DAC-310 is not confined to axis positioning but can program parameters, related to other machine functions, as well. It is possible to program several steps which can be combined to programs. The DAC-310 is capable of controlling servo-loop systems, a one- or two-speed AC or DC drive system.

Delem Range : 0 - 1 Unit Default : 1 Function Enables CY (step repetition) parameter in the user interface. Parameter 55: Enable Steps Range : 0 - 1 Unit Default : 1 Function Enables ST (step) parameter in the user interface.
Delem Part III - The diagnostic program To be able to test a DAC-310 control, it has been equipped with a diagnostic program. With the test functions of the diagnostic program the service engineer can test the control itself and the communications to externally connected system components.
In the description of the tests it is indicated which component(s) is(are) responsible for correct functioning of that particular part. See for exploded view drawing with all internal cables and cards of the DAC-310 control the included diagrams at the end of part I.
Delem 2. Test-menu 2.1. Start To select the diagnostic program the following steps have to be performed: move the cursor to the M field enter the access code 741. The diagnostic screen of the control looks as follows: To end the diagnostic program the power supply to the control can be switched off and then on again to enter the normal operation menu.
Delem 2.2. Test functions In 1 - 4 These digits refer to the digital inputs of the control. To test the digital inputs, apply 24V to the inputs and check if they change to ‘1’. Out 1-8 These digits refer to the digital outputs of the control. To change an output, move the cursor to the required output number and press ENTER.
