On this page (picture ) shows the fail-safe function parameters. c)
- Fail-Safe – This parameter tells the receiver how to react when a
signal loss event occurs. If you set “ Enabled " then you will be able to
set the behavior of every channel independently. The “ Disabled "
option says that if no signal is being received from the transmitter, no
driving signal for the servos ( or another backup signal PPM, EX-Bus )
will be present.
- Fail-Safe Delay – The number of seconds that must elapse from the
moment of losing signal until the fail-safe is activated. This option is
available only if the Individual mode is selected.
- Each output position of the receiver has three adjustable
parameters:
Mode (Hold, Out OFF or Fail-Safe) – Dictates, how the specific •
output behaves if a signal loss occurs. Using the Hold mode, the
latest known servo position will be held. Out Off option means that
there will be no signal to the particular servo channel. The last
option, Fail-Safe, will set the servo to (user) predefined position (set
in the
"Value" column).
Value – The position of the servo after a signal loss occurs. This is •
available only when the Fail-Safe mode is selected. For convenience,
you can press the "F4 Apply” button while you are editing this
column. The selected value will then appear directly on the servo
output without the need to turn off the RF modules which would
eventually activate the fail-safe and show the set position. The
“Apply” function makes it faster to set your fail- safe positions.
Slope – This slows down the speed of servo movement while the •
output is moving from the normal position to the fail-safe
position.
The screen , "Alternative Pin Config" , allows you to modify the d)
modes of receiver output pins. The servo outputs can be configured
into Digital input and Digital output modes.
c)
d)
- Digital input mode : a logical value of a given signal pin (0 or 1 as a
result) is transmitted to the DC/DS in form of EX telemetry so that it
can be further on processed (displayed and stored to the SD card).
The receiver pins are equipped with internal pull-up resistors. To
detect logical value of a given pin it is enough to connect the signal
pin with the ground.
- Digital output mode : The channel value of a given output pin is
discretized into two values. If the channel value is greater than
1.5ms, the pin output will be log.1. Otherwise the signal pin will stay
