115 | R-net Technical Manual | Chapter 3 – Programming
If set to 0%, then a full drive inhibit will be effected and the wheelchair’s brakes will not release. See also sec tions, Operation
and Inhibit Alarm, below.
If set to between 1% and 100%, the value will correspond to the maximum possible speed the wheelchair can drive.
13.16 OPERATION
This sets whether a full drive inhibit, i.e. 0% speed limit s etting, is a latching or non-latching function.
The programmable options are Non-latching and Latching.
If set to Non-latching, then as soon as the signal that initiated the drive inhibit is removed, then drive can resume.
If set to Latching, then to resume drive after the signal that initiated the drive inhibit is removed, then the system power must
first be cycled.
13.17 INHIBIT ALARM
This sets whether an audible alarm will sound in a full drive inhibit condition, i.e. speed limit setting of 0% is active.
The programmable options are Yes and No.
If set to Yes, then an alarm will sound while the full drive inhibit is present.
If set to No, then no alarm will sound.
INHIBITS - ACTUATOR INHIBITS
13.18 CHANNEL X – UP: ASSIGN (X = 1 TO 6)
The R-net Intelligent Seating/Lighting Module has three separate software inhibits for the up direction of each of its output
channels, 1 to 6. Up is defined as pin 2 positive with respect to pin 1 when the joystick is displaced forward and Invert Axi s
Direction is not set. These inhibits are referred to as A, B and C; and each can be initiated by any actual hardware input in the
system. This functionality means that any actuator channel direction can be inhibited from 3 individual sources.
The parameter, Assign, links the software inhibits to an actual hardware inhibit. For example, if Assign: A is set to 4, then the
operation of Channel x Up Inhibit will be controlled via Inhibit Input 4, which is located on the Intelligent Seating Module.
The programmable options are Off and 2 to 33.
If set to Off, then the relevant Channel x Up Inhibit can never be active.
If set to a numeric value, then the relevant Channel x Up Inhibit will be under the control of the Inhibit Input that corresp onds
to that number. Inhibit Inputs 2 and 3 are on the Power Module, Inhibits 4 and 5 are on the Intelligent Seati ng/Lighting Module,
and Inhibits 6 to 33 will be on other Curtiss-Wright or third party modules.
13.19 CHANNEL X – UP: INHIBIT IN BANDS ( X = 1 TO 6)
This sets the condition of the input (assigned to Channel x Up Inhibit) that will result in an inhibit of the actuator drive in the up
direction. Up is defined as pin 2 positive with respect to pin 1 when the joystick is displaced forward and Invert Axis Direc tion is
not set. The inhibit can be set to occur in any combination of bands. See 13 Inhibits Explained for more details on Bands.
The programmable options are Band 0, Band 1, Band 2 and Band 3.
