Software Commands
71
Defines the motor home or origin position as executed by the GH command and configures
with the Homing Function (OS) commands. OSC determines the active state of the input.
Up to one input can be configured as a home input.
Function F—Go Input
Accelerates the motor to a velocity and distance specified in the Acceleration (A), Velocity
(V), and Distance (D) commands. Same as Go (G) command. Active state (go initiated) is
high. Up to one input can be configured as a go input.
Some of the functions (stop, kill, home, go) can only have one input configured to that
function. If you try to configure another input to that function, the controller will not
recognize the new function and revert back to the previous definition. For example, if input
1 is a kill function, and you want input 5 to be the kill function, you must first change input
1 to another function.
Function B (sequence select) can configure up to three inputs as sequence select inputs. If
you try to configure more than three inputs, the controller will only recognize the first three.
It will revert back to the previous definitions for the additional inputs.

Response to aIS is *nnnnnnnn
This command reports the status of all hardware inputs. The response is 8 ASCII digits ( Ø
or 1) corresponding to the following I/O bits:
1—IN1 (Ø = Low, 1 = High)
2—IN2 (Ø = Low, 1 = High)
3—IN3 (Ø = Low, 1 = High)
4—IN4 (Ø = Low, 1 = High)
5—IN5 (Ø = Low, 1 = High)
6—CW limit (Ø = Low, 1 = High)
7—CCW limit (Ø = Low, 1 = High)
8—Fault (Ø = Low, 1 = High)
This is not a software status. It will report the actual hardware status of the inputs. IS can
help you troubleshoot an application, to verify that limit switches, trigger inputs and home
switches work.
