Figured I would ask on here before I call up Hexagon and ask for assistance. So This new company I'm working with has bought a brand new off the shelf 7-10-7 global EPS (aka, Brown&Sharpe) top speed parameters shows 300. This thing is slower at top speed then this old Mistral, I used to run. I would think this thing should go a lot faster. At one facility here, I have a 5-7-5 global EPS top speed 500. I would like to believe that this thing should move, so before I go changing any numbers. I would like to know if this is the best this thing can do or is there a setting that can make this thing move. Calling out
JEFMAN,
AndersI,
Rondog, or anybody else that may know the answer.
Ok folks, I did call Hex, based off of the motor on this particular machine and controller. Top speed for it is 300. I did attempt putting larger speed numbers in there. And this machine would just error out not move at all.
Matthew D. Hoedeman did try the absolute speed, ran no different then 100%. So I can continue to do it the correct way and run it in %.

To further defend Kirbs here, a 1950's VW Bus's top speed is nothing in comparison to a shiny new Ferrari. But if you want to still do laps on the same track reliably, you can drive both at 80% speed and know you will still get there. Some companies have multiple machines of varying age, and the expectation for the product to be measured equivalently between all of them is real. Setting % of max, as opposed to absolute speed, helps with this situation.
