The filler function has a separate detailed specification, “Sharp Packaging Filler Handshaking”. The spec-
ification covers all Sharp Baggers and includes signature sign-off lines so that Filling machine vendors
are in 100% compliance with this specification. This also ensures proper operation of a complete system.
AUTO MODE
Filler = OFF
Auto = ON
With Filler OFF and Auto ON, the bagger will run in “Auto Mode”. In Auto Mode the machine operator manually
fills the opened bag, while the machine cycles automatically. The Auto Dwell time is adjustable using the numer-
ic entry box located just to the right of the AUTO button.
The operator initiates the first bag out and Auto Mode is immediately activated. When the bag is opened, the
operator loads the bag (Auto Dwell Timer is timing). When the timer finishes, the bagger automatically starts the
bagger sealing cycle and feeds out the next bag. To cancel Auto Mode, the operator can press the Reset Button
on the HMI.
AUTO FILLER MODE
Filler = ON
Auto = ON
With Filler and Auto both ON the bagger will run in “Auto Filler Mode”. In this mode a Filler device is used to both
fill and automatically initiate the next cycle. This is accomplished by means of hand-shaking I/O provided in the
bagger's standard control interface. The Filler device must comply with the “Sharp Packaging Filler Handshaking
Specification”.
Parts Counting
Filler = ON
Auto = ON/OFF
Parts Counter = ON
Target Count – The numeric entry next to the “Parts Counter” button is the Target Count and is adjustable from
1-999. This button and numeric entry is located on Settings 2 screen.
Actual Count – The numeric entry next to the “Parts Count” displays how many parts have been counted. This
number resets to 0 once the bagger cycle is initiated or if Part Counter is turned off. This value can be edited
from the dashboard.
The bagger has a setting for counting parts. Parts Counting mode is used in conjunction with the Filler mode.
When the parts counter is turned on, the bagger counts each part as it is being loaded into the opened bag.
When the terminal count is reached, the Filler Trigger signal is turned on to start the Filler Drop Timer.
Parts can be loaded and counted in the following ways:
Filler
An automatic filling Machine can deliver one part at a time and signal the bagger using the “FILLER DONE” input
I-11. The bagger will count each rising edge of I-11 as a single part. When the parts counted equals the target
value, the filling cycling is completed and the bagger will automatically cycle after the drop timer has expired.
