    It is possible to set these stops to allow overlapping limits, as shown in the image on the previous page. Note: If needed for your application, order optional mechanical stops with your PTU because they are installed during manufacturing. Copyright 2016, FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.

  • Page 38: Default Limits

    Note: Larger step modes increase torque and maximum speed vs. smaller step modes. The PTU includes an automatic stepping mode (auto-step) that optimizes this trade-off for many applications. You may command the PTU in 1/8 steps when in automatic stepping mode. Copyright 2016, FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.

  • Page 39: Ptu-D48E Resolution

    These parameters should be set to values that are appropriate for your payload and application needs. This section provides an overview of how to optimize your PTU for high- power and/or high-speed operation. Please refer to the Pan-Tilt E Series Command Reference Manual for complete instructions.

  • Page 40: High-Speed Operation

    The speed and acceleration of a mechanical system depend on the inertial properties of the payload. The ability of the PTU to successfully move the payload without losing synchronization depends upon the inertial payload factors and their relationship to power supply voltage, unit speed, acceleration, position, motor torque, etc. Copyright 2016, FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.

  • Page 41: Battery Powered Operation

    The PTU can be battery powered. Battery-powered applications must conserve as much power as possible. The PTU includes commands that control pan-tilt motor power consumption both while moving and when stopped. Please refer to the Pan-Tilt E Series Command Reference Manual for more information.
