3.6 Serial Command Codes

• The serial commands that can be sent to the Adept AnyFeeder
• The default values for the Adept AnyFeeder command parameters
• How the Adept AnyFeeder responds to received commands
• Sample serial communications dialogs
Sending Commands to the Adept AnyFeeder
Table 3-3 provides a list of all available Adept AnyFeeder serial commands. With each
command there is a maximum of two associated parameters which influence that
command. Note that some commands do not need any parameters.
During startup, the Adept AnyFeeder firmware assigns default values to all parameters.
For example, if you send the Adept AnyFeeder a “feed forward” command without first
changing any of its parameters, the Adept AnyFeeder control system will apply the
default parameters (see
Table 3-7 for details).
See Table 3-6, “Standard Responses,” on page 38 for a list of standard responses.
