address you entered to the controller with the specified serial number. Click on YES to assign it, NO
to move to next controller, or CANCEL to not save the changes. If there are no controllers on the
network that do not have an IP address assigned, the program will state this.
When done registering, click on OK. If you do not wish to save the changes, click on CANCEL.
Once the controller has been register, select the correct controller from the list and click on OK. If the
software successfully established communications with the controller, the registry entry will be
displayed at the top of the screen.
NOTE: The controller must be registered via an Ethernet connection.
Sending Test Commands to the Terminal:
After you connect your terminal, press <return> or the <enter> key on your keyboard. In response to
carriage return <return>, the controller responds with a colon, :
Now type
TPA <return>
This command directs the controller to return the current position of the A axis. The controller should
respond with a number such as
0000000
Step 7. Determine the Axes to be Used for Sinusoidal
Commutation
* This step is only required when the controller will be used to control a brushless motor(s) with
sinusoidal commutation.
The command, BA is used to select the axes of sinusoidal commutation. For example, BAAC sets A
and C as axes with sinusoidal commutation.
Notes on Configuring Sinusoidal Commutation:
The command, BA, reconfigures the controller such that it has one less axis of 'standard' control for
each axis of sinusoidal commutation. For example, if the command BAA is given to a DMC-2x40
controller, the controller will be re-configured to be a DMC-2x30 controller. In this case the highest
axis is no longer available except to be used for the 2
nd phase of the sinusoidal commutation. Note that
the highest axis on a controller can never be configured for sinusoidal commutation.
The DAC associated with the selected axis represents the first phase. The second phase uses the
highest available DAC. When more than one axis is configured for sinusoidal commutation, the
controller will assign the second phases to the DACs which have been made available through the axes
reconfiguration. The highest sinusoidal commutation axis will be assigned to the highest available
DAC and the lowest sinusoidal commutation axis will be assigned to the lowest available DAC. Note
that the lowest axis is the A axis and the highest axis is the highest available axis for which the
controller has been configured.
Example: Sinusoidal Commutation Configuration using a DMC-2x70
BAAC
This command causes the controller to be reconfigured as a DMC-2x50 controller. The A and C axes
are configured for sinusoidal commutation. The first phase of the A axis will be the motor command
A signal. The second phase of the A axis will be F signal. The first phase of the C axis will be the
motor command C signal. The second phase of the C axis will be the motor command G signal.
