Internal CMOS batteries are used in PCs to keep a constant power supply to BIOS memory while the main power supply is switched off. These batteries should last up to 5 years when a PC has been left idle. Sometimes these batteries can fall flat before this time either due to being low when sent out or extended use on older machines.
The main symptom of a CMOS battery faulting on a Stuga machine is the PC not booting up when mains power is switched on which will be indicated by a “No Signal Detected” message being displayed on the screen. This is due to the BIOS setting “Restore AC Power Loss” going back to its default value of OFF due to the battery faulting. Restoring the BIOS to its original settings is a temporary fix in this situation as it is most likely this will happen again a couple of months down the line (See TB 376 or 213).
The battery required is a '''CR2032'''. In the case of the Antec PC, and most commonly, the battery is held in an open housing that can be pushed to release and easily replaced. In PCs such as the Acer Revo the battery needs to be pre-wired with a plug but still easily unclipped and replaced +

The setting of the V notch blades on a ZX3 Ring revolves around the setting of two groups of parameters:
*V and W axis positions
*Blade offsets for each blade
The rough position of V and W axes is set first, then the individual blade offsets are set, and finally a test is run to tweak the accuracy to gain perfection.
There are two “tweaking” parameters for each blade. The two parameters are:
*Depth offset – how deep into the bar
*X axis offset – position of point of blade relative to the spindle centreline +

We are quite often faced with multiple Axis/Door Open/ Estop faults all being reported at the same time. More often than not this is caused by a bad connection on the TwinCat system somewhere. If there is any dropout of connection at any point in the system it will result in this error. You could spend some time crawling about on your hands and knees, opening electrical cabinets and trying to find the fault manualy, but by using TwinCat we can save some time and effort, and pinpoint the cause almost immediately. +

This guide is to show how to amend units of measure of existing stock items.
If a new product is created please ensure the Units of measure is always set up correctly from the beginning .

Since 2022 ABB have removed the simple link from workbench to allow firmware download. This makes it trickier to upgrade an ESB unit on a saw side of a flowline to allow CANopen communication. This is needed on a Windows update.

The TwinCAT3 beckhoff systems have a special version of TwinCAT installed - the "Runtime" version XAR (eXtended Automation Runtime). This differs from the full "Engineering version XAE that is installed in the front end and camera PCs in that it is the bare bones of TwinCAT for machine running purposes. '''It does not have the Visual Studio editor in it.'''
The runtime version may need updating to 3.4024.xx to allow the latest front end and PLC code to work +

Older versions of Teamviewer are being phased out by the Teamviewer company from September 15th 2021. The advice on the website suggests you need to upgrade to version 15. However, v15 is not compatible with the older Windows XP machines in the field.
The latest XP compatible downloadable version of the Host program is 13.2 and is available [https://download.teamviewer.com/download/version_13x/TeamViewer_Host_Setup.exe here]
Regrettably, the update process on older versions is not simple, and frustratingly cannot be done remotely. It needs intervention from an operator at the machine with a small amount of technical know-how +

With the upgrade of the source code editor to Visual Studio 2017, and the associated security changes to Windows, many thing changed with the Windows .net libraries. In order to maintain the code, it needed to be upgraded.
This upgrade had major consequential effects:
# It was not compatible with windows XP any more due to security issues
# A new version of Workbench needs to be installed

Version A of this assembly has been superseded by this version, due to lack of material availability in version A. The new version is provides exactly the same functionality, is fully backwards compatible and is designed to be replaced as a complete sub-assembly.
The driver behind this upgrade is that the 2 main tubes are no longer available in the tolerances that they were. This has resulted in some not fitting inside the other, making assembly impossible. Therefore we have changed the sizes of the smaller tube (new part is D0015949 - Telescopic Pusher (2021)), and as a result updated the "top hat" (new part is D0015950 - Spring Retainer Top Hat (2021)) that fits in the end of it.
If any version of this pusher fails in the field, for any reason, it needs to be replaced with the latest version of R0000677B +

'''Update 2024''' - Upgrades now consist of a new Windows 11 PC with VM for the front end and a C6017 PC for the back end.
Upgrading an Autoflow to Windows 11 involves upgrading two PCS
#The Beckhoff control PC - replaced with a C0001225-KIT
#The Camera PC - replaced with a C0000422-KIT with a VM setup. this now becomes the front end PC

''Upgrading an Autoflow to Windows 10 on site involves upgrading two PCS''

#''The Camera PC''

*''The Beckhoff PC is now powerful enough to run the front end and back end.''
*''The camera PC is there to replace the camera PC on site and contains the storage for the machine cameras''
*''Because the Beckhoff PC has limited hard drive space, the DDRIVE will be on the cameraPC'' +
