PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
106
fPRM:2 – Lift Mode Reverse/Upper Limit
Variable Units: Inches
Description: This parameter sets the upper travel limit for the hoist when it is in Lift Mode.
This is used to restrict the Lift Mode travel to a position greater than or equal to the overall upper limit set in
fPRM:0 ‘Overall Reverse/Upper Limit’.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Lift Travel Limits \ Row 1.
fPRM:3 – Lift Mode Forward/Lower Limit
Variable Units: Inches
Description: This parameter sets the lower travel limit for the hoist when it is in Lift Mode.
This is used to restrict the Lift Mode travel to a position less than or equal to the overall lower limit set in
fPRM:1 ‘Overall Forward/Lower Limit’.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Lift Travel Limits \ Row 2.
fPRM:4 – Float Mode Reverse/Upper Limit
Variable Units: Inches
Description: This parameter sets the upper travel limit for the hoist when it is in Float Mode. This is used to
restrict the Float Mode travel to a position greater than or equal to the overall upper limit set in
fPRM:0 ‘Overall Reverse/Upper Limit’. It is recommended that this value be set to a value greater than zero
after it is installed. Usually this should be set to a value so the handle cannot inadvertently Float up above
the operator’s reach.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Float Travel Limits \ Row 1.
fPRM:5 – Float Mode Forward/Lower Limit
Variable Units: Inches
Description: This parameter sets the lower travel limit for the hoist when it is in Float Mode. This is used to
restrict the Float Mode travel to a position less than or equal to the overall lower limit set in
fPRM:1 ‘Overall Forward/Lower Limit’.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Float Travel Limits \ Row 2.
fPRM:6 through
fPRM:7 – Spare
fPRM:8 – Max Allowed Weight
Variable Units: Pounds
Description: This sets the maximum total static load that the servo hoist is allowed to lift. This includes the
weight of the fixture and the part. This cannot be set greater than the rated capacity of the hoist.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Physical Weight Limits \ Row 1.
fPRM:9 – Minimum Weight
Variable Units: Pounds
Description: This parameter limits the weight that the servo hoist will set down on a surface. In other words,
if the amount of part weight supported by the hoist measures below this value, the servo hoist will not set
down any more weight and hence will not pay out any more chain.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Physical Weight Limits \ Row 1.
fPRM:10 – Fixture Weight
Variable Units: Pounds
Description: This parameter is used to set the static weight of all equipment hanging below the hoist’s
inline handle. This equipment includes the hook, shackle and fixture.
Note: This parameter must be adjusted if the fixture is modified or replaced.
KSS Workspace tree location: Knight WO# \ Hoist Configuration \ Fixture Weight \ Row 2.
fPRM11 – AD LF Constant
Variable Units: Real Number
Description: This parameter is used in conjunction with fPRM:12 ‘AD LF Gain’ to reduce low frequency
vibrations occurring at the suspended load.
