5.2.4. Main Control Window (Speed Control)
This window provides the main control window for the board
It includes the following features
a. RPM Control
Allows manual control of the motor including speed and direction.
The speed reference can be varied using the “RPM CONTROL” pointer, which can be either moved
with the mouse, or with the value written, directly into the text box. A value written as a positive
value (i.e. 3000) will operate the motor in a clockwise direction, with a value written as a negative
value (i.e. -3000) will operate the motor in the reverse (Anti-clockwise) direction
“PAUSE”, “GO” and “REVERSE” control buttons are also included.
The “DEMO” button enters the pre-set demonstration command sequence, which operates the motor
with the same sequence as described previously for the “Stand Alone” demonstration. (i.e. the same
operation as pressing the button P4 on the board). No other settings are required
The two bars shown in the RPM Control wheel indicate the “minimum speed” point as set in the
parameter settings. Below the minimum speed the motor does not operate and above the minimum
speed the motor operates normally at the reference speed set. The setting of the minimum speed can
be displayed by the tool tip as the mouse is moved over the minimum indicator. This is the value set
in the parameter settings window.
b. Property Monitor
This windows shows the main motor operating parameters
The monitor graph can be set to display any of monitored properties, by clicking on the required
property to be viewed
