Poti Input
Actuator control via external potentiometer, only visible and adjustable with "Signal IN" = "Poti"
Matching of the set value signal for the left and right end positions for controlling the actuator via a potentiometer.
This menu item can only be set, when "Poti" is selected under "Signal IN". The DIP switch must be set correctly on the
board (see menu item "Signal IN").
The connected potentiometer is supplied with 5 V DC via the electronics of the actuator.
The set value signal of both end positions can be set as a percentage of the total voltage applied to the potentiometer.
The following settings are possible for the left and right end positions:
Set value signal = 0% | 10% | 90% | 100% | free (free values, selectable via display)
Poti Output
Position feedback via potentiometer, only visible and adjustable with "Signal OUT" = "Poti"
Setting of the actual value signal at the output of the electrical potentiometers relating to the left and right end
position.
This menu item can only be set, when "Poti" is selected under "Signal OUT".
The DIP switch must be set correctly on the board (see menu item "Signal OUT").
The actual value signal of both end positions can be set as a percentage of the total voltage applied to the potentiome-
ter.
The following settings are possible for the left and right end positions:
Actual value signal = 0% | 10% | 90% | 100% | free (free values, selectable via display)
!
The terminal designation for the potentiometer output is differently to prior Tensor electronics. The original terminals 18
and 19 are replaced with terminals 54 and 55. Wiring diagram see description for "Signal OUT".
Performance data for potentiometer
Resolution: 12 bit
Output impedance: 1 k
Supply voltage: 4.75...28.8 V DC
Set Value
Settings for set value input when controlling with i-Act controller, only adjustable with "Signal IN" = "Ctrl. [mA]"
or "Ctrl. [V]"
Matching the set value signal for the left and right end position.
This menu item can only be set, when "Ctrl. [mA]" or "Ctrl. [V]" is selected under "Signal IN".
The set value signal of both end positions can be set as follows:
Set value signal current = 0 mA | 4 mA | 20 mA | free (free values, selectable via display)
Set value signal voltage = 0 V | 2 V | 10 V | free (free values, selectable via display)
!
For a proper function, the DIP switch near the buttons must be set equivalent to the settings in the menu! Setting the
DIP switch see description for "Signal IN".
NOTICE: Defaults for the set value of the end positions must cover min. 20% of the total range, otherwise "Error Code
80" will be displayed.
Example: Signal range 4 mA => Coverage 4 mA x 20% = 0.8 mA
Lower end position 0.1 mA => Upper end position min. 0.9 mA (= 0.1mA + 0.8 mA)
