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.
C004 Switch to remote control
Parameter: None
A004
Ready for remote control commands
Parameter: None
All current movements are stopped and local joystick and keypad operation is disabled. The
checkback is sent as soon as all motors are stopped and positioning is possible via the serial
port. This command can be executed at any time.

Parameter: None
All current movements are stopped and local joystick and keypad operation is enabled. The
checkback is sent as soon as all motors are stopped and positioning is possible via the joystick.
This command can be executed at any time.
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.
