Description:
Macros to control ELMO motor controller through macro motor.
Tested only with model "Whistle 01.01.10.00 31Dec2014B00G"
using ethernet connection (configured by USB only)
driving a single rotation stage.

DESCRIPTION
- Configuring macro motors
-
- 1)
You must have an entry in "MOTORS" table for each controller
- -
The "DEVICE" field must be set to string "elmoeth"
- -
The "ADDR" must be set to the IP adress + port like
elmoid111:5001
- -
The "NUM" should be set to
- -
The "TYPE" field must be set to "Macro Motors"
- 2)
For each axis you must define a motor with:
- -
The "Controller" field set to "MAC_MOT"
- -
The "Unit" field, numbered from 0,
must be set to the MOTORS entry.
- -
The "Module" field is not used
- -
The "Chan" field is not used
-
In the additionnal parameter screen, the parameter
"control_slave" can be set to 1 if the main motor
has a slave driven by elmo controller
- Controller mode (user_mode motor_par)
-
- Position control mode
- On spec reconfig, the control position is automatically set.
The ELMO corresponding user_mode is 4 for linear motors (aux. encoder feedback loop) or
5 for rotary motors (main encoder feedback loop) depending on "Linear/Rotary" field in spec config.
- Speed control mode
- Correspond to ELMO user_mode = 2. In this mode, higher velocity can be reached but
no control position commands can be executed (ie. no standard mv/mvr/...).
- Motor parameters implemented
-
- power
- Switch motor on(1) / off(0). On power ON, the command position is updated.
If the user_mode is in control position (4 or 5), on power ON, the command position is updated.
If ran outside config (ie. on a motor_par), read_motors(0x6) is called to update spec internals.
- enc_position
- Return actual encoder position
- user_mode
- Change the ELMO control mode (4/5: position control, 2: speed control). When switching to position control
mode, the command position is updated. The read_motors(0x6) is executed to update spec internals.
- jog_speed
- Start a jog speed motion in (deg or mm)/sec. Stop it if speed = 0.
- jog_range
- Read speed range for jog motion
- enable_slave
- Temporary disable/enable slave control
- Homing procedure implemented
-
- chg_dial(mot, "home+")
- Jog motor in user positive direction until home switch. Sets the controller position (dial) to the
position eventually defined in spec config as "home position" (0 by default)
- chg_dial(mot, "home-")
- Same procedure moving in negative direction

Macros:
elmoethdebug
Usage: elmoethdebug
Toggle on/off debug messages
elmoethhome
Usage: elmoethhome <motor> [<user_position>]
Search home switch in positive direction. At home switch,
controller sets the dial position to spec "home_position".
If asked, change offset according to given <user_position>
elmoethstatus
Usage: elmoethstatus <motor>
Report detailed status and input port states

Internal Macros:
|
elmoethdebug_init
Usage: elmoethdebug_init
elmoeth_config
Usage: elmoeth_config(num,type,p1,p2,p3)
MACRO MOTOR:
Called by spec after reading the config file
elmoeth_par
Usage: elmoeth_par(num,key,todo,p1)
MACRO MOTOR:
Called by spec after reading the config file, after calling _config()
and only if parameters are set in the config file for a motor.
elmoeth_cmd
Usage: elmoeth_cmd(num,key,p1,p2)
MACRO MOTOR:
Called by spec on motor operation.
_elmoeth_start_home
Usage: _elmoeth_start_home(mnum, dir, setpos, dialpos)
elmoeth_query
Usage: elmoeth_query (serialline, command)
Send the command to the ELMO controller and returns its string
answer if any or empty string if none.
If case of error, returns -1.
elmoeth_parseanswer
Usage: elmoeth_parseanswer (command, answer)
Parse controller serial response. Check command echo, error character,
and return answer or (-1) on error
elmoeth_multiquery
Usage: elmoeth_multiquery(sl, ncmd, cmds, vals)
Send multiple commands to controller (ncmd commands defined in ass array cmds[]).
Parse answer of each commands and return answer or (-1) on errors in ass array vals[]
Global return is 0 if sucess, -1 if one of the commands fails.
elmoeth_printerr
Usage: elmoeth_printerr (err)
Print a string message corresponding to the binary error code given.
See "Command Reference Manual" page 69 Command EC for detailed list.
elmoeth_round
Usage: elmoeth_round (x)
Return a well rounded integer as opposed to int() which always
round down
