Fast Tag Register Number, N13:0,7,14..(x_FTAG)
This is a numerical value of a register number in the MC. To find out about MC register numbers,
see Useful Registers (page 29). If the value of this integer is not zero, the corresponding register
will be polled in the fast loop. The value of the register will be available in the Fast tagged value,
F14:0,8,16.. (page 19), as long as the MC is on-line and the Tag Access Problems bit in the MC
Status Word, N12:0,8,16.. (page 14) is not set.
Slow Tag Register Number 1 - 3 N,13:1-3,8-10,15-17..(x_STAG1, x_STAG2, x_STAG3)
These integers work just like the Fast Tag Register Number, but the corresponding registers will
be polled in the slow loop. The value of the register will be available in Slow tagged values 1 - 3,
F14:1-3,9-11,17-19.. (page 19), respectively.
MC Control Word, N13:4,11,18..(x_CONTROL)
The bits in this integer are used to control status and issue function requests to SuperBridge.
There is one function per bit. Requests may be accompanied by request parameters located in
MC Request Integer Parameter N13:5,12,19.. (page 18) and/or MC Request Float Parameter,
F15:1,4,7.. (page 19). Setting a Request bit (Bit 4 - 15) will result in the corresponding bit in
Request Done Bits, N12:4,12,20.. (page 16) being set, when the request either has completed or
caused an error. Only one request should be run at a time, in order not to confuse done bits and
parameters. The following control status and requests are supported:
Bit 0 (0001)
(x_ROFFL)
MC Off-line. Setting this bit will take the corresponding MC off-line. When done,
the MC Status Word, N12:0,8,16.. (page 14), Bit 0, Off-line, will be set. Clearing
this bit bill bring the MC on-line again. It is a good idea to set a MC that is
currently not used off-line, since this speeds up the polling loops.
Bit 1 (0002)
(x_RDLSET)
Download setpoints. This bit will cause any value (including zero) in SetPoint,
F15:0,3,6.. (page 19) to be continuously downloaded as a setpoint to the MC.
Bit 2-3 Reserved.
Bit 4 (0010)
(x_RKEY)
Send remote keyboard keycode. The code for the key must be present in the
MC Request Integer Parameter N13:5,12,19.., (page 18). Multiple keycodes
can be "added" together, having the effect of pressing multiple keys on the MC²
keyboard simultaneously. The keyboard mapping is
