4 PROFILE MANAGEMENT
PROFILES AND MODES EXPLAINED
The operation of the R-net system is based around the concept of Profiles and Modes.
A Profile is a collection of programmable parameters that affect the operation and performance of the wheelchair. It is typic al
to have 5 Profiles, each set-up to give a different driving performance. For example, Profile 1 may have very slow settings for
speeds and accelerations, while Profiles 2 through to 5 would have progressively faster settings. In this way, the user can
change the performance of the wheelchair by selecting the appropriate Profile with the Profile Button on the JSM. Although
Profiles are used mainly to change driving performance, they can also contain parameters for other functions, such as seating
control.
A Mode reflects the actual operation that occurs as a result of a joystick command. Typical examples are Drive Mode, Seating
Control Mode and Bluetooth Mode. The user can select the required Mode with the Mode Button on the JSM. Note, it will only
be possible to select a Mode if there is a Module that will support that Mode connected into the system. For example, if there is
no Mouse Module connected, then the user will not be able to select that Mode.
PROFILE MANAGEMENT
The R-net system can have up to 8 Profiles. Conventionally, Profile 8 is reserved for Dual Attendant Control (but can be re-
assigned), meaning there are 7 possible user Profiles; but normally just 5 are used. The parameter, Profile Enable, sets whether
a particular Profile is available to the user.
Operations of the Profile Button on the JSM simply select the next available Profile. When the highest available Profile is
reached, the next Profile Button operation will simply select the lowest available Profile.
The LCD on the JSM displays the currently selected Profile as a text string of up to 20 characters. The number of the Profile is
also displayed.
The Profile naming text is programmable, meaning you can choose your own description and language. The parameter, Profile
Name, sets the text. Below is an example of programming for both Profile availability and naming.
Profiles 1 to 5 are available to the user and have been given meaningful names. Profiles 6 and 7 are not available, and Profi le 8
has been assigned to Dual Attendant operation.
