3.5.2 Calibrate I-DE (Main menu 2)
The I-DE can be calibrated with a start, end and reset position. To do this, follow the steps below.
If one of the limit switches is connected to the reset input of the I-DE (see section 2.4), the reset position will be
saved automatically. The position is saved during the calibration of the I-DE, when the limit switch in question is
activated. The limit switch can be either that in the start position, or that in the end position. If the reset input is
not used, the start position is automatically saved as the reset position.
As standard, the stroke of the I-DE corresponds to the stroke of the GW motor gearbox. If a higher degree of
precision is required over a small part of the GW motor gearbox’s stroke, the I-DE can be calibrated to that specific
part of the stroke only. The I-DE furthermore allows the reset position to be configured at any random point in the
GW motor gearbox’s stroke. For further information on these options, please contact De Gier ([email protected]).
NOTE: The step-by-step plan below assumes that the I-DE is currently in «main menu 1» (see Figure 7).
If the I-DE is in «Normal operation» or «Error mode», «Main menu 1» can be accessed by pushing and holding the
button for two seconds.
3 Operation
Calibrate I-DE
The I-DE is in "Main menu 1".
Push and hold the button for less than one second. This LED pattern will be displayed. The
I-DE is in "Main menu 2"
Push and hold the button for two seconds, then release. After 2 seconds, this LED pattern will
be displayed.
The I-DE is now in "Submenu 2A".
Run the motor gearbox to the start position (zero position).
Push and hold the button for two seconds, then release. After 2 seconds, this LED pattern will
be displayed.
The I-DE is now in "Submenu 2B".
Run the motor gearbox to the end position.
Push and hold the button for two seconds, then release. After 2 seconds, this LED pattern will
be displayed.
The I-DE is now calibrated and will output 0 mA, 4 mA or 20 mA, depending on the selected
settings. The I-DE is in "Main menu 2"
