5. Configuration
The mAI085-MB Actuator Interface is configured using a menu driven interface. The operator
keyboard changes function during configuration. This section will describe the configuration of
the interface. The description will first define the keyboard functions, then describe the
configuration menus used.
5.1 Overview of System Configuration
Each actuator connected to the Interface has parameters that control its operation. These
parameters are stored in non-volatile memory at each actuator. These parameters can be
modified using the keyboard of the Interface. The Interface can also store in its internal non-
volatile memory, a copy of the parameters from each actuator.
The following table defines the steps used to set the actuator parameters and calibrate each
actuator controller.
Step Function Action at Interface Action at
Actuator Controller
1 Load Factory Default Values for the
Interface using the Factory Values
Menu..
All internal Interface
parameters are
overwritten with the
factory default values
no action
2
Using the Controller Menu, set the iD
and adjust the parameters as required
for controller 1.
Parameters for
actuator controller 1
are adjusted in the
Interface parameter
table
no action
3
Using the Controller Menu, Snd the
adjusted parameters to controller 1.
no action Parameters at
actuator controller 1
are overwritten with
values from the
Interface
4
From the Controller Menu, calibrate
controller 1, using the CAL function.
no action Calibration
parameters are
adjusted by the
actuator controller
5 Test the configuration by exercising
controller 1
Open and close the
gate to several
positions including fully
open and fully closed
and verify the limit
switch operation if
used
Controller will position
the gate
