220 Advanced Digital Motor Controller User Manual V2.1, December 3, 2020
Syntax Serial: !SPC cc nn
Syntax Scripting: SetCommand(_SPC, cc, nn)
Arguments: 2
Argument 1: Channel Type: Unsigned 8-bit
Min: 1 Max: Total of motors
Argument 2: Value Type: Signed 32-bit
Where:
cc = Motor channel
nn = Speed command in RPM
SPL – Velocity Min/Max Amount (DS402)
Alias: SPL HexCode: 57 CANOpen id: 0x6046
Description:
This command configures the minimum and maximum amount of velocity in RPM. The
vl velocity max amount is mapped internally to the vl velocity max positive and vl velocity
max negative values. The vl velocity min amount is be mapped internally to the vl velocity
min positive and vl velocity min negative values as shown in Figure 15-1. It is applicable to
Velocity mode.

Syntax Serial: !SPL ee nn
Syntax Scripting: SetCommand(_SPL, ee, nn)
Arguments: 2
Argument 1: Eelment Type: Unsigned 8-bit
Min: 1 Max: 2 × Total number of motors
