Description of the application

The automation problem
In many areas of industry materials have to be machined continuously and
endlessly. Possible reasons for this:
The material must be in constant motion for process reasons.
Output must be maximized.
In these cases it is important to guarantee a continuous flow of materials
(the flow of materials must not stop). This can generally be achieved by
synchronizing the machining unit (e.g. the shears) and the material at the
right time (i.e. with the material which is "traveling"), whereby machining
takes place on a flying basis.
This application concerns the "flying shears" whose functions are illustrated
in Figure 1-1. The material being cut to length is fed continuously through
the shears by a main axle and cut.
One example of an application where flying shears are used is in the
manufacture of steel pipes (pipe welding plant):
The belt (sheet metal) is drawn from a coil (roll with several hundred meters
of sheet metal) into the profiling machine (machine with lots of rollers
arranged in series which conduct the sheet metal, bending it gradually into
a pipe as it passes from one roller to the next). Downstream of that is the
welding unit through which the belt has to pass at continuous speed
(approx. 60m/min) in order to perform the continuous welding. After being
welded, the pipes are cut to the product length by flying shears.

Cutting to length:
The current position of the material is ascertained by the controller via the
"belt sensor" and is compared with the specified parts length (parts
measuring 500 mm in length are continuously cut, for example).
If the parts length/cutting position is moved by the slide, the shear slide
synchronizes itself to the material cutting position. Following
synchronization (the shear slide is now traveling at the same speed as the
material), the separating cut is output (a parts length has been cut off).
Following the cut, the shear slide returns to its start position and waits for
the next length to pass through; the sequence starts all over again.
It should be possible to change the part length during operation, i.e.
during running production.

Cutting to a synchronous mark:

The shears wait for the next synchronous mark (cutting position), which is
detected by a synchronous mark sensor. In order to trigger off a cut at only
one specific mark in parts with several marks, the irrelevant marks can be
faded out within this length via the "fade-out length" parameter (see Figure
1-3). The next cutting position is then calculated allowing for the offset
values (distance between the synchronous mark sensor and the cutting
position, synchronous mark sensor and the cutting tool).

The automation solution
What will this application teach you?

This application will enable you to learn about the "Flying Shears" functions
by simulating the axes (belt axis, shear slide). Consequently, this example
can be tested without having to use real axis hardware.
If you use real axes, you need to adjust the machine data. This procedure
is not explained in this description, it is described in the manual for the FM
module being used.
In the course of the application you will be given two fully tested NC
programs which cover the functions, cutting to length and cutting to a
synchronous mark. They are essentially "complete", only the input variables
have to be parameterized. However, if you wish to modify the functionality
of the "Flying Shears", the program code is shown in section 8.
The automation solution
The task described can only be achieved using a controller which supports
this type of function directly or by a controller which can be programmed
very "freely" and provides important basic functions, such as curve table
interpolation.
The SIMATIC FM 357-2 is used in this application. This is a multi-axis
positioning controller which can be used for a wide range of different
positioning tasks through appropriate numerical control programming.
The configuration used is displayed below. The area boxed-in in red (CPU /
FM) is described in the following section, real axes (including sensors,
drives), as mentioned above, are not included.
Important
The two sub-functions (cutting to length/to a synchronous mark) are
described together in this section and in sections 3-6 because the only
difference between them is that there is an additional synchronous mark
sensor in "Cutting to a synchronous mark" (see Figure 1-3).

Configuration
The STEP7 program component, which acts as the interface between S7

and FM and which controls the basic FM functions (operating modes,
overwrite), runs on the CPU. There is always one of the two NC programs,
cutting to length and cutting to a synchronous mark, running on the FM.
Machine data
The following axes are used:
1st axis: belt axis
2nd axis: shear slide
The machine data configuration means that there is no need for a search
for a reference.
The two unused axes (3 and 4) could be used for other functions.

of course, also be changed.

Note
The part length can be changed during production using the "Cut by Length"
function. Here you change the Part Length parameter in DB100 of the S7 program.
In order to transfer the new part length to the FM the parameter Write_RPA
(compare page 11) has to be set. The changed part length will already be
employed for the next cut that follows.
Warning
Inaccurate defaults in the case of real axes can result in damage to the machine.
Pay careful attention to the mechanical conditions!

;************************************************************************
; This program creates the "flying cutting to length" function.
;
;
; Function:
; Once the belt has passed through the default parts length, the
; slide axis is synchronized to the belt cutting position.
; Following synchronization, the "separate" signal is output. Once the
; separation process is over ("separated" input signal), the SHEARS
; return to their start position and wait for the parts length to pass
; through again.
;
; Inputs:
IN 1 = Start belt axis (not with external sensor)
;
IN 2 = Separated
; Outputs:

OUT 1 = Separate

;Some of these parameters are: amplification factor, speed controller adjustment, speed ;precontrol, max. acceleration.
;In order to keep the fluctuations in accuracy as low as possible when changing the belt speed ;and likewise the Synchronized
range, you must minimize the following error of the shears to ;practically 0mm using the speed pre-control.
;External sensor/belt axis?

;This program can be used both if the belt is an external sensor and if there is an internal axis available.
;Settings for the external sensor:
;Deactivate loop controller release and pulse release in PLC, activate follow-up mode, machine data movement connection
setpoint connection (preset R10 to 0)
;Settings for internal axis:
;Activate loop controller release and pulse release in PLC, deactivate follow-up mode, machine data movement connection

;************************************************************************
; This program creates the "flying cutting to a synchronous mark" function.
; Function:
; If the synchronous mark signal occurs after the fade-out length
; (default value), the slide axis (Y-axis) is synchronized to the belt
; speed after the cutting position is reached (synchronous mark
; position + calculated distance values).
; Following synchronization, the "separate" signal is output. Once the
; separation process is over ("separated" input signal), the Y-axis
; returns to its start position and waits for a new synchronous mark.
;
; In order to record the synchronous mark, measurement input 1 is used
; and calculated in the program in order to achieve higher precision.
