■ GSC-01 ■ User’s Manual Chapter 3: Using GSC-01 6. Using a PC to Position Motorized Stage This controller receives controlling commands from PC or an external control device via a RS232C to realize desired operations. This controller follows the command system from the SHOT series. Part of functions of the system has been extended. To send a controlling command to this control- ler from an external device, specified command codes and parameters should be followed by the terminator characters (CR + LF). This controller sends strings and the terminator characters (CR + LF) to return the execution results and requested values for a command sent from an external device. Command codes and parameters given to this controller are not case-sensitive. This con- troller always returns answers and results in upper-case. The commands prepared for this controller are roughly categorized as the following two groups: a) SHOT series compatible commands b) SHOT series extended commands 6-1. SHOT Series Compatible Commands The following commands for this controller are compatible with the command system of the SHOT series. Command Character Return to Mechanical Origin H: Set Relative Move pulse count M:...

SHOT Series Compatible Commands (1) H command: Return to Mechanical Origin ・Features: T his command is used to detect the mechanical origin for a stage and set that position as the origin. The moving speed S: 500pps, F: 5000pps, R: 200mS. Running a stop command during the homing operation suspends the operation. Limit sensor’ s detection unplanned in the sequence during the homing operation suspends the operation. Any commands except the stop command or checking command are not acceptable dur- ing the homing operation.

■ GSC-01 ■ User ’s M a nual (4) J command: JOG Command ・Features: S et jog operation for the stage. This device runs this command and then runs the driving com- mand to drive the actual stage. The stage moves at a preset jog speed without acceleration/ deceleration. The jog speed is set in the ‘JOG Speed Set’ command. When stop this, stop by L command. (When there is not L command, move to Limit sensor and stop in Limit sensor). Running a different moving command (M command, etc) without running the driving com- mand cancels this command. While motor-free, running this command causes a com- mand error.

Specifying an offset with this command inserts a move by an equal dis- tance to the offset value after the homing operation. When the offset move finishes, the position reached replaces the origin position. The offset of origin is effective only for the homing operation in MINI system. If Center system is selected for the homing operation, the value set in this command is ignored.
