Command is accepted and executed
Read
Returns the input modes and input logic of various signals for the specified axis (17-bit value)
Write
OK
Command cannot be processed
An error message is returned. See Error Codes
Example
Read
POLY * Returns the input modes and logic for various signal for the Y axis
Write
POLX=4128 * Sets the input modes and logic based on the 17-bit value. Ex. 4128 converts to 1 0000 0010 0000. Using the chart above, the result is setting “PLS/DIR input,” “Alarm with Positive Logic,” and “Feedback set at x4” for the X axis.
Notes
This (Excel) spreadsheet Polarity of the Input/Output Logic Calculator helps encode the value sent to and decode the value returned by the POL function.
