Indicator LED Modes
The ‘Active’ and ‘Power’ LEDs fitted to the front panel of the unit can be configured to
indicate certain driver states as follows:
Limit Switch Activation
: When this option is selected, the Active LED will flash when
the motor reaches a forward or reverse limit switch.
Ident
: When this option is selected, the Power LED will flash when the ‘Ident’ button
is clicked on the APT Software GUI panel.
Motor Moving
: When this option is selected, the Active LED is lit when the motor is
moving.
It is recognised that, in a light sensitive environment stray light from these LEDs could
be undesirable. Therefore it is possible to disable selectively, one or all of the LED
indicator modes described above by clearing the associated check boxes in the ‘LED
Indicator Modes’ field.
Button Control Settings
The buttons on the front of the unit can be used either to jog the motor, or to perform
moves to absolute positions.
Button Mode
: This setting determines the type of move performed when the front
panel buttons are pressed.
Jogging
: Once set to this mode, the move parameters for the buttons are taken
from the ‘Jog’ parameters on the ‘Move/Jogs’ settings tab.
Go to Position
: In this mode, each button can be programmed with a different
position value, such that the controller will move the motor to that position when
the specific button is pressed.
