Sensitivity settings
The most varied influences (e.g. the machine size and motorization, the size of the
hydraulics, the subsoil condition or the sensing reference or, simply, just the selection of
a different type of sensor) may require adjusting the sensitivity settings of the MLS 508
control system in manual and automatic mode.
The control sensitivity is an indicator for how quickly and drastically the system reacts to
a control deviation.
The operator can set the sensitivity of each sensor type individually by assigning values
between 1 and 100.
Meaning of the values:
1 = very insensitive;
100 = very sensitive;
If the MLS 508 works too unstable on one side in automatic mode,
the sensitivity of the corresponding control loop should be reduced.
If the system operates too slowly, however, the sensitivity of the
corresponding control loop should be increased.
The sensitivity settings are stored separately for each sensor type and each control
loop.
This means that two different sensor types (e.g. a Sonic-Ski in ground sensing mode
and a Cross-Slope sensor) on the left control loop may have or will have different
sensitivity settings. In case the operator switches back and forth between those two
sensor types during operation, the stored sensitivity setting belonging to each sensor
will automatically be reloaded.
However, this also means that the same sensor (e.g. a Sonic-Ski in ground sensing
mode) may have different sensitivity settings when it is selected for both, the left and
the right control loop.
