Important!

 

  If you are interfacing with a 

Reliance CTL

 feed control, there will be a menu 

choice on the "Feed Initialize" menu called "SCALE GROUP".  Select "Scale 
Group" and then choose "Time Base" to set the correct unit of measure for this 
feed — "/MIN". (SFI is initialized to "/SEC").  Make this selection and then 
press Reset to return to the "Feed Initialize" menu to make other settings. 

Change Groups 

When you select 

"CHANGE GROUP 1"

, you will see this group of parameters: 

 

JOG SPEED HIGH

JOG SPEED LOW

POS. LOOP GAIN

VEL. FEED FORW.

INDEX MODE

6000.000

70.00000
5.000000

Notice that there will be actual values appearing on the screen.  These values are coming 
directly from your servo feed.  Select the item you want to change.     

In our example, we have chosen "Jog speed high" (Figure 3-4).

USE LEFT / RIGHT CURSORS TO SELECT DIGITS
USE UP / DOWN CURSORS TO CHANGE VALUES
PRESS ENTER WHEN DONE, RESET TO CHANGE

 

Figure 3-4  Setting "Jog Speed High"

 

 

As the display indicates, use your left or right CURSOR keys to position the triangular-
shaped pointer over the digit you wish to change.  Then use the up or down CURSOR 
keys to increase or decrease that value.  Go to Chapter 3 of the ProCam 1500 user manual 
if you are not sure how to use the CURSOR keys.  When you are done, press the RESET 
key to return to the Feed Initialize menu. 

If you want to change any of the other groups (2 through 4),  select that item on the Feed 
Initialize menu and then follow the previous steps.  Figure 3-5 shows how each of these 
displays look.
