Sina.Sattari Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 John, Would you be able to explain what you mean by "active"? Currently we use the term "activated" for any motor whose Motor[x].ServoCtrl > 0 Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that I can monitor/check that a motor is capable of being enabled I check the "activated" ( as define in the Turbo PMAC ) bit of the status word(s). I was looking for a bit = (Motor[x].ServoCtrl > 0) John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtwilson Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 John: Technically, Motor[x].ServoCtrl is "control", not "status", which is why it is not in a status word. The bits in the status word are write-protected, which ServoCtrl of course cannot be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
