Motor Off Mapping

Emergency Button Functionality

Pressing the EMERGENCY button on the main screen of the program will stop the servo operation. However, if the operation is stopped during use, the servo may be at the 0-degree position, but it can also stop while under a load, such as at 20 degrees.

Therefore, the following procedure sets an example of stopping the servo operation and returning it to the 0-degree position when the button is clicked.

(1) After importing the DBC file, open the Configuration window. In the MOTOR ONOFF SIGNAL table, the HOST COMMAND list matching the DBC will appear.

(2) In the first row, set the servo's last position to 0 degrees. Select the POS_CMD item from the HOST COMMAND list.

(3) Enter ON Value = NUM, OFF Value = 0.

(4) Set the OFF Timeout. The OFF Timeout is the number of seconds after pressing the Emergency button before the command is executed.

(5) In the second row, stop the servo motor. Select the MOTOR_ONOFF item from the HOST COMMAND list.

(6) Enter ON Value = 1, OFF Value = 5. Refer to the ICD document for the ON/OFF Values.

(7) Set the OFF Timeout.

(8) Click the ENABLE button to activate the function.

Based on the settings shown in the above figure, the actual servo operation when the Emergency button is clicked is as follows.

*Additionally, the Motor Off Mapping setting will cause the servo to execute the commands according to the Motor Off Mapping settings for 10 seconds after the AutoRun operation time ends and then terminate the AutoRun.
