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.
