Write-only command to change the target position while the axis is moving.


Applies to: CMD-4CR, CMD-4EX-SA, PMX-4EX-SA, PMX-4ET-SA, PMX-2ED-SA, PMX-2EX


ASCII                        T

Syntax:

Write:

T[axis][newtarget]

Where:        [axis]                    specifies the axis to send a new target position (X, Y, Z, U)
               [newtarget]  specifies the target position, or increment to move

Reply:

Command is accepted and executed

Write:           

OK


Command cannot be processed

       An error message is returned. See Error Codes

Example: 

       Write: 

TX-1000        * changes the target position of the X axis to -1000 in absolute mode, or changes the incremental move to be -1000 pulses from the original start position.

Notes:

  • The target position change command will only be valid if the axis is currently performing an individual position move. If the new target position has been passed, the axis will reverse direction once the target position command is entered.  If the absolute position has passed in absolute mode, the motor will reverse and go to new target position.  If the increment of motion has been exceeded in the incremental mode, the motor will reverse and move to the correct increment from the start position.  
  • A jogging, interpolated, or homing routine will not accept a target position change command.
