Logical axis
1
1*
A logical axis represents the motion of the mechan-
ics in E-871.1A1N's firmware. It corresponds to the
axis of a linear coordinate system. Motion for logi-
cal axes is commanded in the firmware of the
E-871.1A1N (i.e., for the directions of motion of a
positioner).
The axis identifier can be queried with the
command. It
can consist of up to 8 characters; valid characters
are:
1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-_
The positioner type connected to an axis can be
queried with the
parameter (0x3C) has the value NOSTAGE, the axis
is "deactivated". A deactivated axis is not accessible
for axis-related commands (e.g., motion commands
or position queries). The identifier of a deactivated
axis can only be queried with
SAI? ALL
.
Analog inputs
8
1 to 8
The analog input lines with the identifiers 1 to 4 are
the inputs 1 to 4 of the
I/O socket. Their number is
displayed with the
command. Note that
these lines can also be used as digital inputs (see
below).
Additional analog input lines are located at the
Joy-
stick socket. These lines are not output via
TAC?
and
TAV?
.
The values of all inputs can be recorded via record
option 81 of the
command.

1 to 4
1 to 4 identify digital output lines 1 to 4 of the
I/O
socket.

1 to 4
1 to 4 identify digital input lines 1 to 4 of the
I/O
socket, which can also be used as analog inputs (see
above).

terface Device)

The HID (e.g., joystick) is used for HID control of the
E-871.1A1N's logical axis. Information on the HID's
axes and buttons can be queried with the
command.

1 to 4
Two of the HID's axes can be connected to the
Joy-
stick socket. Connection options:
■
Pin 4 (0 to 3.3 V): Command as axis 1 of the HID
■
Pin 2 (0 to 3.3 V): Command as axis 2 of the HID
