Section 4: RS-232C IDeal
™
Command Reference
Overview
Though we strongly recommend taking advanta ge of the capabilities and conven-
ience of
Application De veloper
, you can configure,program,and run a SmartDrive
from any RS-232C terminal or computer. If you do not intend to use the Windows
software tools we provide, you will need to use the IDeal
™
RS-232C command
listings that follow.
“Hosted”or “interactive”motion control from a PLC or PC is also a common mode
of operation.You can write your control programs in your language of choice
(BASIC,C,ladder, etc.).
RS-232C SmartDrive operation is divided into four categories of commands.The
first category is
Serial Setup Commands
.These are the commands that IDC’s
Application De veloper
program uses to configure the SmartDrive according to the
choices made in the SETUP dialog boxes.These
Serial setup Commands
include
the syntax of the command,but the full command definitions and examples are
found in
Chapter 5 - Configuring Your System
.
The second category is
Serial Programming Commands
.These are commands
that can be executed over RS-232C or downloaded to the SmartDrive’s non-volatile
memory for later execution.This category of commands is identical in syntax and
functionality to the equivalent keypad command.These run-time RS-232C commands
are listed in the RS-232C Command Reference,but the full definition and examples
are listed in
Chapter 6 - Prog ramming Commands
.
The third category of Serial commands is
Serial Immediate Status Commands
.
These commands bypass the normal command buffer and are executed immediately,
regardless of what else the SmartDrive has been asked to do.These commands
include instantaneous position reporting,drive status,and emergency kill and stop
commands.
The final category is
Serial Supervisory Commands
.These are the actual
uploading and downloading of the setup and program parameters.Once an
application with setup para m e t e rs and command has been cre a t e d , these commands
are used to download and upload the file to and from the SmartDrive.
Sample *.idc File
To fa m i l i a rize yo u rself with
I D e a l
RS-232C commands, rev i ew the fo l l owing ex a m p l e
of a typical file created in
Application De veloper
for download to a B8962. You will
need to generate a similar file to configure your SmartDrive.Individual programs
can be downloaded in such a configuration file,or downloaded separately at run-
time.The SmartDrive can also execute run-time commands in an “immediate”
mode outside of any program.See the
Command Syntax
section of this chapter
for more details.
