Description of Treadmill Controls
Overview and Basic Functions:
The WOODWAY treadmill control is equipped with various elements which adjust the
speed and incline systems, allowing for complex control sequences and carrying out of
safety and monitoring functions together with pulse measurement. The hardware
consists of a micro-controller system based on the SAB80C537 with peripheral
switching to the motor control and sensory components and to the control interfaces.
The following control units can be connected as options for parallel operation:

Function buttons (FASTER / SLOWER / UP / DOWN / STOP / FAST STOP)

LED display for speed / incline / time / distance / pulse (in preparation)

WUS (LCD touch display with menu guide and access to complex functions)

Chip card connection component in WUS

PC / ECG equipment or similar via serial interface (implementing various
protocols)
The control assumes the following basic functions:

Measurement and control of speed and incline

Measurement of time, distance, and pulse

Interpretation of control activities with safety priority control

Time control for running programs

Interactive pulse control

Entry and monitoring of parameters for limit and operating values

Operating hours counter for switch-on and running time, total distance, incline
mode

Monitoring and safety functions
Treadmill Control:
Once the system has been switched on, the control is in the initial status. It can be
switched to four different control modes:

Manual mode / WOODWAY standard protocol

External protocol (e.g. ECG appliance)

Program control

Pulse control (interactive)
Each of these control modes has a STOP and a RUN status.
Transition between the control modes can be triggered by RS232 commands or from
the railing panel. The WOODWAY standard protocol allows for "remote controlled"
manual mode, for direct specification of speed and incline and for a query to see all
measured values and some parameters (see command list). Access to the more
