3 Theory of Operation
The ATD 50 Actuator
®
is controlled using a built-in microprocessor computer. The
microprocessor is programmed to provide optimum motion control and safe
response to obstructions. Internal parameters can be changed by authorized
service personnel to customize the installation. The software can be modified for
each installation.
The ATD 50 Actuator
®
is completely self-calibrating. Upon power-up, the unit
automatically adjusts to the opening width of the machine. During the OPEN and
CLOSE motion, the unit finds the end-stop positions of the door. Therefore, the
door width is not limited in any way.
The internal drive motor is operated by a variable frequency converter which
provides the optimal speed and torque for each movement. The motor speed and
torque are continuously monitored thereby providing a sensitive and accurate
electronic reversing feature ( see Section 11.3).
