†Not available when using new version 7 drivers.

The argument “n” enables interrupts for the first 8 general inputs. To enable interrupts for the desired inputs, set bit 15 of the “m” argument, then set the desired inputs using the 8-bit mask for the “n” argument. For example, to enable interrupt on inputs 1-4, set EI32768,15. Note that the input interrupts must be reset for all inputs after any input has caused an interrupt.

User Interrupts (UI command)

The DMC-1700/1800 also provides 16 User Interrupts which can be sent by executing the command UIn to the DMC- 1700/1800, where n is an integer between 0 and 15. UI commands are useful in DMC programs to allow the application program communicate with a host application.

Servicing Interrupts

When an interrupt occurs, the motion controller provides a status byte to indicate which condition has occurred.
