Slew Restriction
There are two modes of slew restric�on:
�
Angular
restricts the slewing of the machine between two user determined angles.
�
Virtual wall
restriction allows the machine to operate to a limit determined by a virtual wall placed
parallel to the rails.
WARNING - THE SLEW RESTRICTION FUNCTIONS ARE DESIGNED TO BE
USED AT SLOW SLEW SPEEDS ONLY. USE AT SPEED MAY RESULT IN AN
OVERSHOOT INTO A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS POSITION.
The buttons in the user se�ings menu indicate the current func�on of
the button. Therefore, when the system is ac�ve then the button will
say
“Slew Angle is ON”
and requires a button press to switch it off. In
addi�on the slew restriction status is shown on the front screen as part
of the slew posi�on graphic, as depicted in the graphic on the right.
Entering of slew limits
Press
MENU
and select
“Slew Angle is OFF”
.
When asked if you wish to enter slew Limits, select
“YES”
.
Using the keypad enter the clockwise maximum
angle. Press the
“OK”
button.
Then enter the counter clockwise maximum angle.
Press the
“OK”
bu�on.
The button on the restric�ons page will now show
“Slew Angle is ON”
and the main operator display
will change to indicate angular slew limits.
The limits are shown below the slew angle.
(see graphic at top of this page).
If the preset angles are exceeded then the
appropriate slew motion cut is applied, and the
slew motion cut icons on the operator display
change colour to RED to show the slew service is
cut.
Angular slew limits shown next to the slew angle on
the main operator screen.
