value.
NOTE:
The next two parameters are accessible only if P5138 is
set for % val or diff.
P5140.X Based
This parameter is the based-upon specifier which
determines the variable upon which the upper target
value of this setpoint is based. The selection determines
that it will be one of the ten variables or specifies that it
will be based upon one of the setup parameters of
another particular setpoint.
P5141.X Value
This parameter has two sets of choices, depending on the
choice made for P5140. If selection P5140-0 (Var #) was
made, then the choices are restricted to specifying which
variable the upper de-activation target will be based on.
If P5140 specified one of the other setpoints, then the
choices are restricted to naming the particular setpoint
setup value, the lower activation parameter, the upper
activation parameter, the lower de-activation parameter
or the lower de-activation parameter.
P5150.X Par
This parameter is available if Setpoint #1 is set to output
by parameter P5100. P5150 offers a selection of 33
parameters that the setpoint will be based upon.
P5160.X Actv
This parameter is available if Setpoint #1 is set to input
by parameter P5100. When Setpoint #1 is activated,
Macros #0 thru #15 (or none) will be invoked.
P5161.X DeAct
This parameter is available if Setpoint #1 is set to input
by parameter P5100. When Setpoint #1 is de-activated,
Macros #0 thru #15 (or none) will be invoked.
P5200 through P8200
These parameters each have three selections; disable,
output and input, and define setpoints #2 through #32 in
the same manner as parameter P5100. These parameters
range from P5200 for setpoint #2 through P8200 for
setpoint #32.
P8210 through P8261
These parameters each apply to the behavior of the
setpoint, and are structured identically to the previous
discussion for parameters P5110 through P5161 which
detail parameters for setpoint #1. These parameters range
from P8210 through P8261 for setpoint #2, P8310
through P8361, for setpoint #3, all the way up to P8210
through P8261 for setpoint #32.
21.3 Setpoint Example Setups (Front
Panel Entry)
SETPOINT EXAMPLE #1
A good application example would be to have a macro
automatically invoked as a container of parts is placed on
the platform. This macro could be programmed to do a
number of what would normally be cumbersome
operations if done manually. Some macro examples
might be to auto-accumulate parts, prompt as a check-
weigher (good, bad or over), etc.
The setpoint would be actuated when the quantity is
above 3 pieces (threshold). As motion settles, the macro
would be invoked. The macro would then perform a
specific operation, such as an accumulation. As the
quantity fell below 2 pieces, the setpoint would reset. Its
now ready for the next cycle.
NOTE:
The specific parameter number being set is specified
before each <SELECT> command on each line. This
has been done for clarity. When entering the setup data,
the <SELECT> key may be pressed to advance to the
next parameter.
