show to bring the motion base home for loading/unloading. Once
a park command is issued, the motion profile data is ignored by
the motion base as it heads to its home position.
Bit 2 = Engage:
This command is valid only when the Moog Motion
Base is in Idle mode and operating with sixteen bit resolutions. This
command is used to move the motion base from the home posi-
tion to the ‘flying’ position and enter the ‘Engaged’ mode. During
the time after this command is issued until the motion base enters
the ‘Engaged’ mode it is in what is called ‘Standby’ mode. During
Standby mode you must hold all the position values at the follow-
ing levels. If you do not, then the motion base will enter a fault
mode and not Engage again until you have issued a ‘Reset’ com-
mand. Be aware that there is an anomaly in the Moog 2000 soft-
ware that will cause it to fault out at least once the first time you
try to Engage it. You will then need to issue a ‘Reset’ command
and try again.
DOF mode:All axis but Heave = 32,767
Heave = 58,000
Length Mode: All axis = 2048
Bit 3 = Start:
This command is valid only when the Moog Motion Base
is in Idle mode. This command is just like the ‘Engage’ command
above, except that it allows you to define the starting position for
the ride vehicle. It can be used if you are using eight, twelve or
sixteen bit resolution position commands. You set the starting posi-
tion by sending any legal position commands to the motion base
and issuing this command. During the time after this command is
issued until the motion base enters the ‘Engaged’ mode it is in
what is called ‘Standby’ mode. During Standby mode the positions
must not change until the motion base has entered the
‘Engaged’ mode.
Bit 4 = Reset:
This command is valid only when the Moog Motion
Base is in either Fault or Inhibit modes. This command is used to
reset low level error conditions in the Moog Motion Base. Examples
of errors that this command will reset are those ‘position errors’
that are caused when you try to ‘Engage’ the Motion Base without
sending it the appropriate position data.
Bit 5 = Inhibit:
This command is valid only when the Moog Motion
Base is in either Power Up or Idle modes. This is a temporary
method of deactivating the motion base. When ‘Inhibited’, the
motion base will ignore further commands until it receives a
