Parameter settings for C-862 Mercury™ DC-Motor Controller
The C-862 Mercury™ Controller is a compact palm-size, single-axis
controller. C-862s are daisy-chain networkable and a multi-axis system can
be controlled from a single PC RS-232 interface.
The Windows operating program for the C-862 Mercury™ controller allows
choice of micropositioners as a start-up option for operation. The C-862
Mercury™ has the correct operating mode (analog or PWM) automatically
enabled with no extra command required.
