Travel
- displays the range of travel (in millimeters or degrees) of the motor.
Moving
- lit when the motor is in motion.
Enable
- applies power to the motor. With the motor enabled, the associated Channel
LED on the front panel is lit.
Digital display
- shows the position (in millimetres or degrees) of the motor. The
motor must be ' Homed' before the d isplay will show a valid position value, (i.e. the
displayed position is relative to a physical datum, the limit switch).
Home
- sends the motor to its 'Home' position - see Appendix F Section F.2.2. The
LED in the button is lit while the motor is homing.
Homed
- lit when the motor has previously been 'Homed' (since power up).
Stop
- halts the movement of the motor.
Limit switches
- the LEDs are lit when the associated limit switch has been activated
- see Appendix F Section F.2.3. for further details on limit switches.
Settings display
- shows the following user specified settings:
Driver -
the type of control unit associated with the specified channel.
Stage
- the stage type and axis associated with the specified channel.
Calib File
- the calibration file associated with the specified channel.
See the APTConfig utility helpfile for more details on assigning and using calibration
files.
Min/Max V
- the minimum velocity at which a move is initiated, and the maximum
velocity at which the move is performed. Values are displayed in real world units (mm/
s or degrees/s), and can be set via the 'Settings' panel (see Section 5.3.).
Accn
- the rate at which the velocity climbs to, and slows from, maximum velocity,
displayed in real world units (mm/s/s or degrees/s/s). The acceleration can be set via
the 'Settings' panel (see Section 5.3.) and i s used in conjunction with the Min/Max
velocity settings to determine the velocity profile of a motor move. See Appendix F
Section F.1.3. for more information on velocity profiles.
Jog Step Size
- the size of step (in mm or degrees) taken when the jog signal is
initiated. The step size can be set e ither via the Settings panel or by calling the
SetJogStepSize method.
Settings button
- Displays the 'Settings' panel, which allows the motor drive’s
operating parameters to be entered - see Section 5.3.
Ident
- when this button is pressed, the LED (on the front panel of the unit) associated
with the selected channel will flash for a short period.
Active
- lit when the unit is operating normally and no error condition exists.
Error
- lit when a fault condition occurs.
