QM?
Motor type query.
Description
xxQM?
Syntax
This command is used to query the motor type of an axis.
Remarks
It is important to note that the QM? command simply reports the present motor type setting in
memory. It does not perform a check to determine whether the setting is still valid or
corresponds with the motor connected at that instant.
If motors have been removed and reconnected to different controller channels or if this is the
first time, connecting this system then issuing the Motor Check (MC) command is
recommended. This will ensure an accurate QM? command response.

Note that upon executing this command, USB and Ethernet communication will be interrupted
for a few seconds while the controller re-initializes. Ethernet communication may be
significantly delayed (~30 seconds) in reconnecting depending on connection mode (Peer-to-
peer, static or dynamic IP mode) as the PC and controller are negotiating TCP/IP
communication.
