Resolution
ASCII: PGEARI (numerator)
Default: 10000 valid for OPMODE 8
ASCII: PGEARO (denominator)
Default: 1 valid for OPMODE 8
The entry for the resolution of the motion tasks is in µm/Revolution. The resolution can be defined at will,
through the entries for the numerator/denominator.
Make changes only while the amplifier is disabled + reset.
Examples:
An entry of 10000/1 produces a resolution of 10 mm/turn
An entry of 10000/3 produces a resolution of 3.333
mm/turn
Rotary table with geared motor, i = 31 (31 motor turns for one turn of the table)
– The entry 360/31 provides operation with position entries in degrees, without rounding off.
The maximum range of movement is limited to +/- 2047 motor turns. If a larger range (+/- 32767) is required,
please consult our applications department.

Opens the graphical motion tasking.
Graphical motion tasking is an advanced feature that lets you easily edit motion tasks with its graphical
interface. You can command multiple motions, process I/O, make decisions, add time delays and modify drive
process variables. The environment is easy to use, allowing you to program in an intuitive flow-chart.
Motion tasking has been supported by the amplifier since the product was introduced in 1998. In its original
form, motion tasking supported only chained moves in sequences executed either once or in infinite loops.
Graphical motion tasking extends the capabilities of moiton tasking by adding looping, comparing (<, =, >, etc.),
calling functions and setting process variables.
