LDT10 HMI interface is a MODBUS Master device, the networked actuators are Slave nodes, so they must be provided with an univocal address. Lika devices support the UNICAST mode, so the Master node issues a MODBUS request to an individual Slave.
LDT10 WARNING In the Network setup page if you match a node with a wrong position (for instance you match the Actuator 2 position with an actuator having an address different from “2”), then the communication cannot be established and the COMMUNICATION ERROR following message will appear on the display.
LDT10 HMI interface 5.1 Preliminary information Except for the first time the panel is started (for this case please refer to the “ 5.2 Starting the interface for the first time” section here below), at power-on the Home page appears on the display. From the Home page you can enter the full set of pages of the interface, provided that you comply with the protection level L required by the page.
LDT10 5.2 Starting the interface for the first time When you start the interface for the first time, the system displays the Network setup page. In normal work condition this page can be accessed only by Level 2 – Administrator users while Level 0 - User and Level 1 – manager users (see the ”5.3 Safety levels”...
Page 20
LDT10 The access to the functions of the basic level 0 is free and does not require any password. While the access to the functions of the level 1 and the level 2 requires a password to be entered. Passwords cannot be modified. To enter a password, you must first access the Network page (see on page 25) and then press the key in the menu at the top of the page.
LDT10 5.3.1. Level 0 - User It is the first security level and allows for a basic use of the interface. It does not require a password and is mainly aimed at the users that are involved in the production process. In this level the user is allowed to display most of the pages and to launch the recipes in order to start a production.
LDT10 WARNING When you start the interface for the first time, as it is compulsorily necessary to match one actuator at least with the interface, the system allows also the Level 0 and Level 1 users to enter the Network setup page and match the available devices with the node positions.
LDT10 5.4 Network setup page WARNING Level 2 – Administrator users only are allowed to manage the functions available in this page. As previously stated, when you start the interface for the first time, the system displays the Network setup page. In normal work condition this page can be accessed only by Level 2 –...

LDT10 Target position field allows to set the target position, i.e. the position that the actuator is commanded to reach. The value is expressed in pulses. See the “Target position” register in the “User's guide” of the specific actuator. After having set the target position you can start and check the motion of the axle to the target position by pressing the following keys: JOG -, JOG +,...
LDT10 5.7 Node status page WARNING All users are allowed to display this page. When you press the DETAILS key in the Node control page you enter the Node status page. In this page the complete list of the available alarms and statuses is displayed.
LDT10 5.8 Node setup page WARNING All users are allowed to display this page yet the functions are available to the Level 2 – Administrator users only. SETUP key in the Node control page you enter the When you press the Node setup page.
LDT10 As soon as you confirm the entry, if the entered value and any other setting are inconsistent, a red box appears on the left side of the fields. All the parameters in this page are described in the “User's guide” of the specific actuator, for a comprehensive description please refer to it.
LDT10 EXAMPLE Let's suppose that the actuator is installed on a 5-mm pitch worm screw. If you Pulse per revolution Decimals = 500 and = 2, at each rotation of the screw the system performs a 5-mm pitch with a resolution of one hundredth of a millimetre.

LDT10 Backlash, sometimes called lash or play, is clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence", and is a mechanical form of deadband.
