RC4600 ACU Board Set
2.1.1.2.2.6 MOVETO
The MOVETO mode is intended to provide an easy way to move the antenna to a certain position for
doing testing such as cutting antenna patterns. This mode is also useful for tuning up automatic
movements.

The current azimuth, elevation, and polarization angles are displayed. When the mode is first entered,
the current positions shown are the target positions. New target positions can be selected for azimuth,
elevation, and polarization by pressing the <1>, <2>, or <3> key respectively. After setting target
positions and setting the desired speed, the automatic movement may be initiated by pressing the <4>
key.
<0> SPEED:NORMAL
The state of this field when this mode is entered will be "NORMAL". This means that any move will be
using the standard speed control of the RC4600. When the <0/Speed> key is pressed, this field will
change to "SLOW". This means that the move will never go faster than the slow speed set in the "DRIVE
PARAMETERS" configuration screen corresponding to the axis being moved.
<5>SENSOR:PLATFORM
The state of this field when this mode is entered will be "PLATFORM". This means that all of the angles
displayed, and all movements requested will occur in platform relative angles. When the <5> key is
pressed this field will change to "HORIZON". This means that the angles displayed, and all movements
requested will occur in local horizontal relative platform angles.
2.1.1.2.2.7 STANDBY
The STANDBY mode allows the user to enable or disable the servo drive amplifiers. When the drives are
inactive, all azimuth and elevation movements will not be allowed. Additionally, while in this state "*
ANTENNA IN STANDBY – DRIVES INACTIVE *" will flash on line 4 of the display.
D R I V E S : I N A C T I V E
< E N T E R > M A K E D R I V E S A C T I V E
When the drives are inactive, pressing the <ENTER> key will switch them to the active state.
D R I V E S : A C T I V E
< E N T E R > M A K E D R I V E S I N A C T I V E
When the drives are active, pressing the <ENTER> key will switch them to the inactive state. At power
on, the drives will be in the inactive state. The only exception will be if the controller was powered cycled
while tracking. When this occurs, the controller will make the drives active at power on and resume
tracking.
