Command:
aGO -- Go (start motion) --
This command causes servo axis 'a' to begin motion. When in the Velocity Mode (VM), the axis
will accelerate to a constant velocity. When in the Position Mode (PM) the axis will begin to seek the
specified target position. The servo must be in the "on" state for motion to occur.
Related Commands: MA, MR, PM, VM
Command:
aMAn -- Move Target Absolute --
Argument:
-2,147,483,647 <= n <= 2,147,483,647
This command sets the target position of servo axis 'a' to absolute position 'n'. The absolute
position is relative to the point of initialization (home or 0). As the Move Absolute (MA) command will not
initiate a motion, a Go (GO) command must be used. The servo's target position will be adjusted whether
the servo is on or off.
Related Commands: GO, MR, PM
Command:
aMF -- Motor Off --
This command is used to place servo axis 'a' in the "off" state. The servo's output will go to the
null level. This command can be used to prevent unwanted motion or to allow manual positioning of the
unit. When the servo is turned off, the target and the optimal positions will follow the real position.
Related Commands: MN
Command:
aMN -- Motor On --
This command is used to place servo axis 'a' in the "on" state. When the servo is turned on, its
target position is set to its current position so that the servo is not inclined to move. When this command
is issued, it will disable the Home and Index interrupt sources and will reset the Error, Fault, Breakpoint
reached, Looking for Edge, Looking for Index and Limit Tripped bits in the status word for axis 'a'.

Command:
aMRn -- Move Target Relative --
Argument:
-2,147,483,647 <= n <= 2,147,483,647
This command generates a relative target position of 'n' counts for servo axis 'a'. Since the Move
Relative (MR) command will not initiate a motion, a Go (GO) command must be used. The servo's target
position will be adjusted whether the servo is on or off.
