7.4 Programmable parameters
Incorrect configuration settings
Falling, tipping over, collision due to programming errors
f Programming may only be performed by qualified personnel trained by the manufacturer. The manufacturer of
the product and the control unit manufacturer are not liable in case of damage caused by programming which
was not performed properly and/or which was not adjusted properly according to the user's abilities.
f Note that modified parameter settings in the configuration can lead to changes in driving characteristics. In
particular, changes to the speed, acceleration, braking or joystick settings can lead to unexpected and there-
fore uncontrollable driving characteristics and cause an accident.
f Parameters not described in this service manual may not be changed, or only in consultation with Ottobock.
f After configuration/programming is complete, the user must test the driving characteristics of the product un-
der the supervision of the qualified personnel.
The following description provides an overview of the programmable parameters. For detailed information regarding
programming, please see the document "PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY R-NET - TECHNICAL MANUAL SK77981/11"
from control unit manufacturer Curtiss-Wright as well as the online help for the PGDT R-Net programming software.
Further information on the parameters of special control is found in the 647G1242 instructions for use (qualified
personnel) "Special Controls R-Net + TEN°".
Additional parameters which may be accessible with a different version of the programming software may not be
changed or may only be changed following consultation with Ottobock.
7.4.1 General parameters
The following parameters can be set under Controls/Global:
Parameter Setting range Description
Momentary
Screens Enabled
Yes, no Used to set whether large, brief displays appear between changes in the
profile and speed settings.
Change Profile
while Driving
Yes, no Used to set whether profile changes are permitted while driving.
Change Speed
while Driving
Yes, no Used to set whether the [Faster] and [Slower] buttons are enabled while
driving.
Speed Adjust Yes, no Used to set whether the [Faster] and [Slower] buttons are enabled on the
joystick module.
Profile Button Profile,
Profiles/modes
Used to set whether profiles only or profiles as well as modes are selected
using the profile button on the control panel.
When Profiles/modes is set, first the available profiles and then the available
modes are selected using the profile button on the control panel. This means
that it can be used to carry out the same procedure as a button that is con-
nected to the socket for the external input device for the profile.
When the system has a control panel LED joystick module, this parameter
must be set to "Profiles".
Actuator Endstop
Beep
Yes, no Used to set whether a short beep sounds when a variable motor mechanism
reaches an end stop.
The beep sounds only with variable motor mechanisms with automatic end
stop recognition, i.e., when measuring the overcurrent.
Sounder Volume 0–10 Volume of the acoustic feedback provided when operating a button or a
switch on the joystick module.
When the parameter is set to 0 there is no acoustic feedback. The higher the
value, the louder the beep.
