DESCRIPTION
TR
SET UP/QUERY
TURNS/USER REV
Sets the number of motor turns per user revolution. The default setting of 1 indicates that 1
motor turn is 1 user turn. An SR value of 4000 would then mean that there are 4000 user steps
per motor revolution. In rate instances it may be desirable to program other than a 1:1 motor
turn/user turn ratio. If, for instance, due to gear box ratioing three motor turns was equal to 10
inches, the user could program TR=3 and SR=10000 allowing for programming in .001 inch
increments with no cumulative error. Without the TR parameter the user would be forced to set
SR=3333 but would have cumulative error of .001 inch every three motor turns. For the most
part, this parameter can be ignored and the SR parameter may then be thought of as steps per
motor revolution.
IMX
EXECUTION ONLY
INITIALIZE MEMORY PARAMETERS
Initializes various system/memory parameters.
X = 0 – initialize entire system
1 – initialize PCM information only
2 – initialize I/O information only
3 – initialize index information only
4 – initialize program arrays only
5 – initialize gain information only
6 – initialize limit information only
PF
SET UP/QUERY
POWER UP FLAGS
Sets a bit flag pattern used on power up. (Default = 0) (HEX)
bit
0 – set to 1 to power up under serial control
1 – set to 0 for mode to be follow dip switches
set to 1 for mode to be set to EM2 parameter on power up
and for mode to be controlled through serial
2 – set to
∅
for PCM-5 or PCM-6 pulses to come from an external encoder
set to
∅
for pulses to come from a master axis
example:
PF=01 will cause future power ONs to immediately force the serial control
mode of operation.
PY
SET UP/QUERY
ACTUATOR POLARITY
Sets the directional polarity of the system. PY=0 (default) causes CW rotation of the actuator for
positive motion. PY=1 causes CCW rotation of the actuator for positive motion.
RPX
SET UP/QUERY
ROTARY POSITION LIMITS
Sets the rotary absolute position limits of the system. When absolute position passes the positive
limit (RP1) it will roll over to the negative limit (RPO). Similarly, when the negative limit is
passed, absolute position will roll over to the positive limit. The default settings are RPO= -
2147483648 and RP1= +2147483647 which is the largest absolute position range that the system
