MM4005 Feature Descriptions Tutorial
Stage Type Selection: SF Command or from the Front Panel
To select the configuration of a stage from the MM4005 database, the user
has two options: through the front panel ( → ) or
through the SF command. This command has the format:
xx
SF name
Where:
xx — Axis number.
name — Stage name (model), in ASCII format.
To read the selected stage model for an axis, use the xxSF? or xxTA com-
mands.
To allow the MM4005 to operate with non-standard stages or motors (not
included in the MM4005 firmware database), the following stage categories
are available:
• Translation: DEFAULT-PP-Tfor stepper motors.
DEFAULT-CC-Tfor DC motors.
• Rotation: DEFAULT-PP-R for stepper motors.
DEFAULT-CC-Rfor DC motors.
In the DEFAULT category, to allow the use of a larger selection of motors
and encoders, the encoder/motor resolution is extended to 10E
-6
.
Reading parameters with “?”
The MM4005 controller is using a complex set of command, that some
users will try to partially memorize. One way to reduce this effort is to com-
bine setting and reading parameter commands by using the “?” sign. Every
command that is setting a parameter can return the previously set value by
replacing the parameter with a question mark (?). This eliminates the need
for a separate set of query commands.
Example
1KP0.01 | Set the proportional gain factor (Kp) of axis #1 to 0.01.
1KP? | Read the proportional gain factor (Kp) of axis #1.
Current firmware version supports the “?” option for the following com-
mands:
AC, AD, AM, AS, AX, AY, BA, CD, CM, CS, EO, FA, FE, FF, FT, GQ, GR, KD,
KI, KP, KS, MH, NB, NE, NI, NN, NP, OH, PB, PE, PI, SF, SH, SL, SN, SP, SQ,
SR, SS, TM, VA, VS, VV, YS.
