A003

Reset motor control executed

Parameter: None

The motor control is reset to its default condition. This aborts the motor movement and resets
the current coordinates to 0,0,0. Each drive may have an offset of up to 10 µm. This command
can be executed at any time.

Parameter: None

A004

Ready for remote control commands

C006 GOTO position in microsteps

Parameter: px py pz vx vy vz

A006

All motors stopped

Parameter: End position

The manipulator moves on all three axes at the pre-set speed to the pre-set position. To specify
no movement on one axis, the speed 0 is transmitted. The checkback is sent as soon as all
motors are stopped because either the target position has been reached or a limit switch has
been tripped. The reply indicates the status of the limit switches. If the positioning was
successful this value is 0. All entries are in microsteps. This command can only be executed
when the remote control is operative.

C007 GOTO position in micrometres

Parameter: Px Py Pz Vx Vy Vz

A007

All motors stopped

Parameter: End position

The manipulator moves on all three axes at the pre-set speed to the pre-set position. To specify
no movement on one axis, the speed 0 is transmitted. The checkback is sent as soon as all
motors are stopped because either the destination position has been reached or a limit switch
has been tripped. The reply indicates the status of the limit switches. If the positioning was
successful this value is 0. All entries are in micrometres.
This command can only be executed when the remote control is operative.
