ATGA - Amps Trigger Action
HexCode: 2C
Description:
This parameter sets what action to take when the Amps trigger is activated. The list is the
same as in the DINA digital input actions. Typical use for that feature is as a limit switch
when, for example, a motor reaches an end and enters stall condition, the current will
rise, and that current increase can be detected and the motor be made to stop until the
direction is reversed. Embedded in the parameter is the motor channel(s) to which the
action should apply.
