Operation & Software Manual
Direct Drives & Systems 161
If for any kind of reason, one of the axis cannot execute the movement started by STI within the
time defined in parameter K164 (because another movement is being realized, eg.), all controllers
switch to error mode and the SYNCHRO START error (M64=63) is displayed on the LCD screen
of this axis. This will never happen with the STA command, where each available axis immediately
executes the movement and the others do it as soon as they can.
13.3.5.1 DIN and DOUT with the STI command
With command STI, the synchronized start of the movements on one or several axis depends on the status (0/
I) of one or several DIN(s). They are defined by parameters K160 and K161.
When a synchronized movement starts on one or several axis with command STI, one or several DOUT(s) are
set or reset (I/0). They are defined by parameters K162 and K163.
K160 and K161: DIN mask and status
Remark: Parameter K160 is always >
K161
The controller's DINs are represented by a mask of bits, to be used with the STI command. The number of
digital inputs is different from a position controller to another. Here is a table giving the number of digital inputs
present on each position controller (refer to the corresponding ’Hardware Manual’ for more information):
Caution: On the DSCDM, the digital inputs and outputs are on the same pin. The pin must be selected in
order to have an input or an output. It is NOT possible to have both on the same pin. To
use a pin as a digital input, the bit corresponding to this input MUST be equal to 0 in parameter
K171 (otherwise the hardware of the controller and the one of the user can be damaged).
Example:
K160.1 = 513 ;513 = (1 + 512) means that the inputs DIN1(=1, bit# 0) and DIN10 (= 512, bit# 9) will
be tested to execute a STI command
K161.1 = 512 ;the movement will start when DIN1 = 0 and DIN10 = 1 (bit# 9, value 512)
K162 and K163: DOUT mask and status
Remark: Parameter
K162 is always > K163
