7.2 Single and Dual Axis Jog Box Operation
Jog box operation is very straightforward. Once connected, the jog box will control the
motor as follows. Pressing either the
+
or
–
button causes the motor to move in the
positive or negative rotation direction. The speed of rotation is determined by the
Slow Jog (SJ
command
)
speed that has been set in the PM600. Momentarily
pressing the
+
or
–
buttons causes the motor to move in single steps.
Pressing the F button together with either the
+
or
–
buttons causes the motor to move
at the Fast Jog (
SF
command) speed that has been programmed into the PM600 (see
pages 7-48 and 7-49 of the PM600 manual)
7.3 Multi-axis Jog Box Operation
The MSB867 interfaces between the JC809 Multi-axis Jog Box and the PM600.
It communicates to the JC809 via signals transferred over a RS485 link. The outputs
from the MSB867 connect to the PM600’s Jog inputs. Connecting the ‘Jog Daisy-
Chain’ lead between the
JOG B
connector on one system to the
JOG A
connector on
the next system allows further systems to be connected to the JC809.
A rotary switch on the MSB867 sets the axis address that is shown on the JC809. This
switch is accessible by removing the rear top cover of the unit. A setting of 0 will mean
that the axis cannot be controlled by the JC809. The default axis is 1 but any axis
between 1 and 15 can be selected. Note that axes 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 are
represented by the letters A, B, C, D, E and F respectively.
