PSWITCH
Type: Command
Syntax:
PSWITCH(sw,en,[,axis,opno,opst,setpos,rspos])
Description: The
PSWITCH
command allows an output to be fired when a predefined position is
reached, and to go OFF when a second position is reached. There are 16 (8 on
MC202) position switches each of which can be assigned to any axis, and can be
assigned ON/OFF positions and OUTPUT numbers.
Multiple PSWITCH’s can be assigned to a single output. The result on the output will
be the OR of the position switches and the standard BASIC OP setting.
The command must be used with all 7 parameters to enable a switch, just the first
2 parameters are required to disable a switch.
