General Decription of Function and Specification

The SERIES 200 CONTROLLER is ergonomically designed to ensure that it is user friendly, reliable and easy
to maintain and service.
The Control board has a 3.5 inch, high capacity DOS compatible disk drive (1.44 Mbyte formatted) to be used
as the primary means of design transfer.
The system is able to load designs from the disk or network system while the loom is weaving. Designs loaded
from the disk are in Bonas EP format.
The Control board is designed to withstand radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference in accordance
with the EEC EMC Directive as specified by the IEC 801 Standard (parts 2,4 & 5)
The system is designed so that weaving speeds of up to 1000 picks per minute can be achieved.
A visual indication that the system is functioning is shown by a number of LED's which are visible through the
front panel of the unit. These LED's are allocated as follows ;
One LED to indicate the presence of mains power being supplied to the system.
One LED to indicate that the system hardware is healthy.
One LED to indicate that the software is running OK.
Two LED,s indicating the status of the Jacquard vane (timing) switches.
Five LED,s indicating the status of the Jacquard signals.
One LED indicating a warning which requires operator intervention.
A liquid crystal display is visible through the front panel of the unit, which when used in conjunction with the
keyboard allows the operator to select a particular function.
The system has self checking routines which run periodically while the system is running. If an internal error is
detected, then the LED's on the front panel will indicate the error.
Two serial ports are provided to allow the controller to communicate with other equipment.

CONTROLLER MANUAL
Introduction
Page 3B/5 shows all the options available in the Controller and the corresponding page which describes how to
operate in that option.
Whenever the Series 200 Controller is switched on the controller runs through a series of self checks and the
display shows the following information.
Bonas Series 200 Controller - Ver 0.6
System Initialising - Please Wait .......
Because the controller is designed to maintain information relating to the loom and Jacquard when it is
switched off, part of these self checks validate this information in order to check for possible corruption.
Depending upon the result of the self checks, the screen will display the type of initialisation required. If
corruption of the information stored in the controller is detected, the screen will display
Performing Cold Start
If the self checks show that the information stored has not been corrupted the screen displays :
Performing Warm Start
Cold Start means that the controller is being started without any information relating to the operation of the
loom and Jacquard.
Note:
Following a Cold Start, ensure that the controller is configured so that it may operate correctly with your
Jacquard/Loom combination. (See Pages 3B/38- 50).
A Cold Start is only performed in the unlikely event of corruption of the configuration information. In the vast
majority of cases a Warm Start is performed, which means that the controller will start up in the same
programmed state as it was when it was last running.
The initialisation messages stay on the screen for approximately 3 seconds after which the screen displays the
main menu and the controller can be operated as required.
Two levels of operation are provided one of which allows the operator to access all of the functions of the
controller. This level of operation is termed Full Access. The second level restricts operation to just three
options and is termed Limited Access. Depending on the level the controller has been set up to operate, the
screen will then display the appropriate menu options.
To move to the Full Menu from the Limited Menu a code number must be used, see page 3B/8.
To move to the Limited Menu from the Full Menu press

Information entered into the configuration menus must be correct. If the wrong information is entered
serious faults can occur in the loom / Jacquard systems.
When this option is selected , the screen will ask for confirmation of the chosen option. This is to prevent
accidental alteration of the configuration information.
In order to allow the controller to drive the Jacquard and loom correctly, it must first be configured. The
Configure Controller option allows the operator to enter this configuration information. The configuration of the
controller is divided into three groups; configuration of the Jacquard, configuration of the loom and general
configuration.
This menu option will normally only be selected when the controller is being commissioned as most of the
configuration information relates specifically to the loom/Jacquard combination, and so will not change.
However, some of the general configuration information such as the time and user access level may be altered
from time to time.
All of the configuration information is stored by the controller so that it will not be lost when the controller is
switched off.

Warnings and Error Messages
OPERATOR WARNING
Loom stopped due to :Jacquard timed out
Press Esc to continue.
The Jacquard has a built in safety feature to stop overheating the solenoids.
If the Jacquard is stopped in a position where the solenoids are continuously
energised, all power to the solenoids will be cut, after a time of approximately
one minute. (This is refered to as Timed out)
PROCEDURE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

The interlock will be activated, confirmed by the illuminated red light above the
screen of the 200 controller.
The 200 Controller screen will flash a message as shown on the screen above.
The operator must press Esc

- The interlock will be turned off.
- The same pick information, that was in the solenoids, when time out occured
will be sent to the solenoids again. This will ensure that a fault does not occur
in the fabric.
The loom must now be started before a time of one minute has elapsed, or the
Jacquard will time out again.

Glossary of Terms
Series 200 controller configuration
The configuration menu offers 3 options for configuring the controller which in turn
allow certain features of the controller to be set to the user requirements.
1. CONFIGURE JACQUARD
JACQUARD TYPE
Three options, selected by using the function keys designated as left and right
cursor keys. The required option is accepted by pressing the OK function key.
The three options are:Normal
This is a Jacquard fed by a single data line from the controller. (up to
2688 ends depending upon the Jacquard.)
Split
This is a Jacquard with single data line but allowing the controller to split
the Jacquard in two halves, weaving two designs across the loom.
Dual
A double Jacquard with two serial lines allowing two different designs to
be sent to each of the jacquards and so two designs to be woven across
the loom.
LOOM PIECES
This indicates the number of repeats of a design appearing across the loom so that
the correct stopping condition after a given number of repeats of one design can
be identified. The count should be entered using the numeric keys and accepted
with the return key.
2. CONFIGURE LOOM
WEFT OUTPUT POSITION
This indicates the position in the looms cycle when the weft information is to be
presented to the loom. See fig 3B/58 on the next page.
On pick at top dead centre
The weft information is output at top dead centre of the pick cycle in
which the weft is to be inserted in the shed..
Pre selected at timing signal
The loom provides a timing signal which gives the exact position for the
weft information to be output, pre selection indicates that the weft
information will be output in the pick cycle before the weft is to be
inserted in the shed.
On pick at timing signal
The weft information will be output at the timing signal, provided by the
loom, in the pick cycle in which the weft is to be inserted in the shed..
ISSUE 3- 11/95
3B/59
CONTROLLER MANUAL
Pre selected at off vane

The weft information is output at the off vane, (this is when the shed is closing), in
the pick cycle before the weft is to be inserted into the shed.
Pre selected at cross shed
The weft information is output at cross shed, in the pick cycle before the weft is to
be inserted into the shed.
Pre selected at zone D
The weft information is output at zone D, (this is when the shed is opening), in the
pick cycle before the weft is to be inserted into the shed.
On pick at off vane.
The weft information is output at off vane, (this is when the shed is closing) of the
pick cycle in which the weft is to be inserted in the cloth
On pick at cross shed
The weft information is output at cross shed of the pick cycle in which the weft is to
be inserted in the shed.
On pick at zone D
The weft information is output at zone D, (this is when the shed is opening) of the
pick cycle in which the weft is to be inserted in the shed.
Pre selected at top dead centre
The weft information is output at top dead centre, in the pick cycle before the weft
is to be inserted into the shed.

CONTROLLER MANUAL
WEFT OUTPUT POSITION AT REVERSE DETECTION

When the loom stops and then moves in reverse the weft information can be
output at any of the positions previously described :On pick at top dead centre, etc etc.
WEFT OUTPUT POSITION AT FORWARD DETECTION

The position after a reverse when the weft information for the forward pick is output there
are two possibilities.
When forward motion detected
The weft information is not output until the controller detects that the loom has
started moving forwards.
At reverse top dead centre
This outputs the forward weft information as the loom moves over top dead centre
in reverse, note that weft output position when reverse detected must therefore
not be at reverse tdc as this would mean the reverse and forward weft are
required simultaneously and this is clearly impossible.
COLOURS BUFFERED IN LOOM
This indicates that the loom accepts weft data in advance of the required position
and stores the data internally in a buffer. The user accepts either yes or no using
the function keys, if yes is selected the number of colours buffered must be input
on the numeric keys accepting using the return key.
PICK FIND FORWARD
If the loom cannot reverse then the enabling pick find forward will allow the
controller to accept a pick find forward signal from the loom. The user accepts
either yes or no using the function keys, yes enables and no disables pick find
forward. If enabled, the number of picks backward that the controller must
generate should be entered .
AUTO SHED LEVEL

The loom supplies a shed level signal on the pick before the shed level is required
in a pick finding sequence. If this option is selected then shed levelling will not
occur until the signal is received from the loom, the shed level performed will be
determined by the stop cause which started the pick find sequence and the user
selected shed level type for that stop.
SHED LEVEL
The loom does not supply a signal at the required pick and therefore the user must
enter manual shed levelling which means that after a given number of picks in a
pick find sequence, the controller will shed level. The number of picks before a
shed level and the type of shed level are determined by the stop cause and values
input by the user for that stop cause.
ISSUE 3- 11/95
3B/61
CONTROLLER MANUAL
WARP, WEFT, AUX SHED LEVEL COUNT

Used for manual shed level to determine the number of picks in a pick find
sequence after a given stop cause before a shed level is performed.
WARP, WEFT, AUX SHED LEVEL TYPE
Determines the shed level type to be performed for a particular stop type on both
automatic and manual shed levelling. The types are selected with the cursor
function keys and accepted with the OK function key. The available types are,
Mid shed equalisation
Performs a level shed at the mid point of the shed.
Bottom shed equalisation
Performs bottom shed i.e. all ends down.
Normal shed
No equalisation is performed i.e. used to disable shed levelling for a
particular stop cause when other stops are required to shed level.
3. GENERAL CONFIGURATION
USER LEVEL
User selects the current setting of the user level,
Full access
All possible controller functions available to user.
Limited access
Only some functions presented in a simplified format are available to the
user
UPDATE DATE/TIME
The date and time can be set to the correct values when the controller is first
powered up or when system configuration is lost. The function keys are used in
conjunction with the numeric keys to enter the current date and time in the format
shown on the screen for the current date/time.
