USING THE ANIMATICS PROGRAM TO CHANGE STIRRING SPEED:
Connect the motor to a computer loaded with the Smart Motor Interface software via the RS 232
cable. Turn the motor on. Under the File Menu, select “Retrieve Program from Motor”. See
Table 1
for a list of the sample of the factory installed command lines. PLEASE NOTE: Lines
1-24 and 26-39 are machine command codes which include acceleration, deceleration and
starting velocity commands that
should NOT
be changed. The velocity setting for the factory
installed program is 500,000 (Line #25: V= 500000).
To double the default velocity, change V= 500000 to V= 1000000 in Line #25.
This will increase speed ~2 fold
Once the new speed is established, save the file under a new name. After saving the modified
file, send it to the motor by clicking on the shortcut key labeled: “T”. The program will be
scanned for errors. If no errors are found it will be compiled and sent to the motor. If there are
any problems, the software will tell you what to do.
To test the downloaded program remove power from the motor, wait for the LED’s to go out and
restore the power. The program will always be executed upon power up. In this case, the motor
will move back and forth in accordance with the program you have sent it. It is fully stand-alone
now and will operate without the host computer.
As an alternative to powering down the motor you can issue the “Z” command which completely
resets the SmartMotor as if it were newly powered up.
