Retract Mode
With the retract mode, you specify at which operating mode changes the sensor positioner sensor slides should run to their park position (outer end position). The following retract modes can be selected:
Retract Mode | Sensor Slide Behaviour |
|---|---|
Center positioning | Upon switching to the Center positioning operating mode, the sensor slides run to the park position. |
Manual mode | Upon switching to the Manual mode operating mode, the sensor slides run to the park position. |
You can activate one of the two retract modes or both retract modes.
For activating the retract mode see installation and commissioning manual ekr 500 digital Unit Touch, document number MD.497.
If the sensor positioner is used in combination with a line and contrast sensor (Sensor 3), the sensor slides automatically run to their park position if the guiding mode is switched to line/contrast guiding. The requirement for the retracting of the sensor slides is, however, that the line or contrast transition which is being used for guiding lies within the measuring range of Sensor 3.
