Registers
The Bus interface of the control device has several registers available. By transmitting the
register name, the register is made the current register. If the device is addressed as
TALKER, it outputs the contents of the register set.
If a value has been loaded previously with LD, it is accepted into the next following register.
Input Registers
These registers can be assigned a value with the LD command. They can be readout when
the register name is received and the control unit is then addressed as TALKER.
WL - Wise Limit cannot be larger than 400°.
CL - Counter-clockwise Limit cannot be smaller than -200°.
NP - Next Position. Set point for the GO command.
