On-line command DEFINE BLCOMP

DELETE COMP

Function

Erase leadscrew compensation table

Scope

Motor specific

Syntax

DELETE COMP

DEL COMP

Remarks

This command causes PMAC to erase the compensation table belonging to the addressed

motor, freeing that memory for other use.

Note:

PMAC will reject this command, reporting an ERR003 if I6=1 or 3, if

any COMP buffer exists for a lower numbered motor, or if any

TCOMP, BLCOMP, TBUF, ROTARY, or GATHER buffer exists.

Any of these buffers must be deleted first. COMP buffers must be

defined from high-numbered motor to low-numbered motor, and

deleted from low-numbered motor to high-numbered motor.

Remember that a compensation table belonging to a motor does not necessarily affect that

motor or is not necessarily affected by that motor. The command LIST COMP DEF will

tell which motors it affects and is affected by.

Example

#2DEL COMP ... ; Erase table belonging to Motor 2

ERR003............. ; PMAC rejects this command

#1 DELETE COMP ; Erase table belonging to Motor 1

#2 DELETE COMP ; Erase table belonging to Motor 2
