ESP300 motion controller-

[pro123]

hi,

i am use ESP300 motion controller with LabVIEW 7.0 .  my question is :

which command initialize the controller to the manufacture values ?

thank's

RS command will do that, for further information report to page 170 of attached document where all commands are listed and discribed.

Hope this helps

Hello pro123,

I don't think that this device has such a command.

It has reset command (RS) but it does something different:

This command is used to perform a hardware reset of the controller. It performs the following preliminary tasks before resetting the controller:
1. Stop all the axes that are in motion. The deceleration value specified using the command AG is used to stop the axes.
2. Wait for 500 ms to allow the axes to settle.
3. Disable all the axes by turning the power OFF.
4. Reset to the controller card.


If you want to "reset" settings like velocity, acceleration... you must set it on your own. These settings depends on connected servomotors so I think that it stands to reason that this device hasn't got this kind of reset. But maybe I am wrong.

There is manual to this device with all commands: http://phubner.eng.ua.edu/Files/ESP300.pdf

Hope it helps

Edit: TiTou was faster :-]

thank's all.

i can't anderstand why there is no "reset" command to this controller, that initialize all values to  manufacture defult.

i will give example why is so importent to me:  i read that the command  "QV" change the avarge voltage of the motor.

if someone before me, change this value, it can cause that my program will not work properly.

as i anderstand from your answer, i will need to set allmost all  parameters (to be sure that everything o.k.)

have good day 🙂

Hi,

I will give you simple example too. Imagine that default "reset level" of voltage is set to be 24V. But what would happened if you connect servomotor with maximum voltage level about 12V and reset the ESP300? At least error.

To be sure that your device is working as it should, write simple program for setting everything you need.
