FAQ – XSEL® – Position Gain

Q: When the XSEL® controller generates an error, can we reset the error externally to restore the system?

A: After removing the cause of the error, you can input an I/O error reset signal to reset the error, provided that it is a minor error (error of operation-cancellation level or lower: refer to the operation manual for details).

Error Reset Input – Change the value of I/O parameter No. 43 to “2″ and input a signal to I/O input port No. 13, and the error will be reset. (The signal will be recognized at its ON edge).

Major errors (errors of cold-start level or lower: refer to the operation manual for details) cannot be rest simply by the aforementioned method, bu you can use a software reset input to restart the controller.

Software reset input – Change the value of I/O parameter No. 31 to “1″ and turn ON the signal input to I/O input port No. 1 for at least 1 second, and the controller will restart.

Q: What is the “position gain” parameter provided by SEL controllers?

A: Increasing the value set in this parameter improved the actuator’s ability to follow position commands more closely. Take note, however, that increasing the parameter value excessively will result in abnormal noise or vibration. Contact IAI for details.
