Command: MOTCTRL
Shortcut:
MC
Format:
MOTOCTRL [Axis]±
Function:
This command enables (+) or disables (-) the controller’s ability to control the motor of a
certain axis. The motor control voltage is set to zero and the position feedback control
is not monitored when the motor is in disable (-) mode. The electronics of the controller
will attempt to keep the motor from moving while disabled, however, it should be noted
that this is an open-loop brake control only, and any movement or drift is not corrected.
When queried, the controller returns values of 1 or 0 representing enabled and disabled
respectively.
Reply:
If there are no errors, the positive reply
:A
will be sent back from the controller.
Example:
MC X+ Y+ Z-
:A
This example shows that the X and Y motor control is enabled, but
disables the Z motor control.
Command: MOVE
Shortcut:
M
Format:
MOVE [Axis]=[units 1/10 microns]…
Function:
Move one or more axis motors to an absolute
position
. The unit of measurement is in
tenths of microns. If no
position
is specified, 0 (the origin) is assumed.
For devices with
CLOCKED POSITIONS
(turrets and filter wheels), the
position
is an
integer value between one and the number-of-positions. It’s an
Axis-Specific Command.
Reply:
A positive reply of
:A
is sent back when the command is received correctly. Reception
of the reply does not mean the end of execution, and the command
STATUS
can be
used to determine if the move has been completed.
Example:
M X=1234 Y=4321 Z
:A
The controller will move the X-axis to position 123.4 microns from the origin using the
maximum set speed (see
SPEED
). Simultaneously, it will move the Y-axis to position
432.1 microns, and the Z-axis to the zero (0) position.
