8. ROE RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
The response characteristics of the ROE are fully adjustable. For purposes of simplicity, this
manual indicates limited adjustment to the values preprogrammed in factory installed
Setups. It is possible to further tailor ROE response to your usage. The following list outlines
the part of the controller menu and the corresponding part of the MP-285 Reference Manual
which deals with each adjustment.
8.1 Controlling ROE Knob to Manipulator Stepper Motor Axis Assignment
The MP-285 software allows full control over which ROE knob is connected to each of the
three physical axes of the manipulator. Furthermore, one can control the direction of
movement commanded by a given input. Axes assignment is covered in the manual under
Controller Configuration and is adjusted using the menu command [PRGM\Setup\Axes].
8.2 Controlling Movement Amount per ROE Turn
How much and how fast the MP-285/M manipulator moves in response to a single turn of the
ROE knob is controlled by a single parameter for continuous movement and two parameters
for pulse movement. These parameters are described in detail in the MP-285 Reference
Manual under Controller Configuration and are adjusted using the menu command
[PRGM\Continuous] for continuous movement and the command [PRGM\Pulse Mode] for
pulse movement. A subset of these parameters can also be adjusted during movement using
the menu command [MOVE\1,2,4 or 5] as described in the Movement Screen section of the
MP-285 Reference Manual
