paddax Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 What is the correct method of clearing the "Stopped on Desired Position Limit" / "Desired position limit stop" flag in the motor status (?) and Coordinate status (??) without starting a new program.

Mr P Mac Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Can you write to Mxx30? Or does it stay latched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddax Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Can you write to Mxx30? Or does it stay latched? We don't use the standard M variable definition and I don't have the manuals to hand. If your referfing to Motor or Coord status register, then yes it stays latched. Actively writing to the register does not clear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtwilson Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I am able to write to both the motor and CS status bits to clear them. Even if you are still in the limit, they are NOT automatically set back to 1 by the PMAC. e.g. M129->Y:$C0,12,1 M229->Y:$140,12,1 M5129->Y:$2040,1,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 If lookahead is on when this occurs you can “retrace” the path in the current program with the "<" command or resume forward execution after changing the limit value. See the section in the TURBO PMAC USER MANUAL on "Position Limits" in the Lookahead section, page 310 (326 electronic) for complete details of this feature.
