AM6 (24 Step Sequencer)

Specifications:

 

Description:

This unit has 8 drive channels. You will need either an 'Animation Module Programmer' or and 'LCS' to optimize the module for your application.

Each of the 24 Steps is programmable for which drive is to be on and which drive is to be off. The duration of the step is programmable from 0-255 seconds. Programming in a time of 0 causes the program to return to step 1.

Application:

Use this module to activate motors or lights. This module is useful for acitivating town lights, traffic signals, etc.

 

 AM6 (24 Step Sequencer), Programming Steps

Notes:
1.Use the 'Step -/+ keys to select next or previous steps.
2.Use the Value -/+ keys to change the value of the selected step.
3. When presented with any 'bit' selection, use the Value -/+ keys to move the cursor left or right and use the 'Test' switch to toggle the bit on/off.
4. The following programming steps refer to an LCS (Layout Control System) or AMP (Animation Module Programmer) unit. Hit the 'Test/Setup' button to enter into programming mode. Then select the appropriate module using the Value -/+ keys to scroll through the selection menu. When the module is selected for programming, use the Step -/+ keys to step through the following programming steps.

1. Address

Select the address desired for the module (usually address 1). The default address of the 'AMP' is 1. If you have an 'LCS' then you will want to select the address of the location of the I/O board and switch input on the 'LCS'. On the 'AMP' you can change the address in standby by using the 'Value -/+' switches if you have programmed the module to other than address 1 and wish to control it using the 'AMP'.

2. Mode

Automatic: This selection enables the module to run at power-up (automatic). The control bits have no effect when Automatic mode is selected.
Manual: This selection requires that one of the programmed control bits be turned on to enable the module to run.

3. Control Bit

Select which bit (or bits) will enable the module when in manual mode. These bits correspond to the switches on the 'AMP' unit or to the address and corresponding switches on an 'LCS' unit. Any of the bits selected as the control bit will activate the module.
 

4. Step01, Drives On

Program in which drives (outputs) are to be on for this step. The display shows a binary representation of the drives to be selected. Toggle the bits to 1 or 0 to enable and disable the selected drives.

5. Step01, Drives On Time

Program in the amount of time that the drive should be on in seconds (0-255). Programming in a time of zero, causes the program to return to step 1.
 

The remaining steps repeat the programming for steps 2-24.

Note: If you want to have a pause between drives on, simply program the following step with no drives on and some amount of time.
