C-863.12 Mercury Controller MS249E Version: 1.2.1 91
7.6.3 Controlling Axis Motion
PIMikroMove is used in the following to activate joystick control for the positioner. It is not
necessary to know the corresponding GCS commands.
Unintentional motion while activating the joystick!
If no joystick is connected to the C-863.12, activating the joystick in the software can cause
unintentional motion of the axis connected.
➢ Activate the joystick in the software only if a joystick is actually connected to the C-863.12.
The use of macros provides a wide range of application possibilities for joystick control. In
particular, the joystick button can be used in macros for a wide variety of applications. Details
and examples of macros are found in "Controller Macros" (p. 97).
The C-863.12 supports one logical axis and is therefore normally used with positioners that
only have one motion axis. In this case, the designation "axis" is synonymous with "positioner".
Therefore, no distinction is made between "positioner" and "axis" in the following operational
instructions.
Requirements
✓ You have started operation of the positioner (p. 62) and initial motion with
PIMikroMove.
✓ You have connected a joystick to the C-863.12 (p. 47).
