Write sets the conditions to output a deviation counter clear signal. Read returns the current setting.


Applies to: CMD-4CR, CMD-4EX-SA


ASCII                ERC

Syntax:                        

Read:

ERC[axis]                

Where:        [axis] is set to X, Y, Z, U, or not specified to read global value


Write:

ERC[axis]=[erc]                 

Where:        [axis] is set to X, Y, Z, U

[erc]     sets the use/do not use condition (0-3)

               0: Do not use

               1: Use – Output the signal in case of an error stop

               2: Use – Output the signal in the case of a homing operation

               3: Use – Output the signal for both an error stop and a homing operation


Reply:

Example: 

Read:        

ERCY                * Returns the setting for use/do not use condition of the Y axis


Write:        

ERCZ=1         * Sets Z-axis deviation counter clear signal to “Output in case of an error stop”


Notes:

  • ERC[axis] command is 2-bit and sets the output condition of the ERC signal. The ERC[axis] command can write a

new condition or read the condition based on the chart below.
