Distance Decimal Places
DistUnits.Decimal
This parameter is used to select the number of decimal places used in the DistUnits.CharacteristicDist. Using a high number
of decimal places will improve positioning resolution, but will also limit the maximum travel distance. The number of decimal
places set in this parameter determines the number of decimal places used in all distance parameters throughout the
software. You can select from zero to six decimal places of accuracy.
Distance Units Name
DistUnits.Name
This is a text variable which is used as the label for the distance/position user units. It can be up to 12 characters in length.
Drive Active
DriveActive
The DriveActive event, when active, indicates that the bridge on the drive is closed (drive is enabled). This parameter is read-
only, and is read directly from parameter 10.02 in the database. If/When a drive trip occurs, this parameter will deactivate
automatically.
Drive Enable Status
DriveEnableStatus
This source is active when the drive is enabled.
Drive Healthy
DriveHealthy
The Drive Healthy signal indicates that the drive is not in the trip state. This bit is active when no trip is active. On activation of
a drive trip, this signal will deactivate automatically. When the trip is cleared, Drive Healthy will activate again.
Drive Serial Number
DriveSerialNumber
This displays the serial number of the Drive to which EZMotion is attached.
Drive OK
Error.DriveOK
Active when there are no errors. Inactivated when any error or trip, except travel limits occur. Drive enable has no effect on this
event.
