1.1.3.2. GS-X Safety Controller Changes

Environment:

GS-X Safety Controller

Applicable Version(s):

Legacy and new versions of the Safety Controller

Document Description:

The previous version of the Safety Controller had (1) Interlock input for a door and (1) for the masking unit. With three interlocked doors and a masking unit per pair, we had to use a (2) Y-cables to get a total of (4) inputs.

Due to compliance efforts, we had to change it so that each door and the masking unit each had its own input.

In the near future you will see that there have been two inputs added onto the front of the safety controller. These are for the two division doors. The inputs on the bottom of the safety controller are for the ball return door and for the masking unit. In the future, once our stock of this version is used, all of the door inputs and the masking unit input will be on the bottom of the safety controller.

As you know, there are two versions of the safety controller. One for pinsetters with a masking unit, and one for pinsetters without a masking unit. The input for the masking unit is deactivated on the safety controller for pinsetters without a masking unit. Only the (3) door interlock inputs are activated.

For locations that regulations allow the Hold-to-Run switch:

Until our stock is used up of the temporary version that has the two additional inputs on the front of the safety controller, you will be sent (2) Y-cables and new firmware to reprogram the safety controller. You will replace the two inputs on the front with the Hold-to-Run switch. The new firmware you install in the safety controller and Y-cables will allow the safety controller and the Hold-to-Run switch to operate like it has in the past. Once we have stock of the safety controllers with all of the inputs on the bottom of the safety controller we will not send the Y-cables and firmware. You would assemble the Hold-to-Run switch as normal and use all the inputs on the bottom of the controller.

1.3.4. No Score is Posted on a Lane While Pinsetters Function Normal

Environment:

360 Controller of string pin pinsetter

Applicable Version(s):

All

Issue:

The lane is not posting a score when a ball is thrown even though the pinsetter functions as normal.

Cause:

The lane could be in one of the stand alone mode options.

Solution:

When viewing the 360 Controller LED display on the pinsetter rear, you should see both pinsetters listed in "Scorer Control".

The left lane is in "Standalone (2-Ball)" mode and the right lane is in "Scorer Control" mode.

If the lane is in a certain stand alone mode and there are scoring or control issues on those pinsetters, change the pinsetter to "Scorer Control" mode by:

1. Turning off the pinsetter with the on/off switch to the right of the display for that pinsetter.

2. Pressing the drop down arrow for the mode option and select the mode desired, such as 'Scorer Control'.

1.3.9. String Pin will not Turn on when Lane Issued by Sync

Environment:

String Pin pinsetter 360 Control Box

Applicable Version(s):

All Sync with 360 Control Box software version less than 1.1.22

Issue:

The following items will occur indicating a 360 Control Box lock up(freeze).

String Pin pinsetter does not turn on when the lane is issued from the Sync system.
The 360 Control Box GUI will not display the options from the drop down box.

The heart beat LED on the 360 Control Box Slide-Out PCB will either be steady RED or OFF, and it is not blinking as a heartbeat.

There will be no pinsetter or pin deck lighting control from Sync desk.

Cause:

This seems to be the case when the system is not used, but still left running for a certain period of time. Although, the exact period of time the system is not used in order to cause this issue is unknown. However, it seems to be more prevalent in the residence installations where the system is more likely to be dormant for longer periods of time than an actual business that runs the strings pin pinsetters daily. We have seen this issue happen within 2 days of no use.

Solution:

The 360 Control Box Slide-Out PCB must have its firmware updated to minimum version 1.1.22 in order to prevent further lock ups caused by long period of dormant use.

If the 360 Control Box Slide-Out cannot be flashed with updated firmware at the location by a Brunswick representative, then send the 360 Control Box Slide-Out PCB only back to Brunswick to have the firmware updated to a version 1.1.22 or higher.

Removal of the 360 Control Box Slide-Out tray is obtained by loosening 8 Phillips head screws and gently sliding the tray towards you.

Temp Fix: If a lock up occurs, cycling power to the machine should clear it up temporarily and present a Slide out PCB heartbeat that is expected.

Environment:

String Pinsetter

Applicable Version(s):

With SES Control Boxes Only

Issue:

String Pinsetter is not scoring even though the pinsetter light is on and the pinsetter picks up the correct pins and cycles correctly.

Cause:

String Pinsetter Interface has had the "Pinsetter On / Scoring Enabled" switch turned to "Pinsetter On" while the pinsetter and scoring was in progress.

Solution:

Turn the "Pinsetter On / Scoring Enabled" switch for that lane back to "Scoring Enabled" and then turn off the main power switch on the SES String Control box.
Turn the main switch back on.

This will reset the SES electronics to see the pin fall data.

Title:	Tom England Control Box - Ball Elevator Motor Control
Environment:	5-Pin String Machine
Applicable Version(s):	Tom England Control Boxes
Issue:	No power to Ball Elevator Motor when one only one machine of the pair is issued.
Cause:	Faulty Control Relay
Solution:	Located in the Tom England Control Box are two cube style relays that control power to the 5-Pin String machines original ball elevator motor. One relay powers on the motor when an odd lane is issued, and one relay for when the even lane is issued. These relays will be located side by side and inserted into a blue base relay holder. If the motor does not come on when only one lane is issued, locate the two relays in the box and swap them. If the problem moves to the opposite machine and the motor will power up with the original problem machine the relay is defective. Note: Keep in Mind that Tom England’s placement of the relays in the box may differ. They may be located at the top of the box, or the bottom of the box. Use the Photo attached to see how the relays look and have the customer locate where they are placed.

1.4. Pinsetter Lighting Systems

1.4.1. Brunswick Multi-Colored LED Lighting

Environment:

Brunswick Multi-Colored LED Lighting

Applicable Version(s):

All

Document Description:

The Multi-colored pin deck light is DMX controlled. The DMX Controller we provided is pre-programmed with 26 light shows for the pin deck lights. The 26 programs allow the DMX controller to operate the pin deck lights in a stand-alone environment, without a computer interface.

A DMX lighting tech, with a computer and DMX software, can program the DMX controller to operate the pin deck lights and other DMX controllable devices. The 26 pre-programmed light shows will not work with add on devices. They only work with the pin deck light. This means that the DMX lighting tech will need to create the light shows for the pin deck lights, and any other DMX devices they add on.

Brunswick does not have any expertise in creating a DMX controllable lighting environment, especially in the creation of the light shows.

The controller is a DVC4 GOLD: Mini USB-DMX interface. 1 DMX OUT universe (512 channels) and 1 DMX IN/OUT universe (512 channels) -total Live Channels 1024.0. 128k stand alone memory. Works with DVC3 and DVC4 software. Delivered with a USB cable (no Ethernet). Power supply and plug adapter are also included. Compatible with Windows XP/VISTA/7/8/10 32/64-bit. It is pre-programmed to control the multi colored pin deck lights provided by Brunswick.

The documentation inside the box from the manufacturer has this link to the manuals and information https://www.daslight.com/manuals/#/.

Software to program the controller can be found at https://www.daslight.com/download.htm.

It is pre programmed with 26 light shows for the pin deck light. See page 26 of the attached installation manual to change the preset programs.

If they choose to not use the controller we supplied and go with their own system I've attached the information on the pin deck lights so the DMX tech can address them.

To create light shows based on bowling events (strike, spare etc). SYNC (with a data package that can be purchased from Brunswick) can send out bowling event data over the network to a customer supplied DMX server. The DMX server will interpret the data and create the light shows that the DMX tech made. The DMX tech will also need to reach out to Brunswick to request information regarding the bowling data output for the bowling-based events prior to connecting the DMX lighting to the server.
