Syntax T S
Parameters N o n e .
Description T h i s command reads the controller status byte.
Returns T S e i (1- to 4-axis controller) or TSc1c2 (5- to 8-axis controller)
Errors
Rel. Commands
c1c2 — Controller status (1 or 2 characters).
Each bit of the status byte represents a particular controller parameter, as
described in the following table:

NOTE
If bit #7 is high after sending TS command, it toggles low automatically.
The byte returned is in the form of an ASCII character. Converting the ASCII
code to binary will give the status bits values.
NOTE
For a complete ASCII to binary conversion table see Appendix F.

S — Unknown message code.
Communication time-out.
MS — R e a d motor status.
TX — R e a d controller activity.
Example T S I R e a d controller status byte.
TSF I T h e 1- to 4-axis controller returns character F, or ASCII character 70;
converting 70 to binary we get 01000110 which must be interpreted
with the table above.
