DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The IDENT command gets (reads) and sets the identification value for a SmartMotor. It
doesn’t have any effect on the motor — it’s just a non-volatile ID that is preserved between
power cycles. It allows a SmartMotor's user program to self-detect its designated purpose
according to the programmer's setting of IDENT on that motor.
l
x=IDENT
Get the IDENT value and assign it to the variable x.
l
IDENT=formula
Set IDENTequal to the value of the formula.
The value of IDENTcan be reported with the RIDENTcommand.
EXAMPLE:
In the following example, the programmer has three motors on the machine. He wants to load
the same user program in all motors but have each motor do certain operations based on its
IDENTvalue. That part of the program could look like this:
IF IDENT=1
' Do the motor 1 operation - motors 2 and 3 ignore this.
