MM4005 NI — Set step (curvi-linear distance)
between synchronisation pulses
Usage IMM PGM MIP
Syntax NInn or NI?
Parameters
Description nn
[long] — New value of step between pulses.
? — Read step.
Range nn — ≥2 * Max {X and Y axis encoder resolution}.
Units nn
— Current unit.
Defaults nn 0 or missing: NO pulse is generated.
Out of range: Error C.
Description This command sets the value of step between pulses to generate between
the elements defined by NB and NE. If nn is default or zero, the generation
of pulses of synchronisation is disabled.
This value of NI will be reexamined in ET command.
NOTE
Because NI and NN are complement commands, the last entered NI com-
mand value replaces all of precedently entered NI or NN commands’ one.
Returns
If the sign “?” takes place of the nn value, this command reportes the step
between synchronisation pulses to generate. 0 means that no pulse is gen-
erated.
Errors A — Unknown message code.
B — Incorrect axis number.
C — Parameter out of limits.
D — Unauthorized execution.
Rel. Commands NB —
Set trajectory element where the generation of pulses starts.
NE — Set trajectory element where the generation of pulses ends.
NN — Set number of synchronisation pulses to generate.
Example NI0.5 | Set step between pulses to 0.5 unit.
NI? | Read number of pulses to generate.
NI0.5 | Controller tells the value.
