Feed to Sensor will ask for many of
the same parameters as the other feed programs: Speed, accel, decel and
direction. You also need to specify a distance. That's because the
PSMCC1 must have enough space to decelerate to a stop once the sensor is
tripped. The higher the speed, the longer it will take to stop. If the
decel rate is increased, then the motor can stop in fewer steps. The
"Minimum Distance" box tells you how many steps you must
allow, based on the speed and decel rate that you've set. You can't set
the distance to less than this minimum.

If you are concerned about your load
never reaching the sensor (for example, if your sensor may fail or the
load might jam up), check the box marked "If distance exceeds safety
limit...". You can then enter a safe distance and specify a line
number to which the program will branch if it can't find the sensor. |
