    • Upgrading Autoflow TwinCAT2 to Win10 and TwinCAT3  + (<div class="annotatedImageDiv" typeof="
      Beckhoff C6015.jpg
      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 This has now been superseded with TwinCAT3 which then has the benefit of compatibility with version 6 front end software.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. The program "SourceTree" is used to commit, push and pull the changes [https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/what-is-version-control Click here] for an introduction to version control using Git This tutorial is a step by step guide to setting up an existing machine or diagnostic PC to a standard uses on all Stuga machines to enable quick, easy and stress free version control.

This is exacerbated by the design where it is attached and driven on from the base up A retrofit kit of parts has previously been created to allow additional reinforcement to be introduced within the structural framework. This kit builds upon the first kit to provide further accuracy enhancements by #Adding left right stability with additional slide rails at the top of the subframe #Adding front / back stability by moving the SY axis leadscrew to the same height as the saw table ====Parts required: ==== R0010272 Kit: Saw Frame Rigidity Pt 2 This kit consists of 2 carriage assemblies, specifically designed to provide further rigidity to the top of the Saw Head Assembly.

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.

      The main problems we’ve had during commissioning with these energy chains is that if they are not positioned well enough , the chain will clip the button heads that hold the trays to the L brackets To get over this the brackets sometimes need adjusting on the slots along with possibly bending into a better shape or by adjusting the chain bracket position on the slots in the ‘finger’ bracket Things to look out for: *There should be three links which are reversed at the bracket end of the energy chain. *Servo cable and the pipes and cables from the energy chain are fixed with cable ties to the fingers on the bracket to minimise possible movement and twisting which changes where the energy chain sits in the trays, meaning it could start clipping the button heads. *Tray heights and energy chain length, there should be a consistent gap all the way along between the energy chain and the top tray (viewed from inside the tray) and when at the full travel either end the chain shouldn’t be tight hitting the fence too much at the end. *It is also worth checking if all of the links fitted are the same radius type, as we have had occasions where some have been a smaller radius meaning at certain points down the rack the radius of the bend becomes smaller and falls out from the support of the top tray, especially when the gripper is at either end of the rack. There is a code on the side of each link in the energy chain. *A last thing to be weary of is is the end corners of the trays may require bending out, there have been occasions where one chain tray has been slightly more bent in than the other meaning when the chain moves from one tray to the next it clips the corner of the next tray We normally get the gripper on a reversing cycle movement to test this through the twincat project at different speeds, starting slow and working up to higher speeds.
