Safety
This section contains safety instructions that must be followed to ensure safe operation,
loading/unloading, and maintenance of the equipment. Everyone operating the equipment
must read and understand these precautions before operating the equipment. OSHA and state
safety agency rules must be complied with in addition to those given in the safety section and
elsewhere in this manual. Applicable plant general safety practices must also be followed.
BACA Systems designed your Miter X with safety in mind. Throughout this manual, safety
precautions and warnings are highlighted for specific operations. Safety precautions are also
posted on the equipment.
On-site safety and engineering personnel should develop and maintain proper work
instructions for this machine which incorporate general and specific safety instructions as found
in this manual.
On-site safety and engineering personnel should develop and maintain proper lockout-tagout
procedures for this equipment following applicable local requirements. If unsure of these
requirements you should contact your state or federal OSHA representatives.
Make a routine daily inspection of the entire machine before operating it. Visually check all
parts of the machine for abnormal conditions. If any issue is noted report it immediately to your
supervisor for immediate correction.

Never attempt to perform any maintenance functions or clean around the equipment while the
system is in operation.
Safety procedures and precautions must always be observed while working on the Miter X or
any part of the installation. Service should only be done by qualified personnel.
Personnel must take extra precautions when working on electrical systems in a damp or wet
area.
Use Proper tools. Make sure tools are well insulated for the job.
Never bypass or alter protective interlocks or devices unless specifically instructed to do so and
all precautions are followed.
Make sure that all tools, parts, rags, etc., are cleared from any moving parts after servicing the
equipment.
Control panel doors and junction boxes covers must be closed after servicing.
Do NOT use jumper wires across fuses or fuse holders. Repair any electrical issue properly
before placing the equipment back into service.
Operators must wear protective equipment when working around the Miter X. Operators must
wear goggles or safety glasses to guard against spray and flying debris. Operators and others
exposed to noise levels above 90 dBA for more than 1 hour must wear suitable hearing
protection. Operators must protect themselves from Dust Inhalation hazards that may exist
near the machine.
BACA Systems recommends that plant/work-site safety personnel approve all safety equipment
and/or requirements for everyone working on or around the Miter X.
Proper LOCKOUT/TAGOUT procedures must always be followed when servicing and/or
maintaining the Miter X. Be aware that live electrical circuits are present in the control cabinet
whenever the master disconnect is ON, regardless of whether the estop button is pressed or
released.

Stage 1
Stage 1 of service for this machine would be helping the customer to solve minor issues. Some of this
problem would be a misunderstanding of how the machine works or minor sensor or valve issues. With
this service stage, you can ask the customer to look at LED on the PLC or as well as indicator on the
sensor or the valve if it does what it suppose to do.
Stage 2
Stage 2 of service for this machine would be helping the customer solve a more serious issues such as
the sensor or valve need a replacement or there is a fault on the either motor. With this service stage,
you can ask customer to connect the ethernet switch to their laptop, ask them to provide a team viewer
id and password so we can access the PLC by using their computer web access. Below is a step by step to
access the PLC through the web access:
1. Open Google chrome. Type HTTPS://10.0.10.1. Press “Advanced” and press “Proceed to
10.0.10.1” Figure (2.1.1)
2. Once the page is loaded up, press enter. Figure (2.1.2)
3. Open watch tables and based on the problem there are different watch tables that you can
access. (Figure 2.1.3)
oFor valve and sensor issues, open “InputOutput_Status”
oFor saw communication issues, open “SawVFD_CyclicStatus”
oFor carriage communication issues, open “CarriageVFD_CyclicStatus”
oFor saw fault, open “SawVFD_Status”
oFor carriage fault, open “CarriageVFD_Status”

InputOutput_Status
Inputoutput status page will show you the status of the actual input and output of the machine.
This page will help you determine if the input or the output of the machine is comparable to the
physical movement of the machine. (Figure 2.2.1)
Figure 2.2.1
SawVFD_CyclicStatus
SawVFD_CyclicStatus page will show you the status of the saw VFD status. This page will help
you determine if the communication between PLC and saw VFD is valid and compare between
the program action versus the physical action of the machine. This page will show you real time
value of actual speed, current and torque of the saw. This page will also show yo real time fault
and warning of the systems. (Figure 2.2.2)

V1.02 Revised 12/17/2020
CarriageVFD_CyclicStatus
CarriageVFD_CyclicStatus page will show you the status of the saw VFD status. This page will
help you determine if the communication between PLC and carriage VFD is valid and compare
between the program action versus the physical action of the machine. This page will show you
real time value of actual speed, current and torque of the Carriage. This page will also show yo
real time fault and warning of the systems. (Figure 2.2.3)

Stage 3
Stage 3 of service for this machine would be helping the customer solve a more serious issues such as
the sensor or valve needs a replacement or there is a fault on either of the motor. This stage would be
identical with stage 2, the difference is that we can remotely access and change the bit on the PLC. To
access this stage, please contact engineering department for access and remotely operate the machine.
This stage will also provide us the ability to change the torque limit value of the saw and carriage. Please
be aware and remind the customer that if this value is changed and is requested by the customer, the
warranty of the machine will be void.
This stage also gives another access for different watch tables called Debug(EngineeringOnly)(Figure
2.3.1). Please contact engineering department if stage 3 is needed.
Figure 2.3.1
Stage 4
Stage 4 of service is for major issues in the machine. Example of major issues such as require
replacement of saw motor or carriage motor, require replacement of Saw VFD or carriage VFD, require
replacement of PLC, etc.
Please contact engineering if stage 4 is needed. Before contacting the engineering department, make
sure all the previous step is attempted and completed.
