Remote Command Set 79
QM?
Description Motor type query.
Syntax xxQM?
Remarks This command is used to query the motor type of an axis.
It is important to note that the QM? command simply reports the present motor type
setting in memory. It does not perform a check to determine whether the setting is still
valid or corresponds with the motor connected at that instant.
If motors have been removed and reconnected to different controller channels or if this is
the first time, connecting this system then issuing the Motor Check (MC) command is
recommended. This will ensure an accurate QM? command response.
Argument Value Description
xx 1 to 4 Axis number
Response Value Description
nn Integer Motor type.
Example
1QM? (Get motor 1 motor type setting)
0 (Return 0; no motor connected)

QM, CM, ZZ
RS
Description Reset command
Syntax RS
Remarks This command performs a “soft” reset or reboot of the controller CPU. Upon restart the
controller reloads parameters (e.g., velocity and acceleration) last saved in non-volatile
memory and sets Home (DH) position to 0.
Note that upon executing this command, USB and Ethernet communication will be
interrupted for a few seconds while the controller re-initializes. Ethernet communication
may be significantly delayed (~30 seconds) in reconnecting depending on connection
mode (Peer-to-peer, static or dynamic IP mode) as the PC and controller are negotiating
TCP/IP communication.
