The STT command is used to execute the desired trajectory, the specifics of which have been programmed via
the LTRJ command. Synchronization of multi-axis control (to within one sample interval) can be arranged by
loading the required trajectory parameters for each (and every) axis and then simultaneously issuing a single
STT command to all axes. This command may be executed at any time, unless the acceleration value has been
changed and a trajectory has not been completed or the motor has not been manually stopped. If STT is issued
during motion and acceleration has been changed, a command error interrupt will be generated and the
command will be ignored.
Data Reporting Commands
The following seven LM628 user commands are used to obtain data from various registers in the LM628. Status,
position, and velocity information are reported. With the exception of RDSTAT, the data is read from the LM628
data port after first writing the corresponding command to the command port.
RDSTAT COMMAND: READ STATUS BYTE
Command Code:None
Byte Read:One
Data Range:See Text
Executable During Motion:Yes
The RDSTAT command is really not a command, but is listed with the other commands because it is used very
frequently to control communications with the host computer. There is no identification code; it is directly
supported by the hardware and may be executed at any time. The single-byte status read is selected by placing
CS , PS and RD at logic zero. See Table 7.
Table 7. Status Byte Bit Allocation
Bit Position Function
Bit 7 Motor Off
Bit 6 Breakpoint Reached [Interrupt]
Bit 5 Excessive Position Error [Interrupt]
Bit 4 Wraparound Occurred [Interrupt]
Bit 3 Index Pulse Observed [Interrupt]
Bit 2 Trajectory Complete [Interrupt]
Bit 1 Command Error [Interrupt]
Bit 0 Busy Bit
Bit 7, the motor-off flag, is set to logic one when the motor drive output is off (at the half-scale, offset-binary code
for zero). The motor is turned off by any of the following conditions: power-up reset, command RESET, excessive
position error (if command LPES had been executed), or when command LTRJ is used to manually stop the
motor via turning the motor off. Note that when bit 7 is set in conjunction with command LTRJ for producing a
manual, motor-off stop, the actual setting of bit 7 does not occur until command STT is issued to affect the stop.
Bit 7 is cleared by command STT, except as described in the previous sentence.
Bit 6, the breakpoint-reached interrupt flag, is set to logic one when the position breakpoint loaded via command
SBPA or SBPR has been exceeded. The flag is functional independent of the host interrupt mask status. Bit 6 is
cleared via command RSTI.
Bit 5, the excessive-position-error interrupt flag, is set to logic one when a position-error interrupt condition exists.
This occurs when the error threshold loaded via command LPEI or LPES has been exceeded. The flag is
functional independent of the host interrupt mask status. Bit 5 is cleared via command RSTI.
Bit 4, the wraparound interrupt flag, is set to logic one when a numerical “wraparound” has occurred. To
“wraparound” means to exceed the position address space of the LM628, which could occur during velocity
mode operation. If a wraparound has occurred, then position information will be in error and this interrupt helps
the user to ensure position data integrity. The flag is functional independent of the host interrupt mask status. Bit
4 is cleared via command RSTI.
