Host Command Reference
DI - Distance/Position
Compatibility: All drives
Affects:
All move commands
See also: AC, DC, DE and VE commands
Sets or requests the move distance in encoder counts (servo) or steps (stepper). The sign of DI indicates move
direction: no sign means CW and “-” means CCW. DI sets both the distance for relative moves, like FL, and the
position for absolute moves, like FP. DI also sets the direction of rotation for jogging (CJ).
Command Details:
Structure DI{Parameter #1}
Type BUFFERED
Usage READ/WRITE
Non-Volatile YES
Register Access “D” (020)
Parameter Details:
Parameter #1 distance
- units encoder counts (servo) or steps (stepper)
- range -2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,647
sign determines direction: “-” for CCW, no sign for CW
