Enabling Analog Commands

For safety reasons, the Analog command mode is disabled by default. To enable the Analog mode, use the PC

utility and set Analog in Command Priority 2 or 3 (leave Serial as priority 1). Note that by default the additional

securities are enabled and will prevent the motor from starting unless the potentiometer is centered, or if the

voltage is below 0.25V or above 4.75V. The drawing shows suggested assignment of Pot 1 to ANA5 and Pot 2 to

ANA4. Use the PC utility to enable and assign analog inputs.

CAN Bus Operation

The controller can interface to a standard CAN Bus network, using 4 possible protocols: Standard CANOpen, and

two simplified proprietary schemes (MiniCAN, RawCAN and RoboCAN). Please refer to the User Manual for

details.

USB communication

Use USB only for configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting. USB is not a reliable communication method

when used in a electrically noisy environments and communication will not always recover after it is lost without

unplugging and replugging the connector, or restarting the controller. Always prefer RS232 communication when

interfacing to a computer.

Status LED Flashing Patterns

After the controller is powered on, the Power LED will turn on, indicating that the controller is On. The Status LED

will be flashing at a 2 seconds interval. The flashing pattern provides operating or exception status information.
