PM – Power on Mode
Sets or requests power on mode. 1=autodetect. 2=SCL mode only. Set to 1 if you plan to use the
drive with the
Si Programmer™ .
Note: RS485 drives do not work with the Si Programmer™ software.
Example:
You send
Drive sends Notes
PM1 nothing drive is set to auto detect host at power on
PM2 nothing drive is set for SCL mode at power on
PM PM=2
PS – Pause
Suspends execution of buffered commands until the next CT command. Useful for coordinating mo-
tion among axes by sending commands to each, while paused, then resuming all drives at once. Also
can be used to suspend the operation of a machine.
RA - Read Analog
Requests the voltage on the AIN (analog input) pin. Range is 0 to 5 volts. Resolution is 10 bits. This
is a buffered command, so it will wait for other buffered commands such as moves to be completed
before responding. For an immediate reading, use IA.
RS – Request Status
Asks the drive to tell you what its doing. Responses are:
M = motion in progress
W = wait input command executing
T = wait time command executing
E = servo positioning fault (drive must be reset by interrupting power to clear this fault)
R = ready (none of the above happening)
RV – Revision Level
Asks the drive what firmware it has in it.
Example:
You send
Drive sends Notes
RV RV=150 drive has firmware version 1.50
SA – Save All
Saves the present values of AC, AM, BR, DC, DE, DI, DL, ED, EF, ER, JA, JS, MR, VC and VE as the
new power on defaults.
Only available on 1240i, 3540i and Si2035. Requires firmware version 2.23A or later.
Notes: use caution when using the SA command when BR has been changed. Drives willl only
communicate with the Si Programmer software when BR=1 and PM=1. If BR has been changed, be
sure to change the bit rate setting of the SCL Utility to match.
