The [http://www.chimemaster.com/swinging-motors Chime Master intelliSwing™ Precision] bell ringing system consists of a rotary or linear swinging motor with an optical rotation encoder and a wall-mounted motor power control unit. This mathematically brilliant motor controller experiments and quickly learns the unique physical properties of your bell then carefully manages the energy required for perfect ringing and never overshoots the desired swinging angle.

Three phase and single phase bi-directional motors are available with this system. Very large bells are supported with the use of dual motors.

=== Sensor feedback ===

The sensor is mounted on the side of ~~the~~ rotary ~~motor~~ opposite the drive spindle. Four conductor cable connects the sensor board to the motor control panel. The four terminals are labeled:

The sensor is mounted on the side of rotary motors opposite the drive spindle. In the case of MagForce linear motors, the sensor is provided in a separate box and is linked to the yoke spindle of the bell.

Four conductor cable connects the sensor board to the motor control panel. The four terminals are labeled:

:- (negative 12V)

:+ (positive 12V)

Line 15:

Line 17:

If the panel drives up to four motors, the bell number is on the terminal label too.

==== MagForce sensors ====

These rotary sensors are very fragile. Take care when mounting the sensor to the bell frame.

An active logic junction box is located near the sensor box providing connections to the cable that provides low voltage feedback to the controller.

=== Three phase power to motor ===

Line 22:

Line 29:

:W - always fed from L3 power

Three phase motor terminals will have corresponding W, U and V terminals.

Three phase rotary motor terminals will have corresponding W, U and V terminals. Use the supplied shorting plates to wire the motor in the DELTA configuration.

The six power leads from linear motors are made up in a junction box next to the motor to the three leads feeding from the three output terminals.

:U - connect to linear motor leads 1 and 6

:V - connect to linear motor leads 2 and 3

:W - connect to linear motor leads 4 and 5

=== Single phase power to motor ===

==== Modular triac board ====

Triac relay board POWER INPUT wiring:

:L1 - from L1 output of the power contactor

:L2 - NO Connection!

:L3 - from L2 output of the power contactor

The motor output terminals are labeled, '''U''','''V''' and '''W''' (top to bottom).

:U - switched between L1 and OFF to forward ~~direction~~

:U - switched between L1 and OFF for forward rotation

:V - switched between OFF and L1 to reverse direction

:W - always fed from L2 power (through L3 terminal of triac board)

==== Motor with internal capacitor ====

If the capacitor is on the motor it will be between terminals 1 and 2.

:U - connect to motor terminal 1

:V - connect to motor terminal 2

:W - must be connected to motor terminal 3

==== Motor without built-in capacitor ====

We mount capacitors in the panel for [[MagForce_motor_system_installation#Motor_outputs|'''MagForce''' linear motors]]. Connect the capacitor(s) to terminals U and V (not polarized).

We mount capacitors in the motor control panel for [[MagForce_motor_system_installation#Motor_outputs|'''MagForce''' linear motors]]. Connect the capacitor(s) to terminals U and V (not polarized). The six power leads from the motor are made up in a junction box next to the motor to the three leads feeding from the three output terminals.

:U - connect to linear motor leads 1 and 6 (capacitor for single phase)

:V - connect to linear motor leads 2 and 3 (capacitor for single phase)

Line 51:

Line 69:

Either a slotted code wheel with sensors are mounted to the motor or a rotary sensor assembly is coupled to the swinging bell axle for this system to accurately measure the swinging angle and direction.

The label on the motor control computer PCB should read 'SENSOR.' For motors without a code wheel and sensor, a proximity switch is used for motion feedback. In that case, verify that the CPU chip on the intelliSwing Precision motion controller has a label that reads 'PERIOD' and use the [[MagForce_motor_system_installation#~~Programming_Procedure~~|MagForce programming procedure]].

In that case, verify that the CPU chip on the intelliSwing Precision motion controller has a label that reads 'PERIOD' and use the [[MagForce_motor_system_installation#Programming_Procedure_%28PERIOD_proximity%29|MagForce PERIOD programming procedure]].

For each bell we need to calculate the value for Transmission. Take the diameter in inches of the wheel (on the rim where the chain runs) ''multiplied by'' 6.28 (π ''divided'' by the chain pitch, generally 1/2 inch) and ''divide'' the result by the number of teeth on the cog.

Line 72:

Line 90:

Connect the programming terminal and turn on panel power. The right cursor button will take you through the settings for each bell in the system. From the status window, shown below, you can cursor left to select another bell. To change settings you can increment/decrement using the up and down arrow buttons, or input the value with the numeric buttons and save it with the EXE button.

==== Display ====

The two line programming status screen should look like this (first and fourth lines are our labels):

After changing parameters, try always to return to the status screen when running the bell. The two line programming status screen should look like this (first and fourth lines are our labels):

Swing Angle Motor Pulse Time Tempo

Line 82:

Line 100:

When the bell is swinging, the display will indicate the current Swing Angle to the nearest tenth of a degree, the Motor Pulse time in milliseconds, the Tempo in beats per minute, the motor RPM (for rotary) and "*" will blink when feedback from the sensor occurs. The Ideal Pulse is the time in milliseconds that will maintain the desired swinging angle. Status will be ''Start, Stop, Restart, StartP, Calc-P'' or ''Calc-Imp,'' indicating the swinging/calculation mode.

=== ~~Initialize~~ ===

==== Keypad ====

* Use the left and right cursor buttons to move through the setting screens.

* Use the numeric buttons to enter parameter values, then press EXE to save them

* Use up and down cursor buttons to make small changes to the displayed value

** Cursor up will change the Polarity parameter to Negative

** Cursor down will change the Polarity parameter to Positive

* The ON button starts and stops the motor, and clears errors

~~To reset all settings to default, go left to the Language selection screen and press the '''DEL''' button.~~

=== First! ===

Check operation of the sensor. Move the bell by hand and you should hear the phase reversing relay click when the bell reverses direction when the '''D''' light on the relay board goes on and off.

Check operation of the sensor. Move the bell by hand and you should hear the phase reversing relay click when the bell reverses direction.

=== Set Swing Angle and other initial parameters ===

Line 174:

Line 197:

=== Final Settings ===

Make a record of the following settings for future reference when setup is complete:

[[Media:IntelliSwing-Setup-Table.pdf|Make a record]] of the following settings for future reference when setup is complete:

*Bell Number (1 is the largest bell)

*Tempo (speed of ringing in beats per minute)

** read this from the top right of the status screen while the bell is in the Swing mode

*Swing Angle (intended angle)

*Transmission (rotary cog to wheel ratio)

*%Start (~~portion of swing angle for~~ starting ~~pulses~~)

** 22.8 for linear MagForce motors

*%Brake (portion of swing angle of braking ~~pulses~~)

*%Start (starting pulse maximum length before sensor is detected)

*Polarity (~~correspondence of motor and sensor wiring~~ direction +/-)

*%Brake (portion of swing angle for braking action when turning off the bell)

*Polarity (initial direction +/- effectively reverses motor leads U and V)

*Brake Angle (angle where brake switches from Power Brake 1 to 2)

*PowerStaSwi (power reduction ~~using~~ soft-start ~~current limiting~~ 1-~~8, 9=full current)~~

*PowerStaSwi (power reduction for over-powered motors)

** 9 - No soft start - full power - mechanical shocks may damage motor mounts

** 8 - (default) Soft start - full power

** 1 to 7 - Soft start - reduced power

*Power Brake 1 (first brake current limit)

*Power Brake 2 (second brake current limit)

*MaxAmpl (maximum angle before error and shutdown)

*P-Regulator - Proportional regulation factor (amount added/subtracted to pulse to compensate for under/overshoot)

** Ideal values are close to 50 for a well matched motor. If they are much lower, try reducing the PowerStaSwi setting.

*I-Regulator - Ideal pulse - (Will be 0 after automatic calculations. Manually set this to zero after manual experimentation, but make a record of what was set)

** read calculated I from the bottom center of the status screen

*Pos-Impulse (Position of the motor impulse in the sweep of the bell; 0=home 100=turnaround)

** must be 0 for linear MagForce motors

*Assymmetric (Proportion of motor pulse for forward/backward balance; 50 = equal, 100 or 0 = unidirectional drive)

== After setup complete ==

Disconnect the programming terminal. The front panel switches and the Chime Master relays will not activate the motors while the programming terminal is connected.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Clear all programs ===

To restore the panel to the factory default settings (all bells),

* Power on the panel with the programmer plugged in

* Click the left button until you reach the Language select screen

* Press the DEL button. The display will say STOP.

~~Disconnect~~ the ~~programming terminal~~. ~~The front panel switches and the Chime Master relays~~ will not activate the ~~motors~~ while the ~~programming~~ terminal is ~~connected~~.

=== Errors ===

When the system is displaying an error, it will not show sensor feedback when you move the bell by hand. It will not activate the braking action if the bell is swinging.

* To clear the error, Press the ON button so that the display reads STOP

==== ErrBlo ====

If the screen shows 'ErrBlo' on the lower right of the screen, the system thinks the bell is not moving as expected. This can be caused by:

* Loose connections to the motor or the sensor

* Motor is mis-wired

* Sensor is mis-wired

* Motor is undersized or mounted in a way that prevents it from generating enough torque.

==== ErrAmp ====

If the screen shows 'ErrAmp' on the lower right of the screen, the system detected that the bell went higher than the selected MaxAmpli setting. Every time you modify the Swinging Angle setting, the system will add five degrees to that setting for MaxAmpli. To avoid errors while setting up the system, set MaxAmpli to 90 degrees, or a safe angle in case of overshoot.

=== Sensor Test ===

While the screen shows 'STOP' you can move the bell by hand. The D light on the motor output board should blink to indicate the direction the bell is swinging. The top left number on the terminal display should show the angle the system thinks the bell is swinging. If you do not get these indications, check the sensor wiring.
