ECON-4, SW version 1.4 rev.1, ©ComAp – March 2016 Draft 32
ECON-4 Reference guide.pdf
I. Connect the actuator to ECON-4, outputs ACT+ ACT- (take care about polarity!!)
J. Adjust ECON-4 parameter: Main PID: ECON-4 mode to MANUAL and run WinScope
recording with values: Gas Dose and Act1 Fdbck in range 0.0 – 100.0%.
K. When recording is active, change parameter: Main PID: Act position from 0 to 10,
20, 30, .. 100 and check the response of the actuator (via feedback signal in
WinScope). In case the response is too lazy or too fast, then update the
corresponding Act gain, Act int and Act der parameters in ActTypex (in our case
ActType1) to get required response.
L. After adjustment is finished, put parameter: Main PID: ECON-4 mode to AUTOMATIC
M. Based on the chosen type of control (BIN, ANA, DATA) connect the required signal
N. Adjust all other parameters like Nominal, Idle speed, Geer teeth, Overspeed, Speed
and Load PID, ActChannel (to the number which ECON-4 output you are using)
O. ECON-4 is ready for start attempt.
