INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for choosing a BTSR product.
With our SMART 200 TTS yarn control system, you got an innovative, unique
solution, able to offer you multiple advantages concerning quality control of your
production.
SMART 200 TTS has been designed for application on textile machines such as
twisters for tyrecord, carpet, etc., that during the working process need a dedicated
yarn quality control. In this kind of application it is necessary to immediately detect
a possible failure during the twisting process of two yarns, stop the position where
the fault occurred and signal the fault. The task of the IS3W/TTS series BTSR
sensors is to detect these twisting failures.
How to use this manual
This Operation Manual is divided into 4 Chapters and 1 Appendix.
Chapter 1 – Overview describes the main features, components and how the
system works.
Chapter 2 – Technical Data and Installation gives the necessary instructions to
install the system correctly.
Chapter 3 – Operation gives a detailed description of the necessary operations to
setup and program the system according to the application needs.
Chapter 4 – Troubleshooting and Maintenance provides a quick guide to solving
the main technical faults of the system.
Appendix A – Quick reference summarises the sequence of operations that staff
who have had sufficient experience in handling the system, have to carry out in
order to setup and program the system.

- OVERVIEW
OVERVIEWOVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
System components
The SMART 200 TTS system consists of a control/programming Terminal and a
variable number of IS3W/TTS type sensors (up to 200) connected to the terminal
using specific interface cables.
System’s Operation Principles
The sensors’ detection features: yarn collection speed (SPEED), max number of
twisting per inch (meter)(second) (TPI(M)(S) max), min number of twisting per
inch (meter)(second) (TPI(M)(S) min) sensitivity (SENS) depend on the type of
yarn (article) being processed.
These features must be programmed on each sensor and can be changed according
to the article which is being processed.
The terminal has in fact the function of programming and, as conditions change, it
can vary the sensors’ features, according to the quality control requirements;
furthermore, it has the function of displaying, by means of bars or histograms, the
number of twisting detected by each sensor on the yarns being controlled.
Special Features of SMART 200 TTS system
The SMART 200 TTS system has a set of unique features which make it a true
microcomputer dedicated to the yarn quality control.
SMART 200 TTS is a fully parametric system; this means that for each type of
defect the user can freely define the desired parametric values. When these values
are exceeded, the system signals a fault condition.
The programming (and reprogramming) phase of the sensors is limited to an
extremely quick and easy operation. It consists of communicating the name of the
article to the sensor or to a specific set of sensors on the machine, which the
sensor(s) will have to detect.
The main advantages of this solution can be summarised as follows:
Absolute flexibility:
thanks to the possibility of quickly changing the sensors’ program, according
to the article to be processed.
Maximum simplicity:
concerning the installation as well as system programming and administration.
Maximum accuracy:
the possibility of programming the detection capability of the sensors
according to the type of yarn to be processed guarantees a perfect symbiosis
between sensor and yarn.

Overview
- 1.2 - SMART 200 TTS
General Features of SMART systems
IS3W/TTS Sensors (Image Smart Scanning Sensor…) (BTSR Patents)
The sensors are connected to the SMART control terminal using just one
multi-connector cable, or specific single-connector cables.
Automatic numbering (BTSR Patents)
The identification of sensors is performed by the system by means of an
automatic numbering procedure.
Programmable Functions
The system allows programming and saving all the quality control
characteristics associated with various articles.
Multi-sensor System
The system allows connecting up to 200 yarn quality control sensors of the
IS3W/TTS series.
Easy Monitoring
Besides the information shown on graphical display of SMART 200 TTS,
each IS3W/TTS sensor has a red LED that, when flashing, indicates the type
of fault detected.
Sensor Diagnostics
Each IS3W/TTS sensor signals its operational status by means of two LEDs.

Installation
The installation of the SMART 200 TTS system depends on the type of
application and on the number of sensors to be connected. When the number of
sensors is limited, it is possible to connect them directly to the SMART terminal,
otherwise it is necessary to use a stabilised power supply PSU 10A. This is
capable of supplying up to 8 independent backbone lines to which it is possible to
connect several sensor chains (up to a maximum of 100 sensors). The number of
sensors may be extended to 200, using two PSU 10A power supplies.

Concerning all electrical systems, it is a recommended rule to ensure that the ground cable
(GND) is connected to the sensor support.
