Touch screen The function of the Touch Screen is based on the active light matrix principle in the infrared range. The optical elements of the light matrix are located behind the IR transparent plastic frame in the front of the device. They are located in such a way that their radiation extends slightly out of the front plate. Each emitter is assigned a receiver that is located on the other side. A touch on the screen is detected by the simultaneous inter-ruption of one or several channels in the X or Y axis. Repeated touches and touches that cover an area greater than 20 mm x 20 mm are not evaluated by the touch controller. Continuously interrupted channels caused by severe contamination and dirt or by the failure of an optical element are detected by the touch controller and are no longer included in the evaluation.

Power up function test The PCS smart runs through a function test of the Touch Screen with every start-up. All the IR channels are evaluated and their signal levels compared with those of the initial values. The initial values are determined before the device is delivered and stored in a retentive memory. If one or several channel signals are below a minimum relative to the initial level, this will be indicated on the screen with an error message and the DEF/DIRTY LED will be lit. A reduced signal level of this kind is normally due to severe contamination of the IR transparent plastic frame which consequently has to be cleaned. The Touch Screen however remains fully functional. Only an increase in the contamination of the screen will lead to the continuous interruptions of one or several IR channels. IR channels that are continuously interrupted will be detected by the touch controller and are no longer included in the evaluation. In extreme cases this may mean that individual zones cannot be activated by touch.

ATTENTION

Do not touch the screen while the system is being started up and wait until your application has started. The Touch Screen carries out a function test during the start-up in which the signal levels of the IR channels are measured.

Cleaning and maintenance For operation ensure that the signal levels of the channels are not so severely reduced or interrupted due to excessive contamination through dirt. Clean the inside of the plastic frame of the device regularly with a damp soft cloth. Ensure that the surface is not scratched or scoured, especially when removing hard deposits and abrasive dusts. Do not expose the front of the device to solvents which may corrode and loosen the plastic frame (frame material: polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA).

Screen saver If no key on the Touch Panel is actuated for more than 1 hour, the background lighting will be reduced to an intensity of 40 %. (This increases the life time of the Touch Panel). In order to switch the background lighting to 100 % again just touch the screen of the Touch Panel at any position whatever. The switching over of the background lighting does not influence the functions of the Touch Panel.

Percentage of preselected cutting speed Example: The preselected cutting speed is 300 mm/min., the initial cutting speed is 30 %. Therefore an initial cutting speed of 90 mm/min. results. S = 30 % M= The initial cutting distance is the distance which the torch travels with reduced cutting speed in order to guarantee a safe initial cutting. S = 30 mm M= The speed change over from initial cutting speed to cutting speed is done via a ramp. The ramp time determines the time which the torch uses for accelerating from initial cutting speed to cutting speed. S = 7 sec. M= Percentage of preselected cutting speed Example: The preselected cutting speed is 300 mm/min., the out cutting speed is 70 %. Therefore an out cutting speed of 210 mm/min. results. S = 70 % M= This value determines the position before the theoretical cutting end, where the torch is switched over from the preset cutting speed to the reduced out cutting speed.

MACHINE TRAVEL DRIVE DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL DEVICES Proximity switch: MACHINE BACKWARD OFF (S 282) This switch limits the return travel of the machine in all operation modes. When it is actuated, it gives the signal Machine home position. Furthermore, it is used for the synchronization of the encoder "Machine position".

1.5.2)

Proximity switch: MACHINE BACKWARD SLOW (S 284) The travel speed is switched over from "fast" to "slow" shortly before reaching the rear end position by means of this proximity switch. This is effected in all operation modes.

1.5.3)

Proximity switch: MACHINE FORWARD OFF (S 286) This switch limits the forward travel of the machine in all operation modes. If the machine reaches this position while sitting on slab, the machine lifts up to its upper end position in all modes. Additionally, in semi-automatic and in automatic mode a cutting cycle will be interrupted and the machine returns to home position.

1.5.4)

Thermo switch: MACHINE DRIVE 1 (S 93) This thermo switch supervises the temperature of machine drive 1 and will be activated at approx. 150o C. At the same time an alarm on the Operator Panel display will be generated. The drive itself will not be stopped.

1.5.5)

Thermo switch: MACHINE DRIVE 2 (S 95) This thermo switch supervises the temperature of machine drive 2 and will be activated at approx. 150o C. At the same time an alarm on the Operator Panel display will be generated. The drive itself will not be stopped.

Hengstler RI 58 TD / 0250 ED.37KX 10 - 30 V 250 steps/rev. A+B channels, shifted by 90 500 mm

The evaluation of the encoder is effected by means of a counter module in the PLC. This counter is called "Machine Tracking". The counter module counts the raising and the falling edges of the A + B channels.

A B

Count Up

Count Down

This means, the counter counts 1000 pulses per revolution of the measuring wheel. Based on the circumference of 500 mm the following results: 1 pulse = 0,5 mm The synchronization of the counter module will be made by a signal of the proximity switch MACHINE BACKWARD OFF(Machine home position). The counter module in the PLC calculates the actual machine position referred to the home position. The shifted pulse channels enable increasing or decreasing of the calculated position according to the direction of actual machine movement. The counter is also used for the determination of piece lengths when the measuring roller is selected as length measuring system. This is described in chapter "LENGTH MEASURING". Furthermore, the counter is used for the following functions: - to determine roller position - to determine the machine position for speed change from fast to slow in forward direction - to move the shifting table

MACHINE LIFTING DRIVE DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL DEVICES Proximity switch: MACHINE LIFTING OFF (S 292) This proximity switch limits the lifting drive moving direction up in all operation modes.

2.5.2)

Proximity switch: MACHINE PRELOWERING (S 294) This switch is used for: 1. Prelowering procedure for any cut 2. Lowering procedure for tail cut.

1. Prelowering procedure The signal of the switch activates a timer. The length of the timer is depending on the strand thickness (in Level 1 mode the strand thickness is preselected by the operator, in Level 2 mode the strand thickness from the higher level computer is used). The timer stops the drive when the skid is 5 - 10 mm above the slab.

2. Lowering procedure for tail cut During tail cuts there is usually no strand underneath the skid. Therefore the machine down movement must be stopped as described under item 1. "Prelowering procedure". In tail cut mode the skid is only travelled until the the prelowering position, i.e. always over slab level. General: With the signal "Lowering" another fixed timer (independent on the format) is started for approx. 3 seconds. That means the drive is started for approx. 3 seconds, the skid travels from prelowering position (approx. 5-10 mm above the slab) into lowering position. After the timer run-down the machine sits on the slab.

TORCH DRIVES DESCRIPTION OF ACCESSORIES Incremental encoder: TORCH 1 POSITION (B 421) Technical data: Type: Supply voltage: No. of steps: Channels: Circumference of measuring wheel:

Hengstler RI 58 TD / 0250 ED.37KX 10 - 30 V 250 steps/rev. A + B channels, shifted by 90 235,62 mm (d0 = 75 mm)

The encoder is mounted on the shaft of the toothed wheel. The evaluation of the encoder is effected by means of a counter module in the PLC. This counter is called "Torch 1 Tracking". The counter module counts the raising and the falling edges of the A + B channels.

A B

Count Up

Count Down

This means, the counter counts 1000 pulses per revolution of the measuring wheel. Based on the circumference of 235,62 mm the following results: 1 pulse = 0,23562 mm The synchronization of the counter module will be made by a signal of the proximity switch TORCH 1 BACKWARD OFF (Torch 1 home position). The counter module in the PLC calculates the actual machine position referred to the home position. The shifted pulse channels enable increasing or decreasing of the calculated position according to the direction of actual machine movement. The counter is also used for several functions, like : - positioning of the torch on the slab edge - initial cutting distance - remaining cut distance after torch meet - etc. 3.4.2) Incremental encoder: TORCH 2 POSITION (B 423) Please refer to item 3.4.1).

TORCH TRACKING CONTROL GENERAL The torch tracking system is used for the following : - to optimize the cutting cycle time - to guarantee a safe initial cutting and cutting out - to send output signals, such as roller table start or cutting end, to other PLCs at the right time Torch tracking is necessary for all automatic cutting cycles. Mainly a cutting cycle consists of the following steps : 1. Positioning of the torches at the strand edge 2. Switching on of the torch heating flame 3. Switching on of the torch cutting flame 4. Initial cutting of the strand with slow speed (initial cutting speed) 5. Acceleration via a ramp to the preselected cutting speed 6. Cutting with preselected cutting speed 7. Cutting out with reduced cutting speed 8. Transmission of the signal "Roller table start" to the PLC 9. End of cutting process, cutting flame off, heating flame off 10. Backward travel of torches and machine into home positions

TORCH TRACKING CONTROL PARAMETER The following parameter are set in mm via the Operator Panel (screen Cutting parameter) installed in the control desk and are also indicated there. 1. For initial cutting: "INITIAL CUTTING DISTANCE" To guarantee a safe initial cutting the torch is travelled approx. 40 - 60 mm (initial cutting distance) with reduced cutting speed (approx. 30 % of the adjusted cutting speed). For cutting out : Position "TORCH MEET" This is the distance between the two torches, if they are as close together as it is mechanically possible and if the proximity switch "Torch 1+2 Forward Off" is actuated. (Approx. 130 mm) Position "CUTTING END" This is a safety addition to the theoretical cutting end, which will be calculated by the PLC. (Approx. 30 mm) Position "ROLLER TABLE START" The input of this value determines the position where the conveying roller table has to start, before the cutting end is reached. (Approx. 10 mm) Position "CUTTING OUT" This value determines the position before the theoretical cutting end is reached, where the torch speed is switched over from the preselected cutting speed into the reduced cutting out speed. (Approx. 30 mm)

TORCH TRACKING CONTROL PARAMETER 6. Position "STOP during HEAD CROP CUT and TAIL CUT" The cut will be interrupted if a head or a tail cut is preselected. The corresponding torch remains in this position until the cutting line is above the crop carriage (not for tail cut). (Approx. 90 mm). In this moment the cut will be continued, so that the head piece can fall down into the crop carriage. Please refer to the FUNCTIONAL PROCESS, chapter HEAD CROP CUT and chapter TAIL CUT.

Special features: In the steps 3 - 6 the values to be entered are referred to the theoretical cutting end, e.g.: The torch distance to the cutting end is the sum of the theoretical cutting end + of the parameter "Cutting end". The torch distance to the position "Cutting out" is theoretical cutting end position "Cutting out".

TORCH TRACKING CONTROL CALCULATIONS IN THE CUTTING CYCLE In each automatic or semi-automatic cycle the PLC calculates the positions of the parameters described under item 7.6.2 and which have been entered via the Operator Panel. These position are calculated twice. 1. When the cutting flame is switched on after heating. The PLC calculates the positions for both torches. When there is a torch meet before reaching the a.m. positions (normal cycle with two torches).

2.

During preheating the torch position can be manually corrected. When switching over from heating to cutting two other parameters are used in order to calculate the cutting distance: Slab width Distance slab edge to the torches

In this case the calculation formula is as follows:

THEORETICAL CUTTING END = DISTANCE SLAB EDGE TO TORCH 1 (2) + SLAB WIDTH

TORCH TRACKING CONTROL CALCULATIONS IN THE CUTTING CYCLE (cont.)

By means of the theoretical cutting end the PLC can calculate all other important positions in the cutting cycle. EXAMPLE : - Distance slab edge to the torch heating position: - Slab width - Cutting end - Torch meet 15 mm 2000 mm 10 mm 120 mm

Then the PLC calculates the position for the theoretical cutting end as follows: EXAMPLE: - Edges detected - Torch 1 position = 355 mm - Torch 2 position = 355 mm

At the moment when the cutting flame is switched on the PLC calculates the theoretical cutting end positions as follows: For torch 1 : Theoretical cut end pos 2370 For torch 2 : Theoretical cut end pos 2370 = Actual pos. = 300 + Dist. torch 1 to slab edge + 15 + Slab width + 2000 = = Actual pos. 355 + + Dist. torch 1 to slab edge 15 + + Slab width 2000

With these calculations both torches are working like in "Only 1 torch" mode. The advantage is: If one torch fails during cutting it can be deselected (on the Preselection screen of the Operator Panel). The deselected torch then travels back to home position and the other torch can fullfil the cut without any further operator action.

TORCH TRACKING CONTROL CALCULATIONS IN THE CUTTING CYCLE (cont.)

When the torches meet during cutting a new calculation for torch 1 will be made. At torch meet torch 2 finishes the cut and travels back to home position. For torch 1 the calculation of the theoretical cutting end will be made as follows: EXAMPLE: - Torch Meet - Torch 1 position : 1310 mm - Torch 2 position : not relevant for the calculation = = Actual position T1 1310 + + "Torch meet" 120

Theoretical cut end pos 1430

Based on this value the calculations for the residual cutting cycle will be made. EXAMPLE: - Parameter Roller table start - Parameter Cutting end = = = = = 10 mm = 10 mm + + Parameter Roller table start 10 Parameter Cutting end 10

The edge is calculated by the actual slab width as shown above. The torch travels to this calculated edge position. After stopping at the edge, the heating flame is ignited and the operator can now see whether the calculated edge is equal to the actual edge. If a correction is necessary, it must be done by the touch keys "Torch forward - backward". The correction value is stored with cutting start.

CONTROL

The measuring roller is a part of the length measuring device. When the strand head reaches the measuring roller, the PLC receives a signal from the caster tracking system Measuring roller up. With this signal the solenoid valve will be switched on (solenoid valve opened currentless). Thereby the cylinder pressure is neutralized and the measuring roller by the counter-weight travels upwards to the strand. The measuring roller will be pressed against the lower side of the strand. After this the built-in encoder continuously generates impulses as long as the measuring roller is pressed against the slab. The counter card counts the impulses and the PLC is able to calculate the measured length. After the strand end passes the measuring roller, it is pressed down to home position by the cylinder.

LENGTH MEASURING

The measuring roller and the machine position encoder are used for measuring of piece lengths. The measured piece length is indicated on the Operator Panel and is determined as follows: When the strand head is 300 mm behind the measuring wheel center line the roller is pressed against the strand by means of a signal from caster tracking system. The strand movement causes the turning of the measuring wheel. The machine position is detected by the machine position encoder. The impulses generated thereby are counted by the counter modules in the PLC. The PLC program calculates the actual piece length from the impulses. This calculated piece length is compared with the preset value cut length. When the strand reaches a length which is approx. 0,5 m less than the preset length, the machine is prelowered. The length, where prelowering is initiated, is stored as parameter in the Operator Panel and can be changed, if necessary. When the actual piece length and the preset length are equal, the machine is lowered on the strand.

NOTE: The measured piece length is used to trigger prelowering and lowering but only when the machine is operated in AUTOMATIC mode.

CUTTING CYCLES GENERAL The following description describes the steps which are executed at each cut. These steps also apply for special cuts (head crop cut and tail crop cut). Therefore in the descriptions of special cuts only the differences to normal cut are detailed. It is assumed that full automatic operation of the machine is desired. Therefore the machine should be controlled from the Control Desk. In this case the machine PLC will receive the slab length setpoints and the kind of cut via Ethernet interface or via the Operator Panel by using program 1 or program 2 and the machine will operate fully automatic. If Automatic is selected, the machine will execute the cut automatically according to the preset slab length. If Semi-Automatic is selected, the machine must be prelowered and lowered by the operator, because the slab length setpoints are not evaluated in this operation mode. If Manual is selected, the whole cutting cycle must be executed manually by using the touch keys on the Graphic Panel.

The machine is equipped with a pair of main torches. Special cuts, such as head and tail cuts, are usually made as described with 2 torches (one pair), but it is also possible to make these cuts with 1 torch only.

CUTTING CYCLES NORMAL CUT With two torches (1 pair) Machine prelowering: - If the machine is operated in Automatic operation mode, prelowering is initiated automatically. This is described in chapter LENGTH MEASURING. If the machine is operated in semi-automatic operation mode, prelowering is initiated by pressing the touch key Prelowering on the Operator Panel. With prelowering position the torches travel fast forward to the edge position. On the edge the heating flames turn on.

Machine lowering: If the machine is operated in Automatic operation mode, lowering is initiated automatically. This is described in the chapter LENGTH MEASURING. If the machine is operated in semi-automatic operation mode, lowering is initiated by pressing the touch key Lowering on the Operator Panel. The cutting flames turn on. The torches start to move forward with initial cutting speed. This speed is approx. 30 % of the normal cutting speed. The torches travel approx. 50 mm with initial cutting speed. This is the initial cutting distance. Such a procedure is necessary to cut the slab edge through. After passing the initial cutting distance the torches accelerate to normal cutting speed.

CUTTING CYCLES NORMAL CUT With two torches (1 pair) Both torches cut with normal cutting speed until torch meet. After torch meet the heating and the cutting flame of torch 2 are turned off and torch 2 travels with fast speed back to home position or to edge position. Torch 1 proceeds to cut with normal cutting speed. Torch 1 cuts with normal cutting speed for approx. 70 mm. Then the cutting speed is decreased to approx. 70 % of the normal cutting speed. This is cut out speed. With this decreased speed torch 1 cuts approx. 50 mm. Torch 1 returns to home position. At the same time the heating and the cutting flame turn off. The machine lifts up and travels to home position. Depending on the preset cut length for the next slab there are two possibilities:

1. The new preset cut length is shorter than the machine distance to home position. The machine will stop to move when receiving the signal Prelowering and a new cutting cycle will be started when receiving the signal Lowering. 2. The new preset cut length is longer than the machine distance to home position. The machine reaches home position and will wait there for the signals Prelowering and Lowering.

CUTTING CYCLES NORMAL CUT With one torch If one torch is out of order a cutting cycle can be executed with one torch only. The cut with one torch must be selected by the operator. He must select torch 1 or torch 2. It must be considered that a cutting cycle executed with only one torch takes a longer time than a cycle with both torches. Special cuts (head crop cut and tail crop cut) can also be executed in this manner. For that the machine must know the width of the slab. (Via Ethernet interface or by operator input via the Operator Panel). Prelowering, lowering, edge detection and initial cutting are executed in the same manner as cutting with two torches. When the torch comes approx. 50 mm close to the opposite edge of the slab (this position is calculated by the torch encoder) cutting will be preceded with cut out speed. The movement of the shifting table and roller start are controlled in the same manner as cutting with two torches.

CUTTING CYCLES HEAD CROP CUT With two torches (1 pair) The machine is in home position. The hot strand head approaches the measuring roller. When the hot strand head is above the center line of the measuring roller, the GeGa PLC receives the signal Measuring roller up from the strand PLC. With this signal the measuring roller is pressed against the strand. After a short time the strand PLC sends a second signal "Start measuring". With this signal the measuring roller starts measuring. 500 mm before reaching the preset crop length the torch cutting machine will prelower. The brakes of both machine drives remain closed. Both torches are travelled to the strand edge. When reaching the strand edge the heating flames of both torches are switched on. When reaching the preset crop length the machine will lower and the magnetic brakes of both travelling drives are opened, the machine is now dragged by the strand (synchronous travel). The cutting oxygen at both torches is switched on and both torch drives are started with initial cutting speed. Cutting the strand with initial cutting speed. Cutting the strand with cutting speed. Reaching the proximity switch Torch meet. Torch drive 2 is stopped, cutting oxygen and heating gas of torch 2 are switched off. Torch 2 travels back to home position or to edge position.

CUTTING CYCLES TAIL CROP CUT General The tail crop cut is a partial cut only. A complete cut is not possible, because the tail piece would fall down into the sinter channel underneath the shifting table. Cutting above the crop car is not possible because of the mechanical design. The handling of the last slab with the tail piece at the end requires special sequences of the torch cutting machine and of the roller table in this area. The sequences are described in the chapter FUNCTIONAL PROCESS. The cutting cycle itself is shown on the following pages.

SIMULATION PROGRAM

FUNCTIONAL PROCESS

STRASA VI/1+2

The software contains a simulation program for testing the torch cutting machine. For starting the simulation the following steps have to initiated : 1. The operator selects simulation mode on the TCM touch panel. This is only allowed if the Strand PLC reports the Simulation. The simulation mode automatically resets if the Strand PLC resets the simulation flag. 2. The measuring roller is lifted with the signal Measuring roller up from the strand tracking system. 3. With the signal Measuring start the strand length is calculated according to the casting speed which is transferred from the strand tracking system. 4. According to the cutting length setpoints (Level 2 or local) the machines are prelowered and lowered. In computer mode the strand width, which is received in the cutting setpoint, is used, otherwise a fixed value (which is stored on the TCM PLC) is used. 5. With the signal Lowering generated from the length measuring (preset cutting length is reached) the machine is travelled according to the casting speed. In order to guarantee a travelling of the torch cutting machine with casting speed, the casting speed in simulation mode must be higher than 1,2 m/min. 6. The further procedure corresponds to the functional process on the following pages and depends on the cutting kind selection (head crop cut, normal cut). All signals of the simulated air cuts are transferred to Level 1 according to the Interface description.
