TONiC RESM20 angle encoder system installation guide
This section is a quick-start guide to installing a TONiC system.
More detailed information on installing the TONiC system is contained on pages 14 to 18 of this installation guide.
INSTALLATION
Ensure RESM20 ring, readhead optical window and mounting faces are clean and free from obstructions.
Plug the readhead cable into the Ti/TD interface under the cover plate and reassemble interface.
Connect to receiving electronics and power-up.
Ensure AGC is switched off - the CAL LED on the readhead should be off (if not press and hold the CAL button on the interface until the CAL LED
on the readhead switches off).
Install and align the readhead to maximise signal strength over the full axis of rotation as indicated by the readhead and interface set-up LEDs
(readhead - Green; interface - ideally Blue/Purple).
CALIBRATION
Press and release the CAL button on the interface.
The CAL LED on the readhead will be single flashing.
Rotate the axis at slow speed (< 100 mm/s), ensuring the readhead does not pass a reference mark, until the CAL LED starts double flashing.
The system is now calibrated and ready for use. AGC can now be switched on if required by pressing and holding
the CAL button until the CAL LED on the readhead switches on.
CAL values and AGC status are stored in readhead non-volatile memory at power down.
NOTE:
If calibration fails, restore factory defaults by pressing and holding the CAL button
whilst switching on
(‘Restoring factory defaults’, page 18)
. Then repeat the installation and calibration routine.
No reference mark
If a reference mark is not being used,
the calibration routine should now be exited
by pressing and releasing the CAL button.
The CAL LED will stop flashing.
(Incremental CAL values are automatically stored)
Reference mark
Move the readhead back and forth over
the reference mark until the CAL LED
stops flashing and remains ‘off’.
(Incremental and reference mark CAL values
are automatically stored)
