Description
Use this object to select the serial ports for specific needs. The
choices are:
Remote, Terminal, Printer, Barcode, ExtDev, VICI-Vlv (for serial
valve drives), or None.
In the class Motors the object Motor-Y is accessible in order to
select the items Strategy and Path Speed.
Three different settings are selectable for the Y-Motor movement
strategy:
• Rectang = normal movement as used for PAL System.
(On firmware level < 4.1.x, this mode was called Auto.)
XY-Simul = x, y axes move simultaneously, which allow
movement in a diagonal direction.
(At firmware level < 4.1.x this mode was called Rectang, but it
was not active at lower levels.)
• Retract = y axis moves from any point first to zero Y (back to
the x axis) before the X-movement is started. This mode
allows bypassing an object (such as a large GC detector),
which might be in the travel path if using the default mode
Rectang.
• Path Speed = y-axis motor speed in conjunction with a Path,
example: Opening and closing a drawer of a Stack. In certain
situations you will need to slow down the speed to open and
close a drawer. A typical application example is fraction
collection, collecting directly into a well plate. If the liquid
level is high, the liquid can wash over into the next row if
drawer movement is too fast.
Remark: At PAL Firmware level 4.1.x, these items of the Y motor
have been made available at the Extended User Level.
