Description

The command GCL executes a motion command for the stepper type 14 motion controller of the USC-Card. The motion command is a G-code line given by <Par1>. For detailed information on the G-Code commands listed below see Motion commands.

<GCodeLine>

Value: <string>

Function

empty

Not available. This parameter is obligatory.

M46

Enable the stepper execution. Without this command, no further stepper execution is possible.

M0

Disable the stepper execution and abort all moves.

G90

Switch to absolute mode.

G91

Switch to relative mode.

F?

Define the speed of the movement in mm/s. The value for ? is a floating point value.

G1#?

Define the movement of axis # with value ? (floating point value). Possible values for # are X, Y, Z, A, B and C. X is always the first axis as defined with 'axis=0' in sc_motion_stepper_settings.txt. Y is the second axis and so on. Combination of several axes is possible e.g. G1X1Y2.5Z10.

G28#1

Start the homing procedure for the axis defined with #. Possible values for # are X, Y, Z, A, B and C. X is always the first axis defined. Combination of several axes is not possible.

Example

Define an axis of motion controller type 14 in SAMLight with homing and specify the home switch input bit. Store these settings to your USC-Card (via Settings - System - Optic - Advanced - Store).

Then, use the following FCI commands:

Command

Return

Note

GCL M46

0:

Enable stepper execution.

GCL G28X1

0:

Start homing procedure for the first axis.

GCL G91

0:

Define relative movement.

GCL G1X3Y8

0:

Move relative 3mm with the first and 8mm with the second axis.

Notes

•The command GCL can be used to execute a motion command for the motion type 14.

•The stepper settings need to be adjusted and stored (with the SAMLight store button and not with the store button in sc_setup) to the USC-Card prior to execution of a stepper-relevant G-code line.
