MNEMONIC

FUNCTION

TYPE

A

Acceleration

Motion Variable

DESCRIPTION

The A Variable sets the peak acceleration that will be reached by the MDrive in steps per second2.

USAGE

FUNCTION

TYPE

BD

BAUD Rate

Setup Variable

DESCRIPTION

This variable sets the baud rate for serial communications with the MDrive. It sets the rate for the RS-485 interface. The baud rate is set by indicating the first two digits of the desired rate as shown in the range section below.

In order for the new BAUD rate to take effect, the user must issue the S (SAVE) instruction and then reset the MDrive. When the MDrive is reset, it will communicate at the new BAUD rate.

48 = 4800 bps, 96 = 9600 bps, 19 = 19200 bps, 38 = 38000 bps, 11 = 115200 bps

USAGE
