KNIGHT D-SERIES SERVO HOIST OPERATION MANUAL
SECTION 6
PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
110
fPRM:49 – Payout Mode Speed (ips)
Variable Units: Inches per second
Description: This parameter sets the velocity of the hoist while the servo is in Payout Mode.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Motion \ Payout Mode \ Row 1.
fPRM:50 – Payout Backoff Distance (in)
Variable Units: Inches
Description: This parameter sets the distance the hoist will attempt to move in the opposite direction after
the payout mode’s torque limit has been exceeded. This is typically a small distance intended to reduce the
binding effect experienced during chain replacement or upon reaching the end of the chain or chain stop.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Motion \ Payout Mode \ Row 2.
fPRM:51 – Spare
fPRM:52 – Slow Zone Part Loaded Speed
Variable Units: Inches per second
Description: This parameter limits the speed of the hoist when a part is loaded and it is below the
fPRM:53 ‘Slow Zone Part Loaded Position’ parameter.
This parameter is only processed if the Slow Zone is turned on. i.e. [iPRM:0 ‘Slow Zone Mode’ is non-zero].
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Slow Zone \ Row 4.
fPRM:53 – Slow Zone Part Loaded Position
Variable Units: Inches
Description: This parameter sets the height that the hoist will start to run at a reduced speed when a part is
loaded and the hoist is moving down.
This parameter is only processed if the Slow Zone is turned on. i.e. [iPRM:0 ‘Slow Zone Mode’ is non-zero].
NOTE: The current position of the hoist is visible in fSTS:0 ‘Current Position (in)’ or on the Quick View panel /
Row 1 (Lower right-hand portion of the screen).
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Slow Zone \ Row 4.
fPRM:54 – Slow Zone Part Loaded Position2
Variable Units: Inches
Description: This parameter sets the height that the hoist will start to run at a reduced speed when a part is
loaded and the hoist is moving up.
This parameter is only processed if the Slow Zone is turned on. i.e. [iPRM:0 ‘Slow Zone Mode’ is non-zero].
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Slow Zone \ Row 4.
fPRM:55 – Slow Zone Part Loaded Weight
Variable Units: Pounds
Description: This parameter sets the number of pounds that the hoist needs to register in order to determine
that a part is loaded on the hoist/fixture.
This parameter is only processed if the Slow Zone is turned on. i.e. [iPRM:0 ‘Slow Zone Mode’ is non-zero].
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Slow Zone \ Row 2.
fPRM:56 – Slow Zone Part Unloaded Speed
Variable Units: Inches per second
Description: This parameter limits the speed of the hoist when a part is not loaded and it is below the
fPRM:57 ‘Slow Zone Part Unloaded Position’ parameter.
This parameter is only processed if the Slow Zone is turned on. i.e. [iPRM:0 ‘Slow Zone Mode’ is non-zero].
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Slow Zone \ Row 3.
fPRM:57 – Slow Zone Part Unloaded Position
Variable Units: Inches
Description: This parameter sets the height that the hoist will start to run at a reduced speed when a part is
not loaded and the hoist is moving down.
This parameter is only processed if the Slow Zone is turned on. i.e. [iPRM:0 ‘Slow Zone Mode’ is non-zero].
