Definition of Parameters
5.1 Global Parameters
There are four global parameters that apply to all dispense programs and events. In most
applications, these parameters will not need to be modified.
Global
Parameter
Default
Value
Range
Description
Slew rpm
30 rpm
0.2-100 rpm
This is the maximum speed the unit will rotate at when jogging
between events. If the distance to be jogged is short, it may not
reach the set slew speed due to the distance required to accelerate to
the set speed. It is possible to decrease the cycle time by increasing
the slew rpm, however, it can result in more wear on the motor.
Slew acc/dec
7
1-10
This is the relative rate at which the rotary dispense station will
accelerate to and decelerate from the slew speed. Higher values
indicate faster acceleration. Increasing the slew acc/dec will reduce
cycle times, however, it can result in more wear on the motor.
Disp acc/dec
7
1-10
This is the relative rate at which the rotary dispense station will
accelerate to and decelerate from the event rotating speed. Higher
values indicate faster acceleration. Increasing the disp acc/dec will
reduce cycle times, however, it can result in more wear on the motor.
Disp delay
0.5 sec
0-9.99 sec
This is the time between when an event is initiated and when the
dispenser turns on. It is designed to allow the slide to fully advance
before dispensing starts.
5.2 Programming Parameters
5.2.1 Program Specific Parameters
For each program (1-10), the following variables must be specified:
Program
Specific
Parameter
Default
Value
Range
Description
# Events
1
1-8
This is the number of circle, arcs or dots in a program. Each of these
patterns is one event. For example, a single program can have two
arcs and six dots.
Auto Repeat
Time
10 sec
0-99.9 sec
This parameter is only used in auto repeat mode. When in auto
repeat mode, after a program is initiated with the start button or
footswitch, it will cycle continuously until the stop button is pressed.
The delay between the completion of a program and when it will
initiate again is the auto repeat time.
