General Information
Control Menu
The control uses four programming keys to operate the
control. The power key controls manual operation in
override mode.
Key
ENTER - Allows entry to menu and access to
adjust each setting. Push and hold the enter
key to enter program mode. If security feature
has been enabled, enter proper code. Once
inside the menu, the enter key selects a menu
item or a parameter to adjust. Any changes to
the settings are saved at power-down.
BACK - Moves the current menu location up
one level higher than it was before. It is also
used to get back to the normal operating dis-
play.
Arrow Down - Allows the user to step down
through the program menu or decrease a set-
ting.
Arrow Up - Allows the user to step up through
the program menu or increase a
setting.
Power - Allows the user to temporarily stop or
to start control operation. When the LCD status
reads "Stop/Run", hold the power key down for
just over a second and the control will start the
override operation. In override mode, the hop-
per or table turns on regardless of input con-
nection and signal from the PLC at the M12.
NOTE: See Control Menu Layout, page 11, for the menu
structure. When in menu mode and no keys are pressed for
one minute, the display reverts to normal
operating display mode.

Function
Power Setting
The G-Flex 1500 comes from the factory set to "Auto
Track" for both Amplitude Source and Frequency Mode.
This allows the user to adjust the CFR (Constant Feed
Rate) value to the desired feed rate. The control will
automatically adjust the Amplitude and the Frequency to
ensure a constant feed rate even as the parts load
changes. To show when frequency Auto Tracking is
enabled, the normal display menu will show a bold "F".
When "=" is shown in bold, the control is locked onto the
resonate frequency of the table. The amplitude and fre-
quency can be changed to Manual adjustment if desired
(see Control Menu Layout, page 11).
Auto Scan
Before the G-Flex 1500 can be operated, the control
output frequency needs to be adjusted to match the nat-
ural frequency of both the tray and hopper. Auto Scan
locates the tray and hopper resonate frequency. Once
auto tracking has found the resonate frequency, it can
maintain the resonate frequency and amplitude as the
parts load changes. See Start-Up Procedure, page 8,
for Auto Scan Set Up.
