Software Setup and Operation
Hexadecimal is another way to use binary which groups bits in sets of four counting from 0
to 15.
The format of the Index Select Lines is binary. That is, the first line assigned has the value of
1, the second a value of 2, the third a value of 4, the fourth a value of 8, and so on. The index
number selected is the sum of the values of the lines activated.
In the previous paragraph, with four lines assigned beginning with line 5, if no lines are active,
index 0 is selected and it will be initiated when you activate Index Initiate. If you activate lines
5 and 7 and the Index Initiate line simultaneously, you will initiate Index 5 (line 5 has a value
of 1 and line 7 has a value of 4). If you activate all four lines and the Initiate Index line
simultaneously, you are selecting Index Number 15 (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15). Index numbers
available in the basic drive are indexes 0 through 31. Selected lines must be asserted first, or
logic race will cause intermittent results.
15 Home Sensor (0)
Defines which input line is used for Home Sensor (0).
16 Feed Sensor (0)
Provides a sensor input for Feed Sensor (0). This is an edge sensitive function. It must be
taken from low level to high level to be recognized.
17 Clear End Of Index
Output
Clears the End Of Index Output. If this input is not assigned, the End Of Index output will
automatically clear when the next motion occurs. If this input is assigned, the output will not
be cleared until this input is active.
18 Clear End Of Home
Clears the End Of Home output. If not assigned, the End Of Home will automatically clear
when the next motion occurs. If this input is assigned, the output will not be cleared until this
input is active.
19 Clear End Of Index Count Output
Clears the End Of Index Count Output. If not assigned, the End Of Index Count will clear
when the next motion occurs. If this input is assigned, the output will only be cleared by a
“Clear End Of Index Count” input.
