Measuring the Motion Signals

Motion can be measure in three alternative ways:

  1. As digital signals: backward, forward, fork up, fork down

  2. As analog signals from the joystick control, where the current is used as a signal to define the motion. For example, 5V indicates that the fork lift is standing still, current exceeding 5,3V indicates that the fork lift is moving forward and current subceeding 4,7V indicates that the fork lift is moving backward. The centre and motion tresholds are configurable.

  3. If the direction is not of interest, the forward signal can be attached to the drive motor and the up signal to the pump motor.

Note

If the signal is read from controller signals, it is important to ensure that the measurement is not affecting signals. As the measurement default in Orca is low impedance, this can happen especially in the second alternative above. For high impedance measurement solutions, please contact Oliotalo Oy.
