*4. ADV stands for Advance Angle Compensation.

Functions

Item	H8PS-8[]	H8PS-16[]
Encoder rotation direction switching	Encoder data can be set with a DIP switch to forward (CW) or reverse (CCW) direction.
Encoder origin designation	The present display angular position can be set to 0° (origin) by pressing the ORIGIN Key on the front panel.	The present display angular position can be set to 0° (origin) by using the origin input terminal or the ORIGIN Key on the front panel. Note: All banks use the same origin.
Angle display switch	Converts the Absolute Encoder value display from 256 divisions/revolution to 360°/ revolution.
Rotation display monitor	Graphically displays the Encoder rotational angular position.
Teaching function	Sets the cam output ON/OFF angle based on actual machine (Encoder) operation.
Pulse output	Outputs a preset number of pulses per Encoder rotation. It also sets the pulse output start angle.
Switching the angle and speed displays	Displays both the present angular position and the number of Encoder revolutions (speed) in Run Mode. Switches back and forth between the main display showing the present angular position with the sub-display showing the speed and the main display showing the speed with the sub-display showing the present angular position.
Bank function	---	Enables the entire cam program to be changed at one time by switching banks (0 to 7). The bank that is running can be switched using the bank input terminal or the BANK Key on the front panel. Also enables programs to be copied between banks.
Advance angle compensation (ADV) function	Automatically advances the ON/OFF angle of cam outputs in proportion to machine (encoder) speed to compensate for the delay in timing of ON/OFF operation. ADV values can be set individually for 7 cam outputs.
Speed alarm output	A specified cam output can be used as an Encoder speed alarm output. The function can output upper and lower limit speed alarms.
All protection function	Disables all key and switch operations in Run Mode to prevent incorrect or unauthorized operation.
Cam protection function	Prohibits program changes at the cam output level. Any cam numbers can be protected.
Step number limit	Limits the number of steps that can be set per cam output. Prohibits incorrect operations by adding to the program.
Output prohibit	---	The start input can be turned OFF in Run or Test Mode to prohibit cam output. Note: Use this function carefully for the application because no cam outputs are provided when the start input is turned OFF.
Support Software settings	---	Programs can be uploaded or downloaded easily by connecting a personal computer to the Cam Positioner using a USB Cable (Recommended USB Cables: ELECOM CO.Ltd. U2C-MF20BK) and the Support Software (H8PS-SOFT-V1, sold separately).
