Changing the Personality 7-13
Note that Step Verify can be temporarily locked out via the FP command. If a slip occurs
while locked out then the SLIP light glows steadily (i.e. does not blink) and the slip is not
acted upon until a subsequent FP re-enables Step Verify. Also, Step Verify is completely
deactivated while motor current is off; see the PM command.
51: Step Verify Delay, range 0 to 65535, factory 500
This parameter establishes a delay, in milliseconds, which is to be taken automatically
before executing any CS command or "
ESC.!2:" while the System is in the Motor Slipped
state. The purpose is to give the mechanical system time to coast to a stop after an
Emergency Stop caused by a slip. If a CS command were executed while the motors were
still moving then another slip would be detected. (Note that the WA command is ignored
while the machine is Emergency Stopped.)
Additional Z Axis Parameters
52: First Find Z Home Back Off Distance, range 0 to 32766, factory 0
This parameter sets the number of steps that the Z motor moves away from the Z home
switch before the first of the two seeks performed by an FZ command or a manual Z-axis
Find Home. Note that the factory default is 0, so there is no motion. (This prevents
bending the needle in a fluid dispensing system if the needle is already resting against the
surface.)
53: Second Find Z Home Back Off Distance, range 0 to 32766, factory 150
This is like parameter 52, but is used in the second Find Z Home sequence rather than the
first.
54: First Find Z Home Seek Speed, range 1 to 10000, factory 750
This sets the speed, in steps per second, at which the Z motor seeks the Z home switch
during the first of the two seeks performed by an FZ command or a Z axis manual find
home.
Note that parameters 54 through 56 do not take effect until the next CZ, IN, or reset.
55: Second Find Z Home Seek Speed, range 1 to 10000, factory 100
This is like parameter 54, but is used in the second Find Z Home sequence rather than the
first.
56: Find Z Home Acceleration, range 1 to 10000, factory 10
This sets the acceleration, in thousands of steps per second per second, at which the Z
motor accelerates toward the Z home switch in both the first and second Find Z Home
sequences. The motor accelerates smoothly from zero speed to the value specified by
parameter 54 or 55, but stops instantly as soon as the Z home switch closes.
