'K' - Disable Drive Output (4Bh)
This command immediately sets the drive output on the module to the current null value. This is equivalent to
a Hard Stop. The output will remain at null until a new command is issued. When a 'K' command is issued
from DCS120 it is issued to all axes simultaneously. When issued from the Quantum PLC, it goes only to the
specified axis.
'M' - Set Mode (4Dh)
This commands sets the Mode to the value in the data register of the PLC or the COMMAND VALUE field in
DCS120.
'N' - Set Null (4Eh)
The 'N' command sets the Null Drive to the value in the data register of the PLC or the COMMAND VALUE
field in DCS120.
'n' - Null Drive Clear (6E)
The 'n' command sets the Null Drive to the current Integral Drive value.
'O' - Open Loop (4Fh)
CAUTION: Use this command with care! Open Loop operation disables all safety features on the MMC120!
The Open Loop command allows the Quantum Controller to directly specify values for the analog output. The
output range is -10000 to 10000 where -10000 is -10 volts and 10000 is +10 volts.
The O command uses the following parameters from the last open loop profile specified:
The COMMAND VALUE field specifies the amount of drive to be added to (or subtracted from) the current
null value.
The ACCELERATION and DECELERATION fields control the rate at which the drive output ramps to the
requested value. The ACCEL and DECEL parameters are in millivolts per millisecond.
To command the MMC120 to output 10% of negative drive you would enter -1000 in the COMMAND
VALUE field and 79 (O) in the COMMAND field. A '25' in the ACCELERATION field would cause the
module to ramp the output at 25 millivolts every millisecond, so the output would ramp to -1000 in 40
milliseconds.

'P' - Set Parameters (50h)
When a 'P' command is given all initialization parameters are updated . The minimum requirement of this
command is to set the Extend and Retract Limits to their proper values (see Start-Up and Tuning). When a 'P'
command is given, the MMC120 will copy the ACTUAL POSITION of the axis into the TARGET and
COMMAND POSITIONS.
'Q' - Quit Events (51h)
This command stops the event control sequence.
'R' - Restore Null (52h)
The Restore Null command restores the last saved value of null. This value will be 0 if no previous Save Null
was issued.
'r' - Restore Integral Drive (72h)
This command restores a previously saved Integral Drive value.
