Configuration Of Servo Speed; Configuration Of Servo Outputs With Input Unit - Esu SwitchPilot User Manual

Programming

10.3. Configuration of servo speed

For each one of the servo outputs you can set the running time
of the servo from point A to B to model prototypical motions.
The CVs 37, 40, 43 and 46 are responsible for this. Possible
values range from 0 to 63 as a multiple of 0.25 sec. For example,
the servo takes about 15 * 0.25 = 3.75 seconds to reach the
other end position at the factory default setting of 15.
Higher values may lead to a slower movement and may cause
the servo to jerk or stutter since it cannot keep up very low
revolutions at a constant speed. In this case reduce the value or
use a servo with a different gear ratio and slower movement. Of
course, the SwitchPilot cannot change the mechanical properties
of the servo.
The SwitchPilot Servo can internally control the speed steps more
precisely than the SwitchPilot. Use the SwitchPilot Servo for
switching tasks that depend on slowly running servos.

10.4. Configuration of servo outputs with input unit

SwitchPilot Servo
For the configuration of the servo output without a digital conrol
unit the SwitchPilot Servo has a programming panel with three
push buttons and five LEDs (see figure 13):

All changes are executed immediately when using the input unit
for configuration. To test your settings all servos should be properly
connected and installed. The configuration of the four servo
outputs is done in a pre-set sequence:
Start
Servo 1: Position „A" Position „B"
Servo 2: Position „A" Position „B"
Servo 3: Position „A" Position „B"
Servo 4: Position „A" Position „B"
Finish
The programming sequence has to be started as follows:
1) Press the programming button and hold it long enough until
(after about two seconds) the LED blinks as follows: short,
short, pause, short, short, pause and so on.
2) You may now release the button, the decoder is in learning
mode. The servo 1 LED lights up constantly. Servo 1 moves to
the current end position „A".
3) Use the + and – buttons to set the desired end position „A"
for servo 1. The servo will immediately move to that position.
4) Confirm the new position by pressing the programming
button a)
5) Servo 1 will now move to the current end position „B".
6) Use the + and – buttons to set the desired end position „B"
for servo 1. The servo will immediately move to that position.
7) Confirm the new position by pressing the programming
button a)
