4.2.12 Manual Pulser Function
Manual pulser 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 send-
ing out.
The motion controller receives two kinds of pulse trains from man-
ual pulser 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 pulser ratio block diagram.
4.2.13 Simultaneous Start Function
Simultaneous motion means more than one axis can be started by
a Simultaneous signal which could 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 signal, 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.
