6.6.2 Changing the Unit of Measure
Warning only properly trained individuals should perform adjustment
to parameters of bar feeder.
The standard shipping unit of measure of the Scout 320 is metric. Imperial unit of measure can
be used however this requires the reprograming of the PLC, HMI and a change to the servo
drive parameter. Due to this procedure Edge Technologies must change the unit of measure.
Normally when the bar feeder is ordered the customers preference for unit of measure is
programmed prior to machine shipping. If the unit of measure is to be changed the PLC and HMI
may be returned to Edge Technologies for reprogramming. Upon receiving the updated PLC and
HMI the parameters will need to be set. The servo drive parameter PA15 will need to be
changed as well. Do not change the parameter PA15 only as this will not change the HMI
display for metric or imperial.
1. HMI and PLC with desired unit of measure.
2. On the servo drive in the electrical cabinet you need to change a parameter. The
parameter that needs to be changed is the PA15 Parameter.
3. When changing the software over to Metric, you need to set the parameter at 299.
4. When changing the software over to Inch, you need to set the parameter at 1186.
6.6.3 Parameter Flowchart
The following pages reflect the bar feeder’s menus expanded for simple visualization. If you
know the name of the parameter you want to view, locate it on the sheet then navigate to the
correct F keys and menus.
Use pass code
258
to access the code protected menus.
Anytime a parameter is changed it should be recorded in the parameter worksheet. This
worksheet is normally completed by the Edge Technologies Technician during the installation
process.
