MTS Acumen - Manual (Page 17)

Recommended :
After you open your station configuration file with the Station Manager application, MTS
recommends that you minimize the Station Manager window for the remainder of the session.
Be aware that the Station Manager application hosts the station configuration and performs
real-time control. Do not exit the Station Manager application while using your system.
For information about configuring your system to open station configuration files with launching the Station
Manager application, see
Creating a Desktop Shortcut That Includes a Controller (p. 187).
Restriction for Changing the Axial Acceleration Limit
Warning :
Changing the factory settings of the Axial Acceleration Limit can result in sudden and
unexpected actuator motion.
A moving actuator can injure anyone in its path or cause damage to fixtures and specimens.
Ensure Axial Limit settings remain as set at the factory before operating the system.
The supplied station configuration file (.cfg) has an Axial Acceleration Limit set at the factory as follows
and must not be changed:
• Upper Limit: 5.000 g
• Upper Action: C-Stop Interlock
• Lower Limit: -5.000 g
• Lower Action: C-Stop Interlock
C-Stop (Controlled Stop) Interlock Action
The C-Stop Interlock is an action you can assign to specimen and fixture limit detectors during system
setup.
For example, when you right-click the thumb control used to adjust limits in the Set Up node, a context
menu appears with C-Stop Interlock in the Actions list, along with other options, such as Interlock,
Indicate, and so on.
You can also assign the C-Stop Interlock action to limit detection activities when designing a test.
C-Stop Interlock Configuration
The C-Stop Interlock action is configured to Hold At Level in the Stable Displacement control mode
with the Zero the Output option enabled.
