Commands Reference
270 Advanced Digital Motor Controller User Manual V2.0, July 8, 2019
Example:
^DFC 1 500 : Sets motor command to 500 when no command source are detected
^DFC 2 1001 : Motor takes present position as destination after power up. Motor doesn’t
move.
DMOD – Modbus Mode
HexCode: A1
Description:
Configure this parameter in order to enable Modbus and the desired mode.
Syntax Serial: ^DMOD nn
~DMOD
Syntax Scripting: setconfig(_DMOD, nn)
Number of Arguments: 1
Argument 1: Modbus Mode
Type: Unsigned 8-bit
Min: 0 Max: 4
Default: 0
Where:
nn =
0: Off
1: TCP
2: RTU over TCP
3: RS232 ASCII
4: RS485 ASCII
Example:
^DMOD 3: Enable Modbus RS232 ASCII mode.
ECHOF - Enable/Disable Serial Echo
HexCode: 09
Description:
This command is used to disable/enable the echo on the RS232, RS485, TCP or USB port.
By default, the controller will echo everything that enters the serial communication port.
By setting ECHOF to 1, commands are no longer being echoed. The controller will only
reply to queries and the acknowledgements to commands can be seen.
Syntax Serial: ^ECHOF nn
~ECHOF
Syntax Scripting: setconfig(_ECHOF, nn)
Number of Arguments: 1
