MNEMONIC

FUNCTION

TYPE

HM

Home to Home Switch Variable

Setup Variable

DESCRIPTION

This instruction will find the selected I/O switch. There are four types for this command:

1)Speed (S): Specifies the direction and speed that the axis will move until the switch is activated (VM).

2)Creep (C): Specifies the direction and speed that the axis will move off the switch until it becomes inactive again (VI).

When HM is executed, the axis moves in the direction specified by the sign of speed at VM. It then creeps off of the switch in the direction specified by the sign of creep at VI. Motion is stopped as soon as the switch becomes deactivated.

USAGE

TYPES

 

HM=<type>

1: S- C+, 2: S- C-, 3: S+ C-, 4: S+ C+

 

 

 

 

EXAMPLE:

 

 

HM=3

‘Find home switch at VM in the plus direction, Creep off at VI in the minus direction

 

 

RELATED COMMANDS: VM, VI, S1-S4

 

 

 

 

MNEMONIC

FUNCTION

TYPE

HT

Hold Current Delay Time

Setup Variable

DESCRIPTION

The HT variable sets the delay time in milliseconds between the cessation of motion and when the MDrive Motion Control shifts to the holding current level specified by the HC (Motor Holding Current) variable. The delay time is also effected by the MT (Motor Settling Delay Time) variable in that the total time from motion ceasing to current change is represented by the sum of MT + HT

USAGE

UNITS

RANGE

DEFAULT

HT=<time>

milliseconds

0 to 65000

500

 

 

 

 

EXAMPLE:

 

 

 

HT=1500

‘Set hold current delay time to 1.5 seconds

 

RELATED COMMANDS: HC, MT, RC

MNEMONIC

FUNCTION

TYPE

I1 - I4

Read Input

I/O Variable

DESCRIPTION

This variable will read the state of the specified input 1 - 4. Can be used with PR (Print), BR (Branch) and Cl (Call Subroutine) instructions. Can also be used with Ri-R4 and User Variables.

USAGE

PR I<1-4>

BR <addr>, I<1-4>=<1/0>

CL <addr>, I<1-4>=<1/0>

EXAMPLE:

 

PR I2

‘Print the state of Input 2 to the Terminal Screen

BR 128, I3=1

‘Conditional branch to program line 128 if Input 3 = 1

CL 432, I4=0

‘Call subroutine at line 432 if Input 4 = 0

RELATED COMMANDS: IN, O1-O4, PR, S1-S4
