Determine which signal type your machine uses and
set the Rotary Selection Switch (See Figures 7 & 8).
Table 2
Start Only Signal (momentary)
When the Start/Stopped input signal pulses high, the RSD200 algorithm will begin adapting to account for the
roll’s diameter and inertia, and in the case of the RSD200P, the web tension. The web must be in motion when
this signal goes high otherwise the Adaptive Gain will increase to maximum. After the machine stops, the RSD200
will continue trying to adapt until the Start/Stopped input pulses high again and causes the adaptation process to
start over.
encoder (Pulses)
The first time a machine driven encoder pulses the Start/Stopped input high, the RSD200 algorithm will begin
adapting to account for the roll’s diameter and inertia and, in the case of the RSD200P, the web tension. The web
must be in motion when this signal goes high otherwise the Adaptive Gain will increase to maximum. The RSD200
will continue to actively adapt until the encoder pulses cease for three seconds. At that time, the RSD200 will as-
sume the machine has stopped and the Adaptive Gain will return to a constant value (See OPERATIONS section).

1. RS22 SeRIAL COmmUNICATIONS,
RSD200 TO A PC
In order to setup the RSD200, a serial cable and the
RSD200 Communications Software are required. A custom
RS-232 serial cable is provided with the RSD200 Dancer
Controller. The RSD200 Communications Software is
available free by download from Nexen’s web site,
www.nexengroup.com, or by purchase from Nexen.
Downloading the Software from the Nexen Web Site
1. Enter the RSD200 Communications Software
product number (see PART NUMbER section) in the
product number search window and press Go.
2. Under Resources, select Software.
3. Next select the appropriate software product.
Instructions for installing the software as well as the
Download Software link can be found under Resources.
Instructions for using the RSD200 Communications
Software can be accessed in the Help menu.
getting Started with the Communications Software
After completing all jumper and switch settings:
1. Replace printed circuit board and reconnect connec-
tors.
2. Connect the RSD Communications cable from the
PC to the Auxiliary RS232 Port (see Figure 9).

3. Apply 24 VDC power.
4. Check that the green Indicators, I1 and I2 are on. If
not, refer to the TROUbLESHOOTING section.
NOTe: The remaining steps involve configuring the
RSD200 via the RSD200 Communications Software.
