Download your final values for LPC41-44 to the QDC module by
downloading the LPC block.

Important: If downloading from your programming terminal, you must
download LPC followed by CPC (chapter 4).

Test Valve Linearity with a Low Pressure Close (LPC) Profile

1.

Jog your clamp to a position just inside the LPC start position
(CPC61).

2.

Enable the LPC profile by setting DYC02-B03 (B34/403) = 1. The
clamp should move from its start position through the LPC profile. If
no motion is observed, verify that:

- no overtravel alarms are set. The QDC module inhibits clamp low

pressure close if alarm bits SYS07-B00 through -B05 are set.

- no programming error codes exist in SYS61 and SYS62.

3.

At completion of the LPC profile, observe the pressure reported for
LPC segment 1, CPS37 (N43:689). If the observed pressure is not
within 20% of the value you entered in CPC37, then check:

- Is your high-volume pump dropping out early enough?

- Are any high-volume solenoids dropping out too early?

If the observed pressure CPS37 is still not within 20% of CPC37, your
pressure valve is not linear over the desired range. Correct for a non-linear
valve as follows:

If:

And Your Selected

Valve is:

Then change LPC44 (N43:220)

as follows:

CPS37 was less than CPC37

Direct Acting

Increase in 5% steps

Reverse Acting

Decrease in 5% steps

CPS37 was more than CPC37 Direct Acting

Decrease in 5% steps

Reverse Acting

Increase in 5% steps

To do this: change LPC44, download the LPC and CPC blocks, repeat
steps 1-3. Repeat as necessary.

Important: If downloading from your programming terminal, download
LPC followed by CPC with bits B21/5 and 6 respectively (chapter 4).
