DMC-40x0 Command Reference
OA
FUNCTION:
Off on encoder failure
DESCRIPTION:
Turns on or off encoder failure detection. The controller can detect a failure on either or both
channels of the encoder. This is accomplished by checking on whether motion of at least 4
counts is detected whenever the torque exceeds a preset level (OV) for a specified time (OT).
Note that for this function to work properly it is necessary to have a non-zero value for KI.
The OA command works like the OE command: if OA is set to 1 and an encoder failure occurs,
the axis goes into the motor off (MO) state and the stop code (SC) is set to 12.
ARGUMENTS:
OAn,n,n,n,n,n,n,n where
n is 0 or 1 with 1 enabling this feature.
? returns the last value set
