Azimuth Torque Run
Azimuth Torque Run (AzTorqueRun) sets the typical average running torque (L)
of the azimuth motor under normal conditions. The lower this setting can be the
less the wear and tear on the Dish Mount.
This setting determines the rate of acceleration of motor speed from the Azimuth
PWM Low (AzPwmLow
PWM value until input motor torque (T) matches AzTorqueRun (L). When this
happens the PWM (P) will stop incrementing and continue to run at that value.
The manufacture has set these values in default to typically be half of the DC
Motor rated output torque.
Making adjustments to this setting without the direction of MotoSAT Technical
Support could cause the system to not function properly or even damage to the
Dish Mount.
Azimuth Torque Limit
Azimuth Torque Limit (AzTorqueLimit) is the maximum input motor torque
allowed during dish movement. If this value is exceeded the J1 Controller will
reset the current PWM back to the PWM Low (AzPwmLow
to move the Dish Mount.
If the Azimuth Torque Limit is still exceeded until the Stall Time Out
(AzStallTimeout) is reached the Dish Mount will stop movement.
The manufacture has set these values in default to typically be the DC Motor rated
output torque. It is not recommended to set this value higher than the motor
ratings.
Making adjustments to this setting without the direction of MotoSAT Technical
Support could cause the system to not function properly or even damage to the
Dish Mount.
Azimuth PWM Low
The Azimuth PWM Low (AzPwmLow
voltage level in the J1 Controller motor driver circuits.
PWM Low, motor voltages performs two functions. One is to reduce the
mechanical start-up stress on the Dish Mount. Second is to allow the Dish Mount
to move at slower speeds for signal peaking. The lower this value can be set and
still perform reliably the better overall performance of the mount.
