Documentation:
Control of the PACE5000 single-channel or PACE6000 single/dual-channel Pressure Automated Calibration Equipment. Control via ethernet sockets. The macromotor controller to be used is 'pace6000'. Each controller must define the serial device index or the "adress:socket_number" as the address in config. Declare a motor controller: MOTORS DEVICE ADDR <>MODE NUM <>TYPE YES pace6000 id09pace6000:5025 2 Macro Motorsand a macro motor: Unit is index num of controller, second is the controller channel as number 0 (zero) or 1 (one). Number: <>Controller xx: MAC_MOT Unit/[Module/]Channel y/0 Name pace Mnemonic pace Steps per degree/mm 10000 Sign of user * dial 1 Backlash [steps] 0 Steady-state rate [Hz] 2000 Base rate [Hz] 200 Acceleration time [msec] 125 Motor accumulator 362 Restrictions <> NONE Dial = accumulator / steps High limit xxx.0000 Current 0.0000 Low limit 0.0100 User = sign * dial + offset Offset 0.0000 `High' limit xxx.0000 Current 0.0000 `Low' limit 0.0100 Then hit 'm' twice. Set the following for your motor: Hardware read mode <> PR + AL + NQPlease NOTE: When the controller is close to zero, it mightn`t return the second in-limit parameter as 1. This implies, that the pressure zero will not be reached and the controller will never signal it has reached the final destination. Solution is to set the lower limit to 0.1. | ||||||
Macros:
Usage: pace6000_debug toggle the debug mode if (!(whatis("_pace6000_debug") & 2)) rdef _pace6000_debug \'#$*\' pace6000_simul Usage: pace6000_simul toggle simulation mode for the present macros. pace6000_switch Usage: pace6000_switch <mnemonic> <on/off> switch controller on or off pace6000_slewrate Usage: pace6000_slewrate mnemonic <slewrate> Set the rate at which the controller ramps pressure. Documentation says values can also be "max" or "min", but that didn't work for me. | ||||||
| Internal Macros: | ||||||
Usage: pace6000_config(mne, type, unit, num_motors) MACRO MOTOR: Called by spec after reading the config file pace6000_cmd Usage: pace6000_cmd(num,key,p1,p2) MACRO MOTOR: Called by spec on motor operation. It manages: - position - start_one - get_status %QUOTE% _pace6000_io Usage: _pace6000_io(num, cmd) sends the string 'cmd' to controller. It ends the command with \\r and \\n for serial comm. There could be a GPIB connection, but it's not handled here. _pace6000_report_error Usage: _pace6000_report_error () get errors returns ".error." if there is an error returns 0 if no error pace_switch Usage: pace_switch pace_slewrate Usage: pace_slewrate | ||||||
