The definition of the Speed setting value depends upon the Speed Control Method and Motor Type selected:
Closed Loop
Closed Loop is the default Speed Control Method and the value entered is in percent of the motor rated speed based upon the Motor Type selected. The ConveyLinx module will adjust the motor output based upon fluctuating motor loading in order to maintain this set speed.
Type in the desired speed as a percentage. Valid values are from 1 to 100. You can also use the Set All button to set the entered speed to each motor in the From Node # / To Node # boxes. In this example we set the speed to be 80% for Node 2 and when we click the Set All button, the Left MDRs from nodes 2 thru 12 will each get the same speed setting |
Open Loop
Open Loop value entered is in % of the selected Motor Type’s rated Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) voltage. With this Speed Control Method, the PWM voltage being fed to the motor remains constant and the actual measured motor speed will fluctuate depending upon motor load.
Type in the desired speed as a percentage. Valid values are from 1 to 100. You can also use the Set All button to set the entered speed to each motor in the From Node # / To Node # boxes. In this example we set the speed to be 80% for Node 2 and when we click the Set All button, the Left MDRs from nodes 2 thru 12 will each get the same speed setting |
