2. By using the initializing function in “MENU22 INVERTER ADJUST”, it is now possible to change the Hitachi standard values to PFW’s standard values.
V4.76V4.752005/04/04Changed:
Stop signal timing can now be delayed up to 10 seconds after the fabric roll becomes full. There has been a request to make the stop signal timing adjustable on double knit open-width machines.

V4.60V4.592003/09/03Fixed:
Take-up tension data cannot be entered by the up-arrow key after the “TAKE-UP” key has been pressed..
V4.59V4.582003/08/27Fixed:
When a fabric has been successfully taken up full on the take-up unit with lapping device, “TAKE-UP” is always indicated as the final STOP FACTOR.  This has been resolved by setting time delay so that the inverter error is not detected.
V4.58V4.572003/08/19Changed:In order to install a measuring device for elastic yarn length, the following functions have been added:
1) 2 different yarn lengths per one sensor pulse can be input.

2) The stop lamp goes out when YFD OUT coincides with COUNTER ERROR.
3) ACT ERROR cannot be reset by MENU 8 ERROR RESET.
V4.51V4.502002/11/20Changed:

Revision History – ATSS/ACSS UNIT ROM for Matsushita ACI Panel (Separate Type)

Version No.Previous versionDate of revisionContents
V1.002002/02/27Newly Developed: 
This ROM has been prepared for Separate-type Matsushita ACI Panel to be used for F-frame machines and other manufacturer’s machines. (This ROM contains functions necessary only for ATSS/ACSS control.)

Revision History – ACT ROM for Matsushita ACI Panel

Version No.Previous versionDate of revisionContents
V2.61V2.592007/07/01Fixed:
When repeatedly inching the machine, the take-up unit runs in “Speed Mode”, resulting in excessively strong winding tension. When repeatedly starting and stopping the machine in “Large Mode”,  this also results in excessively strong winding tension. Now the take-up unit is run in “Normal Mode” when inching and the problem in “Large Mode” has also been resolved.
V2.57V2.522005/09/06Fixed:
In the “Speed Mode” (constant speed), the initial rotation speed of the take-up motor  is higher than the specified speed.
V2.52V2.482005/08/11Changed:
The barr problem which sometimes occurred when rolling up in “large take-up” mode has already been resolved by taking countermeasures against electromagnetic interference. In order to further stabilize take-up operation, the software has also been modified so as to achieve quicker response to the feedback from the potentiometer.
V2.45V2.412004/11/10Changed:
Now compatible with machines of smaller diameters (25” or less).
Note: 
This version should be used with Matsushita V-Frame Panel ROM V. 4.72.
V2.41V2.392004/09/06Changed:
In the previous version 2.39, the compensation amount for the large take-up mode was decided based on the average of the voltages fed back from the potentiometer. However, this method has been given up due to the slow computing speed and the original method (the compensation amount is decided based on the current voltage of the potentiometer) has been re-adopted.
  V2.39   V2.362004/06/22Changed:
1. The range of potentiometer for large take-up has been changed from 300°to 150°.  This version has been prepared for the above change. (Please note that when using this version,  it is necessary to replace the cable between the potentiometer and the ACT board by a modified cable having 1kΩ resistor.)
2. Compensation amount for the large take-up mode can now be used for ACT motor gear ratio of 1/150 in addition to 1/75.
  V2.36   V2.262003/11/18Changed:
1. Increase in compensation current in the large take-up mode
2. Improvement in ACT motor control in the speed mode
  V2.26   V2.252003/11/18Fixed:
When pressing the inching button immediately after stopping a small diameter machine, there are cases where the take-up tension becomes abnormally high.
  V2.25   V2.232003/08/18Changed:
The open-circuit error display function by LED has been enabled.
Fixed:
In the lapping take-up mode, the higher the machine speed is and the larger the take-up value is, the longer the fabric length becomes.
  V2.23   V2.222003/07/28Changed:
For single knit Open Width (OD) machines with ACT take-up, modification was made so that the ACT motor continues to run  until the set time after the stop signal has been sent. In order to use the above function, open-circuit error display function by LED was temporarily disabled.
  V2.22   V2.192003/07/01Changed:
In accordance with the change of the specification of the contact ring used for the take-up unit (from 8-pole to 6-pole), the software for the ACI panel has been modified.
  V2.19   V2.152003/06/01Fixed:
When a lapping take-up device is used on a striper machine, the spaces between boarders are not uniform.
  V2.15   V2.132002/09/27Changed:
When the variation of the number of revolutions within a predetermined time exceeds a predetermined tolerance, the machine stops automatically.　This change has been made to prevent miss-winding, barriness, needle breakage, etc. due to irregular rotation of the ACT motor from occurring:
V2.13V2.112001/09/28Added: 
Function to recognize ON/OFF status of ACT utilizing Dual Port RAM as modified V frame machines will not have ACT key switches on the control panel.
