Setting Up Parameters

Destinations

Index.ResetProfileLimited

If a timed index was not able to complete in the specified time, the Index.ProfileLimited
source will activate. Index.ResetProfileLimited is used to clear the ProfileLimited flag and
acknowledge that the index did not complete in the specified time. This can be activated
through an assignment, or through a user program. This function is edge-sensitive, so holding
it active will not prevent ProfileLimited from activating.

Index.#.Initiate

The Index.#.Initiate destination is used to initiate the specific index. The Index is initiated on
the rising edge of this function. An Index cannot be initiated if there is an Home, Jog, or
Program in progress, or if the Stop destination or if a travel limit is active. It can be activated
from an assignment or from a program.

Index.#.Sensor Trigger

If registration to Sensor is selected, when this destination activates, motor position is captured
and is used as the registration point for registration type indexes.

Adding and Deleting Indexes

Adding or removing indexes from the user configuration can be done in three ways. Indexes
may only be added or deleted while offline.

Toolbar Icon Method

The Add Index icon (shown below) will add a new index to the user configuration. Indexes
are added in sequential order. Clicking on the icon will add an index and bring you to the
Index setup screen allowing you to enter the index parameters.

The Delete Index icon (shown below) will delete an index from the user configuration. The
highest numbered index will automatically be deleted unless a different index is selected on
the Indexes heading screen. To delete a specific index, click on the Motion/Indexes branch
in the hierarchy. From this view, select the specific Index you wish to delete, and then click
on the Delete Index icon.

PowerTools Menu Bar Method

Adding an Index

From the PowerTools Pro menu bar, select Edit/New/Index. An index will be added in
sequential order and you will be brought to the Index setup screen allowing you to enter the
index parameters.
