GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The VISAX A is an instrument designed to offer the user a reliable and

economical device for displaying the position of an axis using an incremental
encoder.

The display is six figures plus the sign. If the count exceeds the
maximum range, the figures flash on and off. The display automatically
suppresses non-significant zeros, that is, those that precede the most
significant figure. The count and parameters are stored in EEPROM memory,
thus guaranteeing maximum reliability in memorization. Access to the
instrument parameters is protected by a code, thus ensuring the reliability of
the data entered.

PANEL DESCRIPTION

• KEYENTER:
Confirms the input of data and the input of the current height.

• KEYCLEAR:
Depending on the value of parameter 3, it resets the value of the
counter or makes the counter work relative.

• KEY:̂
Increases the value of the selected number (which is the one that is
turns on and off). Pressing it simultaneously with the > key
allows access to the parameters menu.

• KEY>:
Moves the number selection to the right. pressing it
simultaneously with the key allows access to the parameters
menu.

• ledsSET:
It lights up during the introduction of the current position.

• ledsPROG:
Lights up during PRESET record entry.

• ledsRELATED:
It lights up when the counter works in RELATIVE mode.

INTRODUCTION OF PARAMETERS

Access to the parameters is protected by a three-way code.

figures.
To access its programming, it is necessary to perform the following
Steps:

1. Simultaneously press the keys > and for two seconds. LED lights upPROG.

2. The display shows - ____000 as the access code question.

3. Using the keys > and enter the value 456. Confirm it with ENTER.

The displayed parameter is identified by the first three digits on the left,
which indicate the code of the selected parameter.
In cases where it is necessary to have six digits (ENCODER RELATION),
the code is identified by the first digit.

BTB, Industrial Electronic Engineering, SL VISAX A

In the case in which the seven digits are necessary (PRESET

REGISTRATION), the code is replaced by the illumination of the led ofPRESET.
The parameter value is entered by positioning on the number to vary
(which is the one that turns on and off) using the key
> and changing the data using the key .̂
Once the desired value has been entered, there must be a confirmation
of this by means of the keyENTER.Simultaneously the next parameter appears.

At the end of the introduction of all the parameters (it is enough to confirm
them if you do not want to change them), the device automatically returns to the
position display and the led goes offPROG.
The keyCLEAR, allows you to zero the current parameter to facilitate
entering the desired parameter.

PARAMETERS

Parameter 01. Display mode.

• Code 01___0:
Count without sign. The first value after zero, going backwards,
is 999999.
• Code 01___1:
Count with sign. The first value after zero, going up
negative, it is -1.

Parameter 02. Key functionENTER.

• Code 02___0:
The keyENTERis inhibited.
• Code 02___1:
pressing the keyENTER, the axis coordinate can be entered using the
keyboard. This is indicated by the lighting of the ledSET.The introduction
is made through the keys > (movement of the cursor) and
(increase of the selected figure). When finished, pressENTERto confirm
the height. In the RELATIVE work mode, the entered coordinate is added to
the current coordinate.

Parameter 03. Key functionCLEAR.

• Code 03___0:
The keyCLEARis disabled.

• Code 03___1:

The keyCLEARenables counting in RELATIVE and, when pressed again,

toggle to ABSOLUTE. The working mode in RELATIVE is indicated by
the activation of the ledRELAT.
• Code 03___2:
The keyCLEARresets the absolute counter.

Parameter 04. Position of the Comma.

• Code 04___0:
The display is performed without a decimal point.
• Code 04___1:
The display is done with one decimal place.
• Code 04___2:
Ditto with two decimal places.
• Code 04___3:
Ditto with three decimal places.
• Code 04___4:
Ditto with four decimal places.

Parameter 5. Function of inputPRESET.

• Code 05___0:
Entry disabled.
• Code 05___1:
the record ofPRESETit is loaded as count value of the counter.
• Code 05___2:
the record ofPRESETis continuously charged on the counter while
this input is enabled.
• Code 05___3:
the record ofPRESETis charged in the counter during the step of
the entrance ofPRESETfrom OFF to ON. For a subsequent charge,
there will again have to be a transition from OFF to ON. This function
is carried out only if, simultaneously, the input of RESET.

• Code 05___4:
The counting is inhibited as long as the input ofPRESETEast
activated.

Parameter 1. Encoder Ratio.

• Code 1___:
Represents the relationship between the actual displacement and the corresponding
number of impulses delivered by the encoder multiplied by 4. It
consists of six figures, five of which are decimals.

• Example:
Comma position = 1 (one digit after the comma =
display in tenths of mm.)
Actual displacement (each turn of encoder) = 100.0 mm.
(measured or calculated) = 1000 tenths of a mm. (The calculation
is done in tenths of mm, because the position of the comma is 1).

Impulses delivered by the encoder 0 2350.

Space/pulse ratio 0 1000/(2350 x 4) 0 1000/9400 0
0.1063.
Therefore, 010630 must be entered.

Parameter __. Register ofPRESET.

• Code - ___ -:
Allows you to give a value to the registerPRESET. It is a six digit number
with sign.
The first figure on the left represents the sign and consequently,
the values + or - will be displayed.
Since for the entry of the record all the
digits on the display, the function number is not displayed; instead
the led lights upPRESET.

TICKETS

entrance ofRESET:

The reset input allows the counter to be instantly reset to

zero, except when the PRESET INPUT parameter (code 5)
has the value 3, in which case it constitutes the enable for
the preset input.

entrance ofPRESET:

The operating mode of the preset input is determined by

the value entered in the PRESET INPUT parameter.
