BR
FUNCTION: Brush Axis
DESCRIPTION:
The BR command is used in conjunction with an AMP-430x0 to enable which axis will be set as
brush-type servo. The hall error bits are not set in the TA value when an axis is configured as
brush-type. The hall inputs are available for general use via the QH command.
ARGUMENTS: BR n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n where
n = 0 Brushless servo axis
n = 1 Brush-type servo axis
n = ? Returns the value of the axis
USAGE: DEFAULTS:
While Moving Yes Default Value 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

RELATED COMMANDS:
OE Off-On Error
TA Tell Amplifier
QH Hall State
EXAMPLE:
BR 1,0,0 Sets X-axis to brush-type, Y and Z to brushless
Note: If an axis has Off-On-Error(OE) set to 1, an amplifier error will occur if there are no halls and BR is
set to 0. With all axes that do not have halls sensors going to the controller and the D430x0 is installed, set
BR to 1 to avoid an amplifier error state. This includes running brushed motors with the D430x0, and
using external drives when a D430x0 is installed.
