Changing the IP Address:
DMX-ETH provides the user with the ability to set the device IP of the module.
To write the values to the device’s flash memory, use the
STORE command. After a
complete power cycle, the new IP will be written to memory. Note that before a power
cycle is completed, the settings will not take effect.
Micro-step Driver Configuration
The built in driver of DMX-ETH can be configured via software. See below for
commands relating to driver configuration.
Command Description
DRVMS
Micro-stepping value of the driver [2-500].
DRVRC
Run current value of the driver [100-3000 mA] (peak current)
DRVIC
Idle current value of the driver [100-2800 mA] (peak current)
DRVIT
Idle time value of the driver [1-100 centi-sec]. This is the amount of
time the driver waits before dropping from the run current to idle
current value
RR
Get driver parameters. DRVMS/DRVRC/DRVIC/DRVIT values
will not be valid until the controller reads the driver parameters by
issuing the RR command. Once this command is issued,
communication to DMX-ETH will not be available for 2 seconds.
R2
Get the read operation status. After issuing the RR command and
waiting 2 seconds, get the read operation status by using the R2
command. A return value of 1 signifies a successful read. All other
return values signify a failed read operation.
