4.3.3 Driver Interface

Before you connect the driver interface to the sat-nms ACU19V2, take care the ACU19V2 is in STOP condition before connecting the drive cabinet.

  1. Click the STOP button on the sat-nms ACU19V2`s website. By this you can be shure that no motor movement will occur connecting the drive cabinet.
  2. Connect the motors to the sat-nms ACU19V2 as described in chapter 4.2.2 .
  3. Click the RESET button on the sat-nms ACU19V2`s website.
  4. Check the motor rotating directions, if necessary change it by interchanging the two wire of the motor cable.
  5. Drive the antenna in every direction (AZ, EL and POL) until the limit switches stop the motor movement to ensure that the limit switches work well. ATTENTION! While doing this test it is absolutely necessary to be very mindful to check, if nothing collides!
  6. Set the soft-limits to the desired values (e.g. 1 degree before the hardware limit switch is activated)
