Example - Input Interrupt
Instruction Interpretation
#A
Label #A
II 1
Enable input 1 for interrupt function
JG 30000,-20000
Set speeds on A and B axes
BG AB
Begin motion on A and B axes
#B
Label #B
TP AB
Report A and B axes positions
WT 1000
Wait 1000 milliseconds
JP #B
Jump to #B
EN
End of program
#ININT
Interrupt subroutine
MG "Interrupt has occurred"
Displays the message
ST AB
Stops motion on A and B axes
#LOOP;JP #LOOP,@IN[1]=0
Loop until Interrupt cleared
JG 15000,10000
Specify new speeds
WT 300
Wait 300 milliseconds
BG AB
Begin motion on A and B axes
RI
Return from Interrupt subroutine
Jumping back to main program with #ININT
To jump back to the main program using the JP command, the RI command must be issued in a subroutine and
then the ZS command must be issued prior to the JP command. See Application Note # 2418 for more information.

Analog Inputs
The DMC-40x0 provides eight analog inputs. The value of these inputs in volts may be read using the @AN[n]
function where n is the analog input 1 through 8. The resolution of the Analog-to-Digital conversion is 12 bits (16-
bit ADC is available as an option). Analog inputs are useful for reading special sensors such as temperature, tension
or pressure.
The following examples show programs which cause the motor to follow an analog signal. The first example is a
point-to-point move. The second example shows a continuous move.
Example - Position Follower (Point-to-Point)
Objective - The motor must follow an analog signal. When the analog signal varies by 10V, motor must move
10000 counts.
Method: Read the analog input and command A to move to that point.

Example - Position Follower (Continuous Move)
Method: Read the analog input, compute the commanded position and the position error. Command the motor to
run at a speed in proportions to the position error.
