MM4005 Introduction
1.3.3.2 REMOTE Mode
To operate in REMOTE mode, the controller must be connected through one
of its interfaces (RS-232-C or IEEE-488) to a computer or terminal. In this
mode, all commands are received remotely and the controller executes them
as directed. The MM4005 command language consists of 129 commands
which are described in chapter 3.
Fig. 1.5 — The functions available in REMOTE mode.
The functions available in REMOTE mode are similar to the ones in LOCAL
mode. The main difference is that the MOTOR / MOTOR cases
are handled by the command interpreter so there is no need to distinguish
between them. The controller will refuse to execute motion commands
when the motors are turned off and will set the appropriate error flag.
Another difference between LOCAL and REMOTE is that the mode
is not available remotely. Some SETUP parameters can be changed but the
controller cannot be placed remotely into a setup mode.
PROGRAMMING mode is enabled and disabled by specific commands. All
valid commands sent in this mode are not executed immediately but stored
as part of a motion program.
MOTION is a general mode of operation in which an axis is commanded to
move. The most complex motions result from program execution. Other
types of motion include manual JOG and a point-to-point MOVE.
HOME Search mode has the same meaning and functionality as in LOCAL
mode. A home search cycle should not be interrupted. The controller will
exit this mode automatically on task completion.
1.3.3.3 Immediate Mode
This is not an operating mode in which the controller can be placed.
Rather, the term merely differentiates the way the controller responds to
remote commands. If a command is not being sent as part of a program, it
is executed “immediately” in immediate mode.
1.3.3.4 Remote Commands In LOCAL Mode
The controller may be operated in LOCAL mode when connected to a
remote computer. The LOCAL mode has many screen and menu combina-
tions and most REMOTE commands are ignored when not received at the
top level menu. For this reason, always keep in mind the following recom-
mendations:
• In LOCAL mode, avoid sending REMOTE commands when not at the top
menu level.
• When not at the LOCAL mode top menu level, restrict the use of remote
commands to those that read information or stop motion.
• Do not send REMOTE commands when in LOCAL PROGRAMMING or
SETUP modes.
