Remote Control Mode - WEST POS-124-U-PFN Technical Documentation Manual

6.3 Remote control mode

This function allows the user controlling the device via the USB interface. When active the module is inde-
pendent from the external demands. So we offer the possibility to put an axis into operation and test it with-
out having the fieldbus available. Further this mode helps also when trouble shooting is necessary, because
the plc or similar has not to be changed for trials. The WPC program therefor offers a simple user interface
for giving those demands. Following pictures show examples of both versions of the software with this view.
In version 3 a double click on the value to change is necessary before the slider can be moved or a value
can be typed in. In version 4 the slider can be moved directly by holding the mouse button. Special feature at
this device is the control of two axes in one device. Therefor at first the axis to control has to be selected. It is
also possible to move both axes in synchronous run. This option corresponds to the activation of the SC bit
via the fieldbus, means the once set demands are valid for both axes.
If the connection breaks down during the RC mode is active, the controller will be deactivated. An
error message (RC fault) is generated and displayed even after re-establishing the connection. It
can be quit like a standard error with the enable signal.
