2. How to operate the AION
TM
IQ controller
After you switch the power on the startup screen will appear on LCD for about
1,5s.
2.1. Specifying startup parameters
After switching the power on it is necessary to determine the working mode of
the drive. We differentiate three types of modes::
AUTO
,
MAN
i
FREE
.
AUTO
- basic automatic calibration. The dirve automatically moves
to the reference point. Movement range corresponds to the one speci-
fied during the automatic calibration.
MAN
- the user determines the reference points (hence the move-
ment range) by using the joystick and the SPEED knob.
FREE
- this mode does not require setting any movement range.
Not recommended when working with X
TM
SLIDER.
2.1.1. AUTO (basic automatic calibration)
In case of
AUTO
working mode, after switching the power, a message will
appear on LCD screen:
Use the joystick to determine the direction of the movement so that the drive
can automatically set the reference points. As soon as the drive determines
the points there is a message on LCD that the drive is ready for work. After
pressing OK (understood as pressing the joystick) the main menu appears on
the screen.
2.1.2. MAN (manual calibration)
In case of
MAN
working mode, the controller moves to the manual calibration.
This mode allows to determine the reference points anywhere on X
TM
SLIDER
rail, not necessarily at the ends. This mode is recommended if you need to
determine a short range of motion for the cart.
Message on the screen requires the user to determine points of reference.
By moving the joystick right and left set the reference points for the drive. Use
SPEED knob to determine the speed of the cart, this will allow you to decce-
larate before the cart reaches second point of reference. Press the joystick to
accept.
Before the first use of the drive
it is necessary to perform auto-
matic calibration of the driving
motor. This step is necessary
for the drive to function properly
and cannot be neglected. Auto-
matic calibration is performed
only before the first use,
it determines the range of mo-
vement for your X
TM
SLIDER.
IMPORTANT!

When setting points of reference
in MAN mode exercise extreme
caution so that the cart does not hit
the side feet of your X
TM
SLIDER.
