Host Command Reference
shows the 16 bit assignments for the Alarm Code (which of course match the hexadecimal values above).
Example: The drive has hit the CW limit (bit 2), there is an under voltage condition (bit 6), and an encoder
wiring connection has been lost resulting in an encoder fault (bit 9). The resulting Alarm Code binary word is 0000
0010 0100 0100. The decimal equivalent of this word is 580, so the response from the drive to the RLf command
will be “RLf=580”.
Status Code Definitions
SC command
When a host sends the SC command, the response from the drive will be the Hexadecimal equivalent of
a 16-bit word. This hexadecimal value is considered the Status Code, and the hexadecimal value for each of
the bits in the Status Code is given below. When a host sends the SC command, the response from the drive
will actually be the Hexadecimal equivalent of this 16-bit word. This hexadecimal value is considered the Status
Code, and the equivalent hexadecimal value for each of the bits is given below.
Hex Value Status Code bit definition
0001 Motor Enabled (Motor Disabled if this bit = 0)
0002 Sampling (for Quick Tuner)
0004 Drive Fault (check Alarm Code)
0008 In Position (motor is in position)
0010 Moving (motor is moving)
0020 Jogging (currently in jog mode)
0040 Stopping (in the process of stopping from a stop command)
0080 Waiting for an input (executing WI command)
0100 Saving (parameter data is being saved)
0200 Alarm present (check Alarm Code)
0400 Homing (executing an SH command)
0800 Wait Time (executing a WT command)
