PROGRAMS EDIT

By pressing PROG over 3 seconds, it is possible to have access to the Edit

function: this allows you a new program insertion or an existing program
modification.
By pressing ESC in any position of the edit page, you go back to the execution
procedure.

Access Code
* * * *

Blinking cursor

First of all, Access Code (Password composed of 4 key sequence) must be

correctly introduced.

The correct sequence is: PROG, +, -, ENTER.

If the sequence hasn' t been correctly introduced an error message is shown,

otherwise the edit page is displayed.
Initially the first line of the output 01 related to the last operative program is
displayed.

 (1) (2)

Prog. 01 Output 01
(3) Lin. N. 00 Advan. 000 (4)
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
01 000 000

(5) (6) (7)

In order to insert or modify a program, these steps have to be followed (during this
procedure, the blinking cursor shows the data to be programmed):

(1) To program the Program number (01-08).

Press > to go to the next field.

(2) To program the Output number (01-16).

Press > to go to the next field.

(3) This field shows the number of ON/OFF sequences programmed for the chosen
output. It is only a visualization field.

(4) To program the Advance for the programming output (000-180).

It allows you to compensate the operative delay of relays, electro-valves etc.,
advancing the controls in relation to the different machine speed, in real time.
Press > or ENTER to confirm and to store.

(5) To program the number related to the line to insert or modify.

N.B. Each cam may be programmed with maximum 99 ON/OFF sequences.
Press > to go to the next field.

(6) To program the Degree ON value (000-359).

Press > to go to the next field.

(7) To program the Degree OFF value (000-359).

The programmed ON/OFF sequence must be confirmed by pressing ENTER.
If it is a new sequence, automatically the total number of lines programmed on
the output will be up-to-date (see point (3)).

6
N.B.
• If a ON/OFF sequence overlaps another one already stored (for e.: new
sequence 90-150; stored sequence 50-100), a request for confirm appears on the
last line of the display:

Prog. 01 Output 01
Lin. N. 01 Advan. 050
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
Overl . ? ENTER or ESC

If you press ENTER the new sequence will be 50-150; if you do not want to
confirm the new sequence, press ESC.

• If two ON/OFF sequences are programmed, where the OFF degrees of the first
sequence are equal to the ON degrees of the second sequence, their result will
be a new sequence limited by the ON degrees of the first sequence and the OFF
degrees of the second one.
Example:
1st sequence - Degree ON 050 / Degree OFF 100
2nd sequence - Degree ON 100 / Degree OFF 140
New result will be a sequence Degree ON 050 / Degree OFF 140 .

• If a new ON/OFF sequence is insert when the interval 0-360 degrees is

completely programmed, the following message will appear on the last line of the
display:

Prog. 01 Output 01
Lin. N. 01 Advan. 050
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
0 - 360 ON ! Push ESC

By pressing ESC the sequence will not be stored.

7
 A - How to delete a ON/OFF sequence

To delete an already stored ON/OFF sequence, choose the number of the line to be
modified and program the value 000 for Degree ON and also for Degree OFF.

Prog. 01 Output 01
Lin. N. 01 Advan. 050
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
01 000 000

By pressing ENTER, on the last line of the display appears a request for confirm:

Prog. 01 Output 01
Lin. N. 01 Advan. 050
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
Delete ? ENTER or ESC

Press ENTER again to delete the sequence; otherwise press ESC to cancel the
deleting procedure.

8
 B - How to delete an Advance

To delete an already stored Advance value, choose the program and the output
desired, send the cursor to the 'Advan.' field and program the value 000.

Prog. 01 Output 01
Lin. N. 01 Advan. 000
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
01 050 150

To store the new value press ENTER, or go to another field by pressing < and >.

9
 C - How to delete an Output

To delete an Output (its advances and ON/OFF sequences), select the relevant
Program and the number of the output you want to delete.

Prog. 01 Output 01
Lin. N. 01 Advan. 050
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
01 050 150

Send the cursor to the 'Output' field (blinking cursor will be near it).
By pressing RST for over 3 seconds, the display shows:

Delete Output 01
ENTER or ESC

Press ENTER if you want to delete all data contained in the selected output or
press ESC if you do not want to delete them.

10
 D - How to delete a Program

To delete a Program (advance and ON/OFF sequences of all outputs), you must
select the relevant number:

Prog. 01 Output 01
Lin. N. 01 Advan. 050
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
01 050 150

By pressing RST for over 3 seconds, the display shows:

Program Delete
ENTER or ESC

Press ENTER to proceed or ESC to cancel the deleting procedure.

11
PARAMETERS EDIT

As it' s already been shown on page 2, to have access to the Parameters Edit
function it is necessary to enter in the edit page, as already said.

Prog. 01 Output 01
Lin. N. 01 Advan. 050
Lin. Dg. ON Dg. OFF
01 050 150

Send the blinking cursor to 'Prog.' field and press F1 for over 3 seconds to enter in
the Parameters Edit page.

- - - - PARAMETER - - - -
MAX ROTATION SPEED
= 350 r.p.m.

By pressing ESC it is possible to go back to the Programs Edit page.

12
The following ones are the parameters that must be introduced:

max rotation speed (r.p.m.) :

maximum operating value = 700.
On the introduced speed, the advance value will be automatically calculated (in
a brief, you introduce the machine maximum operative speed).

speed correction (r.p.m.) :

it is possible to modify this parameter from a value of -50 r.p.m. to +50 r.p.m..
The correction is operative in real time and it is proportional to the effective
rotation speed.

rotation sense :
Clockwise or Anticlockwise.
To calibrate the encoder rotation sense with the machine rotation sense, both in
accordance, you must choose the correct rotation sense.

version :
In the standard version, 5 languages are available: Italian, English, French,
German and Spanish.

To edit each parameter set the desired value by pressing + and -, and confirm it by
pressing ENTER.

13
PROGRAMS EXECUTION

The selection of the program to execute may be operative through:

A - keyboard;

B - PLC.

A - Program selection through keyboard

The operation (the programming) through keyboard is operative if the inputs

eventually coming from PLC are disconnected, or if they are connected but the
selected program number is not included from 1 to 8.
To select the program to execute it is necessary to press RST for over 3 seconds.

After the introduction of the Access Code, the following page is displayed and the
cursor blinks on 'Prog.' field (data to be introduced).

Prog. 01 --> Clockws.

R.p.m. + 000 Dg. 000
16 . .13 . .10 . . 7 . . 4 . . 1
OUT.

Through + and - select the operative program number, confirming it by pressing

ENTER.
The program will be automatically executed.

14
 B - Program selection through PLC

The PLC output configuration allows program selection:

Example:
Bit 8 Bit 4 Bit 2 Bit 1

Configuration for program 01 = 0 0 0 1

…
…
Configuration for program 08 = 1 0 0 0

W hen this selection is active and the selected program number is included from 1
to 8, the selection from keyboard is not possible.

15
CALIBRATION

As it' s already been shown on page 2, it is possible to have access from the
execution page to the Calibration (set the zero of the encoder).
This operation is possible if the encoder is motionless.

Prog. 01 --> Clockws.

R.p.m. + 000 Dg. 247
16 . .13 . .10 . . 7 . . 4 . . 1
OUT.

By pressing F1 for over 3 seconds and by introducing the access code, the display
shows:

Zero encoder ?
ENTER or ESC

Press ESC to cancel the procedure or press ENTER to confirm the calibration:
automatically the encoder position will be equal to 000.

16
HELP

From the parameters edit page, in particular from the page of the first parameter
(Max rotation speed), it is possible to call Help function by pressing RST.

This function allows you to control the encoder status and the input coming from
the PLC.

- - - - HELP SYSTEM - - - -
PC-IN/OUT --> ENTER/RST
Input (1)
Encoder (2)

(1) It shows the status of the input for the change of the program in execution.
= input ON = input OFF

(2) It shows the encoder status, displays the logic level of the encoder bit and
controls the exact performance of the GRAY code.
If an error occur, the displayed message will be 'ERROR' in substitution of
'Encoder'.
If this event happens, the problem can concern the encoder, the cable or the
input circuit.
