9.1 RS-232 communication
For Q type drives, port CN6 is the RJ-11 communication port for RS-232 communication. Applied Motion Products’ SCL serial
command language can be used to control the drive.
9.1.1 What is SCL?
Applied Motion Products’ SCL, or Serial Command Language, was developed by to give users a simple way to control a motor drive
via a serial port. This eliminates the need for separate motion controllers or to supply control signals, like Pulse & Direction, to step
and servo motor drives. It also provides an easy way to interface to a variety of other industrial devices like PLCs, industrial computers,
and HMIs, which often have standard or optional serial ports for communication.
NOTE: For more details about SCL commands, please download the Host Command Reference manual from Applied Motion Products’
website.
