ISM-8 – ACTUATOR INHIBITS - CHANNEL ‘X’ (X = 1 TO 8)
5.3.6 CHANNEL X – UP: ASSIGN
The R-net ISM-8 has 3 separate software inhibits for the up direction of each of its output channels, 1 to 8. Up is defined as pin
2 positive with respect to pin 1 when the joystick is displaced forward and Invert Channel Direction is not set. These inhibits are
referred to as A, B and C; and each can be initiated by any actual hardware input in the system. This functionality means tha t
any actuator channel direction can be inhibited from 3 individual sources.
The parameter, Assign, links the software inhibits to an actual hardware inhibit. For example, if Assign: A is set to 18, then the
operation of Channel x Up Inhibit will be controlled via Inhibit Input 18, which are on the ISM-8.
The programmable options are Off 2, 3 and 18 to 33.
If set to Off, then the relevant Channel x Up Inhibit can never be active.
If set to a numeric value, then the relevant Channel x Up Inhibit will be under the control of the Inhibit Input that
corresponds to that number. Inhibit Inputs 2 and 3 are on the Power Module and Inhibits 18 to 33 will be on the ISM-8.
5.3.7 CHANNEL X – UP: INHIBIT IN BANDS
This sets the condition of the input (assigned to Channel x Up Inhibit) that will result in an inhibit of the actuator drive in the up
direction. Up is defined as pin 2 positive with respect to pin 1 when the joystick is displaced forward and Invert Channel
Direction is not set. The inhibit can be set to occur in any combination of bands. See Inhibits Explained for more details on
Bands.
The programmable options are Band 0, Band 1, Band 2 and Band 3.
If the parameter is selected, then a drop down menu as below will appear and the bands required to invoke the inhibit should
be selected. For example, if the inhibit is required for Band 3 only, then that option should be selected, as shown.
When the drop down menu is closed, it would appear as below.
