Connecting an HID to the E-871.1A1N
1. If you want to use axis 1 and/or axis 2 of the HID, connect the following to the
E-871.1A1N's
Joystick socket:
■
If you want to operate a C-819.20 joystick with this controller only, connect it directly to
the controller.
■
If you want to operate a C-819.20 joystick with two controllers (i.e., two axes), connect
the joystick to the C-819.20Y cable and connect both controllers to the X and Y
branches of the cable. The power is supplied to the joystick via the X branch. For this
reason, the X branch has to be connected to a controller even if HID control is not to be
enabled for this controller.
■
If you want to connect an axis of a C-819.30 joystick, connect the corresponding cable
of the joystick to the controller.
2. If you want to use axis 3 and/or 4 of the HID, connect an HID to the E-871.1A1N's
I/O
socket.
First of all, we recommend testing the HID's operating elements after connecting it to the
E-871.1A1N. If the response behavior of the HID's axes does not meet your requirements, it
is possible to calibrate its axes.
HID control can be set up and activated after testing and optional calibration of the axes.
The procedure for PIMikroMove is described in the following.
8.5.5
Testing the HID and Calibrating the Axes
The mechanics do not need to be connected to the E-871.1A1N for testing the HID and
calibrating its axes.
When calibrating the HID's axes in PIMikroMove, the appropriate lookup table must be
selected. The parabolic lookup table allows greater sensitivity at lower velocity. Lookup
tables named "User Table" are intended to be filled with individual values.
