7.2 NextMove ES indicators
7.2.1 Status display
The Status LED normally displays the unit’s node number. To display information about a specific axis, use the LED keyword (see the MintMT help file). When a specific axis is selected, the following symbols may be displayed by the Status LED. Some characters will flash to indicate an error.
Spline. A spline move is being performed. See the SPLINE keyword and related commands.
Axis enabled.
Torque mode. The NextMove ES is in Torque mode. See the TORQUE keyword and related commands.
Hold to Analog. The axis is in Hold To Analog mode. See the HTA keyword and related commands.
Follow and offset. When an axis is following a demand signal it may be necessary to advance or retard the slave in relation to the master. To do this an offset move is performed in parallel with the follow. See the FOLLOW and OFFSET keywords.
Circle. A circle move is being performed. See the CIRCLEA or CIRCLER keywords.
Cam. A Cam profile is being profiled. See the CAM keyword.
General error. See the AXISERROR keyword. The motion toolbar displays the status of AXISERROR, which is a bit pattern of all latched errors. See also the Error Log topics in the help file.
Error input. The ERRORINPUT has been activated and generated an error.
Flying shear. A flying shear is being profiled. See the FLY keyword.
Position following error. A following error has occurred. See the AXISERROR keyword and associated keywords. Following errors could be caused by a badly tuned drive/motor. At higher acceleration and deceleration rates, the following error will typically be greater. Ensure that the drive/motor is adequately tuned to cope with these acceleration rates.
The following error limit can be adjusted to suit your application (see the FOLERRORFATAL and VELFATAL keywords). Following error could also be the cause of encoder/resolver loss (see also the FEEDBACKFAULTENABLE keyword).
Follow mode. The axis is in Follow mode. See the FOLLOW keyword.
Homing. The axis is currently homing. See the HOME keyword.
Incremental move. An incremental move is being profiled. See the INCA and INCR keywords.
Jog. The axis is jogging. In the Mint help file, see the topics JOG, JOGCOMMAND and Jog mode.
