5-8 Output Grouping & Modes
Mode 5 Operation (cont’d)
Mode 5 Programming
See Figure 28 for input terminal and group channel assignments.
1. Program OUTPUT GROUPS to establish groups and modes.
2. Use OFFSET to program the absolute offset value for any Mode 5 groups.
3. Jog the machine to the point where the group input terminal will energize. Program
a pulse in the group channel that will be on during any portion of the input terminal
signal. The smaller the overlap between the input signal and the group channel pulse,
the narrower the portion of the machine cycle in which the input signal will enable
the outputs.
4. Using the start of the overlap from Step 3 as a reference point, program setpoints
into the group output channels. Don’t overlap the setpoints with the group channel
pulse programmed in Step 3.
Speed Compensation & Modes
Speed Compensation Speed compensation will affect individual channels in an output group as programmed
through SPEED COMP.
However, speed compensation will not affect the group
channels, 91 through 96.
When using speed compensation and modes together, be aware that speed compensation
may shift an output channel’s setpoints into a pulse programmed in the group channel,
or into the position in which an input signal will occur. Depending on the Mode and the
arrangement of setpoints, speed compensation may produce unexpected results.
Figure 33—Mode 5 Example Application
The glue gun will be enabled for one machine
cycle if the sensor sees a carton during the
pulse programmed into the group channel. If a
carton is missing, the glue gun will not activate.
If the line stops, the glue gun will be disabled
immediately. To re-enable the glue gun on the
same machine cycle, depress the push-button
while the product sensor is “on.”
Note: Sensor must be active after stopping.
