13.1 General
The operation of the machine is subdivided into several levels:
Level 0: User level
Level 1: Service 1, password-protected, change to service settings possible
The level you are in is displayed in the login-field. You can log in or out by clicking on the login-field.
You should have the most exact knowledge of the data to be changed and its consequences. In case of
doubt consult your dealer or the manufacturer before any changes.
Important!
It is advisable to print out all parameters before changing. In the case of an incorrect
setting, the printed out data can be very helpful for restoring the original status.

Operating modes – settings have switching functions that switch program functions or machine functions
on or off.

Entries in inches each have a maximum of 3 places before and after the decimal point.
13.2.1.2 Width measurement on/off (264)
When a width-measuring device (optional) is connected, it can be switched on and off here.
The optical width measuring device incorporated in the measuring station serves to measure the width of
the workpieces processed. The cutting list can be changed over by means of the measured width. The
widths can be divided up into different groups.
When using the optional 'packing box' software ("panel program") the overall width of the boxes required
can be calculated as well.
The statistics register the area of the workpieces processed.
No trimming of finger-joint lengths The end cut is not carried out with this setting.
Picture 13-4
Caution!
After expiry of the set time, the installation starts again automatically!!!
Among other things, the ejection accuracy of the sorting stations as well as any sort alarm that occurs
depend on a correctly set sort alarm.
This function can be used to sort cross-cut lengths which are longer than the distance between the cross-
cut station and the sorting station photocell.
Picture 13-5
Setting rule:
The trim cut must first of all be set to "0".
A board is marked with a straight, thin but obvious line at exactly 100 mm from the start. Ensure that this
chalk line is marked as near at right angles as possible to the board edge.
Go to the "Saw” operating mode. The cross-cut feed system starts as long as no error has been was
detected in the self-test.
Place the marked board in front of the measuring station and have it measured by the measuring system.
Ensure that the measuring station is correctly set to the appropriate wood thickness.
Immediately after measurement carefully intercept the board between the measuring station and the
cross-cut station and remove it.
The distance between the board start and the crayon line (first measured length) can be read off on
screen at upper left. It must correspond approximately to the marked length of 100 mm. Inaccuracies of 2
millimetres are within the measurement tolerance range and do not have to be corrected.
This test can be repeated several times in order to establish a mean measurement for the offset
Caution!
This value is never to be set to less than the mechanical distance between the
photocell in the measuring station and the second overhead measuring roller.
If your cross-cut installation is not equipped with two overhead rollers, the following settings apply:
Model 14 MKL 0 mm
Model 14 E / KE 14 mm
Model 11 MKL 11 mm
Model 11 E / KE 11 mm
Important!
Do not set this distance too large or the wood width of very short input lengths cannot
be perfectly detected.
The optional box software can also be used to calculate the overall width.
The statistics ascertain the area of the workpieces processed.
Width measuring mode of operation:
Two triangulation measuring heads that measure the distance to the wood using a
laser beam. These triangulation measuring heads each send an analog voltage to the
control. The width of the wood is determined from these in the CNC controller.
Danger!
Never look directly into the laser beam. It is so bright that eye-damage could occur.
This operating mode is used to distribute the resultant optimisation remainder and has three different
settings:
Split optimising loss mode 0 In this operating mode the optimisation remainder is moved to the
board end.
Split optimising loss mode 1 In this operating mode half the resultant optimisation remainder is
distributed on both sides. The distribution only happens if the
optimisation remainder is smaller than the set minimum finger-joint
length. If the remainder is greater than the minimum finger-joint
length the corresponding finger-joint length is cut.
Split optimising loss mode 2 In this operating mode the optimisation remainder is distributed as
in split optimising loss mode 1 and any resultant finger-joint lengths
are integrated.
Without grade marks the grade of the preceding grade zone is retained. A grade change must be
designated by a lateral mark within a grade zone. Lateral grade marks can be in any place at any
distance.
The board start is also evaluated as a crayon line.
13.2.3.10 1 Chalk line Æ Quality (245) ... 9 Chalk lines Æ Quality (253)
These settings only take effect if the line code changeover is switched on.
Here you can allocate the number of crayon lines for a specific grade. The simplest way is to allocate 4
lines to grade 4, for example.
Important!
The file will be continuously extended by new data until the parameter "258 File name for
timber stack" is set to "0". After having generated a specific file, reset the parameter to
"0" to prevent the file/memory from getting unnecessarily large.
Your CNC cross-cut system can be equipped with an optional 'outfeed length identication' (length
detection photocells for an increased accuracy). Please note that the outfeed length identification only
works with a smooth saw cut. Chip-out would adversely affect the result.
In addition, the following parameters must have been entered correctly:

Illustration 13-7
Danger!
Setting / changing these parameters requires a fundamental knowledge of control
engineering as well as the complete feed system. Changes should only be made by
service engineers or under the instructions of the manufacturer. Incorrect settings may
represent a risk to life and limb.
The parameter menu for each axis is constructed in the same way. Which of the three menus you are in
is displayed on the screen.

13.2.5.2 Max. speed forward (103,123, 143) / Max. speed reverse (104,124, 144)
This is the maximum feed speed that can be travelled for positioning. Here also the factory-set values are
the maximum values obtainable. A reduction of the speeds can make sense in order to adjust the feed
system of the cross-cut installation to a slower processing cycle of a preceding machine.
Important!
If the value for “ks” is set to zero, then correct control behaviour or setting the control
parameter is no longer possible. Set this value to “1” at least

This menu can also be used to check if the software has also detected the input signal.
Picture 13-13
For simply checking the output signals, an LED is located on the corresponding output of the output
interface cards (marked red). These cards are located at the rear in the CNC control cabinet.
Switch status 0 (output signal not activated, no tick) no voltage applied at output
Switch status 1(output signal activated, tick before the designation) output is switched, i.e. 24V DC
applied
The outputs can be switched directly in these menus by operating the appropriate function number. If you
select an output signal, the login prompt follows. After entering the password you can activate the output
concerned.
Caution!
Machine functions are triggered when outputs are switched on! For this reason, the
outputs are only to be switched by the machine operator when the machine is stopped.
If the corresponding LED on the interface card does not react when outputs are switched, then there is
either a fault in the computer or on the interface card or a malfunction in the electrical circuit (incl. relays
on the output interface card).

Non-assigned output
Picture 13-14
The top four switch positions are inputs, the remaining four are outputs. A tick in the box in front of the
designation of the input/output concerned means switch position 1; if there is no tick, the switch position
is 0.
1 RC-test Switch status 1 means that the green key has been pressed. The
installation is ready to operate.
2 AUS-test Switch status 1 means that the white key is currently not being pressed or
held down.
3 Emergency Stop -test Switch status 0 means that the Emergency Stop circuit and the door
interlock circuit were closed by pressing the green key.
4 Machine started Switch status 1 means that the Run-Control R99 relay has picked up.

Picture 13-16
The allocations of cutting lists to the different wood widths and wood grades is determined here.
The allocation is completely free, so that the same cutting list can appear several times in the table.
It can be specified in each line (width group) for each grade, which cutting list should be used for
optimisation.
In the case of a connected width-measuring unit (optional), a width range can be programmed for each of
the 20 width groups. The group changeover then follows automatically. The particular width range (e.g.
“26 – 32“) must be specified in millimetres.
If there is no width-measuring unit connected to the cross-cut installation, the group changeover must be
done manually (cf. Chapter “Sawing“ in the operator manual B736.08/1).
Select the allocation or width range to be changed with the pin on the touch screen and change the value
via the keyboard. When you subsequently click on another allocation field or go to another field with the
keyboard arrow keys, the change is accepted but not saved! So that the changes also take effect after a
restart, they must be saved (<Save> button in the command bar).
An error message appears in the case of invalid values.
Other functions:
Reload: If no alteration has been stored, the 'reload' function allows to reopen the original matrix.
Complete column: The value entered is taken over for the whole column.
• Altering a width range in any allocation table automatically entails a simultaneous alteration in all
other allocation tables.
• In principle, the width ranges can be programmed without spaces, with spaces or overlapping.
• If there are spaces between the individual ranges and a width is measured that falls in a space,
then an error message is output. A width range of 10 mm – 350 mm can be programmed in the
width group 20 to prevent this error message and a suitably adjusted cutting list assigned. In this
way all pieces of wood that fall into a so-called “width gap” are processed further in the width
group 20.
• Measurement errors of ± 1mm must be taken into account by the width-measuring unit.
• If overlapping ranges are programmed, then the first group from the top is used where the
measured width falls in the programmed width range.
• The width ranges are to be programmed so that the smaller width is on the left of the hyphen and
the larger width is on the right.
• If width ranges (groups) are to be locked, the you can set the figure on the right of the hyphen
smaller than the number to the left of the hyphen.

The maximum finger-joint length must be set to be at least twice as long as the minimum
finger-joint length.

The ejection cylinder of a specific sorting station is located at a specific distance from the photocell at the
start of the sorting installation. The photocell represents so to speak the reference point for the sorting
stations / ejector.
To keep the sorting system as flexible as possible, the distances between the individual ejectors and the
photocell can be set with the help of this menu. If you mount an ejector in another position, the distance
set here must be adjusted.

By means of this display you can check if the axis parameters and the regulator are set correctly. To do
this, proceed as follows:
• Start the saw by pressing the white key.
• Select the requested axis number.
• Enter a value, e.g. 1000 into the “rel.position set value“ field.
Important!
The value entered is to be seen as a distance. The axis will be moved forward or
backward by this value. The moving direction can be changed by the <+/-> button
(+ to move forwards, - to move backwards).
By actuating the <Start> button the infeed belt conveyor will now move 1000 mm from the set position.
During this movement the diagram shows the set speed (red) and the lag error (yellow). The fields below
the diagram show the current values issued by the machine.
The optical width measuring device incorporated in the measuring station serves to measure the width of
the workpieces processed. The cutting list can be changed by means of the measured width. The widths
can be divided up into different groups.
When using the optional 'packing box' software ("panel program") the overall width of the boxes required
can be calculated as well. The statistics register the area of the workpieces processed.

The factory-set parameters, allocations, optimisation parameters and sorting stations are stored in this
menu and can be loaded by pressing the appropriate button. Before the data is opened, there is a control
query (see Picture 13-22), that you must acknowledge with <OK>. It is also possible to cancel the
procedure if the function is selected accidentally.
Important!
If you load the default data, the current settings are overwritten by the default settings.
If the default parameters are loaded, then not only are the machine, waste, measuring
station/sorting and mechanization parameters overwritten, but also the service
parameters.
Using this function you can set date and time of the control computer. Press the button <Save> to take
over and store the settings. If there is a network connection you can take over the browser time.
