350 Status Blocks
When you select DH-485 Link in the Configure Control Options dialog
box, serial port B on the motion controller is used for DH-485
communication and the normal built-in operator interface functions of
GML Commander and the motion controllers are unavailable. The Status
blocks may still be used for troubleshooting, however, if you select serial
port A for the operator interface. See Configuring Your Axis chapter in
this manual and the Setup section of the Installation and Setup manual for
your motion controller for more information on selecting the operator
interface serial port.
Show Axis Position
Use the Show Axis Position block to send the selected current position
type of the selected axis to the operator interface serial port.
The Show Axis Position block resides on the Main Palette.
Show Axis Status
Use the Show Axis Status block to send the current status of the selected
axis to the operator interface serial port.
The Show Axis Status block resides on the Main Palette.
The Show Axis Status block sends the current status of the selected axis
to the operator interface serial port. See Configuring Your Axis in this
manual for information on configuring axes.
GML Commander displays the current status of the selected axis as a
numerical status value according to the following table. The table also
shows the corresponding message that appears in an axis status field in
the runtime display (if enabled). See Configure Auto Display in this
manual for information on defining the runtime display.
