Gullco GK-200-RL - Manual (Page 10)

8
Externally, the Gullco GSP-2100 control has switching for Forward/Neutral/Reverse, Run/Stop,
Manual/Auto & program variable increment/decrement (where applicable), as well as a rotary
encoder for speed control.
Please refer to the supplemental manual (GD-075) “Technical Information For The Gullco “GSP-
2100” Micro-Processor Based, 24 Volt DC Motor Control” (the pages are numbered with a prefix of
“T-“), attached at the end of this manual, for additional, more comprehensive details than those
provided in the following overview.
The Run/Stop Switch is a two (2) position toggle switch located on the GSP control. Refer to the
“Manual Operation” and “Automatic Operation” sections later in this manual for further details of this
switch.
= “STOP” - This over-rides all other controls and when activated will apply
regenerative breaking to the motor to bring it to a dead stop, and will disallow any
further operation of the motor while ever it is in this state. This position will also reset
an error code once the fault has been rectified. The Run/Stop switch needs to be in
this position to change between automatic and manual modes and also to alter any
of the program variable parameters.
= “RUN” - This removes the “STOP” command and allows the control to assume an
operational status.
WARNING! Avoid repeatedly starting and stopping the carriage in quick, short succession, as
this will reduce the life expectancy of the control and the motor.
The direction selection switch allows the operator to set the travel direction. It is also used as the
method to change the values/settings of the program variables. This is a three (3) position switch
with the center position being "Neutral" (no direction chosen). Refer to the “Manual Operation” and
“Automatic Operation” sections later in this manual for further details of this switch.
= “FORWARD” - When the switch is in this position, the control will drive the motor in
the Forward direction, while in manual mode and when so permitted. It is also used
as the method of adjustment for the program variables when used in conjunction
with the speed adjustment knob.
= “NEUTRAL” - When the switch is in this position, the control will not drive the motor
in either direction while in manual mode.
= “REVERSE” - When the switch is in this position, the control will drive the motor in
the Reverse direction, while in manual mode and when so permitted. It is also used
as the method of adjustment for the program variables when used in conjunction
with the speed adjustment knob.
WARNING! Avoid changing the travel direction without making sure that the carriage comes to a
complete stop first. Failure to comply may cause an overload.
WARNING! Avoid repeatedly starting and stopping the carriage in quick, short succession, as
this will reduce the life expectancy of the control and the motor.
