10
Commands
Set RS232 communication protocol correctly and de-select the test mode in the dip switch to enter
command mode.
The following are a list of commands that are accepted over the RS232 input. The small x's after a
command stand for numbers that can be entered.
The alpha characters must be capital
.
The command
is entered by following a Space key
. See examples.
MC_A100_V100_G_
The above program will set motor to move in continuous mode, 10 rev/sec² acceleration, 1 rev/sec velocity.
Each command is followed by a space represented by _ (underscore).
Axxxx
Acceleration
This is in rev/sec/sec the least significant digit is in 0.1 rev. The drive does not accept a period to
locate the decimal point. Thus accelerations from 999.9 to 0.1 rev/sec² are represented by the 4 integers.
The least significant bit represents 0.1 multiples of acceleration.
Example A255 sets the acceleration to 25.5 rev/sec²; A3 sets the acceleration to 0.3 rev/sec². The
acceleration should be set after each move is completed. In the distance mode the acceleration should not
be changed while the motor is moving.
CF
COMMAND CURRENT OFF
Removes power from the motor and turns FAULT LED 2 on. This removes motor torque so the load can be
moved by hand.
CN
COMMAND CURRENT ON
Puts power back on the motor. If the CF command is issued this command should be issued prior to doing a
move.
Dxxxxxxxx
Distance
The distance is in motor steps (25600 per revolution. Valid numbers are ±2.000.000.000). The
distance is a 32 bit number internally. Putting in larger numbers will cause incorrect moves. The distance
command is only applicable in the position mode (MI or MA). The distance is in reference to the current
position.
Example
MI A100 V100 D256000 G
