Coordinated Motion With More Than 1 Axis; Program Syntax; Controller Response To Data - Galil Motion Control DMC-1000 User Manual

PRX=1000
ACY=200000
Instead of data, some commands request action to occur on an axis or group of axes. For example, ST
XY stops motion on both the X and Y axes. Commas are not required in this case since the particular
axis is specified by the appropriate letter X Y Z or W. If no parameters follow the instruction, action
will take place on all axes. Here are some examples of syntax for requesting action:
BG X
BG Y
BG XYZW
BG YW
BG
For controllers with 5 or more axes, the axes are referred to as A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. The specifiers
1080
X,Y,Z,W and A,B,C,D may be used interchangeably:
BG ABCDEFGH
BG D
When requesting action for coordinated motion, the letter S is used to specify the coordinated motion.
For example:
BG S
BG SW
Chapter 7 explains the how to write and execute motion control programs.

Controller Response to DATA

The DMC-1000 returns a : for valid commands.
The DMC-1000 returns a ? for invalid commands.
For example, if the command BG is sent in lower case, the DMC-1000 will return a ?.
:bg <enter>
?
When the controller receives an invalid command the user can request the error code. The error code
will specify the reason for the invalid command response. To request the error code type the
command: TC1 For example:
