INFORMATION
The number of write cycles in the nonvolatile memory is restricted by the limited lifetime of
the memory chip (EEPROM).
▪
Calibrate the joystick axes in PIMikroMove only if it is necessary.
▪
Contact our customer service department (p. 259) if the C-863.12 shows unexpected
behavior.
INFORMATION
It is not possible to adjust the Z axis of C-819.30's joystick mechanically and it cannot be
operated using the C-863.12's standard lookup table types (linear or parabolic) .
▪
Calibrate the Z axis of the joystick after connecting to the C-863.12 with PIMikroMove.
▪
Use the
Measure Joystick Parameters and Use Custom Lookup Table
method for
calibrating the Z axis.
▪
Repeat calibration of the Z axis if you are connecting the Z axis to another controller.
INFORMATION
The parabolic lookup table type allows greater sensitivity at low velocity.
Adjusting a joystick axis mechanically
➢
Check whether the positioner moves when joystick control is activated even though you
are not moving the joystick.
If so:
➢
Check whether the joystick is locked mechanically and unlock if necessary.
➢
Keep the affected joystick axis (that means for example, the control lever) at the center
position and adjust it with the appropriate operating elements until the positioner no
longer moves. With the C-819.20 and C-819.30 joysticks, turn the corresponding rotary
knob for adjustment (p. 94).
If not:
➢
Check whether the response behavior of the joystick corresponds to your requirements.
If so:
−
The calibration is finished.
If not:
−
Calibrate the joystick axis in PIMikroMove.
