Because of the absolute value device, the motoryoke does not perform any
initialisation
runs
after power up. In addition a power down does not affect the current position, also
because of the self-locking gearboxes.
The lighted
LCD display
(the light can be switched off) leads the user in plain text
instructions through the various programming steps. The instructions are available either
in english or german language.
The motoryoke has a mechanical and electronical
torque delimitation
on the PAN and
rotation axle. The mechanical torque limitation is realised with a friction
clutch
and
prevents a personal injury of people working on the yoke. Furthermore the drives and
gearboxes will not be damaged (except Tilt-axle) when moving the yoke in case of power
off.
The
electronical torque delimitation
switches off the motors in case of blocking (e.g.
blocking because of moving onto a wall or decoration). The display shows an appropriate
error message.
The
controlling
of the two main axles (PAN and TILT) is done with 2 DMX-channels per
axle. With only one channel (8-Bit) a resolution of 256 steps could be realised. With two
channels (16-Bit) a resolution of
65536 steps
is possible. The first channels of each axle
represents the rough position information (at 360° range of rotation about 1.4 degrees per
step). The second channel represents the fine position information. The speed of the
motoryoke is determined with one channel (PAN and TILT together) or with two channels
(PAN and TILT separated).
