Alternate Functions - Utilities and Hardware Testing
Appendix A-16
Alternate functions test and/or display the hardware status
of the control or perform programming operations. Below is
an itemized list of each Alternate Function.
To access Alternate Functions:
1. Press FCN and POS/RPM keys simultaneously.
2. Press numeric keys of Alt Fcn desired.
3. Press ENT key.
Note:
Master Program Enable must be On.
Press POS/RPM key to exit Alternate Functions
Alt Fcn 1: Displays Actual Position of Transducer
Resolver:
0-1023 (10 bits) or 0-4095 (12 bits, “H”
option)
Encoder:
0-255 (8 bits)
Alt Fcn 2: Displays On (1) Off (0) Status of Logic Inputs
Setpoint Display shows: Program Select Inputs
(term 3-5)
Master Program Enable
(term 6)
Channel Display shows: Output Group Enable 1 (term 7)
Operator Program Enable
(term 9)
Alt Fcn 3: Displays Absolute Value of the Current Offset
This is the number of increments that the control position is
leading the transducer position. Example: if Alt Fcn 3
displays a value of 90, the control will be at 90 when the
transducer is at its absolute 0 position.
Alt Fcn 4: 60 Pulse Disc
Programs a 60 pulse disc into the last channel of the current
active program.
Note:
Controls with Analog (“-A”) option or Phase Mark
Registration (“-P”) option do not have this function.
Alt Fcn 1002: Keyboard Test
While each key is pressed a unique number is displayed
(99 is displayed if no key is pressed). THE CONTROL
MUST BE POWER CYCLED TO EXIT THE KEYBOARD
TEST.
Alt Fcn 1003: LED Display Test
All 7 segment Leds will first be turned on, then each Led
segment will be lit individually, followed by each of the
discrete Leds. The test repeats until a key is pressed.
Alt Fcn 1004: Watchdog Timer Test
This test prevents control's internal “Watchdog Timer”
circuit from being reset. If Watchdog Timer is functioning
properly, the control will reset. Some versions may display
“CrASH”. Press any key to restart the control.
Alt Fcn 1005: Display Control Model Information
Function display:
“L” if control has Leading/Trailing comp
Program display:
Graycode output option (0=No, 1=Yes)
Channel display:
Number of I/O channels
Setpoint display:
Basic model number (5001, 5104, etc)
Alt Fcn 1006: Display Options and Revision #
Function display:
“P” if control has Register Mark
Phasing
Program display:
“A” if control has Analog
Channel display:
first digit: “c” if control has Serial Comm
2nd digit: “H” if High Resolution control
Setpoint display:
Software Rev # (ex: 507 = Rev 5.07)
Alt Fcn 7000: Restore Factory Defaults and Clear All
Output Channel Setpoints
Control will scroll through memory locations shown in
position display for approximately 45 seconds, then reset
and display "EO EErr". On some versions “CrASH” will be
displayed when operation is completed. Press CLR/CLE
key to restore normal operation.
Factory Defaults are:
FCN 0 dr = CCL
SF = 360
P1 = 0000
P2 = 0000
Sc = onE
tb = 1
ct = 485
cS = 9600
cA = 1
dd = SPd
tr
= 20
Alt Fcn 7001: Clear All Output Channel Setpoints
Control will scroll through memory locations shown in
position display for approximately 25 seconds. “7001” will
be displayed when operation is completed. Press any key
to restore normal operation.
Alt Fcn 7999: Extensive EEPROM Test
(Restores Defaults and Clears All Channel Setpoints)
Control will scroll through memory locations shown in
position display for approximately 6-1/2 minutes. “EO EErr”
will be displayed when operation is completed. This error
will show up once at the end of the test, and is not a problem
unless it occurs during normal operation. "CRASH" will be
displayed on older versions. Press CLR/CLE key to restore
normal operation.
If a problem is found with the EEPROM the display will latch
up with the bad memory location address shown. Call
Electro Cam for further information if this happens.
FCN 1 Lo = 10
Hi = 3000
Ao = 0
Ah = 2047
FCN 3 AP = 1 Pb = 1
FCN 4 All Channels 0
FCN 5 All Channels 0
FCN 6 All Channels Off
FCN 7 All Channels Off
FCN 8 1 Group, All Channels
FCN 9 1 Input, Mode 0
