1 Safety Instructions
1.1 Description Conditions
a) Danger of health injury or loss of life
Danger
This symbol refers to high risk for persons to get health injury or loss life. It has to be
followed strictly.
b) Risk of damage of machines
Caution
This symbol refers to information, that, if ignored, could cause heavy mechanical
damage. This warning has to be followed absolutely.
c) Note for proper function
Note
This symbol refers to an important information about proper use. If not followed,
malfunction can be the result.
1.2 List of Safety Instructions
Some contacts on the power supply board are under 230V tension! Mortal danger!
Disconnect power supply before open the housing!
Proper function of the FMS web guide is only guaranteed with the recommended
application of the components. In case of other arrangement, heavy malfunction can
be the result.
Local installation regulations are to preserve safety of electric equipment. They are not
taken into consideration by this operating manual. However, they have to be followed
strictly.
Bad earth connection may cause electric shock to persons, malfunction of the total
system or damage of the control unit! It is vital to ensure that proper earth connection
is done.
The processor board is mounted directly behind the operation panel. Improper
handling of the electronic boards may cause damage to the fragile equipment! Don’t
use rough tools such as screwdrivers or pliers! Operators handling the electronic
boards must wear a well earthed bracelet in order to discharge static electricity

2 System Description
2.1 Functional Description
Figure 1 shows a typical web guiding system with its basic components.
The sensors measure the position of the web edge and send this information as an
analogue signal to the electronic control unit. In our case a BKS309.EIP web guide
controller. The control compares the position feedback signal with the reference. If the
difference of these two values is higher than the stored dead band value, the steering
frame will be adjusted.
Fig. 1: Basic system arrangement with BKS309.EIP web guide controller K309003e
2.2 Steering Frame or Actuator
The steering frame consists of a fixed lower and a moveable upper frame that supports
the rollers. The upper frame is activated by a stepper motor. The rollers are
manufactured and balanced according to customer specification. End positions are
controlled via a linear potentiometer. A location rail for easy sensor attachment is
integrated to the steering frame. For rewind und unwind stands a stepper motor based
drive acts as actuator.
2.3 Electronic Control Unit
The micro-processor based electronic control unit handles all calculations and
communications. Parameter setting can be performed via the front panel, through a

Operating Manual BKS309.EIP

Web Browser or via the EtherNet/IP. All parameters are stored in a none-volatile
EEPROM memory. The BKS309.EIP controllers work in combination with FMS steering
frames of the type webMASTER, with steering rollers of the type webDIRECTOR, and
actuators of the type winderGLIDE.
2.4 Sensors
Optical sensors (AZS01/04), ultrasonic sensors (US01/4B) and a digital line sensor (DLS)
are available from FMS. These sensors provide a signal of 0...10V. With them, edge,
center and line guiding applications can be covered.
Note
If you retrofit a DLS2 sensor to an existing controller you have to restart the
controller after the installation of the sensor. This will allow the controller to detect
the DLS2 sensor correctly.
2.5 System Integration in an Ethernet Network
The web guide controller BKS309.EIP offers in addition to his standard features the
possibility to be used as an EtherNet/IP device in a corresponding network. EtherNet/IP
bases on the Ethernet TCP/IP and the UDP technology as well as on the CIP (Common
Industrial Protocol). The web guide controller can be embedded in a standard Ethernet
infrastructure. Its fast data rate with cycle times down to 2ms makes the device ideal for
applications in automated assembly and production lines. Configuration of the web
guide controller takes place either over the EtherNet/IP, a web browser or over the
operating panel.

3 Quick Installation Guide
In a Plug & Play configuration the set-up of the BKS309.EIP controller and corresponding
guiding unit is limited to only mounting the devices on the machine frame, wiring and
powering up system.

3.1 Preparations for Set-up
1. Read the Operation Manual of your web guide or actuator system.
2. Check your system requirements such as:
– Desired guiding form (edge, centre or line guiding)
– Unit system (metric, imperial)
– Relay or digital input requirements of your set-up
3. Draw the wiring diagram for your configuration (ref. to chapter 5.1 to 5.6)
4. If required, determine special parameters (ref. to 10 “Parameter Setting over the Front
Panel”)
3.2 Installation Procedure
1. Mount and ajust your material sensor(s) to the steering frame (ref. to chapter 4.3)
2. Mount the steering frame or actator to the machine
3. Wire the sensor(s) to the electronic unit (ref. to chapter 5)
4. Wire the steering frame to the electronic unit (ref. to chapter 5.1 to 5.6)
5. Mount the electronic unit on a place where it can be easily reached by the operator
6. Make sure the power supply voltage is in the range 18 to 30V DC (Vnom= 24V)
7. Integrate web guide controller in an Ethernet network and PLC (see chapters 7.3 and
8)
8. If required, make additional settings (ref. to 10.2 “Setting of Operation Parameters”)

4 Installation
Caution
Proper function of the FMS web guides and actuators is only guaranteed with the
recommended application of the components. Other arrangements, can cause heavy
malfunctions. Therefore, the installation instructions on the following pages must
strictly be followed.
Caution
Local installation regulations are to preserve safety of electric equipment. They are not
taken into consideration by this operating manual. However, they have to be followed
strictly.
4.1 Mounting the Steering Frame
The mounting orientation of the steering frame (indicated by an arrow), must
correspond with the web running direction. The lower frame is mounted with four M8
screws to the machine frame. The machine must be prepared to accept the M8
mounting screws.
4.2 Mounting the Actuator to your Unwind or Rewind Station
To provide the optimum function of the actuator you should mount it in a horizontal
position. Attach the housing of the actuator to the machine frame. Bolt the moving part
(connection rod) to the winding roll.
Different connectors (fork head, yoke, etc.) are available from the FMS accessories
program.
Dimensions can be taken from the data sheet..
4.3 Mounting the Sensors
The sensors will be mounted with brackets to the rail of the steering frame or to the
sensor arrangement of the unwind/rewind stand (refer to operation manual AZS01,
US01 or DLS).
The sensors have to be installed after the steering frame if seen in running direction of
the web. They have to be mounted so that the narrow side is closer to the steering
frame (see Fig. 2).

Definition of Left and Right:
Left and right are always seen in direction of the running web (see Fig. 3).
Fig. 3: Position of the sensors according to the web K400005e
Note
Make sure that the sensor(s) are connected properly to the electronic unit by means of
the delivered cables. For left / right orientation please refer to Fig. 3. If the connections
are crossed over, malfunction can be the result.
Note
For optimum control results, the sensors have to be placed next to the exit roller of the
steering frame. If the sensors are placed far from the steering frame, control dynamics
will deteriorate.
4.4 Mounting the Electronic Control Unit
The BKS309.EIP series is available in four different housing options:
1. Rail mount housing (electrical connections via screw terminals)
2. Rail mount housing (electrical connections via connectors)
3. Wall mount housing
4. Panel mount housing (stand alone and build-in in steering frame)
The mechanical dimensions can be seen in chapter 12 “Mechanical Dimensions”.

5 Wiring Diagrams
Use the original FMS cables to connect the steering frame respectively the actuator to
the BKS309.EIP controller. The connector end of the cable is connected either to a
steering frame or a BKS.D.3 / D.6 actuator. The open ends of the cables must be wired
to the cable terminals in the controller according to the wiring diagrams below (ref. also
to Fig. 4)
