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


*Bell Number (1 is the largest bell)
;Bell Number  
*Swing Angle (intended angle)
: 1 is the largest bell
*Transmission (rotary code wheel to angle ratio - always 5.0 for proximity sensors)
 
*%Start (portion of swing angle for starting pulses)
;Dimensions
*%Brake (portion of swing angle of braking pulses)
: Air gap between motor and reactor plate (typically 1/4 to 3/8 inch)
*1Oscillation (period in milliseconds for one complete swing cycle at 20 degrees of amplitude for proximity sensor calibration)
: Center of bearing spindle to center of motor
*Pos Option - not used
 
*PowerStaSwi (power reduction using soft-start current limiting 1-8, 9=full inrush current)
;Swing Angle
*Power Brake 1 (> 20 deg, first brake current limit 1-8)
: Intended swinging amplitude angle in degrees
*Power Brake 2 (<20 deg, second brake current limit 1-8)
;Transmission  
*StartImp (maximum number of impulses allowed before home sensor provides motion feedback)
: Rotary code wheel to angle ratio
*XtrBrakeImp (extra brake impulses after home sensor no longer provides motion feedback)
: ''always set to 5.0'' for proximity sensors
*MaxAmpl (maximum angle before error and shutdown)
;%Start
*P-Regulator (Proportional regulation factor)
: Percentage of swing angle for starting pulses
*I-Regulator (Integration regulation factor - will be zero when parameters are calculated and saved)
;%Brake
*Pos-Impulse (Position of the motor impulse in the sweep of the bell; 0=home 100=turnaround): Always 0 for MagForce
: Percentage of swing angle for braking pulses
*Assymmetric (Proportion of motor pulse for forward/backward balance; 50 = equal, 100 or 0 = unidirectional drive)
;1Oscillation
: Period in milliseconds for one complete swing cycle at 20 degrees of amplitude for proximity sensor calibration
: Reset value is 900, may be less for very small bells, usually higher for most bells
;Pos Option - not used
;PowerStaSwi
: Power reduction using soft-start current limiting 1-8
: 9=full inrush current which may trip circuit breaker
;Power Brake 1
: First brake at amplitudes > 20 degrees current limit 1-8
;Power Brake 2
: Secondary braking at amplitudes < 20 degrees current limit 1-8
;StartImp
: Maximum number of impulses allowed before home sensor begins to provide motion feedback
: If no feedback is received after this number of tries, the system will go into safety shutdown
;XtrBrakeImp
: Extra brake impulses after home sensor no longer provides motion feedback
: ''Should be 0'' as blind braking is not advised
;MaxAmpl
: Maximum swinging angle before safety shutdown
: ''Set to 90'' if no obstacles are in the way of the bell swinging high
;P-Regulator
: Proportional regulation factor
;I-Regulator
: Integration regulation factor
: Zero on the terminal when parameters have been successfully calculated and saved
;Pos-Impulse
: Position of the motor impulse in the sweep of the bell
: 0 = home, 100 = turnaround
: ''Always set to 0 for MagForce''
;Assymmetric
: Proportion of motor pulse for forward/backward balance
: 50 = equal pulses, 100 or 0 = unidirectional drive forward or back
