Positioner Homing and Startup Sequence
Whenever positioner controller power is cycled, the positioner must be
homed. If you select Auto mode, the positioner homes itself automatically.
To manually home the positioner, set the mode to manual and move the
positioner to the forward limit switch (zero position) and then to the reverse
limit switch.
If iControl console power is cycled and Auto mode is selected, the positioner
homes itself, then goes to the Retract position to wait for parts to arrive.
When the iControl system starts tracking parts moving through the booth,
the positioner moves to the default gun to part distance from the centerline
or to the forward limit switch (whichever it reaches first) and waits for the
leading edge of the part to arrive at the lead setting.
For example, if the gun to centerline distance is 6 in. and the default gun to
part distance is 10 in., then the positioner moves to 4 inches from the
forward limit switch. On the Configuration screen, the Actual Position is
displayed (4 inches). On the Positioner Control screen the Current Position
is displayed (10 inches).
The positioner then waits until the part moves to the preset or default lead
distance before moving so that the gun tips are at the preset or default gun
to part distance.
