screen of Figure 4.3.
NOTE: It is absolutely critical to set the upper and lower limits correctly before calibrating a rotary slide adjust system. The calibration process uses this information to map the turns from the dual resolver into the measurement space of the slide. If the upper and lower limits are not set correctly, the
system may fail to calibrate!
b)Press the “CALIBRATE SLIDE” softkey in the slide configuration screen of Figure 4.3.
c)A screen will appear with a warning that calibrating the slide should not be undertaken without first reading this manual. Press the “CONTINUE SLIDE CAL.” softkey to continue the calibration process or “EXIT” to return to slide configuration.
d)Now the screen should warn that the upper and lower limits must be set correctly before continuing slide calibration. See step “a” above. Press the “CONTINUE SLIDE CAL.” softkey to continue the calibration process or “EXIT” to return to slide configuration.
e)The number of resolver turns must now be set. Use table 4.3 to find the correct number of turns for the resolver used in the system.
| Table 4.3: Resolver Turns |
|
Manufacturer | Model # | Turns |
AMCI | 100 | |
AMCI | 180 | |
Patriot (GEMCO) | 64 | |
Patriot (GEMCO) | 128 |
Press the “CONTINUE SLIDE CAL.” softkey to continue the calibration process or “EXIT” to return to slide configuration.
f)The system now needs an upper calibration point. With the press as near as possible to bottom dead center (180 degrees), use the “JOG UP” and “JOG DOWN” softkeys to take the slide near the top of the adjustment range. The slide should be slightly lower than the upper limit that was entered on the slide configuration screen. Take the measurement of the shut height in this position as carefully and accurately as possible and without moving the slide enter the number as requested on the screen.
NOTE: It is very important to make as accurate a measurement as possible for the Upper and Lower Calibration Points. If these measurements are wrong, then the slide position reported by the system will also be wrong!
