Span Your Clamp and Ejector Valves

This chapter describes how to span your clamp and ejector valves using
set-output operation and test out your spanning running simple open-loop
profiles. (In previous chapters, you have configured command blocks,
entered initial profiles, and programmed PLC command bit interaction as
prerequisites to running profiles).

ATTENTION: Before proceeding, make sure you have
completed configuration procedures in all previous chapters.
Failure to do so could result in unpredictable machine operation,
and may cause injury to equipment or personnel.

This chapter describes how to span your:

low pressure close valve
clamp close pressure valve(s)
clamp close velocity valve(s)
clamp open pressure valve(s)
clamp open velocity valve(s)
ejector pressure valve(s)
ejector velocity valve(s)

To help you perform these tasks, this chapter also describes how to:

run your machine in open-loop
alter valve spanning configuration values to tune machine performance
set Clamp and Ejector Profile Pressure Alarms
