64 Operation Theory
4.2.12 Manual Pulse Function
The manual pulse is a device to generate pulse trains by hand.
The pulses are sent to motion controller and re-directed to pulse
output pins. The input pulses could be multiplied or divided before
sending out.
The motion controller receives two kinds of pulse trains from man-
ual pulse device: CW/CCW and AB phase. If the AB phase input
mode is selected, the multiplier has additional selection of 1, 2, or
4.
The following figure shows pulse ratio block diagram.
4.2.13 Simultaneous Start Function
Simultaneous motion means more than one axis can be started by
a simultaneous signal which can be external or internal signals.
For external signal, users must set move parameters first for all
axes then these axes will wait an extern start/stop command to
start or stop. For internal signals, the start command could be from
a software start function. Once it is issued, all axes which are in
waiting synchronous mode will start at the same time.
