Anaheim PROGRAMMABLE SIMPLE INDEXER/DRIVER MBC10SI1 - Manual (Page 15)

Direct mode is used to directly control the motion for real time movements through serial communication.
The indexer has 14 commands which are easy to remember for direct movement of a step motor.

Unit Selection
In order to select a unit the @ command followed by 0 (address of the unit) must be sent.
NOTE: There should be no spaces between the @ and the 0.
How to select the unit:
@0 (Unit is selected)
How to get a response from the unit:
@0$ (Carriage Return)
After the $ command, the indexer will return a SMSI20 + the current version number.
Note: In direct talk mode each command is followed by a carriage return.
The unit communicates in half duplex mode, therefore proper setup of hyper terminal is necessary to view
characters, if characters are to be echoed back to the screen.
Instructions
All instructions require that no spaces be sent between the command and the parameter followed by a
carriage return. The commands are also case sensitive and are all sent as capitals.
