8.5.1.4 Meter Go function
The Meter Go function is a special function for printing length specifications on
cabels, pipes etc. The function results from several parameter settings.
With these settings one can ensure that the meter counter carries on counting even
if there are no print outs. The counter works independent from the print out as long
as there are encoder signals.
External encoder signals are required for the position and speed measuring. In
addition there should be an external PrintGo signal provided in exactly the same
distance as the required print out of the length specifications (e.g. after each meter).
It is not recommended to use the Meter-Go function with the internal PrintGo signal.
To use the internal PrintGo signal you would have to specify the cable speed. Even
the smallest deviation would sum up with each print out and this would lead to a
significant deviation between the printed length specifications and the current length
of the cable.
Parameter settings Meter Go function
The crucial setting for the Meter Go
function within the parameters for the
counter object is the setting for the
<Counter Increment>. This value has
to be set to with PrintGo. Please see
example for details.
For printing length specifications on
cables, pipes etc. use the parameters
shown above. These settings are true
while using an external PrintGo signal.
Please see example for details.
