Fig14 Auto start the wrapping cycle. The “auto” command will
start the wrapping cycle at a point defined in the program
setting. This point may be set to, load bale automatically
or start the cycle after the bale loaded automatically or
wait for auto command when the bale is loaded. When
the turntable is running, an auto command will shorten
the program cycle, decelerate on the next passing of the
offload position and stop on the following complete turn.
This cycle is considered completed.
Fig15 Depressing STOP will stop the cycle at any point in the
cycle. An auto command will restart the cycle without
and disturbance of the program cycle and maintain status
of all functions operated manually between the stopping
and the restarting of the cycle.
Fig16 Depressing this button provides for the possibility to
increase the required number of table turns for the cycle
in progression. Each push will increase the turns by one
for that cycle only.
THE DISPLAY MENUES.
At the operator level there is a number of menus enabling the operator to perform various tests
and adjustments to the machine operation. Should adjustments of parameters that not are
accessible to the operator be required, please contact the TANCO dealer or TANCO.

Operating modes.
The system is designed so that the automatic mode and the manual mode are separated with a
STANDBY MODE. This means that when operated in the automatic mode, all manual
commands are ignored with the exception of the function button for the application of additional
turntable revolutions and the stop button. This also gives the advantage of interrupting and
restarting the cycle at any instant without the system loosing track of the cycle state. All
functions may be manually operated and are only accessible when in standby mode.
All safety criteria are active in both the manual and automatic operation.
STANDBY MODE.
Standby mode is the waiting state between the automatic mode and the manual mode. Standby
mode is automatically resumed when:
1. An automatic cycle is completed.
2. Between cycle steps, Example: The wrapping cycle is completed and the system announces
that it is ready to offload the bale. It is here in STANDBY for an operator command for
manual or automatic function. An AUTO command will here instruct the machine to
advance to the next logical step in the auto cycle, loading, offloading or start wrapping.
3. Stopping the cycle at any stage will bring the system into standby mode.
MANUAL MODE.
The manual mode, is accessed by activating one of the manual functions switched when the
machine is inactive (standby mode). Any machine function is accessible provided that it is a “
legal “ operation. If the operator requests an illegal function such as offloading a bale while the
turn table is incorrectly positioned, the system will refuse to perform the operation and state in
the display the reason for the refusal, enabling the operator to correct the machine status before
the requested function can be made active.

Manual 1080A & 580A TANCO CONTROLLERS Page7 of 28
AUTOMATIC MODE.
The machines are generally operated automatically during the actual wrapping cycle to the
offloading stage. The controlling system will with its standard factory settings, automatically
control the machine with AUTO commands given on the AUTO switch by the operator. For
every program step, the machine has completed, the machine will stop and wait for further
instructions from the operator.
Upon the completion of a wrapping cycle, the system will via the audio alarm and display,
inform the operator that the wrapping cycle has now been completed (program number is equal
to actual number of turntable revolutions, e.g. 16: 16). Now yet an AUTO command will offload
the bale.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM:
All functions are pre-adjusted from the TANCO factory and commonly the only required
adjustment is the turntable revolutions required.
CYCLE PROGRAMMING.
1: Programming the required number of turntable revolutions. (changing from 20 to 25 turntable
revolutions.)
2: Choosing 1 of the 9 Bale counters.
DISPLAY INDICATION. DESCRIPTION.
To enter programming mode,
push and hold the SET button
WRAP CYCLE 0 :20 0 for 1 second. The highest
value in the program number
will now flash, meaning that
it may now be changed. As
BALES : 1 324 the number is to be changed
from 20 to 25 turntable
revolutions the number 2 is
not required changed
therefore push “ SET” again
to make the lowest number
value flash. (eg. “0” )
WRAP CYCLE 0 : 250
BALES : 1 324
Pushing MENU UP will
increase the number value
between 0 and 9. Similarly
MENU DOWN will reduce
the number value between 9
and 0. In this case push
MENU UP 5 times to change
the number from 0 to 5. Now
the required turntable
revolutions will read 25.

DISPLAY INDICATION. DESCRIPTION.
To exit programming of
required turntable
revolutions, push the EXIT
WRAP CYCLE 0 : 25 0
button. The bale counter
number ( in this case counter
number 1 ), will flash and
the counter number is now
BALES : 1 324
changeable. The unit
contains 9 individual
counters and 1 counter for
the sum of bales. The MENU
UP or DOWN key is used to
change the number. If the
same counter is to be used
push EXIT again.
It is shown that the counter
WRAP CYCLE 0 : 25 0
BALES : 2 125
chosen, is counter number 2.
This counter contains a
quantity of 125 bales, stored
in the memory. If it is
required to continue the bale
counting from this quantity
and onwards, push EXIT to
return to operative mode, or
ZERO the counter on the
MENU up or DOWN key
and then EXIT to return to
operative.
A TYPICAL WRAP CYCLE .
When work begins the machine is normally transported with the LOADING ARM parked in the
vertical position. The computer registers the lifting of the loading arm as the loading of a bale.
Therefore the display will show that a bale is now located on the table. Therefore the system
will commence wrapping around an empty table, if the AUTO switch is activated when the
loading is down. Therefore it is important that the loading arm is lowered using the joy-
stick and the first bale in the first work cycle is loaded manually only.
Provided the table remains in the loading position ( C position on display ), the system allows
the full up and down movement of the loading arm, however if the system states there is a bale
on the table, movement in the upwards direction will be stopped on the load arm sensor and
lifting the loading arm further is only possible on the 2nd attempt.

Loss of orientation may occur if the controller suffers power loss during a
wrap cycle and the power loss occurs less than 3-4 revolutions before the
cycle is completed. If there are 2 or more fast speed revolutions left of the cycle, the system
will automatically regain the orientation.

ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY.
The machine will in all cases monitor the status of the moving machine parts. Should the
expected position or status of a sensor or device not comply with the safety requirements
specified in the software program, the system will stop the machine cycle at the point where an
error has occurred or when the operator requests an illegal or hazardous command. It will then
via the display announce the reason for the command refusal. When restarting the machine the
system will memorize the point where the cycle was interrupted and continue from the point
where it stopped.
EXAMPLE:
A bale has been wrapped in the manual mode. The operator stops the wrapping cycle with the
turntable away from the offload position. Now if an offload command then is given, the system
will via the display announce that this is an illegal command, writing TABLE NOT IN
OFFLOADING POSITION..”
In order to bring the machine into the correct status the operator must then using the manual
TABLE position command to bring the system back to the logical sequence state.
Similarly if a manual wrap cycle is requested and the table is not horizontally positioned, the
display will write that the table is not lowered to the horizontal position.
LOADING A SECOND BALE ONTO THE LOAD ARM WHILE WRAPPING.
When loading a bale onto the turntable, and an auto start command is given, the load arm will
automatically return to STANDBY position and the wrapping cycle will automatically begin if
the setup defines this. See SETUP, (AUTO LOAD BALE WITH LOAD-ARM: YES / NO).
During an auto cycle the operator has permanent manual access to operate the load arm within
limits defined in the program. When the operator approaches the 2nd bale and the load arm is

lowered to standby position to collect the 2nd bale, the load arm sensor is activated. When
lifting the bale and the loading arm reaches the STANDBY position., the loading arm sensor
will deactivate the load arm lifting function, preventing collision with the turntable.
After the bale in process is completed an AUTO command will tip off the bale and when the
table again is horizontal, yet an AUTO command will load the new bale from the loading arm
onto the table, again provided the system is defined to (AUTO LOAD BALE WITH LOAD-
ARM: YES)
VERY IMPORTANT.
It is not recommended that the loading arm is operated during a table tipping down
operation, as there is speed priority on the loading arm causing all other functions to go ½
speed. This may cause the table not to return completely to horizontal position after the off
loaded of the bale.
TROUBLE SHOOTING.
The system HARDWARE TEST PROGRAM is an operator accessible test facility. Combined
with the display messages, it makes trouble shooting a less complicated matter. It contains the
following:
1. Build in voltmeter that currently is monitoring the battery supply voltage from the tractor
battery.
The voltmeter will simultaneously display:
A. The instantaneous battery voltage (on load and off load)
B. The most resent voltage ( lowest voltage ) caused by activating the hydraulics.
2. SENSOR STATUS.
This program enables the operator to test the individual sensors or sensor inputs and is found in
the hardware test program. An active sensor will produce a “1” indication where an inactive
sensor will produce a “0” statement. The display also states the terminal number of the sensors.
Use the MENU – button to locate the below display.
