Setting Up Parameters

If Index 1 is run, the Index.1.PLSStatus will activate when the position feedback reaches -4

Revs (or 4 Revs from the start of the index). Index.1.PLSStatus will then deactivate when

position feedback reaches -6 Revs (or 6 Revs from the start of the index). If Index 1 is run

again, Index.1.PLSStatus will activate and deactivate at -14 Revs and -16 Revs respectively.

Index PLS’s can be used on any type of an index.

If an index is so short (possible in the case of an absolute index) that it reaches the On Point,

or incremental distance, into the index, but never reaches the Off Point, the Index.#.PLSStatus

will remain active until the index is run again.

Similarly, if the index is so short that it never reaches the On Point, the Index.#.PLSStatus

will never activate.

Registration Parameters

The following parameters are only used if Registration is selected as the Index Type.

’Analog’ or ’Sensor’ Radio Buttons

Select one of these radio buttons to determine what signal will be used as your registration

trigger.

If ’Sensor’ is selected, a source must be assigned to the Index.#.SensorTrigger Typically a

proximity sensor is wired to a hardware input, and therefore a module or drive input source

is assigned to the Index.#.SensorTrigger, but any source can be used.

If ’Analog’ is selected, one of the analog signals must be selected in the analog list box.

Available selections are Torque Command or Torque Feedback. Then a comparison operator

must be selected from the operator list box. Available selections are > (greater than) and <

(less than). Last, an analog value must be entered for comparison.

Registration Offset

The incremental distance the motor will travel after a valid registration sensor or analog limit

value has been detected.

Enable Registration Window

This check box enables (if checked) the Registration Sensor Valid Window. When active,

only registration marks that occur inside the registration window are seen as valid.

Window Start

This parameter defines the start of the Registration Sensor Valid Window relative to start

position of this index. This is an unsigned value and is relative only to starting position of this

index. Index direction does not affect this parameter. The Registration Window Start position

(or distance) should be less than the Registration Window End position. If a registration

sensor is seen outside of this window (not between the WindowStart and WindowEnd

positions) then it will be ignored.
