Controller
Drive No. 1, 2, 3, and 4:
The eight buttons located by the respective labels of 1, 2, 3, and
4 are used to control the motor drives in both the positive and negative direction of the
respective axes plugged into the junction box. Multiple buttons on different axes may be
pressed at the same time, but two buttons on the same axis will not have any effect.
Slow/Med/Rapid:
This knob is used to change the speed of the motor drives. It has
three different speeds: slow, medium, and rapid. This feature sets the speed for all
axes. Individual axis speed settings are not available.
The MC1100e 4-axis controller has two preset speed settings: rapid (1.7 mm/sec) and
medium (300 µm/sec).
Slow Range:
The slow range knob is used during the slow speed of the Slow/Med/Rapid
knob. The Slow Range knob has a variable 330° potentiometer that enables settings
from high speed (50 µm/sec) to low speed (2 µm/sec). With the speed selector set at
the slowest settings, consistent 0.2 µm moves are made by a bump of the axis button.
This feature works for all axes.
Target Set:
This is the small red button that is located in the upper-middle of the
controller. This button only affects Drive No. 1.
When the user has found a reference position that they would like to automatically
return to, the user can push this button and the location will be saved. Pressing Drive
No. 2, 3, or 4 will change the target location. A green LED will become illuminated when
this button is pressed.
