Host Command Reference
RL - Register Load - immediate
Compatibility: All drives
Affects:
All data registers
See also: RX, RI, RD, RM commands
Sets a data register to the given immediate data value. The data value is checked and stored as a Long word.
When setting a Short-word register with the given Long-word data value only the lower word of the Long value is
used.
Command Details:
Structure RL(Paramter #1){Parameter #2}
Type IMMEDIATE
Usage READ/WRITE
Non-Volatile NO
Register Access All data registers
Parameter Details:
Parameter #1 Data register assignment
- units character
- range All Read/Write and User-Defined data registers; Read-
Only data registers can be read back when Parameter #2
is not included
Parameter #2 Data register value
- units integer
- range +/- 2147483647 (long data registers)
+/- 32767 (short data registers)
Examples:
Command Drive sends Notes
RLA100 - Set acceleration register to 1000 rpm/s
RLA RLA=100 Return acceleration register value
When PR command Bit 5 is set
RL017100
- Set Acceleration register to 1000 rpm/s
RL017 RLA=100 Return acceleration register value
NOTE: When setting a register no pre-processing of the data value is performed. Data is set to the internal raw
value. For example, the internal raw acceleration value is in tens of rpm/s. See the “Data Register” section at
the beginning of this manual for more details on data register assignments and units.
Units Example:
AC10 means 10 rps/s
RLA10 means 10 * 10 rpm/s = 1.667 rps/s
Multiply the desired rps/s value times 6 to convert to the “raw” acceleration value
