Control via Adapter "Switchable outputs"

Two potential-free relay outputs which enable external equipment to be switched on and off (a max. of 24V/0.5A) are available for OKC and EKC machines. For this purpose, the adapter with the ident. no. 253 291 is needed.

Switching on and off of equipment:

Condition: Digitaloutput1 must be entered once via the direct entry (OKC) on the MC.

• in the "Switchable outputs" (machine settings --> additional function key --> switchable outputs) menu
• in the knitting program

key or Sintral command
OUT1=n switch on/off device 1 (on: n=1, off: n=0)
OUT2=n switch on/off device 2 (on: n=1, off: n=0)

Connection of the cables for using switchable outputs with EFS

One cable goes from the transformer (2 pin plug) with the connection I/O Box to the output OUT1 (calibration)

A double cable (4 pin plug) goes from the transformer with the stop motion connection to the output OUT2 and to the friction feed wheel connection ZX12 (yarn tension reduction and stop motion)

Feed wheels must be active.

For the EFS control, the commands are used as follows:

1.) Calibration:

• OUT1: Calibration of the EFS devices: The command must be entered in the Sintral. E.g. first draw row OUT1=1;. Second draw row OUT1=0;.

2.) Reduced Tension with machine stand still:

• OUT2: Switchover automatically takes place when activating the engaging rod.

Selection of the working yarn tension or reduced yarn tension mode:

Condition: Mode 12 of the EFS device must be 0

Settings of the mode 1 (group number)

• Working yarn tension Mode 1 = 0
• Reciprocation Tension: Mode 1 = 1
