SCENECONTROL 100 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

 

 

PORTABLE CONTROL PENDANT 

Some SceneControl 100 systems use a portable control pendant as either the main controller or as an auxiliary 

control point.  The pendant is equipped with a cable (usually 10m or 30’ long, but optionally as much as 25m 

long).  This cable is plugged into designated pendant receptacles.

e and maintain motion; releasing 

 the E-

these 

ges are attached to a latching mechanism; pulling on the plug by any other part will not release the latch. 

  

The features and controls of the portable control 

pendant are as follows: 

1. Rotary 

operator 

2.  Emergency Stop button 

3. Liquid Crystal Display (5.7” diag. 

touchscreen) 

4.  Membrane type function keys 

5.  Keyswitch operator  

 

The screens on the LCD display will be the 

same, whether the controller is a wall-mount 

station or a portable control pendant.  Function keys on the left of the screen are used to control motion, rather 

than the panel-mounted pushbuttons.  The upper left button is GO UP, the button immediately below that is GO 

DOWN, and the bottom button on the left side is GO TARGET.  These button operate in Deadman mode, just like 

the panel-mounted pushbuttons; the buttons must be pushed and held to initiat

the button will cause the move to stop. 

In systems where there are both a wall-mount and a pendant station, the pendant will take priority.  While the 

pendant is plugged in, the pushbuttons on the wall-mount station are disabled, and will not operate until the 

pendant is unplugged.  While the pendant is plugged in, its Emergency Stop button is part of the E-stop system; 

the pendant E-stop button must be released to allow motion of any axis.  When the pendant is unplugged,

stop circuit is automatically shunted past that receptacle, so that the rest of the system is operational. 

Pendant plugs have a red coding dot on them to indicate the proper orientation of the plug.  While facing the front 

of the receptacle station, hold the plug with the dot facing you, and insert the plug directly, without twisting.  To 

remove the plug from the receptacle, grasp the plug by the knurled ridges, and pull the plug straight out – 

rid
