1 GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTE: The information in this document supplements or supersedes that which is listed in the
Polaris DP-20 Web Guide Controller User Manual, Figure Sheet 1-862.
Explaination of Additional Features
GUIDE POSITION FEEDBACK
The guide position feedback is provided by the customer supplied 10K potentiometer (with a
1.91K resistor in series). This potentiometer also provides feedback for the Servo Center
feature of the Polaris DP-20.
HARDLOCK
The purpose of the Hardlock feature is to maintain the guide position in Manual mode. Hardlock
is active while in the Setup Menus if the Setup Menus were entered while in Manual mode.
Hardlock is disabled during Auto Setup. Hardlock uses the same guide position feedback as
Servo Center. Therefore, the Servo Center Calibration must be performed and Servo Center
Polarity must be set before Hardlock can be used. The Servo Center Gain is set to 25% at the
factory. If it is desired to change this gain setting, refer to the procedure “3X.1.6 Servo-Center
Gain” in the Polaris DP-20 Web Guide Controller User Manual.
STROKE LIMITS
The purpose of Stroke Limits is to restrict the movement of the guide to within two limits, which
are programmed using the Set Stroke Limits procedure. The Stroke Limits use the same
potentiometer for guide position feedback, as does Servo Center. Therefore, the Servo Center
Calibration must be performed and Servo Center Polarity must be set before Stroke Limits can
be set and used. The Servo Center Calibration determines the range of adjustment of the
Stroke Limits.
During operation, when the guide reaches either Stroke Limit, the guide will stop moving and
“STROKE LIMIT” begins flashing on line 4 of the LCD Panel. Also, Output B of the Digital I/O is
turned on. The guide is not allowed to continue moving in the direction of the Stroke Limit. The
proper jog key may be used to move the guide in the opposite direction from the Stroke Limit.
While in Automatic mode or Servo Center mode, the guide will move in the opposite direction
from the Stroke Limit if the error signal is of the correct polarity for movement in that direction.
When the guide moves away from the Stroke Limit, Output B of the Digital I/O is turned off.
MOTOR DETECTION
The first time that a 442K ohm resistor is detected in the drive cable
during power-up, the LCD Panel will display ACTIVATING
ALTERNATE MATRIX on lines 2 and 3, and PRESSèéê on line 4, until
the Enter key is pressed. After the ENTER key is pressed, the unit will
automatically restart. During the restart, the alternate matrix is loaded
and the Hardlock and Stroke Limit menus are enabled.

2 SYSTEM SETUP
Setup Procedures for Servo Center, Hardlock, and Stroke Limits
When setting up the system, both Hardlock and Stroke Limits must be turned OFF. To verify
that they are turned off, use the “3X.5.4, Hardlock Control” procedure and the “3X.5.5, Stroke
Limits” procedure, which are located in this document. Once it has been verified that the
Hardlock and Stroke Limits are both turned off, perform the following procedures in the order
listed to setup the system. Verify that the DP-20 is in Manual mode before beginning each of
the following procedures.
3X.1.4, Calibration, Servo-Center Sensor

menus, and return to the Operator Level.
3X.1.7, Servo-Center Polarity
This procedure must be performed before Hardlock and Stroke Limits
can be used.
1. Press the SERVO CENTER key to select the
Servo Center mode. If the guide moves to the
center of the stroke and stops, skip this
procedure and continue with the Hardlock
Control procedure.
2. If the guide remains at one end of the stroke,
press the MANUAL key to return the system to
Manual Mode.
3. Press the SETUP key to enter the Setup
Menus. The SELECT MENU screen will be
displayed.
