CONTROL PARAMETERS
Parameters are divided into two classifications; Control Parameters (CP) and Monitor
Variable (MV). The numbered code that represents the parameter is the Parameter
Code. The operational data is the parameter's value.

This section is about Control Parameters. Monitor Variables are explained in
Operation: Monitor Parameters.
The M–Traverse comes factory pre-loaded with a complete set of default Control
Parameters values. The majority of these default settings are suitable for most
applications and do not require modification.
Control Parameters allow you to enter data that is unique to your system (e.g., encoder
resolution, Lead to Follower ratios) and modify the M–Traverse for your specific needs
(e.g., maximum RPM, setpoints, acceleration/deceleration ramp rates) by entering a
parameter value. Control Parameters can be "locked out" so that they become
inaccessible from the Keypad. For details, refer to
References: Appendix C, CP-79.
The M–Traverse is designed to execute either the Direct mode of operation or the
Follower mode of operation. The values that you enter in the relevant Control
Parameters determine which of the modes of operation your M–Traverse is set up for.
The mode of operation that you use is determined by your systems operational
requirements.
The following sections demonstrate how to enter Control Parameters for the Direct
mode or the Follower mode of operation. In addition, Control Parameters for Jog,
Tuning and Output Control are addressed.
