To Program the +/- Speeds

1. [Complete settings] [Command and Reference]
2. Set [Freq Switch Assign] rFC to [Ref Freq Channel 2] FR2
3. Set [Ref Freq Channel 2] FR2 to [Ref Frequency via DI] UPdt
4. Go to [Complete settings] [Generic functions] [+/- speed]
5. Assign [+ Speed Assign] USP
6. Assign [- Speed Assign] dSP
7. Assign [Ref Frequency Save] Str
   
   To adjust the increment of plus and minus speed, adjust the ACC and DEC. If ACC is set to 6 seconds, it will ramp 10 Hz for every second that the +speed is active (60Hz range / 6sec = 10Hz/sec).  Keep it active for 6 seconds and output will reach 60 Hz. To make +speed increase at a slower rate, increase ACC.  To make it faster, decrease ACC.  The same logic applies to -speed and DEC.

The driver for this cable is now included in the core SoMove software. And it's important that your PC uses this driver as opposed to a driver that Windows would install automatically.

The CONF_LOCKED status (set to 1) usually means the button on top of the card has been pressed. In this status, the configuration of the card cannot be changed.


To unlock the card, the button has to be pressed again for more than 3 seconds.

The functionality to allow setup of devices on different subnets to the NOC0301/11 was only developed for ModbusTCP.

For Ethernet/IP IO scanning, the devices have to be on the same subnet as the NOC or an error will be displayed.

Acronym meaning

Product Line:
Metering Equipment

Resolution:
EUSERC is an acronym for electric utility service equipment requirements committee. Formed in 1983, the purpose of the organization is to promote uniform electric service requirements among the member utilities, publish existing utility service requirements for electric service equipment, and provide direction for development of future metering technology. There are approximately 80 utilities involved in EUSERC from 12 states. Not all EUSERC member utilities accept all metering devices that meet EUSERC specifications. So, although a device may meet EUSERC specifications, it may not be accepted for use by a specific utility company. Always check with the utility company for approval before using any metering device.
