Appendix D: Status Field Reference
D-15
Quick moves are initiated using the Go (G and g) command with the Quick Move mode bit set. The
state bits indicate the current stage of the move:
Bit #
5
4
Description
0
0
The move is complete.
0
1
The drive is increasing to the requested drive.
1
0
The drive is holding at the requested drive.
1
1
The target is ramping down in closed loop.
Geared Moves
Geared moves are issued using the Go (G and g) command with the Gear mode bit set. The state
bits are defined as follows to reflect the state of the gear ratio:
Bit #
5
4
Description
0
0
The gear ratio is at the requested gear ratio, which is zero (gears
disengaged).
0
1
The gear ratio is increasing away from zero (clutching in to gear).
1
0
The gear ratio is at the requested gear ratio, which is non-zero (gears
engaged).
1
1
The gear ratio is decreasing toward zero (clutching out of gear).
Speed Control
Speed Control commands are issued through the Go (G and g) command with the Rotational mode
bit set. The state bits reflect the state of the Target Speed:
Bit #
5
4
Description
0
0
The Target Speed is at the requested speed, which is zero (0).
0
1
The Target Speed is increasing away from zero.
1
0
The Target Speed is at the requested speed, which is non-zero.
1
1
The Target Speed is decreasing toward zero.
Open Loop
Open Loop (O) commands cause the drive to ramp to a specific voltage. The state bits reflect the
change in the output voltage:
Bit #
5
4
Description
0
0
The drive is at the requested drive, which is zero (0).
0
1
The drive is increasing away from zero.
1
0
The drive is at the requested drive, which is non-zero.
1
1
The drive is decreasing toward zero.
