Software Setup and Operation
The default value is zero (Ø), which means if the index count is greater than zero (Ø), the FX
drive will immediately initiate the next index upon completion of the previous index.
Feed To Sensor (Ø)
This parameter only appears in Feed To Sensor and Registration Indexes.
When this parameter is set to “Yes” and you select Registration Index, the FX drive will
accelerate to the Feed Velocity and continue at that velocity until a signal is received on the
input line assigned to Input Function #16, Feed Sensor Ø. Once the signal is received, the FX
drive will start the Distance/Velocity part of the index.
If you select a Feed To Sensor Index, the FX drive will execute the distance part of the index.
When the motor reaches that distance, the drive will change to Feed Velocity until the input
line assigned to Feed Sensor Ø is activated or the Sensor Limit Distance is exceeded.
If this parameter is set to Yes and the parameter Feed To Sensor (1) is also set to Yes, the FX
drive will continue at the feed velocity until either Feed Sensor Ø or 1 receives a valid input.
Feed To Sensor (1)
This parameter only appears in Feed To Sensor and Registration Indexes.
This parameter operates the same as Feed To Sensor Ø. If this parameter is set to Yes and the
Feed To Sensor (Ø) parameter is also set to Yes, the FX drive will continue at the feed
velocity until either Feed Sensor Ø or 1 receives a valid input.
Feed To Torque Limit
This parameter only appears in Feed To Sensor and Registration Indexes and may be used in
place of either of the Feed Sensor inputs.
When set to Yes, the FX drive will accelerate the motor at the Feed Accel Rate to the Feed
Velocity. The index will continue at this velocity until the torque on the motor shaft is equal
to the setting you have entered for this parameter. The value entered here is expressed in
percent of continuous torque, 200 percent being the highest possible value.
Once the FX drive senses motor torque reaching the level of this entry for this index, the index
will proceed to the next step in the process (the distance/velocity move). Use slower than
normal acceleration times for Feed To Torque Indexes to avoid false tripping because of the
motor using too much torque just getting up to speed.
