Moving Axes Simultaneously
Axes can be moved simultaneously with DCS120. When you set the sync bit (bit 12) in the MODE word on both axes,
the axes will only respond to G (go) commands when the last axis is given a command. This allows you to configure
both axes with requested positions then make them move in unison.
Table Editors
Three Table Editors are available in DCS120. They are used to modify files containing information for the operation of
the Motion Control Module. The Table Editors are:
•
Function Key Editor (Ctrl-F).
•
Profiles Editor (Ctrl-P).
•
Event Steps Editor (Ctrl-S).
The Table Editors use commands similar to those used in an Excel spreadsheet:
Shift+Arrow keys highlight the work-area to be edited.
End, Home and Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen.
Ctrl-C stores a highlighted area in the buffer for pasting.
Ctrl-S will save the table to disk.
Ctrl-R will read the table from disk.
Ctrl-X deletes the selection and stores it in the buffer for pasting.
Ctrl-V pastes the contents of the buffer into the work area.
In addition the following commands are available in the Event Steps Table Editor:
Ctrl-G will move the cursor to the next step in the chain.
Ctrl-Z will zero the entire Step Table
Alt-S will save the Event Steps to the module.
Alt-R will read the Event Steps from the module.
