How to Provide Program to a Series 407 Controller

FlexTest GT Controller Connections

154

Use the Station Manager application to adjust the full scale, polarity, gain,
and offset for the external controller channel (Display menu > Station
Setup).

If your station configuration includes sensor feedback, you can also adjust
the full scale, gain, polarity, and offset of the incoming sensor signals, as
well as limits.

4. On the 793 Controller, set up the program.

Define a program with the Function Generator, Basic TestWare, or
MultiPurpose TestWare applications.

Note

It is good practice to use tapered wave shapes to apply the program
command to the external controller slowly.

The Basic TestWare application allows you to create simple test programs
that do not require complex signal management or mode switches for station
configuration files. To create more sophisticated test programs use the
optional MultiPurpose TestWare application.

5. On the 407 Controller, select the External program source.

On the Function Generator menu, select Waveform, then scroll through
the selections to select External.

Note

The operational sequence in the following step may not be intuitive. This
sequence is necessary because of how the 793 and 407 Controllers are
cabled together. The following step assumes that at power up, hydraulics
are off, the 793 Controller has a hydraulic and a program interlock active,
and the 407 Controller has a hydraulic interlock active.

6. Apply the program.

To apply the program from the 793 Controller to 407 Controller:

A. On the Station Manager application’s Station Controls panel, click

Reset to clear the Hydraulic interlock.

B. On the Station Manager application’s Station Controls panel, click

HPU Power Low and then HPU Power High to turn on the HPU.

C. On the Station Manager application’s Station Controls panel, click

HSM Power Low and then HSM Power High to turn on the HSM.
