If Unstable
Done Pxx
(Quick Stab)
From the
Quick Stab
menu.
Three different screens look like this one. They are used to quickly
stabilize the system by pressing
until the system stabilizes. The
Spyder automatically switches to the next screen if the most stable
value of the parameter being tuned has not stabilized the system.
The parameter being tuned is indicated by either a “P”, or an “I”.
If Unstable
If Now Stable
From the
Quick Stab
menu (dancers only).
The screen appears if the integrator was originally
on
and is now
off
.
If the system is now stable, the instability was caused by the
integrator. A following series of screens explains this before the
integrator is turned back on to stabilize the integrator.
“Integrator mode (I) is unstable”
“I is now off. Turn on to tune”
“Expect unstable when I turns on”
These message screens explain that the integrator is the cause of the
instability.
Integrator Time
From the
Parameters
menu.
Enter a value for the integrator time, which sets the basic response
time of the system. A value that is too high will make the system less
responsive to tension errors, while a value that is too low will make
the system quick but unstable. Factory default setting is 2 seconds.
Use of the integrator is optional on dancer systems.
IP Address
From the
Network
menu.
The IP address assigned to the Spyder to connect to a network. If
DHCP is enabled this address is ignored.
Load applied wrong way
From
Cal Sensors
menu
The load applied to the load cell (during calibration and during normal
operation) should be in the direction shown by arrows on the load
cells. See load cell manual.
Load cells are overloaded.
A load cell calibration error message.
See Load Cell Calibration
Problems
in Section 10.4.
Load very small. Maybe shorted.
From the
Cal Sensors
menu.
This is a warning message during load cell calibration. See
Load Cell
Calibration Problems
in Section 10.4.
Manual Level
In the
Operator Loop
.
When Manual Mode is selected by the Auto/Manual input (Term.12)
the Spyder control output is determined solely by the Manual Level
input Term.20 to Term.21. This value is display only.
Maximum Tension
From
Cal Sensors
menu.
Enter a value to set the upper limit of the tension range as read by
the load cells. You should choose a value for the max tension that will
have room for the highest setpoint tension you plan to run plus any
tension errors that may occur during operation within limits of the load
cell load rating. This setting also determines the scale for the analog
displays.
