The configuration of each solenoid valve controlled actuator is contained on this screen. Changing the configuration of a valve can greatly affect how the machine functions. For instance, a solenoid valve controlling vacuum must have the configuration data of a vacuum valve. A vacuum controlling solenoid valve must also have the A Sensor activated because a vacuum sensor is connected to this input. Thus, the “A” Time is the time allowed for a vacuum to be made. If a cylinder is slowed via the flow controls and the cylinder does not make the cylinder switch in the time displayed in ‘sensor time’, then the cylinder will give a “Jam” fault. If it is desired to slow a cylinder, make sure that the time for that direction is raised to accommodate the slower action time.

The solenoid valve parameters that can be specified for a specific solenoid valve are Configuration, "A" Time, "B" Time, "DeBounce" Time, "Jam" Time, "A" Sensor, and "B" Sensor. Click on a field for more information
