MENUS
Configuration Menu
Configuration menu selects the menu number to be set up. Enter the number of the menu to be set up
and the values for that menu will be shown.
Current Configuration
Current Config shows the active configuration menu number.
Feedback Position Source
Feedback Position selects the source for the position feedback, POSN. The choices are Pos1 (Encoder
1–default), Pos2 (Encoder 2), or Pos3 (Encoder 3–available only with an option card).
When Encoder 2 is used for position feedback, SCALE is used for units, not SCALE2. Any parameters
which are scaled position values may need to be changed. This includes: Kp, Overspeed, FEL, and In-
Position Window.
Encoder Input 2
Encoder Input 2 selects signals on connector P4 as an input for Encoder 2 (default) or as an output of
Encoder 1 signals.
Select Step and Direction signals to bring step and direction signals into the ULTRA Plus or IQ from an
indexer. The ULTRA Plus or IQ may continue to output Encoder 1 signals while receiving step and
direction inputs.
Gear Input
Gear Input selects the source for the gear input. The choices are Pos2, Pos3, the sum of both signals, or
none (default). Pos3 will be not be able to be selected unless the absolute encoder interface option card
is installed.
Fkey Set Up
The only setup required for the Operator Terminal is for the soft function keys (Fkeys) F1 through F4.
The function keys can be programmed to perform different predefined functions or functions defined by
you. Text can be assigned to the keys to show their specific function on the Operator Terminal screen.
The Operator Terminal status displays are enabled simply by connecting the Operator Terminal to Serial
Port 1 (P7).
Mode
Up to six sets of four functions can be assigned to Fkeys. Each set of four is referred to as a mode.
While assigning the functions to the keys, the mode is changed by typing a new number into the text
box. The active mode may be changed by pressing the MODE key or by using the PRINT statement to
send a code to the operator terminal.
To set the Fkey mode to be displayed on the Operator Terminal from a program, use a PRINT “^Cn”
statement where n corresponds to the Fkey mode number. The number n is zero-based–that is, 0 corre-
sponds to Fkey Mode #1, 1 corresponds to Fkey Mode #2, and so on. Refer to Part 5

Language Refer-
ence, PRINT for details.
The Mode key on the Operator Terminal can also be used to set an Fkey mode. Press the Mode key to
step through as many modes as are defined in the Fkey Set Up dialog box. If no Fkey functions are
assigned to a mode, the Operator Terminal will pass over that mode and move to the next mode that has
Fkeys defined. After the MODE key is pressed and the Fkey labels are displayed, the labels can be
cleared from the terminal screen by pressing the CLEAR key.
