Rapid-Air SERVO FEED WITH PILOT RELEASE: KBX SERIES User Manual

Page 15

F. STANDARD PROGRAM- DATA INSTRUMENTS INTERFACE (J52)TB1-7)
With the jumper in place, the standard program is active. This means that a job number
can be programmed from the keypad. Remove jumper, recycle power and the Data
Instruments or Link program is active. Only the manual mode will work with the keys at
this time as the job programming is preformed on the Data or Link systems and sent to
the Rapid Air control and displayed on job number 99.

G. KEYPAD AND DISPLAY INTERFACE (RS232 PORT)
The keypad/display is the interface between the operator and the resident program.
The Pacific Scientific drive is purchased with a great many capabilities, none of which
can be used unless a program is written to utilize these capabilities. Rapid-Air put a
great deal of time making a program that is user friendly and yet gets the job done
efficiently. We took all the questions and constructive criticism and came up with a
program that would cover all the applications, yet be easy to interface and program by
a customer.

If an operator reads the programming procedure in this manual and then reads the
screen parameters listed as they are displayed and acts on them by inputting data as
needed, the servo can be up and running in a very short time.
1. Select a job number.
2. Input or review parameter for that job number.
3. Thread up material in manual mode.
4. If properly interfaced, go into automatic mode.
