)
4. Connect to laptop via USB to USB Type B communication cable.
5. Select com port in upper left hand corner of the GUI program.
6. Open the Options Tab and verify that the correct com port, full Duplex and 57.6K Baud
rates are selected.
7. Connect with the CEM by selecting the connect button.
8. Click on the ID Button.
9. Adjust
CURRENT
parameter to match the nominal solenoid current.
10. Adjust dither amplitude,
DAMPL
, and dither frequency,
DFREQ
, to optimize performance
of valve.
11. Set the SIGNAL type to voltage (0-10V) or current (4-20ma). See ANIMODE if the
signals are other than standard. Some scaling may be required.
12. Set the
MIN, MAX,
and
TRIGGER,
for the desired system output.
13. Adjust the
SYS_RANGE
to the pressure output of the valve at rated current. For
example, the Continental model VER03M-210-A-K1-24D is rated for 210 bar. Set the
SYS_RANGE X to 210. The units on this parameter is bar.
