Introduction
Congratulations for choosing a BTSR product.
With our SMART
MATRIX QUILT yarn control system, you got an innovative, unique solution, which offers
you multiple advantages concerning the quality control of your production.
SMART
MATRIX QUILT has been designed for applications on quilting machines, that must use a
determined number of yarns with controlled tension, during the stitching/quilting operations.
SMART
MATRIX QUILT, combined with TS5/TS7 tension sensor, represents a complete and effective
machine control system.
The SMART
MATRIX QUILT system has been developed by BTSR International S.p.A. to make easier and
optimize:
• The sensor programming,
• The system configuration,
• The production monitoring.
The system is capable of self-learning the yarn sequence used by the quilting machine during a sample
cycle (LEARN) and to indicate any type of error detected during the subsequent production cycles
(excessive or insufficient yarn tension).
The availability of a “User Friendly” graphic interface allows you to quickly and intuitively program all the
operating parameters of TS5/TS7 sensors; in addition, it provides a real time monitoring of sensors behavior
and production efficiency.
Manual Objectives
This manual has been written to provide the users of SMART MATRIX QUILT system with the essential
information required to:
• Correctly install and connect the various system components (SMART MATRIX terminal, SM-DIN
QUILT Boards, TS5/TS7 sensors, etc.).
• Configure the system according to the application needs and setup the various operation
parameters.
• Detect and interpret the error signaling and system efficiency data.
• Use the diagnostics maintenance and utility functions offered by the system (system component
test, firmware upgrading, etc.).
