    (set by SoftTime). During this time, the soft start LED will blink. The S4 then switches into the automatic mode, the soft start LE turns off and the auto LED turns on. After the machine has run for approximately 2 seconds the S4 begins to put in memory the output going to brake.

    Proportional, Integral, Derivative, Reset, and Error Limit. The adjustment of many of these parameters has a direct result on the setting of the others and is therefore interactive. The S4, because it is microprocessor based, has been programmed with 64 different combinations of all of the tuning parameters. These combinations, from “very stable”...
  • Page 14: Standard Rewind Features

    For our purposes, a rewind is defi ned as a “shaft that is being driven by a separate motor than the main drive of the machine for the purpose of winding up material”. The S4 must be controlling the torque developed by this shaft either through an electric or pneumatic clutch that is being driven by an AC motor, or by controlling a torque mode DC drive.
