TCM Operation Manual
FRONT PANEL BUTTONS
There are eight touch sensitive buttons on the front panel of the TCM used to set the crosshead speed, set the modes of operation and control the motion of
the crosshead. The haptic buttons vibrate when the command is registered by the TCM.
The buttons are as follows:
•
Start/Stop
•
Return to Zero (RTZ)
•
Jog Up
•
Jog Down
Start/Stop
The Start button will begin a test at the speed indicated on the display. The direction of the test is indicated by the flashing Compression or Tension
arrows. The Stop button will end any travel movement of the TCM and the display will flash
END
. To start, hold for more than 0.5 seconds.
Return to Zero (RTZ)
Hold the RTZ button for 0.5 seconds to start the return to the home location at max speed (unregulated max speed, but ≥ 40 in/min).
During return, the display will flash between
RTZ
and
UP
or
DN
to indicate the direction of travel. Once the unit has reached the home position,
RTZ
will revert back to indicating the net machine travel speed and show
0000
to indicate that the crosshead has reached the Zero Position.
