6.3.5. RS-232C Communication Positioning Operation
Positioning may be executed directly via RS-232C communication.
The commands and parameters related to the positioning operations are listed in “Table 6-5: Positioning
command and parameter” and the commands and parameters unique to RS-232C communication
positioning are listed in “Table 6-12: Command and parameter related to the RS-232C communication
positioning” below. Refer to “9. Details of Command and Parameter” for details.
Refer to “8.9. RS-232C Communication” for the detail of the way of communication.
Table 6-12: Command and parameter related to the RS-232C communication positioning
Starts a program
operation.
Changes readout mode of
program lines.
0: Does not wait for an input of the key for multiple
line readout.
1: Wait for an input of the key for multiple line
readout.
Sets the parameter backup
function.
0: Backups the parameters on the EEROM.
1: Nullifies the backup function.
Reports completion of
positioning via RS-232C.
0: Does not output “!” at the completion of positioning.
1. Outputs “!” at the completion of positioning.
Sets availableness of local
parameter prompt.
0: Nullifies function of indicated parameter prompt. (: )
1: Enables function of indicated parameter prompt. (:>)
: The password is required.
Caution : Please note that there is the limit for the number of times of overwriting
commands and parameters to the memory.
The Driver Unit has an EEPROM for the data backup. The EEPROM has the
limitation on the number of times for writing and deleting data. (Approximately 100
000 times) Therefore, we recommend setting the command WM to prohibit writing
to the EEPROM when the internal parameters are frequently changed from the
master controller during operation. However, setting of the command WM is not
necessary for commands and parameters that do not require the backup.
Parameters that are categorized as “parameter” in “9. Details of Command and
Parameter” will be backed up on the EEPROM.
