machine. Specifying a
negative traverse angle yields
clockwise motion in the
Cartesian coordinate system.
positive X circle and a half positive,
half negative Y. Similarly, 90° is an
entirely negative Y circle, 180°
entirely positive Y, with both having
X half positive, half negative.
CS
Clear Sequence
Clears Memory of prior coordinated sequences.
DC
Deceleration for independent
moves. The units are in counts
per second².
DC*=100000 (sets all axes),
DCX=100000 (only sets the X axis
deceleration), DC
10000,30000,40000 (sets X, Y and
Z Decelerations separately).
The higher the deceleration, the
faster an axis stops its move.
DE
Dual (Auxiliary) Encoder Position
DL
Download. This transfers a text
file from the computer to the
controller.
DL (then select a text file to
download).
Use the HX (halt execution)
command before using DL.
Damage may result otherwise.
EN
End. This terminates a subroutine,
program thread or program.
EN
The Dispensing System also
has a subroutine used for a
conditional end.The command
JP#NOOP operates the same as
the EN command.
FL Forward
Software
Limit
HX
Halt execution. Halts the execution
of the program or any of its
threads.
HX1 (halt thread 1), HX (halt
the entire program).
Always use the HX command
before executing a DL
command.
JG Jog
JP
Jump to a program location.
Locations are marked by labels.
This command can be used in a
conditional statement and the jump
occurs if the conditional is true.
JP#NOOP (jump to location
#NOOP),
JP#NOOP,COUNT>10 (jump
to location #NOOP if the value
of COUNT exceeds 10).
It is important not to confuse
JP with JS. Using a JP when a
JS is required results in the
thread being halted once the
EN command is reached.
JS
Jump to subroutine. Subroutines
are marked by labels.
JS#H1UP (jump to subroutine
#H1UP).
It is important not to confuse
JS with JP. Using a JS when a
JP is required can result in
“nesting” the program
continuously until a nesting
error occurs. Subroutines can
only be nested 16 deep.
LI
Linear Interpolation Distance
LM
Linear Interpolation Mode
LS
List. The operator can list a single
line or multiple lines of the
program in a terminal screen.
LS 300,0 (show line 300), LS
250,270 (show lines 250 to
270), LS (show all lines in
memory).
If a runtime error occurs, use
the LS command in the
terminal screen to check the
line containing the error.
MG Message. This command sends
data out the bus. It can also be
used by the operator to query the
controller for information.
MG “Path Complete” (displays
the message “Path Complete”
on the terminal screen),
MG@IN[60] (displays the
value of input 60, where 0 is on
and 1 is off).
Do not put message commands
in programs! If there are
message commands, and there
is no computer attached to the
Dispensing System, the
controller halts once the output
