Omega Series Digital PWM Amplifier Manual
Terminal Window
The Terminal Window can either be accessed under the “Tools”
option on MotionMaestro’s
©
main menu or via a button on the tool-
bar.
The Terminal has direct communication to the amplifier. You can
command the amplifier by typing commands to the terminal window.
For example, typing BV then the enter key will send the request to
read the Bus Voltage in the amplifier. If you wanted to change the
Bus Voltage you would type BV200 then press enter. This would
change the Bus Voltage to 200. Query command use just the ASCII
letters of the command, where set commands use both Letters and a
numerical value for an argument.
Caution must be used when this window is activated due to the
possibility of entering commands which would have undesirable effects.
Amplifier Status
MotionMaestro
©
has a variety of status displays that assists the application engineer in setting up am-
plifier or diagnosing an amplifier setup. Rather than showing all possible status on one dialog, Motion-
Maestro
©
has been designed so that only those applicable to the situation at hand can be displayed.
These dialogs continuously send queries to the amplifier to determine the amplifiers current status.
The size and location of each status display is
saved when exiting the display. When return-
ing to the status the last size and position is
used in positioning the window. F1 can be
pressed to obtain help on the various items or
status in the current dialog.
Control Loop Signals
This dialog is useful for determining if an am-
plifier’s control loop is responding properly. Commanded and measured current can be displayed as
well as the motors current velocity and position. Display this dialog by selecting “Status\Control Loop
Signals...” or via a button on MotionMaestro’s toolbar.
Digital Inputs
This dialog indicates the state of digital inputs coming into the am-
plifier. Digital inputs are those inputs that can be characterized as
being active or inactive. They are typically associated with one of
the controller input and output signal pins. See the associated pin
in the hardware section for a description of the digital input of inter-
est. Display this dialog by selecting “Status\Inputs\Digital…” or via
a button on MotionMaestro’s toolbar.
