Software
Control parameter
Function | Description |
---|---|
Peak current (Ip) | Peak power value in 50 mA steps from 200 mA to 1400 mA (default 1200 mA) |
Holding current (Ih) | Holding power value in 50 mA steps from 50 mA to 722 mA (default 274 mA) |
Release mode | Operating mode selection.
Software = Software control |
Peak time (tp) | Peak time in [μs]
Value between 100 and 4.000 |
Valve opening time (to) | Opening time in [μs] If Open-time < peak-time, the peak time is cutted down, ie Peak time = Open time. |
Cycle time (T) | Cycle time in [μs] If cycle-time < open-time, the value is automatically adjusted. Cycle-time=open-time + 100 μs |
Frequency (Hz) | Frequency of dosing interval. Calculated according to valve opening time (to) and cycle time (T) |
Actions
Function | Description |
---|---|
On | Opens the valve |
One shot | One shot with duration of valve opening time (to) |
Shot series | Number of shot series using control parameters |
Endless shot series | Endless shots using control parameters |
