mechanical stops for normal slide travel. These soft-
ware limits purpose is to prevent the slide from actu-
ally hitting the mechanical stops which could result 
in a number of undesirable consequences. By default, 
the software limits are set to 150mV from either end 
point. The position percentage is calculated from the 
software limits. Therefore, it is possible to read a val-
ue greater than 100% or less than 0% if inertial carries 
the slides after these limits are reached.
Volume Slide Valve Potentiometer
•  This section provided critical information and con-
trol parameters related to the volume slide actuator. 
The “% Vol” display shows the actual value in percent 
of the volume slide with out any conditioning that 
might be applied to the other volume position dis-
plays. In addition, this section displays the value of 
the actuator signals in millivolts in the “input Value” 
display box.
“-” Button:
•  When the operator presses and holds this button, 
the output associated with volume slide decreases 
is energized. If the actuator does not turn in the cor-
rect direction when this button is pressed, then the 
operator will have to alter how the actuator is wired 
to the panel.
“+” Button:
•  When the operator presses and holds this button, 
the output associated with volume slide increase is 
energized. If the actuator does not turn in the cor-
rect direction when this button is pressed, then the 
operator will have to alter how the actuator is wired 
to the panel.
Software limit setpoint:
•  The Vission 20/20 uses the “Min Limit” and “Max 
Limit” setpoint to defi ne an area within the mechani-
cal stops for normal slide travel. These software limits 
purpose is to prevent the slide from actually hitting 
the mechanical stops which could result in a number 
of undesirable consequences. By default, the soft-
ware limits are set to 150mV from either end point. 
The position percentage is calculated from the soft-
ware limits. Therefore It is possible to read a value 
greater than 100% or less than 0% if inertial carries 
the slides after these limits are reached.
Slide Valve Operation
The slide valve actuator is a gear-motor with a position 
sensor. The motor is powered in the forward and reverse 
directions from the main computer in the control panel. 
The position sensor tells the main computer the position 
of the slide valve. The main computer uses the position 
and process information to decide where to move the 
slide valve next.
During calibration, the position sensor records the high 
and low count of motor turns. The operator tells the 
position sensor when the actuator is at the high or low 
position with the push button. Refer to the calibration 
instructions for the detailed calibration procedure.
The position sensor can get “lost” if the motor is moved 
while the position sensor is not powered. To prevent 
this, the motor can only be moved electrically while 
the position sensor is powered. When the position sen-
sor loses power, power is cut to the motor. A capaci-
tor stores enough energy to keep the position sensor 
circuitry alive long enough for the motor to come to a 
complete stop and then save the motor position to non-
volatile EEPROM memory. When power is restored, the 
saved motor position is read from EEPROM memory and 
the actuators resumes normal function This scheme is 
not foolproof. If the motor is moved manually while the 
power is off or the motor brake has failed, allowing the 
motor to free wheel for too long after the position sen-
sor looses power, the actuator will loose its calibrated 
position.
A brake failure can sometimes be detected by the po-
sition sensor. If the motor never stops turning after a 
power loss, the position sensor detects this, knows it will 
be lost, and goes immediately into calibrate mode when 
power is restored.
Slide Valve Actuator Calibration for Optical 
Style Motors
Assuming that the actuator motors have not been cali-
brated, the transmitter output of the actuator motor 
will fl uctuate wildly until they are calibrated. To prevent 
damage to actuator motors, do not connect the Power 
Cable (Yellow TURCK cable) or the Position Transmitter 
Cable (Gray TURCK cable) until instructed to do so in this 
procedure.
1. Open the plastic cover of the capacity motor by re-
moving the four #10 Pan Head Phillips screws. Gently lift 
the cover and tilt it toward the TURCK connectors. Raise 
the cover enough to be able to press the blue calibrate 
button and to be able to see the red LED on the top of 
the assembly, see Figure 14-2. Photochopper.
2. Remove actuator motor cover(s).
3. Log In on the Vission 20/20.
