Command Line Creation
Start by first looking at the options offered for the simple command line.
There are nine different types of commands available. They are separated
in four different screens:
This menu level is the Line Entry menu.
The actual commands are on the first three menus. The fourth is used to
accept and terminate the line entry by pressing the VALID k e y or to abort
the current line being worked on by pressing QUIT . The last function key
of each screen, NEXT , and advances the display to the next menu. It can
be viewed as the scrolling key. When the NEXT k e y is pressed on the last
screen, the display returns to the first menu of the group.
The nine available program functions can be entered b y pressing the
appropriate function key in the menu and have the following meanings:
ABSOL. S t a r t an absolute point-to-point motion.
When this key is pressed, the controller asks for the axis number the
motion is to be performed on. Use the keypad to enter a valid axis number.
If 0 is entered, the controller will assume that you want to perform a simul-
taneous motion on all axis.
Pressing ' v A u . will cause the screen to display the usual position infor-
mation for all four axes. The ▶ symbol appears for the first axis and the
user can enter the desired destination for it. Press VALID t o accept the
entry and advance the ▶ symbol to the next axis. If a single axis was select-
ed or the entry is made on the last axis, the command is stored and the dis-
play returns to the Line Entry menu.
Command generated
PA — M o v e to absolute position.
A simultaneous motion is not a synchronous, a linear interpolated
motion. The motion is not truly synchronized, because there are one or
more servo cycles delay between axes. For most applications this causes
an imperceptible error.
RELA T . S t a r t a relative point-to-point motion.
When this key is pressed, the controller asks for the axis number the
motion is to be performed on. Use the keypad to enter a valid axis number.
If 0 is entered, the controller will assume that you want to perform a simul-
taneous motion on all axis.
Pressing :yAum- will cause the screen to display the usual position infor-
mation for all four axes. The ▶ symbol appears for the first axis and the
user can enter the desired relative travel for it. Press VALID t o accept the
entry. If a single axis was selected or the entry is made on the last axis, the
command is stored and the display returns to the Line Entry menu.
