Slow Speed

The iNetVu

software basis the default azimuth motor slow speed on the platform size

and type. See appendix 3, table 5 for details. The user may change this value, however

changing such value could result in difficulty with satellite acquisition.

Limit Switches (ST_DIS, LR_DIS)

Allows for enabling and disabling the ST (STOW) and LR (Azimuth Left and Right) limits.

A check mark in the box implies the limit has been DISABLED. By default the boxes are

left unchecked. Please be advised that disabling any of these limits should be done

under the direct supervision of a C-Com Satellite Systems Inc. technical support

representative.

Note: The LR limit is for future development purposes, and is not functional at the time

of publication.

Current Settings

H_P_C (9) and L_P_C (6) represent high platform current (Amps) @ speed 9, and low

platform current @ speed 6 respectively. A software controlled current protection for the

Mobile Platform’s elevation motors. For Motor Speeds that are not listed (Speed 1, 2, 4,

5, 7, 8), the Current Limit for those speeds is calculated using a percentage of the

Current Limit @ speed 6 and 9. See appendix 3, table 5 for the default current limits for

all iNetVu

Mobile Platforms.

• Current Limit 8 – 90% of Current Limit 9

• Current Limit 7 – 80% of Current Limit 9

• Current Limit 5 – 90% of Current Limit 6

• Current Limit 4 – 80% of Current Limit 6
