CLCISUBS.CPP Program Function Definitions

CLCISUBS.CPP PROGRAM FUNCTION DEFINITIONS

The CLCISUBS.CPP Library is for use with C or C++ programming languages. It can also be used with other versions of 'C' or 'C++' with little or no modifications to the code. This Library is set up to run CLCI2000 Series Indexers at any open address. The following is a command list for all the usable Functions in this Library. This is a comprehensive list that will allow complete control of the CLCI2000 Series Index Boards. Refer to your programming manual for information on how to load this Library.

In all the below descriptions, these general guidelines apply:

The ADDRESS is the setting on the 5 pin dip switch (see Installation). This is always given in the Hexadecimal format. For a setting of 11000, or a Base Address of 300, the correct format would be (0x300, ...)

The AXIS applies to the axis for that particular board (1, 2, 3, or 4)

BUSY (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will return a 1 if the axis is Busy (clock pulses are being generated).

GET_INPUT (ADDRESS, INPUT#)

This will return the value for the Specified input number 1 through 10. A return of a 1 will specify that the input is active (0VDC), and a 0 will specify that the input is not active (an open circuit).

GO_CCW (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will Index in the clockwise direction.

GO_CW (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will Index in the counterclockwise direction.

HARD_INPUT_CCW (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will return the value of the -Hard Limit Switch. If the Limit Switch is ACTIVE or 0VDC, the Function will return a 1. If the Limit Switch is NOT ACTIVE, the function will return a 0.

HARD_INPUT_CW (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will return the value of the +Hard Limit Switch. If the Limit Switch is ACTIVE or 0VDC, the function will return a 1. If the Limit Switch is NOT ACTIVE, the function will return a 0.

HOME_CCW (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will HOME (sometimes called SLEW) the motor in the counterclockwise direction.

HOME_CW (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will HOME (sometimes call SLEW) the motor in the clockwise direction.

HOME_INPUT (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will return the value of the +Home Limit or -Home Lime (determined by the LIMIT_CONTROL). If the Limit Switch is Active, the function will return a 1. If the Limit Switch is NOT ACTIVE, the function will return a 0.

INDEX (ADDRESS, AXIS, NUMBER)

This will set the Index Number Register.

INITIALIZE (ADDRESS, AXIS)

This will set the axis with initial settings. This must be done at the beginning of every program to ensure that the all the default setting are made.

LIMIT_CONTROL (ADDRESS, AXIS, SOFT, MARK, HOME)

This will either Activate or Deactivate the board features: SOFT LIMIT SWITCHES, ENCODER MARKER PULSE, OR HOME LIMIT SWITCH. A 1 will activate the feature, and a 0 will deactivate the feature.

MOTION (ADDRESS, AXIS, BASE, MAX, RAMP)

This will set the Base Speed, Max Speeds, and Acceleration. All three values must be entered.
