[. . . ] Confirm that the necessary programming has been done to the system before beginning the installation process. Pan the unit as far to the left as desired and enter this position into the Axcess program as the left pan-limit stop. Pan the unit as far to the right as desired and enter this position into the Axcess program as the right pan-limit stop. Pan to both programmed stop positions and ensure the pan-limit stops are set correctly. AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers 25 Installation Tilt Characteristics The tilt drive is factory set to a maximum tilt range of ± 90° (for a total of 180°). Tilt limit stops refer to the vertical range of motion available to the PosiTrack unit and are set via the Axcess program. Setting the adjustable tilt-limit stops The Central Controller should be programmed before beginning. Refer to the Specifications section on page 2 for more information on programming devices. Ensure that there is enough slack in the lens, camera, and PosiTrack controller AXlink cables to accommodate the full range of tilt motion. Tilt the unit as far up as desired and enter this position into the Axcess program as the upper tilt-limit stop. Tilt the unit as far down as desired and enter this position into the Axcess program as the lower tilt-limit stop. 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. 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. Time (optional) Position If specified, 0 to 255 in tenths of a seconds; if not specified, at current rate. 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). Default is 2, meaning the position can be within + 2 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. [. . . ] Once a directory containing one or more . TSK files is specified, a list of available . TSK files is displayed in the upper table in this dialog. Select the target AXlink device from the list of online devices in the lower-left table. Click Download to open the Confirm Communication Settings dialog, where you can review and confirm your Comm Settings and Target Device information before the download begins. Click Cancel to return to the Select Axcess Firmware File dialog, to edit these settings (if necessary).
