DESCRIPTION This command is used to set the hardware limit checking, polarity, and event
handling for axis specified with
xx .
Note:
If bit-0 or both bits-1 and -2 are set to zero(0) then no action will be taken by the
controller.
Note:
The controller always interprets the nn value as a hexadecimal number, even
when the letter "H" is not appended to the desired value. Since nn is a
hexadecimal number, it is possible that the most significant character (left most
character) is an alphabet (A—F) depending on the choice of values for various
bits. In order for the controller to distinguish between an ASCII command and
its value, it is recommended that the users always add a leading zero (0) to the nn
value. See table below for clarification:
Command Issued Controller Interpretation
1ZH123H nn = 123H = (0001 0010 0011)Binary
1ZH123 nn = 123H = (0001 0010 0011)Binary
1ZH0F25H nn = F25H = (1111 0010 0101) Binary
1ZHF25H Invalid command
