Run Tab
The Run tab lets you exercise the motors and visualize all the inputs and outputs of the
controller.
A powerful chart recorder is provided to plot real-time controller parameters on the PC,
and/or log to a file for later analysis.
FIGURE 20-23. RUN tab
Each group of monitored parameters can be disabled with a checkbox at the upper left
corner of their frame. By default, all are enabled. Disabling one or more will increase the
capture resolution in the chart and log of the remaining ones.
Status and Fault Monitoring
Status LEDs show the real-time state of key operating flags. The meaning of each LED is
displayed next to it and can vary from one controller to another.
The Fault LEDs indicate all fault conditions. Any one LED that is lit will cause the controller
to disable the power to all motor output channels. The meaning of each LED is displayed
next to it and can vary from one controller to another.
The Def Config Fault LED indicates that an invalid configuration is read from the controller
and the controller has reverted to its factory default configuration. This would be an ex-
tremely unlikely occurrence, but if it happens, reload your custom configuration and verify
that the new configuration is not lost when restarting the controller a few times. If the
controller loses its configuration, this means it is faulty that it should not be used.
