Appendix B: Command Field Reference

MODE

Default: 00000

Nine bits in the MODE word determine the way the motion controller responds to control

commands and parameters. Bit 1 is the MSB and bit 16 is the LSB.

Bit 1 - Graph Disable

When this bit is set for an axis, the controller will not log graph data during the move.

This is useful for troubleshooting long sequences of moves.

Bit 9 - S-Curve

When this bit is set the module controller calculates an s-shaped target, resulting in

smoother motion with more gradual starts and stops and higher peak speeds. In an s-

curve move, the maximum acceleration is 1.53 times the straight-line acceleration (used

by a trapezoidal motion profile). If another move command is given before the s-curve is

finished, there may be a discontinuity (jerk) at the transition.

Bit 11 - Quick Mode

When this bit is set, a move will ramp the drive up in Open Loop mode to the value

specified (in millivolts) in the

SPEED

field and maintain it there until it reaches the

deceleration point. It will then ramp down to the requested position (specified by the

COMMAND VALUE

) in Closed Loop mode. The

ACCELERATION

and

DECELERATION

fields specify the ramp based on MODE bits 15 and 16.

For this mode to work properly the

EXTEND FEED FORWARD

and

RETRACT FEED

FORWARD

parameters should be adjusted correctly. They are use to calculate the drive
