  Autoflows from A2001 to A2015 were initially produced with TwinCAT2 software. This has now been superseded with TwinCAT3 which then has the benefit of compatibility with version 6 front end software.
  
  The original PC cannot be used because
  
  *It is not powerful enough to run v6 front end
  *The operating system cannot be upgraded to Windows 10
  *It cannot be upgraded to TwinCAT3
  
  
  The Beckhoff C6015 PC has been chosen to be the replacement PC. It is compact, yet powerful enough to run the v6 front end and TwinCAT in the same
  . It has an upgrade to 1.9Ghz 4 core processor.
  
  Because it has a limited 40Gb SSD memory, a compact 64Gb memory stick is inserted into the USB 3.0 port. This acts as a separate drive for the DDRIVE dynamic storage for all machine setup. The internat drive is for the Operating System only. This mimics the current Autoflow setup of a remote Camera PC, hence the camera PC can be retired after the upgrade

  Click [https://stuga.dokit.app/wiki/Changing_Version_Control_to_Visual_Studio here] for the latest procedure For many years, the source code for the PLCs has resided on the G:\drive and then a copy on each and every one of the PCs used to edit the code, so at least one on each machine. This is a recipe for disaster because maintaining all the copies and version numbers is incredibly difficult and adds a lot of time overhead to fixes and changes. This has worked because there has been only one developer, but this is set to change in future as more programmers will be trained and tracking versions becomes more difficult From 2020, the PLC code version control has been improved by using an industry standard source control system called "Git" along with "BitBucket" to store the PLC code in the cloud.

• TB450 - CMOS Battery replacement  + (Internal CMOS batteries are used in PCs to … 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.

This could be quite time consuming and required multiple tests and measurements to get it right. Four variables were used for each V notch and it is not straight-forward to get the shape, depth and position correct. On the new ZX5 the '''shape''' of the V notch is set mechanically and once set it should never need changed again, but remember that some customers sharpen their V notch blades instead of replacing them. The following was carried out on the rear V notches using some standard outerframe but the process is exactly the same for the front. Once set you can use the usual software settings to increase/decrease depth and to align back to back. The overall process is: # Set the shape of the V notch (Mechanical adjustment) # Set the Depth of the V notch (Software adjustment in Notching Tab) # Set the Position of the V notch (Software adjustment in Notching Tab)

• Beckhoff AX8000 Flowline Upgrade  + (The Flowline range (Mk3, ZX3, ZX4) are Stu … The Flowline range (Mk3, ZX3, ZX4) are Stuga built and designed machines for prepping and cutting uPVC windows and doors. The Flowline is the first machine of the Stuga 'U' shaped machines which has prepping and cutting working in the same machine package. The Flowline is still a fantastic machine for the industry, however, due to the age of the machines and older control systems becoming obsolescent, we have had to find an upgrade route that does not only keep the machine going, but also provides improvements from the original model and up-to-date technology to future proof the machine. The upgrade that we have developed for the Flowline is supplied from an automation supplier named Beckhoff. We also use Beckhoff on our new build machines. This gives us better lead times, more understanding of the products and better diagnostics/ support for our customers. The drive system that we use is called the AX8000 series. These drives are a compact multi axis servo system that use an EtherCAT interface and STO safety functions. These servo drives, coupled with Beckhoff AM8*** series OCT servo motors provide quicker installations and all round performance increases from any system we have previously used. To drive all of the new system, we are using a Beckhoff IPC controller that runs TwinCAT 3. This links into the system via EtherCAT. All of the machine can now link together via EtherCAT to provide quick and stable communications. This tutorial will give you step by step guides on the physical upgrade requirements needed when upgrading a Flowline Mk3 to a Flowline Mk3 with Beckhoff AX8000 Control. Each step will provide you with written information and pictures to guide you through the upgrade. Each step will contain necessary information which will also provide you with rationale for the design and an idea of the benefits over using different methods. Please always feel free to provide Stuga with any feedback on this document or its contents.feedback on this document or its contents.)
• GE Control Components Changeover  + (The GE control components are now obsolete … The GE control components are now obsolete and we have had to find a new manufacture to use. We have decided to go with Eaton control equipment for this. We are using the same supplier for these products and we have the added benefit if the supplier holding these parts in there stores. We had a choice to use either ABB, Eaton or Schneider components. Although all of the individual Eaton components are a direct replacement for the GE components, there are certain situation that we may be tripped up. This includes times when we need to change a motor breaker that has an auxiliary block connected to it. We can change the breaker but the GE auxiliary block will not fit on the new Eaton one. This means that the Eaton components need to have different part numbers to the GE components. This document will layout the new part numbers and what they relate to and instructions on how they are added and changed in the Sage system. are added and changed in the Sage system.)

Input and output activation when testing the sole module is done through the Twincat project rather than through WinMulti The above is only required If the Machine is not fully installed and connected with power air and network already.

In general, this makes it easier to set up, because the overall centralise position can be changed in software , rather than adjusting a cylinder offset, and also to fine tune the centralise position for different profiles
  
  ...With the ability to tweak settings comes the real danger that too many tweaks cause confusion. Therefore when setting up, ensure all fine adjustments are reset to zero. Be aware that changing the arrow head position permanently will also alter Y notch depths

There are two “tweaking” parameters for each blade.
