the customer defined name. Conversion from the customer defined name to the OEM
Controls, Inc. name is done by referring to the cover label. The connector definitions on
the cover label have the connector pin # in the left column, the customer defined name in
the center column and the OEM Controls, Inc. name for the I/O channel in the right
column.
The number below the OEM Controls, Inc. name for I/O channel indicates the status of
that I/O. A “1” indicates that the I/O channel is ON and a “0” indicates that it’s OFF.
For Digisensor inputs, the number varies from 0 through 510. For bi-directional outputs,
0 indicates full ON in one direction and 510 is full ON in the other direction. A
Digisensor count of 255 is centered (or OFF). If the Digisensor is either not connected,
centered, or malfunctioning, a count of 255 will be displayed under the OEM Controls,
Inc. name for that Digisensor.
3.3 Optimizer Adjustments
The Optimizer Plus and Minus keys are used for changing the various adjustments
(threshold, ramp, etc.). The process is described below. The Run key must be pressed
after making an adjustment so the new value is saved.
Two different methods may be used to calibrate the system: 1) Active or 2) Bench /
Static. In the Active mode, the equipment is actually operated with the joystick
controllers while making the adjustments. The Bench / Static mode does not require
operating the equipment or moving the joystick handles. For best results, the Active
method is recommended.
NOTE - After making an adjustment, always press the RUN key to save the new value.
If the RUN key is not pressed, the new settings will be lost as soon as the Optimizer is
unplugged or the SB25 power is turned off.
3.3.1 Active Adjustments
WARNING - Your machine will be operated during this calibration
procedure. Be sure to locate the machine in an area that is suitable for safe
operation.
NOTE - The Action (Channel) and the Direction are automatically selected when a
Joystick controller is operated. Plug in the Optimizer and turn on power. Follow any
additional procedures specified by the equipment manufacturer.
To adjust THRESHOLD (initial starting or creep speed):
Move the joystick handle (of the function to adjust) just far enough so that the
Optimizer display changes from “Run Mode Functions Off” to “RUN: ... Fn...”
