Past Revisions
The LM2761756 manual superseded LM2761746 and coresponded to software revision 2,
checksum E033. The software change was customer driven. The Motion Status Bits change to
“Stopped, In Position”, whenever the position is within the specified Target Range. The
Motion Status Bits are available in both block and single transfer data. See Pgs. 60 and 66.
This LM2761746 manual superseded LM2761736 and coresponded to software revision 1,
checksum 5D1E. With this software, the 2762-17 first drove the position to the Overshoot
Offset when the initial position is within the overshoot range. A programmable parameter,
Retry Value was also added. This parameter specifies the number of attempts the 2762-17
makes to reach the target position before issuing a ‘Stopped, Not in Position’ error message.
The Retry Value is only used if the move profile is initiated from the backplane. When initiated
from the front panel, the 2762-17 will make a maximum of three attempts to reach the target
position.
Revision LM2761736, was the first release of the manual. It was first released March 1996.
