Encoder Command Concept

Encoder Commands allow you to communicate with and control the operation of your encoder either
manually or through your custom written software that contains any combination of the commands detailed
in this section. All commands begin with a leading control code of <CTRL+A> or the ASCII hex code 01 for
developers writing software. All commands must end with a carriage return (the <ENTER> key on a keyboard
or 0D in ASCII hex). For manual entry of commands, the three following methods may be used. A Full
Command Reference may be found at the end of this section.
Telnet: Commands may be entered through a telnet connection to your encoder only after you've enabled
a telnet connection through your encoders web interface (select Telnet from the side menu)
Web Terminal: The Command Terminal is found on the web interface of your encoder (select Terminal from
the side menu). This emulates the serial port interface to your encoder and allows you to enter commands
directly from your encoders web interface (see figure 19).
RS-232: Commands may be entered through an RS-232 connection to your encoder. Default settings on the
encoder allow entry through RS-232 right out of the box.
