4.3 Cycling (CYCLES)

This setting allows the user to configure the number of up and down cycles through which the crosshead
will sequence. One cycle consists of the crosshead moving to a limit switch or soft limit, whichever occurs
first, at the specified speed, stopping for the specified amount of dwell time, and returning to the other
limit at the specified speed. If the independent up and down speed feature is not enabled, the speed will
be the same in both directions.

Default setting: 00000 (off)
Available settings: 00000 – 99999

4.4 Upper Limit Dwell Time and Lower Limit Dwell Time (HI DWELL and LO DWELL)

This setting corresponds to the amount of time, in seconds, for which the crosshead stops at the limit
during a cycle sequence.

Note:

The dwell time setting is unavailable for an auto return sequence.

Default setting: 0 (no dwell time)
Available settings: 0 – 9999.9

Label Description

Increases dwell time in increments of .1. Holding down + will increment at an
increasingly faster rate. If 9999.9 is reached the next number will be 0 and
continue incrementing.

–

Decreases dwell time in increments of .1. Holding down – will decrement at
an increasingly faster rate. If 0 is reached the next number will be 9999.9
and continue decrementing.
