Control Parameters Control Parameters allow you to enter data that is unique
to your system (e.g., encoder resolution, Lead to Follower
ratios) and modify the M–Traverse for your specific needs
(e.g., maximum RPMs, setpoints, acceleration/deceleration
ramp rates). There are Control Parameters for Direct
mode, the Follower mode, Jog, Tuning, and Output Con-
trol. The M–Traverse comes factory pre-loaded with a
complete set of default Control Parameters.
Control State See Appendix C; MV-52.
Communications Error See Appendix C; MV-74.
DAC Output See Appendix C; MV-47.
Data Inquiry Use the Data Inquiry to request the current value for
Parameters (i.e., Control Parameters or Monitor Variables)

Dedicated Keys The “Setpoint ” , “Tach” , “Batch Count” and “Status” keys
are shortcut keys that access the active Setpoint , Tach,
Batch Count and Status variables directly, rather than
manually entering the Code Parameter.
Device Address See Appendix C; CP-70.
Digital Motor Controller A precision motor controller that uses digital compensation
technology.
Direct Analog Command See Appendix C; CP-62.
Direct Mode In the Direct mode of operation, the analog output from the
M-Traverse that is connected to the motor drive can be set
directly. Direct mode is an open-loop mode of operation.
Scaling, Acceleration/Deceleration, and Closed Loop
Compensation (PI) software are not involved in the Direct
mode. The Direct mode is used in conjunction with the
Run and F-Stop controls
