Abstract:
1. A data structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium controlling a bulk material baler comprising: an instruction to a moveable guide track section support strut assembly to move from a removed position to a closed position when a compression apparatus advances a volume of bulk material to be baled into a compressed position in a baling station; an instruction to an electro-servo motor of a bale wire feed drive to feed a predetermined length of bale wire into a guide track loop when said moveable guide track section support strut assembly reaches said closed position, wherein said predetermined length of bale wire is determined by a number of rotations of a drive shaft of said electro-servo motor of said bale wire feed drive; an instruction to a wire cutter to cut a proximal end of said predetermined length of bale wire; an instruction to a wire knotter to knot a proximal end portion of said predetermined length of bale wire together with a distal end portion of said predetermined length of bale wire; an instruction to said moveable guide track section support strut assembly to move to said removed position after said proximal and distal end portions of said predetermined length of bale wire are knotted together; and an instruction to said compression apparatus to release from said compressed position after said moveable guide track section support strut assembly is moved away from said compression apparatus.
