RP Start/Stop in Local

If enabled, this feature allows the Logical input "Run Permission" to start and
stop the feeder when the Feeder Control source is set to "Local".

Jog OK

This feature enables "jogging" the belt, which refers to running the belt for brief
period, only as long as a button is pressed (see Main Menu > Feeder Control).
Also, if "Belt Reversible" is enabled (see above), jogging the belt in reverse is
also enabled by this setting.

Lock Source

If this is turned on you will not be able to change the Feeder Control source
(see Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Feeder Control > Source). This is to
protect the process from inadvertent changes that might cause a setpoint
change.

Lock Method

If this is turned on you will not be able to change the Feeder Control method
(see Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Feeder Control > Method). This is to
protect the process from inadvertent changes that might cause a setpoint
change.
Clamp SetP to Limits
If this feature is enabled, the setpoint (i.e. Feedrate or Speed) will be "clamped"
to its Limits, which are settable (see Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Limits).
This means no value outside of the limits will be accepted, regardless of
source, and the resultant value will be set to the appropriate limit. This can be
used for example to set the maximum rate that a feeder is allowed to run, or the
minimum.
Clamp Spd Dem to Limits
If this feature is enabled, the Belt Speed Demand will will be "clamped" to its
Limits, which are settable (see Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Limits). This
means no value outside of the limits will be accepted, and the resultant value
will be set to the appropriate limit.
Fast Start
If this feature is enabled, the belt feeder will attempt to "jump" at start to the
correct speed for the current setpoint. For this to happen, the following must be
true:
•
This feature must be enabled
•
The feeder control method must be "Feedrate" (see Main Menu >
Advanced Setup > Feeder Control > Method)
•
The "Use Head Load" feature must be enabled (see Main Menu >
Advanced Setup > Configuration > Use Head Load)
•
The current head load must be greater than 1% of Design Load
At start, the Genetix will calculate the desired Belt Speed Demand using the
Head Load (belt load), the Setpoint, and the Speed Factor. It will immediately
