Electro Cam PS-6144 Series - Manual (Page 31)

3-3 Programming
Initial Programming
Bench Test To test the PS-6144 prior to installing it, do the following:
1. Plug output modules into the controller beginning with Position 1 on the PS-6144-
24M17, or Position 17 on the 6144-25. See Figure 9.
2. Connect a resolver. See Figure 16.
3. Connect the keypad/display to the controller. See Figure 12.
4. Set the keypad DIP switch to address “0” and termination “on,” as shown in Figure
13. Set switches 6 and 7 on the controller DIP switch to “on,” also shown in Figure
13.
5. Use two jumper wires to enable Master Level programming as shown in Figure 12.
Connect one jumper from “+” of the keypad terminal block to “C.” Connect the other
jumper from “–” to “E1.” These jumpers will permit access to the entire menu tree
shown in Figure 20.
6. Connect DC input power.
When experimenting with the controller, note that the LED on an output module will
light when that output channel is turned on. By hand-turning the resolver shaft and
watching the module LED’s, you can observe the effects of programming setpoint val-
ues. Remember that on a PS-6144-24-X16-M09, outputs 1-16 are transistor outputs.
To activate the LED on a module installed in Position 17, enter the setpoint values into
Output Channel 17.
Machine Setup Before installing the PS-6144 on a machine, be sure the DIP switches are properly set
as shown in Figures 13 & 14. After installing the unit, program the following set-up
information into the controller before attempting any other programming:
Information Menu Selection Page
Direction of Rotation INCREASING DIR 3-11
Scale Factor SCALE FACTOR 3-25
Shaft Position SHAFT POSITION 3-28
No. of Keypads KEYBOARD QTY 3-12
No. of Analog Outputs ANALOG QTY 3-5
No. of Output Groups OUTPUT GROUPS 3-18
Modes for Output Groups OUTPUT GROUPS 3-18
Group Display Mode GRP POS DISP 3-10
Group Offsets OFFSET 3-16
Once this information is entered, setpoints can be established and modified in the groups
and output channels desired. Refer to Section 5 for information on using groups and
modes.
