Positioning
When the rotator has been reset and the CW-end
position is set, it is possible to use it for positioning run.
The green LED next to the MODE selector indicates, by
fast flashing, that the rotator needs to be reset, before
it can be used.
The position is set on the DMX channel 1 and 2, which controls the rough-and fine-position.
Where 100 % is the CW- end position and 0 % is the CCW-end position.
The positions lamp indicates, by slow flashing, that the rotator has been reset and that it is going
towards the wanted position. The position lamp indicates, by stable light, that the rotator has
found the wanted position and the motor has stopped.
The speed is set on the DMX channel 3, where 100 % is the fastest and 0 % is the slowest.
The rotator does not run unless the DMX channel 3 is set above zero, and therefore also works
as a main brake.
There are 2 modes the rotator position in. These are selected by the value on DMX channel 6.
Positioning Mode
If DMX channel 6 is 0-79%, the 0% position and 100% position is set by the user using DMX
channel 4 and 5. When saving positions DMX channel 6 must be set between 50% and 55%. DMX
channel 4 moves the rotator in the CW direction and sets the 100% position. Channel 5 moves
the rotator in the CCW direction and sets the 0% position. When setting the end positions the
100% position set by channel 4 should always be set first.
When the 0% and 100% position has been set, DMX channel 1 and 2 can be used to position the
rotator between 0-100% with the max speed determined by channel 3.
Angular Positioning Mode
When DMX channel 6 is 80-100% the rotator is in
angular positioning
mode
and DMX channel 1
and 2 determines the angel the rotator moves to 0% is 0° and 100% is 360°. The rotator will
always move the shortest way to the wanted position unless it was doing a continuous rotation
set by channel 4 or 5 that was ended.
Example:
The current position is 5° and the next set position is 350°.
→
The rotator will move 15° back to the new position.
The rotator is moving continuously (by having channel 4 or 5 set) and the next set
position is 350°
→
The rotator will continue in the same direction until it reaches the new position,
when the continuous move is stopped.
→
If the continuous move is stopped when the Rotator has moved 10° pass its
wanted position it will not move back but do almost a full rotation to reach its
position.
