AL (Arm Latch)

[Setting]

DESCRIPTION:

The AL command enables the latching function (high speed position capture) of the controller. When the
AL command is used to arm the position latch, the encoder position of the main encoder input will be
captured upon a low going signal on Input 1. When interrogated or used in an operand the AL command will
return a 1 if the latch is armed or a zero after the latch has occurred. The command RL returns the captured
position value. The CN command will change the polarity of the latch.

ARGUMENTS: ALn

where

n = XYZW or ABCDEFGH for the main encoder latch and

n = SX, SY, SZ, SW or SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH for the auxiliary encoder latch
