ASCII Command using an External Application
A
drive’s RS-232 serial bus can be used by an external control application (HMI, PLC, PC, etc.) for
setup and direct serial control of the drive. The control application can issue drive commands from
the set of ASCII format commands that make up the Copley Controls ASCII Interface.
For example:
To clear
a driver’s encoder faults using an external control application, write a
1
to bit
7
of
the fault register
0xa4
.
See Copley’s ASCII Programmers Guide for more information.
CME 2 may also be used to send an ASCII command to clear latched
Encoder Faults
on the drive
as in the following procedure.
