags to be made
into a string and then cut off.

2 2. Bag Grouping: This option is used 1

when you need to make a certain
amount of bags in a group and then
create a gap between the groups for
a Bulk Packing type of job. The first
number is the number per group and
the second is the gap size.

4.4.7 Parameter Screens 7 and 8 (Auxiliary

Outputs)
The 3-Series Bagmaker comes preset with the ability to
control up to 6 separate Auxiliary Outputs that you may
want to fire with the normal bag making cycle. Screens
7 and 8 contain those parameters. Auxiliary Outputs 2
and 3 are both fired with an On Degree and stay on with
a Dwell Time Parameter. Auxiliary Outputs 4 and 5 are
both fired On and Off using timing degrees. Auxiliary 1
has the ability to be fired more than once in the bag mak-
ing cycle. This is why there is an A, B, and C option for it.
This is all done using On and Off Degree settings

1) First, measure the width of the film roll. Then, slide
the roll onto the film Arbor until the edge of the roll
aligns with the number that corresponds with the roll
width you measured. Then, depress the Film Lock
Knob.

the sides of the filling tube. If the program you’re run- 8
ning is registered, the Bagmaker will then pull the film
until it sees an eyespot and then stops.

Now, we need to confirm that the program is correctly set

to run the bag in question.

12. Last, once you’re making filled bags, inspect the end
seals to make sure there isn’t any product contamina-
tion in the seals. If there is, the Charge Arrival Timing
located on Parameter Screen 3 is incorrectly set. If the
charge is arriving too soon, increase the Charge Arriv-
al parameter. If it’s too late, make the value smaller.
