MM4005
Feature Descriptions Tutorial
Joystick
The MM4005 lets you use a joystick to manually manipulate axes remotely.
The MM4005 joystick has four buttons: MOT. ON, MOT. OFF, ORIG, MANU.,
three slide switches PX, PY, PXY, two LEDs L1, L2 and a two-dimensional
potentiometer PO. The joystick is connected to the MM4005 via the 15-pin
D-Sub remote control output (the joystick connector replaces the 15-pin
D-Sub short circuit connector on the rear panel of the MM4005).

PO
The potentiometer to manipulate one or two axes simultaneously. The
further the potentiometer is moved from its center the more rapidly the
axis/axes move.
PX
Slide switch to reverse the X axis direction.
PY
Slide switch to reverse the Y axis direction.
PXY
Slide switch to exchange the X and Y axes directions.
ORIG.
Button to start an origin search cycle.
MANU.
Button to select two axes that will be linked to the action of the joystick.
•
Initial state:
No axis is chosen (LED
L1
and
L2
are off).
If the button is pressed, the joystick goes to state 1.
•
State 1:
Axes 1 and 2 are chosen (LED
L1
is on).
If the button is pressed again, the joystick goes to state 2.
•
State 2:
Axes 3 and 4 are chosen (LED
L2
is on). If the button
is pressed, the joystick returns to the initial state (the
LEDs are off).
MOT. OFF
Equivalent to the MOTOR
button on the MM4005.
MOT. ON
Equivalent to the MOTOR
button on the MM4005.
The corresponding messages are displayed when the joystick goes to state
1 (axes 1 and 2) and state 2 (axes 3 and 4). In state 1 or 2, the potentiome-
ter can be used to manipulate the axes.
NOTE
In remote mode (MR command), using of the joystick is not permitted by
default. To use it in remote mode, send MC command after MR command.
