1 General Hints

• Read this operational manual carefully. Contact HST for occurring questions.

• Installation and bringing into operation by skilled and authorized persons only.

• Installation must be performed, the way no person gets injured and no HST Sensor Systems parts as well machine parts damaged

• Accurate mounting of the sensor

• Avoid any mechanical stress to the sensor

• Machine control unit must be programmed the way that the sensor system's interactions to the machine can be cut immediately. This helps minimizes product ejections, among others due to false adjustments.

• Material to be measured must be guided.

• Avoid (moving) metallic parts near the sensing area.

• Installation without power supply switched on.

• ONLY stabilized +24VDC must be applied.

• Use only original sensor and USB cables

• Lay cables the way, that they don't get stressed.

• Product (Start) and Clock signal must be available

2.5 Control Signals of the Machine

2.5.1 Start Signals

A start signal start signifies the beginning of the next product, material length or flow duration. The start signal, 24V is delivered by the machine and connected to the Control Signal Interface Connector, “ Start Signal Input” ,pin 7.

2.5.2 Clock Signals

Number of clock signals between two start signals defines the number of measurements for one product, a distinct material length or flow duration. The clock signals are independent of the production line speed and are normally from a comb of the production line. The start signal is connected to the Control Signal Interface Connector, “Clock Signal Input”, pin 8.

3 Software The HST Company provided the client with different kind of software, which deals with the same firmware but specialized to different applications.

• the service or configuration program (FC)

• the extended service program (FC_Y)

In the following steps we explain how to install the HST software.

Software Installation (Example FC_X) The installation process for the service software and the service extended software follows similar rules. 1. Run File “HST Analyser Extended Service Program

2. Choose the language



In the next step a password will be used. 3. Password dialogue will be started.

Enter the password the HST Company will get you. The password corresponds to your license.

4. After a correct password was written, an installation dialogue will appear. Choose ‘next’



5. Accept the term of license with ‘Next’.

6. Short product information Product appears. Choose ‘Next’.

Them

7. The target directory you choose in the following dialogue.



8. The start menu entry and desktop entry must be chosen.



9. A short comprehensive of all installation actions must be confirmed by ‘Install’.

Some files of earlier installations must be overwritten. Confirm it with “retry”.



10. Installation has been finished. Click the "Finish" Button to exit the setup.



3.1 The service software (FC)

3.1.1 overview

Diagram 3: FC overview with Service Software and sensors



3.1.2 the program description After the user has started the program by using the desktop icon or a file entry with the

windows file explorer, the HST Flow Controller Service Program will be started.

Diagram 4: HST Service Software

3.1.2.1 Software Settings – the Language setting

choose your language

3.1.2.2 COM port setting

Connect the Flow Controller to the USB-Port and choose the correct com port.

With the button “test” you can test the connection to the Flow Controller. After pressing this button you should get the following message:



If the user get the message:

Another USB-Port has to be selected. Then press the button “test” again.



3.1.2.3 Firmware update If you got a new firmware file from HST Support you should verify that the machine is halted. Connect your PC to the Flow Controller USB port and test the connection as described above. Attention: Before you start the firmware update the CPU load should be lower than 10% :

Then press button in order to start the firmware update. Choose your firmware file:

and press “open”. The firmware update is in progress:



After a successfully firmware update you should see the following message:

3.1.2.4 Recording data

With the Button you can initiate recording data. Choose the destination filename and press “save”:

Recording will be in progress and size of datafile will grow:

Attention: No production analysis during data recording!

With the Button you can finish data recording. HST Analyser is able to open the destination file for further analysis.



3.1.2.5 Upload configuration If you got a new configuration file from HST Support connect your PC to the Flow Controller USB port and test the connection as described above.

Then press button in order to start uploading configuration into the Flow Controller. Choose your configuration file:

... and press “open”. The upload will take about 10 seconds. Then you should get following message:



3.1.2.6 Download configuration

If you want to save your actual configuration press button , choose the destination filename:

... and press “save”. The download will take about 5 seconds. Then you should get following message:

3.2.6.2 calibrating The weight calibration by “Teach-In” allows to calibrate the measurements in gram. Input the numbers for weight calibrate, here 10 and input the preset-weight, the weight the product should have. Start the “Teach-In” procedure by pressing the “start teach-in” button in the window “Teach-in of weight”. By using the spu Analyser, the eject-signal at pin7, will send for each product, by using the spu-FlowController, the corresponding behaviour will occur at the output1 at pin 10. When the machine PLC is adjusted to throw out products by SPU eject signals, the operator can use this functionality to check the weights by an external scale. The result of the scale must be entered into the edit field “real weight value” and accepted by pressing the “accept” button. The weight input in the “preset weight” field is used in the weight window, field “set-value”.

Safty precautions It is very important, that during operation test initial incorrect signals emitted from the Flow Controller do not damage or harm persons or production equipment. Be advised that caution should be used when activating devices, which use the output signals of the Flow Controller sensors. Activate any all devices step by step and with caution. PLCs or signal processing devices should be programmed in the way, that in the event of production faults – such as power outs or runaway machines speeds – signals from the Flow Controller do not damage or harm persons or product equipment. Responisbility Hossbach Sensor Technologie for damages against persons or equipment, which arise during starting or running operation. Service and Repair Due to the robust construction of the Flow Controller and the absence of parts, which can wear and tear, the Flow Controller need little or no maintenance. Cleaning: Use only damp cloth to clean the Flow Controller. Water or solvents which intrude into the sensor could cause irreparable damage. Repairs: Other than verifying proper installation, i.e. electrical hook-up and adjustment, any and all repairs to Flow Controller must be performed by Hossbach Sensor Technologie in Germany or by your closest representative. Before sensing the Flow Controller for repair, call our service hotline.
