features. The system is designed for uninterrupted operation in harsh factory environments, with
features for quick job set-up.
The ekr DIGICON system is composed of a display unit connected to one or two remote sensor
heads. Pairs of ultrasonic or infrared sensors can also be mounted on a motorized support driven
by the display unit. The display unit controls an electrical actuator having two limit switches and
one servo centre sensor. The display unit can also communicate with a remote computer using an
optional serial link.
The display unit is fitted with a touch LCD display. The display unit connects to the other parts of
the system using cable connections. The display unit is fitted with a touch LCD display. The display
unit connects to the other parts of the system using cable connections.

4.2. Menu Pages
OR
OR
To select the various menus use the icons at the bottom of the display.
ekr DIGICON
The web guide control system can operate in three different modes:
• Manual Mode: this mode allows the manual control of the web guide. The display
shows the measured web position error and the actual position of the web can be
modified manually from the icons. On certain conditions an alarm indicator is activated.
• Automatic Mode : this mode measures the web position error and regulates the
web guide using a PID automatic control algorithm. The display shows the measured web
position error and, on certain conditions, an alarm indicator is activated.
• Servo Centre Mode : by choosing this mode the system initializes a new job by
moving the actuator in its central position.
• Setting Mode : this setup allows the user to select the type of control (automatic or
manual, left edge control, right edge control, line control, contrast control), the number of
sensors used and, in case of an optical sensor, if the light has to be direct or diffused. In
this mode, you can select:
− Parameters setup : this setup allows to set the parameters of the system (like
the ones used by the PID algorithm to control the web guide).
− Calibration : calibrate the sensor. The calibration screen will appear and you
will need to press OK to start it.
− Scanning sensors control this mode allows the control of the scanning sensors
with motorized bar (it must be activated by the parameter MOT)
IMPORTANT:
When you restart the system (by removing the power supply), the device will start in
the last mode it was before switching off.

5.5. Parameter Setup
The device parameters determine the system behaviour. They are numeric values used to
program and configure the ekr DIGICON system. The parameters values should be checked for
each specific application. It is advised to write down the programmed parameter values after
installing the system. Programming of these parameters requires a good knowledge of the system
functionality and of the meaning of every single parameter.
The parameters have default values but they can be changed by an enabled operator.
By default the system is not password protected. If the password feature is enabled, the operator
needs to enter the correct password to change the parameters.
To enter the menu parameters, press the icon and then enter the menu by pressing the
icon

closed) the external contact, it will start to read with sensor 2 (CN 104). The
motor will correct exactly in the opposite direction to the previous one.
By setting the sensor with S2 (in the sensor menu), the external contact open
implies the reading is done by the sensor 2 (CN104). On the contrary, by
