Host Command Reference
HW - Hand Wheel
Compatibility: All drives

EG, FE, and MT commands; see AT command for using analog input as sensor input
Puts drive in “hand wheel” mode until the given digital or analog input condition is met. Hand wheel mode is a
kind of low speed following mode, where the motor follows master encoder signals as a hand wheel is manually
turned. This command differs from the FE command in that the AC, DE, and DI commands are not used in any
way. In other words, the motor will attempt to follow the master encoder signals without injecting any ramps to
smoothly approach high frequency target speeds or to come to a stop when the stop input condition is met.
BLu, SV, STAC6, ST-Q/Si, STAC5, SVAC3
Inputs X1 and X2 are used for connecting the A and B signals of the encoder-based handwheel. The EG
(Electronic Gearing) command defines the following resolution of the motor.
ST-S, STM17/23
Inputs STEP and DIR are used for connecting the A and B signals of the encoder-based handwheel. The EG
(Electronic Gearing) command defines the following resolution of the step motor.
