This section is about Monitor Variables. Control Parameters are explained in
Operation: Control Parameters.
The M–Traverse has a number of Monitor Variables (MVs) that monitor the
performance of the M–Traverse and your system, help you troubleshoot for problems,
and confirm the wiring and tuning. MVs can be accessed at any time during the
M–Traverse's operation, including during Run, Jog, and F–Stop.
Note: Monitor Variables are status indicators only - you can not directly affect an MV.
There are four categories of Monitor Variables:
Input Monitoring
Output Monitoring
Performance Monitoring
Status Monitoring
In the sections that follow, the Monitor Variables are listed according to these
categories.
