MM4006 8 -Axis Motion Controller/Driver
D M o t i o n Program Examples
When learning a new computer language, there is no substitute for actually
writing some real programs. The motion controller's command set is a spe-
cialized language that needs to be mastered in order to be able to create
complex applications. "Fo help you familiarize yourself with MM4006 pro-
gramming structure and language, this appendix contains a few examples
that you can read and copy.
Example 1
The first example is a simple two-axes program that will generate the trian-
gle shown in Fig. 1).1.

Make sure there is no other program in memory with the same name (num-
ber). If you are operating the controller from a remote computer, start by
issuing the XX command for that program number. Then, enter the pro-
gramming mode by using the EP command. If you enter the program from
the front panel, ignore these two and the QP commands.
