Using the Roborun Conﬁguration Utility

• Selection List

• Text String

When entering a numerical value, that value is checked against the allowed minimum and

maximum range for that parameter. If the entered value is lower than the minimum, then

the minimum value will be used instead, if above the maximum, then the maximum value

will be used as the entered parameter.

Boolean parameters, such as Enabled/Disabled will appear as a two-state menu list.

Some parameters, like Commands or Actions have the option to apply to one or the other

of the motor channels. For this type of parameters, next to the menu list are checkboxes –

one for each of the channels. Checking one or the other tells the controller to which chan-

nel this input or action should apply.

String parameters are entered in plain text and they are checked against the maximum

number of characters that are allowed for that string. If entering a string that is longer, the

string is truncated to the maximum number of allowed characters.

Important Notice about Decimals

The use of Period vs Coma when entering a decimal conﬁguration value depends

on the regional settings of Windows. On USA PC’s, use periods. On European PC’s

use comas. If unsure, load the conﬁguration back from the controller after changing

and saving. Verify that the value that was stored in the controller is the one that was

entered.

Automatic Analog and Pulse input Calibration

Analog and Pulse inputs can be conﬁgured to have a user-deﬁned minimum, maximum

and center range. These parameters can be viewed and edited manually by expanding the

Range subnode.

The minimum, maximum and center values can also be captured automatically by clicking

on the “Calibrate” link.
