MC—Mode Continuous
❏
Command Type: Motion
❏
Valid Software Version: A

Units: N/A
❏
Range: N/A
❏
Default Status: Inactive

Savable in Sequence
The Mode Continuous (MC) command causes subsequent moves to ignore any distance
parameter and move continuously. You can clear the MC command with the Move Normal
(MN) command.
The controller uses the previously defined Acceleration (A) and Velocity (V) commands to
reach continuous velocity. Using the Time Delay (T), Trigger (TR), and Velocity (V)
commands, you can achieve basic velocity profiling. After a new parameter is entered a Go
(G) command is required. Acceleration (A) cannot be changed on the fly.
Command
Description
MC
Sets mode to continuous
A5
Sets acceleration to 5 revs/sec
2
V5
Sets velocity to 5 revs/sec
G
Executes the move (Go)
T1Ø
Move at 5 revs/sec for 10 seconds
V7
Set velocity to 7 revs/sec
G
Change velocity to 7 revs/sec
T1Ø
Move at 7 revs/sec for 10 seconds
VØ
Set velocity to 0 rev/sec (stop)
G
Executes the VØ command
The motor turns at 5 revs/sec for 10 seconds, then moves at 7 revs/sec for 10 seconds
before decelerating to a stop.

Savable in Sequence
The Mode Normal (MN) command sets the positioning mode to preset. In Mode Normal,
the motor will move the distance specified with the last distance (D) command. To define
the complete move profile, you must define Acceleration (A), Velocity (V), and the
Distance (D). The MN command is used to change the mode of operation from Mode
Continuous (MC) back to normal or preset. To use the MPA or MPI command, you must
be in Mode Normal (MN).
Command
Description
MN
Set positioning mode to preset
A5
Set acceleration to 5 revs/sec
2
V5
Set velocity to 5 revs/sec
D1ØØØ
Set distance to 1,000 encoder counts
G
Executes the move (Go)
Motor turns 1,000 encoder counts CW after the G command is issued.
