Coast Delay - This value determines how long the pinch rollers stay pinched on the board
after the feed motor stops driving it. This delay should be set so that the upper pinch roller
releases just before the board enters the saw blade. If this delay is too short, the board
may not be held firmly in the saw feeding system when the pinch roller release. It it is too
long, the pinch rollers will release after the board has entered the saw, possibly causing the
board to jump slightly.
Auto Mode Delay - This value determines how the machine operates when the Auto switch
is turned switched on and the machine is in run mode. This delay determines how long
the computer will allow the operator to make adjustments using the jog knob and operator
buttons before it automatically processes the board. If this delay is set too low, the operator
won't have enough time to make proper decisions. If it is set too high, the machine will
operate slowly. In general, this value should be set to 1.
Skew Bar Delay - This value determines how long (in seconds) the skew bar is given to lift
the board before the belt is moved. This should be set in conjunction with the flow control
valves on the skewing cylinder.
Pinch Start Delay - After the board to be fed is in position, this value determines amount
of time (in seconds) from when the pinch rollers actuate until the feed belts are once again
free to move for positioning the next board in front of the operator.
Lower Pinch Delay - During over/under feeding, this delay (in seconds) defines how
long the machine should allow for the lower rollers to drop before the next board will be
delivered under the board going into the saw.
Max Board Stickout - This is the maximum distance (in inches) that a board can be
sticking out of the saw and allow the lower pinch rollers to safely lower.
Servo Out Pulses Per Inch - This is a value used internally by the computer to properly
scale the input from the servo drive when measuring boards. Changing this value will
change how the board widths are measured. In general this value should NOT be changed
and should remain at it's original value of 173.375.
Servo In Pulses Per Inch - This is a value used internally by the computer to properly
scale the output to the servo drive when positioning boards. Changing this value will
change how the belts move. In general this value should NOT be changed and should
remain at it's original value of 22192.
Lineal Pulses Per Inch - This value is used to adjust the lineal measurement of boards as
they feed into the saw.
