Setting the Motor Rotation Direction

When commissioning, you have to check the assignment of the arrow keys to the positioning direction (motor rotation direction) of the actuator.

The definition of the sensors (Sensor 1, Sensor 2, Sensor 3) is described in chapter Designation of the Sensors.

Checking the motor rotation direction

WARNING
Danger of death from actuator movements!

During function tests, parts of your body may be crushed, cut or hit.

  • ▶Make sure that no persons remain in the vicinity of the pivot / traversing area of machine components that are positioned by the actuator.
  1. Press the Manual mode key.
  • The LED of the key will illuminate.
  • The controller switches to manual mode.

  1. Press the left arrow key and observe the guiding device.
  • The guiding device must move in the direction of Sensor 1.

  1. Press the right arrow key and observe the guiding device.
  • The guiding device must move in the direction of Sensor 2.
  • If only one CLS Pro 600 line and contrast sensor (Sensor 3) is connected to the controller then the guiding device must move in the direction of the cable connection on the line and contrast sensor.

If the guiding device moves in the opposite direction then you have to reverse the motor rotation direction.

Reversing the motor rotation direction

The procedure depends on the type of actuator connected.
