5.3.5 Factory Values Menu
The Interface can be configured to a range of factory preset values. The menu items allow
the selection of the actuator controller model, speed of actuator operation and actuator
accuracy. When the save function from this menu is executed all of the controller ID’s will be
reset to A1 – A100 and all of the controllers except controller 1 will be made inactive.
If no selections are made for tyP, SPd or ACC then the values from controller 1 will be used
as defaults. If a SAv is executed without tyP, SPd or ACC being set, the settings for
controller 1 will be propagated to all of the remaining controllers, the controller ID’s will be
reset to A1 – A100 and all of the controllers except controller 1 will be made inactive.
There are two ways to execute a factory reload. The first is to utilize a preset factory table.
This table contains known working values for all of the parameters suitable for most
installations. To select the correct tables for the actuator controller you are using, first use
tyP, SPd and ACC to select the model of your controller, the running speed of the actuator
and the required position accuracy. The required configuration can then be saved using the
Sav function.
The second method of saving default values uses a template that can be preset with a
modified set of values based on an individual actuator controller. To use this function, first
setup and test an individual actuator controller. Once the operation of this controller has
been verified use the template function (tPL) in the controller menu (CtL) to load the
parameter template buffer. To save this template buffer to all of the remaining controllers, do
not select a type, speed or accuracy, instead proceed directly to Sav function. Once select
this function will save the template parameter values to the Interface’s parameter table for
all100 controllers.
Note these tables are not automatically sent to the actuator controllers. Use the global Snd
command to move the Interface’s parameter table to the active controllers.

SAv Selecting YES will load the selected values to all 100 controller
parameter storage locations. Note that the new values are not
automatically downloaded to the networked actuator controllers.
Use the Snd command to send the parameters to the actuator
controllers.
