[. . . ] instruction manual AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers C a m e ra C o n t r o l l e r s AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer AMX Corporation warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three (3) years from the date of purchase from AMX Corporation, with the following exceptions: · · · · · Electroluminescent and LCD Control Panels are warranted for three (3) years, except for the display and touch overlay components that are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, MX Series products, and KC Series products are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Unless otherwise specified, OEM and custom products are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days. [. . . ] Tilt the unit as far down as desired and enter this position into the Axcess program as the lower tilt-limit stop. The DOWN limit stop MUST be set below the Home position. Tilt to both stop positions and ensure the tilt-limit stops are set correctly. If you have problems setting the range of motion on either PosiTrack units, you may be setting both limits on the same side of the Home position. You may need to set a new Home position before proceeding. See the Configuration Commands table on page 28 for details on the SET HOME command. 26 AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers Programming Programming The AXB-PT10, AXB-PT15, and AXB-PT30 control capabilities for camera functions include: · Pan · Tilt · Zoom (servomotor; positional) · Zoom (servomotor; speed) · Zoom (motor drive) · Focus (servomotor; positional) · Focus (servomotor; speed) · Focus (motor drive) · Iris (servomotor; positional) · Iris (servomotor; speed) · Iris (motor drive) The PosiTrack Controllers are controlled with device-specific channel settings and Axcess Send_Commands. You create the software programs with the Axcess programming software. Use the programming information in this section, with the Axcess Programming Guide to create a program to control the PosiTrack Camera Controllers. The program resides in the Axcess or NetLinx Central Controller. The commands for ZOOM, FOCUS, and IRIS output to servomotor or motor mode MUST be configured to match the switch settings. Configuration Commands The following table lists in detail the different variables used in the Configuration Commands. These variables consist of parameters which the commands must adhere to. Variables for the Configuration Commands Parameters Outputs Description 1--PAN 2--TILT 3--ZOOM 4--FOCUS 5--IRIS Level 0 (lowest) to 255 (highest) or 0% to 100% On pan, tilt, and PWM drives for zoom, focus, and iris, level 128 will be OFF. Level 129 and above are for the forward direction. Level 127 and below are for the reverse direction. Time (optional) Position If specified, 0 to 255 in tenths of a seconds; if not specified, at current rate. 0 is one end of the POT and 255 is the other end. Not directly related to an output level voltage. AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers 27 Programming Variables for the Configuration Commands (Cont. ) Parameters Speed Deviation Distance Ramp Time Description 0 to 127; where 0 is the slowest and 127 is the fastest (default). 0 to 127; where 0 is most accurate but can have some jitter. Default is 2, meaning the position can be within + 2 from the specified position. 0 to 127; distance from the specified position. 1 to 255; time in 10ms increments it takes the motor drives to ramp up to speed. All presets are cleared when any limits are set. Configuration commands configure the manner in which the PosiTrack operates. Configuration Commands ACCEL CONTROL=ON Enables acceleration control for pan/tilt (default). ACCEL CONTROL=OFF Disables acceleration control for pan/tilt. [. . . ] If power is lost between the erase of flash memory and the completion of copying the new boot code from RAM to flash memory, the unit will not operate at all when power returns. If you have not already installed the SOFTROM program, do so by following the steps contained on the AMX Control Disc. Configuration To configure the communication setting for the SOFTROM program: 1. Press F1, the Configuration screen appears. [. . . ]
