CPS Mixing (1, 2, 3 )

This function controls the Futaba CPS-1 channel power switch. Normally, when using the CPS-1 unit to light the vehicle dress-up and other illumination (LED) the CPS-1 unit with LED connected is connected to a vacant switch channel and the LEDs are turned on and off by switch while the vehicle is running. However, when the CPS mixing function is used, the LED can be turned on and off and À ashed in step with steering and throttle operation, as well as being turned on and off by switch. The À ashing speed (cycle) can also be set. For in- stance, the LED can be À ashed as a brake light by throttle brake side operation. Three lines of CPS mixing can be used.

The CPS-1 unit does not operate in SR mode. When using with the T - FHSS SR system, connect it to the channel of the normal mode.

S.Bus Servo

This is a special function which allows Futaba S.BUS/S.BUS2 servo parameter changes to be set by the T7PX transmitter. However, some data changes require a PC and S-Link software. This function is used by connecting Futaba S.BUS/S.BUS2 servo directly to the transmitter. Use the various optional servo extension cords according to the distance between the transmitter and servo. (SR mode setting is for T7PX only, it can not be set with S-Link software.)

-If shutting off while writing the parameters, the servo may fail. Please use this function with suf¿ cient battery power.

-Power is supplied to the servo from the transmitter, but the corresponding voltage is for high voltage servo (HV) use. Since an overvoltage will be applied to servos other than this, connect the corresponding battery to the servo. When the battery is connected, the supply of power from the transmitter automatically stops.

Caution

When connecting an S-BUS servo that does not support high voltage, connect a battery matched

to the servo speciﬁ cations.

High voltage servo support voltage is supplied from the transmitter. If a servo that does not support high voltage is connected, unreasonable force will be applied to the servo and will cause trouble.

Do not disconnect the servo connector or turn off the transmitter power while writing parameters.

It may cause the servo to malfunction.

Display data list

The type and data of the loaded servo are displayed. Since there are two setting items,

change the page as follows.

When the connected servo

type is not compatible with the SR mode, "Unsupported Normal mode" is displayed

- Do not plug in or disconnect servos, or connect other servos while keeping the screen where data was read by [Read]. Be sure to connect the servo in the state where [Write] or [Reset] is ¿ nished, or press the Home button to access the accessory menu screen.

- The loaded data can not be written to another servo.

SR mode setting

(Writing to servo)

Tap [SR mode] or [Normal mode] of SR mode setting. A confirmation screen of "Notes on SR setting" is displayed, so read carefully and tap [Normal mode] or [SR mode].

- When [Normal mode] is selected, "Writing succeeded" is displayed on the screen, and the setting data is written to the servo.

- If "Failed" is displayed, communication with the servo is not performed normally. Check the connection between the T7PX and the servo, and then execute the write operation again.

(When SR mode is selected by writing to servo)

In the conﬁ rmation screen of "Notes on SR setting", tap [SR mode], the screen for selecting the SR type is displayed. Three types with different feeling are prepared. (Please repeat the test and choose the type. )

- "Writing succeeded" is displayed on the screen and the setting data is written to the servo. If "Failed" is displayed, communication with the servo is not performed normally. Check the connection between the T7PX and the servo, and then execute the [Write] operation again.

- For the servo set to SR mode, afﬁ x the attached SR label so that the mode can be recog- nized.

Do not connect absolutely to the S. BUS channel of all receivers

for the servo set to SR mode. The servo will fail.

S.BUS function setup

On the setting screen of each function, if you tap the item to be set, [-] [reset] [+] will be dis-

played at the bottom of the screen, tap the [-] [+] on the panel Set. Tap[Reset] to return to the initial value. There are items with no [reset]. In case of selection type, data is switched by tapping an item.

Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed.

Dead band

The dead band angle at stopping can be speciﬁed.

[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]

Small - Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change.

Large - Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.

(Note)

increase and the life of the servo will be shortened.

Damper

The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set.

When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position. Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.

[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]

Small - When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur.

Function

Large - When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has worsened.

(Note)

also be shortened.

If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will

If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will

Smoother

This function makes servo operation smooth. Set it according to your taste. Normally set it to "ACT". Set it to "INH" when want especially quick operation. When the smoother function was set to "ACT" and the servo was operated the distance up to the target position is changed in steps so movement is smooth.

Stretcher

The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted.

S.Bus Servo

This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below.

[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation] Small - Servo holding force becomes weaker. Large - Servo holding force becomes stronger.

(Note)

When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases.

Boost/Boost (ON/OFF)

INH : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation. (In the case of usual)

ACT : It is always the boost ON. (When quick operation is hope).

The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.

[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation] Small - Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth. Large - Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too large, operation will be-

come rough.

Channel

This is the S.BUS system channel assigned to the servo. When connected to the receiver S-BUS2 connector as an S.BUS system, the channel used by the transmitter is assigned. When the normal receiver channel is used, channel setting is unnecessary.

Reverse

The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.

Soft Start

Restricts operation in the speciﬁed direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the ﬁrst initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the speciﬁed position.

Neutral

The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo’s range of travel is restricted on one side.

Stop Mode

The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be speciﬁed. The “Hold” mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system.

Speed

Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor ﬂuctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque.

However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased.

Function

Travel [Left] / [Right]

The maximum left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently.

MC Link (ESC Link)

This is a special function which allows Futaba motor controller (MC) data changes to be set by the T7PX transmitter (MC960CR, MC950CR, MC851C, MC602C, MC402CR, etc.).

However, some data changes require a PC and Link software.

This function is used by connecting ESC directly to the transmitter.

Use the various optional servo extension cords according to the distance between the transmitter and ESC.

-Also connect the battery at the ESC side.
