Jog key operation
5.1
Connecting the keyboard
The jog keys attach to the instrument via the 4-pin connector. The switching contacts must be
connected b24V and the jog key inputs. Both GND cables must be connected if using
an external power supply, making certain that the GND cable for the jog keys is linked to the
control unit GND cable.
5.2
Using the control unit to activate the jog keys
The jog keys are inactive by default. The jog key status is copied into the status byte, giving the
user the ability to activate jog key functions from the control unit. This only works, however, if the
release has been set in the command byte and the ‘accept and proceed to position’ bit has not
been set. Jog key bits can now be copied from the status byte to the command byte, and the
drive may begin a positioning sequence. This also allows operators to use the control unit as a
means of executing a positioning sequence at one drive using the jog keys of another drive.
5.3
Direct positioning using the jog keys
Direct jog key positioning requires that the jog key function be released, either when setting
parameters or by means of the ‘manual run release’ bit in the command byte. The ‘release’ bit
must be
set and the ‘accept and proceed to position’ bit must not be activated. Any jog key input
will now be executed directly by the drive.
5.4
Incremental manual operation
When a jog key is depressed, the drive will move by the distance specified in the ‘jog key
increment size’ parameter. The instrument will then wait for the amount of time specified by the
‘jog key pause’ parameter. If the key remains depressed, the drive will resume operation at
manual speed and will continue until either the key is released or a second key is depressed.
This pause was introduced so that users would have sufficient time to release the key in order to
position the drive in individual increments.
5.5
Incremental operation
Setting the ‘jog key pause’ parameter to zero will suppress manual operation, making it possible
to operate the drive solely in increments.
