BI FUNCTION: Brushless Inputs
DESCRIPTION:
The BIx indicates the starting number for the input lines to which the Hall sensors have been
wired for sinusoidally commutated motors. These inputs must be the general use inputs
(bits 1-7). The Hall sensors of the motor must be connected with consecutive numbers of
input lines.
The brushless setup command, BS, can be used to determine the proper wiring of the hall
sensors.
ARGUMENTS: BIx where
x indicates the starting input line.
0 clears the hall sensor configuration for the axis.
