STATUS
Terminal Emulation for IBM/Compatibles
To communicate with the OEM6250, you will need a
terminal emulation program. We recommend you use
Motion Architect for Windows (a request card for a
free copy is provided in your ship kit), which
provides terminal emulation and program editor
features as part of its ensemble of programming tools.
Using Motion Architect:
1. To install Motion Architect, insert Disk 1 into
your disk drive and run the Setup program
(setup.exe). Follow the instructions in the
Setup program. NOTE: Be sure to install the
driver files for your product; the Setup program
will prompt you for the “6000 Driver and
Samples” disk that comes with Motion Architect.
2. In the Setup program’s last dialog (indicating
that Motion Architect has been installed
successfully), select “Yes, I want to run Motion
Architect now” and click the “Finish” button to
launch Motion Architect.
3. From Motion Architect’s main menu, click on the
“Product” pull-down menu and click on
“Selection” to invoke the “6000 Series Product
Selection” dialog box. In the Servo Control
area of the dialog box, type “OEM6250” in the
Other field and click the Okay button.
4. From Motion Architect’s main menu, click on
“Terminal” to launch the terminal emulator.
5. Power up the OEM6250. The terminal window
will display a powerup message followed by a
command prompt (
>
); this indicates that you are
communicating with the OEM6250.
If you use a different terminal emulation software
package, configure it as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, full duplex, enable
XON/XOFF.

End-of-travel
and
Home Limits
NOTE: If you are not using end-of-travel limits, issue the Disable Limits (
LH¯,¯
) command
and ignore the first two bits in each response field.
1. Enable the hardware end-of-travel limits with the
LH3,3
command.
2. Close the end-of-travel switches and open the home switches.
3. Enter the
TLIM
command. The response should be
*TLIM11¯_11¯
.
4. Open the end-of-travel switches and close the home switches.
5. Enter the
TLIM
command. The response should be
*TLIM¯¯1_¯¯1
.
6. Close the end-of-travel switches and open the home switches (return to original config.).
7. Enter the
TLIM
command. The response should be
*TLIM11¯_11¯
.
TLIM
response:
bit 1 = Axis 1 POS limit
bit 2 = Axis 1 NEG limit
bit 3 = Axis 1 HOM limit
bit 4 = Axis 2 POS limit
bit 5 = Axis 2 NEG limit
bit 6 = Axis 2 HOM limit
“POS” means positive travel.
“NEG” means negative travel.
“HOM” means home.
