Families: Motion
Key words:
Platform: Unix Like
Language: Cpp
Contact:
Hardware
Manufacturer: NewPort
Bus: Not Applicable
Class interface
Attributes:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ConversionScalar: DevDouble | conversion factor for steps to units |
| PositionScalar: DevDouble | The current or target position in units |
| UnitLimitMinScalar: DevDouble | Minimum position limit. If not set, will default to -1. When both min and max are set to 0, the limit will be ignored. The motors do not have end switches and the controller does not stop generating pulses when the wall is hit. If this happens, your position is lost. So make sure you set the limits properly. |
| UnitLimitMaxScalar: DevDouble | Maximum position limit. If not set, will default to 1. When both min and max are set to 0, the limit will be ignored. The motors do not have end switches and the controller does not stop generating pulses when the wall is hit. If this happens, your position is lost. So make sure you set the limits properly. |
| MotorTypeScalar: DevShort | The type of the connected motor. 0: no motor connected 1: motor type unknown 2: tiny motor 3: standard motor |
| SpeedScalar: DevLong | The axis velocity in steps/sec , min 0, max 2000 |
| AccelerationScalar: DevLong | The axis acceleraion in steps/sec2, min 1, max 200000 |
| StoredPositionScalar: DevLong | Position in steps. This attribute is memorized an updated after every move. The value is used to recalibrate the position value (command 'DH')at server start in case the controller was switched off. Never edit this manually. |
Commands:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| StateInput: DevVoid Output: State Device state |
This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StatusInput: DevVoid Output: ConstDevString Device status |
This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StopMoveInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Stop movement on this axis |
| CalibrateInput: DevDouble position value to be defined as current position Output: DevVoid |
Define the current position as position <argin> |
