AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
Programming
The AXB-PT10, AXB-PT15, and AXB-PT30 control capabilities for camera functions include:
The PosiTrack Controllers are controlled with device-specific channel settings and Axcess
Send_Commands. You create the software programs with the Axcess programming software. Use
the programming information in this section, with the Axcess Programming Guide to create a
program to control the PosiTrack Camera Controllers. The program resides in the Axcess or
NetLinx Central Controller.
Configuration Commands
The following table lists in detail the different variables used in the Configuration Commands.
These variables consist of parameters which the commands must adhere to.
• Pan • Focus (servomotor; speed)
• Tilt • Focus (motor drive)
• Zoom (servomotor; positional) • Iris (servomotor; positional)
• Zoom (servomotor; speed) • Iris (servomotor; speed)
• Zoom (motor drive) • Iris (motor drive)
• Focus (servomotor; positional)
The commands for ZOOM, FOCUS, and IRIS output to servomotor or motor mode
MUST be configured to match the switch settings.
Variables for the Configuration Commands
Parameters Description
Outputs 1—PAN
2—TILT
3—ZOOM
4—FOCUS
5—IRIS
Level 0 (lowest) to 255 (highest) or 0% to 100%
On pan, tilt, and PWM drives for zoom, focus, and iris, level 128 will be OFF.
Level 129 and above are for the forward direction. Level 127 and below are
for the reverse direction.
Time (optional) If specified, 0 to 255 in tenths of a seconds; if not specified, at current rate.
Position 0 to 255; value of POT input. Corresponds to a position of the unit. 0 is one
end of the POT and 255 is the other end. Not directly related to an output
level voltage.
