Ransburg Overhead Electric Reciprocator ER-8100 - Manual (Page 16)

Although the program shown has the points or-
dered so that the first point is at the top, with the
following points each increasing, this ordering is
not required. The points can be entered in any
way. The sequence can be such that the recip-
rocator reverses direction in the middle of the
sequence, the first point in the sequence can be
at the bottom, and so on.
RUN PROGRAM
From the RUN MODE screeen, the F1 function
key is used to select the program to run. Up
to ten programs are available, with up to eight
points per program. Once the program number
is entered, the status screen (F7) or main menu
screen (F12) may be selected. The program does
not start until the START RECIPROCATOR push
button, under the display module, is pressed. To
stop the machine, the STOP RECIPROCATOR
push button is pushed.
>
The value of the velocity, digital outputs,
and analog output for the last point are
never used.
>
The last point in a program is determined
by checking for the first point which has a
zero entry for the position. For the program
depicted, the fifth point must have a zero
entered for the position.
NOTE
RUN SCREEN DATA
From the RUN MODE screen, the F2 function key
is used to select a special type of program. This
program, called a Manual Program, allows the
operator to quickly access the data for four points.
The data remains on the screen during operation,
and can be edited while running. This program
is useful if the opertor is typically adjusting the
top and bottom points, in order to maintain the
required coverage. The program does not start
until the START RECIPROCATOR push button,
under the display module, is pressed. To stop
the machine, the STOP RECIPROCATOR push
button is pushed.
HOME/PARK
From the main menu screen, the F2 function key
is used to access the homing and parking function.
START HOMING
From the HOME / PARK screen, the F1 function
key is used to start homing the reciprocator. The
home position is at the top of the stroke. The
velocity of the machine while homing is selected
under machine setup (F5 from the main menu).
When the F1 key is pressed to start homing, the
status screen is immediately displayed. The sta-
tus will be HOMING until the machine reaches
the top. The status will then change to HOMED.
All point data is referenced to the home position,
and the positive direction is down. This function
will normally not be used. If the machine has just
been powered up, and a program is started, the
machine will automatically go to home prior to
running the program.
