HOMING (0 or 1)
There are 2 homing modes, Home Type 0 and Home Type 1.
Home Type 0 uses the Soft Limit Switch, and the Home
Limit Switch. When the Soft Limit Switch is
encountered, the motor will start ramping down to the
Base Speed. When the Home Limit Switch is
encountered, the motor will stop.
Home Type 1 uses only the Home Limit Switch. When
the Home Limit Switch is encountered, the motor will
ramp down to the Base Speed and then stop. The
motor will then go in the opposite direction at Base
Speed until the Home Limit Switch is encountered
again. The Home FLAG must go past the switch that
triggers it, and come off of it. It will then reverse
direction and then stop when the switch is sensed again.
The sequence that the switch must go through is: a Low
Level, a High Level, and then back down to a Low
Level.
IF INPUTS THEN... (5 characters, a space, 5 characters), Line#
To select If Inputs Then..., type the Command Key 'I'. This command will check the value of the Inputs and loop to the
specified line number if they match what was specified.
INDEX TO POSITION (-8,388,608 to 8,388,608)
To select Index to Position, type the Command Key 'P'. The Indexer will internally calculate the correct direction and
distance to index.
JUMP TO LINE (1 to 1000)
To select Jump to Line, type the Command Key 'J'. The software will jump forwards or backwards to the specified line
when it reaches this command.
LOOP TO X, Y TIMES (1 to 1000, any real number for times)
To select Loop to X,Y Times, type the Command Key 'L'. The software will loop to the specified line given as X, the
number of times given by Y. In the initial release of this software (below version 2.00) nested looping will not be allowed.
MAX SPEED (.001 to 2,500,000)
To select the Max Speed, type the Command Key 'M'. This command will set the Maximum Speed. The default for this
number is 4000.
NUMBER TO INDEX (0 to 16,777,215)
To select the Index Number, type the Command Key 'N'. This command will set the distance to index by the Go
Command. The default for this number is 400.
QUIT (no value)
To select the Quit Command, type the Command Key 'Q'. This will stop execution of the program.
RAMP (any number)
To select the Ramp Command, type the Command Key 'R'. This will set the value for the Acceleration and Deceleration.
The number is in the actual units that are being used. For example, with a Unit/Scale of 1, a Ramp of 100000 would be
a ramp of 100000 steps per second per second (steps/sec^2). (see units command)
