Typical Errors and Defects
Techinical Info
The code ABWT.KCK identifies the operator cabin panel of Tanco AutoWrap balers. The module manages the entire wrapping cycle in automatic and manual modes, interfacing with machine sensors and the hydraulic group's solenoid valves for table/arm rotation, film cutting and reattachment, tipping/unloading and auxiliary functions.
Technical specifications
- Power supply: 12 V DC with direct connection to the tractor battery (dedicated positive and ground).
- User interface: display (4-digit/alphanumeric, depending on the version) and membrane keypad with start/stop, A/M, Add Wrap buttons, individual motion commands.
- Programming: Store memories A–J, Partial and Grand Total; operating parameters with Operator and Technician levels (protected access).
- Counting and target: setting number of wraps/table revolutions (0–99), display of cycle status and operational alarms.
- I/O: outputs to numbered solenoid valves (including the "master" valve); inputs from rpm/position sensor and limit switches for cutter and tipping.
- Protections/logic: alarm handling (film break, overspeed), stop-in-position for cutting and restart, data reset.
DIPA can intervene to overhaul these modules thanks to its experience and expertise.
Functions
- One-touch automatic cycle with wrap counting, positioning for film cutting/attachment and unloading sequence.
- Manual mode for diagnostics and single movements (table/arms, cutter open/close, tip up/down).
- Add Wrap during the cycle or on the next bale to increase wrapping turns.
- Work statistics with memories, partials and totalizers.
- Indicators and safety with messages/icons on the display and interlocks to prevent incorrect operations.
Model applications
- Tanco AutoWrap balers of various series (e.g. 13xx/1310/1320 and related models), equipped with the AutoWrap family panel
- Typical faults
- Buttons not working due to wear or dirt.
- LCD display failure (missing segments, poor legibility).
- 12V power issues (cracked solder joints, corrosion, connectors).
- Water/dust ingress damaging the internal board.
- Components burned by voltage spikes.
- Software locks requiring a reset.
Final conclusions
The TANCO ABWT.KCK is the heart of the AutoWrap cycle management: it enables reliable automation and rapid field diagnostics.
