ECON-4 1.4.0 Global Guide
32
G. Parameters: ActTypex (In this case ActType 1): ActCur 0% and ActCur 100% are not used, so their value is
not important
H. Adjust parameter: Main PID: Actuator Type to the actuator which you use, so in this case ActType 1.
I. Connect the actuator to ECON-4, outputs ACT+ ACT- (take care about polarity!!)
J. Adjust ECON-4 parameter: Main PID: ECON-4 mode to MANUAL and run WinScope recording with values:
Gas Dose and Act1 Fdbck in range 0.0 – 100.0%.
K. When recording is active, change parameter: Main PID: Act position from 0 to 10, 20, 30, .. 100 and check
the response of the actuator (via feedback signal in WinScope). In case the response is too lazy or too fast,
then update the corresponding Act gain, Act int and Act der parameters in ActTypex (in our case ActType1)
to get required response.
L. After adjustment is finished, put parameter: Main PID: ECON-4 mode to AUTOMATIC
M. Based on the chosen type of control (BIN, ANA, DATA) connect the required signal
N. Adjust all other parameters like Nominal, Idle speed, Geer teeth, Overspeed, Speed and Load PID,
ActChannel (to the number which ECON-4 output you are using)
O. ECON-4 is ready for start attempt.
5.4 ECON-4 configuration and PC tools
5.4.1 Setpoints adjustements in WinScope SW:
Connect RS232 port on your PC to RS232 port on ECON-4. Open connection and select Controller type
EMCON5, ECON-3, INCON, RailCon, select your RS232 com port and press OK
Image 5.5 Direct connection of WinScope SW to ECON-4
Then open setpoint Tab and work with setpoints. For rest of operations (channel selection, trend recording...)
see manual for WinScope SW.
Click on the icon Setpoints
to open the Setpoints groups. To be able to change any setpoints, the password
has to adjust at first (otherwise the setpoints are grayed and cannot be changed).
