OPERATING A V-GREEN AUTOMATION ADAPTER
Adjusting motor speed:
The motor speed for each input can be set independently. To do this, using the
screw driver provided, turn the potentiometer clockwise or counterclockwise.
Clockwise increases the speed and counterclockwise decreases the speed. The
speed ranges from 600-3450 RPM. Do this for each input.
When applying a PWM signal to IN1, the speed is based on the duty cycle. A
97% duty cycle is 3450 RPM and a 5% duty cycle is 600 RPM. Intermittent
speeds can be set by raising or lowering the duty cycle of the PWM signal.
NOTE:
When using a PWM signal as an input for IN1, if the duty cycle is less
than 5%, the Automation Adapter will not accept this input. It will be treated
as if there is no input being applied. If the duty cycle is greater than 97%,
the Automation Adapter will accept this input as a DC voltage or normal
input. In this case the speed of the motor is controlled by the corresponding
potentiometer.
NOTE:
If more than one digital input is present, then the automation adapter
will give priority to the highest number digital input. Therefore IN4 has highest
priority followed by IN3, then IN2, then IN1. To show this, the highest priority
input LED is the only input LED illuminated when two or more inputs are
present.
NOTE:
When communication between the adapter and the motor is
interrupted or lost, the motor will continue to operate for approximately 1
minute before stopping.
