Transit Time (ms) -
The time taken (in milliseconds) for the flipper to move from
position 1 to position 2 and vice versa, in the range 300 ms to 2800 ms.
The following parameters dictate the function of the SMA Digital I/O connectors on the
unit. They are identical for Digital I/O Pin 1 and Digital I/O Pin 2.
Operating Mode -
This parameter specifies the operating mode
Input:Toggle Position
- Sets IO connector to input and 'toggle position' mode. In this
mode, the input signal causes flipper to move to opposite position).
Input: Goto Position
- Sets IO conn ector to input and 'goto position' mode. In this
mode, the input signal dictates flipper position, POS 1 or POS 2 as dictated by the
Button Input
or
Button Input (Swap Pos)
parameters described below. See Fig. 3.2 for
details of POS 1 and POS 2.
Output: At Position
- Sets IO conn ector to output mode, where the O/P signal
indicates the flipper is ‘at position’.
Output: InMotion
- Sets IO connector to output mode, where the O/P signal indicates
the flipper is in motion (i.e. between positions).
Digital Signal Mode
- This parameter specifies the functionality of the input/output
signal.
Button Input
- The connector can be short circuited (e.g. with button). If the Operating
Mode above is set to
Input:Toggle Position
then a short circuit causes the flipper to
toggle position. If the Operating Mode is set to
Input: Goto Position
then a short circuit
causes the flipper to move to POS 1 and open circuit causes flipper to move to POS 2.
Button Input (Swap Pos.)
- As above but the open circuit and short circuit functionality
is swapped when operating in
Input: Goto Position
mode. If operating in
Input:Toggle
Position
mode, the functionality swap has no effect and the position toggles in the
same way.
Logic Edge Input
- The connector is set to logic input where a logic transition (edge)
dictates flipper operation. If the Operating Mode above set to
Input:Toggle Position,
then a LO to HI edge causes flipper to toggle position. If the Operating Mode is set to
Input: Goto Position
, then a LO to HI edge causes the flipper to move to POS 1 and
a HI to LO edge causes the flipper to move to POS 2.
Logic Edge Input (Swap Pos.)
- As above but the logic transition (edge) functionality
is swapped when operating in
Input: Goto Position
mode. If operating in
Input:Toggle
Position
mode, the functionality swap has no effect and the position toggles in the
same way.
Logic Level Output
- The connector is set to a logic output where the logic transition
(edge) represents flipper position. If the Operating Mode above is set to
Output: At
Position
, then a LO to HI edge (HI level) indicates flipper is at POS 1 and a HI to LO
edge (LO level) indicates the flipper is at POS 2. If the Operating Mode above is set
to
Output: InMotion
, then a LO to HI edge (HI level) indicates the flipper is moving
between positions and a HI to LO edge (LO level) indicates the flipper has stopped
moving.
