sors in good working order.

EQUIPMENT SAFETY FEATURES

The Sharp SX GO™ is equipped with a polycarbonate

shield covering the Jaw and Bag Open Fingers.

DO NOT operated the unit with this feature re-

moved.

OBSTRUCTION SENSING JAW

The Sealing Assembly is equipped with Obstruction

Sensing Sensors, which can detect an obstruction in

the Sealing Area. If the Jaw Sensors detect and object

preventing the Jaw from closing, the Obstruction Sen-

sors de-energize and place the machine into a fault

condition.

A message appears in the display informing the Oper-

ator of the Jaw Fault, allowing the Operator to clear

the Sealing Area and reset the bagging cycle.

nique that logically controls each machine action

(step) in sequence and verifies that the correct

action occurred with sensor feedback.

 Simplified layout of digital outputs in PLC pro-

gram for ease of troubleshooting.

 Improved fault handling that can display multiple

fault conditions simultaneously.

 Simplified operator set-up.

 Displays all PLC I/O status, including Expansion

I/O.

 Manual pushbuttons on Service Screens provide

both text and color cues as to the state of the

device.

 Help Screens show setting range and default

values.

 Speed settings in inches/second instead of raw

numbers.

The materials used were selected for maximum dura-

bility and optimum performance. Every unit is thor-

oughly inspected and tested prior to shipment.

SX GO™ Operator Manual©Original Printed in English

The Sharp SX GO™ is designed to use a wide variety

of bag sized and materials. Sharp EZ-Bags© are rec-

ommended for optimum operating performance, effi-

ciency and safety. System performance specifications

are base on utilizing consistent, high quality, pre-

opened bags. Any bag used must meet Sharp Pack-

aging Systems’ manufacturing tolerances. The follow-

ing list shows so me of the Sharp EZ-Bags© films

available through Sharp Packaging Systems, Inc.:

E-Z Bags©

 General Purpose

 Xtreme Poly (XP)

 Ultra

 HD Mailer

 Sharp Packaging High Density (SPHD)

 Polypropylene

 Sharp’s Military Specification Film

SX GO™ Operator Manual©Original Printed in English

MODES

The bagger has four distinct operating modes: Manual, Auto, Filler, and Auto Filler. Manual and Auto modes

are built into the machine and require no optional equipment or changes to the Factory Configuration. Filler and

Auto Filler are optional and must be setup in the Admin and Setting II Screen.

To better define these terms, a Filler is a machine such as a weigh scale, vibratory bowl, or infeed conveyor that

will fill the open bag with product, prior to sealing the bag. A Filler requires the use of Handshaking I/O between

the bagger PLC and the Filler, so that the Filler will know when to deliver product to the bagger and the bagger

will know when to cycle.

The term AUTO refers to how the bagger cycles. If the machine cycles bags continuously without the operator

manually initiating each cycle start, not including the first bag out, then the machine is cycling automatically

(AUTO). If each bagger cycle requires the operator to manually press a cycle start button, foot switch, etc., then

the machine is said to be cycling in Manual Mode.

MANUAL MODE

Filler = OFF

Auto = OFF

Both the Filler and Auto buttons are OFF at the HMI. In manual mode, the operator hand loads or fills each

opened bag and then cycles the bagger. The operator initiates a cycle by one of these methods:

 Pressing the Cycle pushbutton on the HMI

 Operating the Foot Switch

In manual mode, the machine cycles one bag at a time. Cycle rates in this mode are largely dependent upon the

loading speed of the operator.

Filler Mode

Filler = ON

Auto = OFF

With Filler ON and Auto OFF, the bagger will run in “Filler Mode”. This mode cycles a single bag out each time

and requires the operator to initiate a Cycle Start for each bag. In this mode, a filler device or machine does the

actual loading or filling of the open bag.

The Filler uses handshake signals to synchronize with the bagger for product delivery. A bagger output, signals

the Filler to deliver product and a bagger input, signals when the Filler is done. For example, Filler Mode could

be used when an operator is hand loading literature after the infeed conveyor delivered its separate part or com-

ponent.

Ready for Filler (O-13) – The bagger PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) turns on this output as follows:

 The machine has successfully completed a cycle and presented a new bag. Once the above condition(s)

is (are) met the PLC program turns on O-13, essentially telling the Filler device that a bag is present and

ready to be filled. The filling device releases its product into the open bag.

Filler Done (I-11) - The Filler device will turn on the bagger PLC input I-11. This signals the bagger that the filler

has completed delivery of the product. The filler machine must include a dry contact isolation

relay for its signaling device to ensure electrical isolation between the Filler and the Bagger PLC.

THEORY OF OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

1-6

 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.
