General Comments
SLO-SYN MicroSerlesdrives use modernsolld-state electronics such
as microprocessors to provide the features needed for- advanced
motion control applications. In some cases, these applications pro-
duce electromagnetic interference (EMI, or electrical "noise") that
may cause inappropriate operation of the microprocessor logic used
inthe MicroSeries product, or inany other computer-type equipment
inthe user's system.
This guide is aimed toward helping users avoid such problems by
applying"good engineering practices" when designingtheir systems.
Followingthese guidelines will usually prevent EM1 noise from inter-
fering l~ithdrive operation.
li
Noise Sources
What causes electrical norse? Ingeneral, any equrpment that causes
arcs or sparks or that switches voltage or current at high frequencies
can cause interference. Inaddition, ac utility lines are often "polluted"
with electrical noise from sources outside a user's control (such as
equipment inthe factory next door).
The following are some of the more common causes of electrical
interference:
*
power from the utility ac line
*
relays. contactors and solenoids
*
hght dimmers
*
arc welders
*
motors and motor starters
*
induction heaters
*
radio controls or transmitters
sw~tch-modepower supplies
If the motor operates erratically, adjust the motion parame-
ters.

All logic is LOW TRUE. This means that a logic function is
active
when low
and inactive when high. The low true condition is
designated bya bar. Inthe case of step/Eg,
jog
isactivewhen low.
Ifalogiccontrolfunction connectorpinisleft

motionas viewed from the
motor's LABEL END.
Certain commands are designated as MODE commands. Ex-
amples: ABSOLUTE MODE. INCREMENTAL MODE, STEP MODE.
JOG MODE, etc. Care should be taken to assure that the correct
MODE is operational for each command. Once a mode is set. it
remains active until a canceling or alternate mode is chosen.
Motion performance and the ranges listed for motion parameters
are dependent on the translator resolution chosen with the L70
parameter.

This section contains the information necessary to set up,
enter,and edit programsand also toexecuteprogramswiththe
Micro Series Indexer.
Bycarefully readingthis sectionthrough initsentirety,the user
will fully understand the wide range of applications possible
with the Micro Series Indexer.
.1
OVERVIEW AN0 SET-U
EIA (Electronic Industries Association) Standard RS274-D is
the programming guide for numerically controlled machines.
Superior Electric has utilizedthis standardtoformthe basis for
the Micro Series Indexer's command structure. It was not
technically desirable to conform to the standard in complete
detail, but it proved beneficial in the program structure to
perform complex and varied operations with a simple format.
Usingstraightforwardprogrammingformats, the MicroSeries
lndexer enables the user to program and execute in either
parallel (switch panel) or serial (remote terminal or host
computer) communication modes.
In general, all parameters and commands can be broadly
grouped into four categories, which correspond to these code
groupings:
1.
L
Codes
3.
N,
G,
X and FCodes
2.
H
Codes 4. Immediate Codes
1.
"L Codes" (discussed in Section 4.3) are used to set
parameters for each indexer.These commandsare notconsid-
ered part of an indexer program,that is,they are made priorto
any motion programming and do not have program line
numbers.
It is important to remember that the L codes are used exclu-
sively to set the initialparametersof a particular indexer and
should not be thought of as part of the program option for the
indexer.
Codes" (Section 4.4) are used to set indexer modes,
control manual and program execution and to transmit para-
meters and indexer status via the serial communications port.
H codes are not part of the programming commands for the
indexer. There are no program line numbers associated with
the
"H"
codes and they are not considered to be part of the
programming function.
and FCodes" (Section 4.5) are the programming
commands forthe indexer.Upto400 lines of program instruc-
tions can be stored as a unique motion control program.
Each program is in a fixed format, and is composed of a line
number, a "G" code, an
"Xu
code and an
"F"
field.
A line of program has this format:
N[nnn) G[nn] X[snnnnnnnn] F[nnnnnnn]
A space is used to separate the codes.
Not all codes need be programmed for each program line.
The G,
X
and
F
codes may be programmed in any order.
:
The brackets,
[I,
are used in this manual for clarity
h,
and are not to be used when entering data
or
variables
4. lmmediate Codes (Section 4.2) are executed immediately
upon receipt and are not stored as part of the program. All
commands are highlighted in bold face for easy reference.
4.1.2 General Programming Comments
T PROGRAMMING NOTES**
1.
The indexer contains a 40 character serial buffer
to
accept alldata and programming entries.
If
a COMMAND
TERMINATOR (CARRIAGE RETURNand/or LINE FEED) is
notreceivedbythe40thcharacter, the buffercontentsart:
dumped and that 40 character strina is lost.
Upon receipt of a CR and/or LF, an XOFF (ASCII Code 19)
character istransmitted to the host; no further data trans-
missionfrom the host should occur. However, any char-
acters transmitted subsequent to XOFF will be stored in
the buffer until the buffer capacity is reached. if the
capacity is exceeded, the buffer contents are dumped.
The receipt of a COMMAND TERMINATOR character will
causethe commands inthe buffertobe executedsequen-
tially. That is, thefirst commandthat was entered will be
the first command executed. The COMMAND DELIMITER
for a series of commands is a space. Once all the com-
mands inthe bufferhave beenexecuted, the indexerwill
send an XON (ASCIICode17)character andwillbeready
to receive further data.
2. Whether the indexer is being operated from a switch
panel, remote terminal or host computer,the first task that
faces an operator, after all circuit connections have been
made, isthat of setting
"L:
codes", the parameters of each
indexer.
3.
In the following descriptions, it is important to note the
factory default values for each parameter as entry steps
can beeliminated. Uponreceiptofanew indexer, the default
ilalues will have been entered for the parameters.
I.
Motorspeedsandacceleration willdependontheTRANS-
LATOR RESOLUTIONsetting (L70 nnn). Set this parameter
first and then work in ascending numerical order starting
@iththe LO6 parameter.
NOTE: Ifthe L70valueischanged, thevaluesfor L09, L11,
L12, L14 and the "F" field values must be reentered.
5.
Entry of invalid datafor aparameter or programfield will
-esult in the previous data being left intact.
3.
If the number of characters entered exceedsthe number
~f required characters, the data is truncated to the maxi-
numfield length for the entry.
XoniXoff Protocol:
The Xoff character is transrnitted to the host when a CR or LF is
received The lndexer will processthe information it has received and
v!iII transmit an Xon character when it is ready to accept more
information
fromthe host The lndexer should be polled to determine
when it is ready to accept more information If
L26
3
is selected the
lndexer will transmit an
=
if it is ready to accept more ~nformation
If an Xoff chardcter has beentransmittedtothe hostand the command
received by the lndexer calls for motion or progrdm execution the
lndexer will send an Xon to the host This allo?.!s the host to send any
of the immediate commands such as
*
[Clear)
S
(Feed Hold) or
#
(Cycle Stop) The host shoiild not send normal commands until
the lndexer is ready to accept more information The lndexer will be
ready to accept more information when motion is stopped program

"On The Fly" Commands
"On The Fly" commands can be sent to the indexer when it is "BUSY" (When motion or program execution is active or when
previously transmitted commands are being processed)."On The Fly" commands allow the indexer to send status or position
information to the host. The sequence for sending "On The Fly" commands isshown below. The host must send an "On The Fly"
command,followed immediately by a carriage return (CR) and/or Line Feed (LF). If the command is not sent in this manner, itwill
not be treated as an "On The Fly"command.Instead, itwillbe placed inthe buffer andexecutedwhenthe indexer is no longer"BUSY".

.2 IMMEDIATE COMMANDS
The
"X
command is executed immediately upon entry and is
not stored as part of the program.
I
*
CLEAR (ASCII Code 42)
/
(s.
This command IMMEDIATELY halts all motor motion and
programexecutionand will causea loss of home position.The
program line pointer
is
reset to the line number specified with
the
L41
parameter.
The RS232 input buffer is also cleared and the indexer trans-
mits an XOFF and then an XON when a CLEAR command is
used.
(ASCII CODE 36)
1
This commandwill immediately bringcurrentmotor motionto
a controlled stop with deceleration determined by the
L11
parameter
(ACCELERATION/DECELERATION).
Motion can be continued without loss of position by using a
NO1
CYCLE START command if the feedhold was applied
during program execution. If a feedhold was applied during
a
H08
(return to electrical home) command, a subsequent
H08
will continue the motion. A feedhold during a
HI0
(return to
mechanical home) command requires a
HI0
to continue the
motion.The line number cannot bealtered duringafeedholdas
the remaining move distance needsto be completed. A CLEAR
(*)
can be issued if it is not desired to complete the motion.
TTENTION CHARACTE
If
<[nn]
=
00, all indexers will be addressed; otherwise, the
indexer with the value set by the
L21
parameter that matches
the <[nn] valuewill becomethe active indexer.The indexer will
respondwith
"
=
XON" when the <[nn] value matchesthe value
set with the
L21
parameter and the indexer is ready for
commands. If the indexer is not ready, the indexer responds
with
":".
If <00 is used, there is no indexer response.
This command halts program execution after the current
program line is completed.

L
Codes: INDEXER PARAMETERS
L codes are used to set parameters for each indexer. These
parameters affectthe entire operationof theindexerandcannot
be changed during program execution; therefore, they should
be programmedfirst. The Lcodes can be categorized into three
areas of interest: motion, execution and serialcommunication
parameters.
Motionparameters: L08, L09, L11,L12, L14,L17,L18,
L19, L70
Execution parameters: L06, L07, L41, L44, L45, L48,
L49
Communication parameters: L21, L22, L23, L25, L26
The L codes have been preset at the factory to default values;
these are listed as "Factory Default" settings.
