SYNMAX – Synchronization Window Upper Limit

Reads the value of the synchronization window upper limit. This will indicate the maximum encoder/pulse position the synchronization digital output will activate during continuous synchronization mode. Set the synchronization window upper limit by using SYNMAX[axis]=[n]. Any position larger than the set SYNMAX[axis] will not output synchronization pulses. The default value for SYNMAX[axis] is 0.

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

ASCII SYNMAX[axis]

Syntax:

Read:

SYNMAX[axis]

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

Write:

SYNMAX[axis]=[n]

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

[n] is the target value

* Valid values for n target value

Any value inside of the positioning control range (-134,217,728 to +134,217,727) (28bit)

SYNMAX[axis] must be larger than SYNMIN[axis]

Reply:

Command is accepted and executed

Read:

Returns the current set value for the sync window upper limit (28-bit value)

Write:

Command cannot be processed

An error message is returned. See Error Codes

Example:

Enable the synchronization window and set min/max values.

SYNPX=1000	* 1000 counts between synchronization output pulses on the X-axis.
SYNCX=8	* Sets sync mode to continuous for X-axis, based on pulse position.
SYNMAXX=100000	* Sets the maximum value for the synchronization window to 100,000 on the X-axis.
SYNMINX=2000	* Sets the minimum value for the synchronization window to 2000 on the X-axis.
SYNWOX	* Enables sync output and synchronization window on the X-axis.

Notes:

The synchronization window lower limit function is independent for each axis.
The synchronization window function overlays the continuous synchronization mode. An error message will appear if the synchronization mode (SYNC[axis]) is not set to one of the continuous modes.
The value set to SYNMAX[axis] must be within the positioning control range (-134,217,728 to +134,217,727) 28-bit
If SYNMAX[axis] will be set to a negative value, SYNMIN[axis] should be set first.
