Gets/sets the output conditions [value] of the deviation counter signal for [axis].

Access: Read/Write

Category: Servo

Applies to: All Commander Controllers

ASCII                ERC

Syntax                        

Read

ERC[axis]                

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

Write

ERC[axis]=[erc]                 

[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
