SOMMER offers control profiles in the GIGAcontrol-A controllers from firmware version 3.7.
As an installer we are more often confronted with a series of parameters that are identical for each installation. To set such a range of parameters quickly, SOMMER has added control profiles to the controllers. Via a quick start menu you can immediately set frequently used functions.
Check your firmware version on the start-up screen of your controller.
Pre-set safety devices mean that safety edges and photocells can be connected quickly and the operation check is clearly indicated on the profile overview.
