Syntax xxPAnn or xxPA?
Parameters
Description xx [int] — Controller address.
nn [float] — Actuator voltage.
Range xx — 1 to 31.
nn — SL ≤ nn ≤ SR.
Units xx — None.
nn — Voltage.
Defaults xx Missing: Error B.
Out of range: Error B.
Floating point: Error A.
nn
Missing: Error C.
Out of range: Error C.
Description The PA command initiates an absolute move. When received, the actuator will move,
with the predefined slew rate, to the new target position specified by nn.
The PA command is only accepted in the READY state, AND when the new target
position is higher or equal to the negative software limit (SL), AND lower or equal to
the positive software limit (SR).
Returns If the sign “?” takes place of nn, the command returns the current programmed value.
Errors A — Unknown message code or floating point controller address.
B — Controller address not correct.
C — Parameter missing or out of range.
D — Execution not allowed.
H — Execution not allowed in NOT REFERENCED state.
I — Command not allowed in CONFIGURATION state.
J — Execution not allowed in DISABLE state.
L — Execution not allowed in HOMING state.
M — Execution not allowed in MOVING state.
Rel. Commands PR — Move relative.
TH — Get set-point voltage.
TP — Get current position (Please notice: same as TH).
Example 1PA45.00 | Move actuator on controller #1 to the absolute position 45.00 V.
