Figure 8 Configuration with joystick One or 2 axis can be controlled as shown above from a simple Joystick console sold separately Only one power supply and no PC is required to operate Available controls are position velocity and acquiring home reference 10 y plezosystemyjena incredibly precise 3 3 Front Panel Button The front panel button toggles the execution of Macro 1 CM1 and Macro 2 CM2 Pressing the button first time starts the execution of Macrol Pressing it again executes Macro 2 and so on 3 4 Macro 0 At startup the controller automatically executes Macro 0 CMO The user can write his own startup sequence and store it in Macro 0 If the user doesn t need anything to be executed at startup then Macro O can be defined differently For example DMO TP Tell Position command 3 5 Single multiple commands The MC 101 01 controller uses 2 letter commands to allow it to perform multiple functions The commands can be executed instantly repeated multiple times or saved See details in section 4 Commands of this manual 4 Commands Commands are used to interact with the motor controller system They can be issued from a PC using the Hyper Terminal program Refer to the 2 3 PC Communication section All the commands have the basic format of 2 characters that may or may not be followed by a number Multiple commands can be issued and or stored in a single string each single command being sep
3. Repetitions represent the number of times a command or a macro has to be repeated That means that the command or macro is executed and then repeated as many times as the re petition value specifies The format of the repetition is RPValue RP repetition command Value the number of repetitions 1 to 9223372036854775807 Example TP rp1000 will execute the TP Command 1001 times the parentesis are neccessary for repetitions 14 y plezosystemyjena incredibly precise 4 1 3 5 Saved macros Macros saved in the memory have a macro number Each time a macro is called from the memory it needs to have its number specified The number oft the macro can be 0 to 8 4 1 3 6 Limitations 1 The maximum length of the Macro is limited to 94 characters including blanks 2 The maximum number of Macros saved in the memory is 9 This means there is available space to save Macro 0 to Macro 8 3 You cannot call an existing Macro already saved in the memory when you define a new Macro However you can call a saved Macro for execution or display Example DM5 CM2 is not accepted 4 TP CM2 TM4 EM5 is a valid Macro 4 2 Examples Example 1 4MR6000 Board 4 execute Move Relative 6000 steps Example 2 sv1200 Set Velocity to 1200 for any board Example 3 4MR6000 RP 24 Board 4 execute Move Relative 6000 steps and repeat the mo vement 24 more times STR 15 FA CERT 3 IN AN 150 9001 2008 y J y pl
