Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.)

Soft Start/Stop Duration

This function is only used with DC swing gate Model SWD. This function causes the operator to start and stop the DC motor slowly reducing gate wear and tear (at the full open or closed positions only). The factory default sets the Soft Start/Stop Duration to 3 seconds. The Soft Start/Stop Duration can be set from 1 to 10 seconds.

✓NOTE: Changing the Soft Start/Stop Duration will reset the open and close current setting value to zero. It will be necessary to reprogram maximum open and close current settings.

✓NOTE: This function will only be displayed in Model SWD operators set for DC motor operation with soft start motor selection.

Reset Cycle Count

The Controller counts of the number of times the operator has been activated and can display the count rounded off to the nearest 1000. To reset the Cycle Count, press and hold the ENTER button for 2 seconds while the Cycle Count is displayed.

If the Maintenance Alert has been triggered, resetting the Cycle Count will also reset the Maintenance Alert indicator.

Maintenance Alert Trigger

The Controller has a MAINT ALERT indicator that can be programmed to light when the number of activations exceeds a set number of cycles.

The Controller can be programmed so the gate will stop at a mid-travel point instead of fully opening. This can be useful in installations where a large gate, that takes a long time to open and close fully, only needs to be opened partway to allow traffi c to pass.

MAINTENANCE ALERT TRIGGER

The factory default sets the Controller for full open operation. Alternately, the Controller can be programmed to open for 1 to 99 seconds then stop, before reaching the open limit.

When a Mid-travel Stop Position time has been programmed, the gate will still fully open if the Fire Department input is triggered, if the OPEN button is held down beyond the Mid-travel Stop Position, or a close obstruction or reverse loop input is triggered.

✓NOTE: The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate operation is enabled for paired units.

SWR, SWD, SWC specifications

Linear SWC (Single Wire Control), SWD (Single Wire Debug), and SWR (Single Wire Radio) are advanced communication protocols widely utilized in embedded systems and electronic applications. These protocols enhance the efficiency of data transmission, reduce the number of physical connections required, and simplify the design process for developers.

The main feature of Linear SWC is its ability to transmit control signals over a single wire, allowing for straightforward connectivity between microcontrollers and various peripherals. This approach minimizes the complexity of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and reduces the space needed for connections, making it ideal for compact designs. Linear SWC operates based on a master/slave architecture, where the master device initiates communication, and the slave devices respond.

SWD, primarily used for debugging embedded systems, is a two-pin interface that supports high-speed data transfer with minimal pin usage. Unlike traditional JTAG, SWD is simpler and more efficient, allowing developers to perform debugging and programming tasks with fewer resources. The SWD protocol offers features such as breakpoint management, memory read/write capabilities, and real-time variable monitoring, empowering developers to optimize their code and increase debugging efficiency.

SWR is focused on wireless communication, leveraging a single wire for transmitting radio signals. This technology is particularly advantageous in applications requiring minimal hardware while maintaining robust connectivity. SWR supports various modulation techniques and can operate in different frequency bands, making it versatile for various use cases. The single-wire approach reduces the complexity of antenna design and enhances the overall reliability of wireless communications in challenging environments.

One of the key characteristics shared by SWC, SWD, and SWR is their ability to reduce power consumption. By minimizing the number of connections and optimizing signal paths, these protocols significantly decrease the energy required for data transmission. Additionally, their compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers and integrated circuits contributes to their widespread adoption in modern electronic designs.

In summary, Linear SWC, SWD, and SWR serve critical roles in the evolution of embedded systems, offering unique features, advanced technologies, and efficient characteristics. Their capability to simplify designs, reduce power consumption, and enhance overall communication quality makes them essential tools for engineers and developers in today's fast-paced technological landscape. As the demand for compact, efficient solutions grows, these protocols are poised to play an increasingly significant role in future innovations.
