ET - Encoder reset
  Format:  ET
  Description:  This command will reset the internal encoder count register to 0.
EW -Encoder window
  Format:  EW[value]
  Description: 
 
 
  Range:   0 - 255
This command sets the wait time a specified number of milliseconds after a rela-
tive index or absolute move is finished,  before reading the encoder. This is used 
to remove the ringing that might be associated with the mechanics of the system. 
This command is used in conjunction with the encoder autocorrect “EA” command.
This  represents the ratio for the number of encoder pulses to one motor step. An 
example is for a 1000 line quadrature encoder and a 400 step/revolution motor, the 
motor ratio is (1000 * 4) / 400 = 10. This command is used in conjunction with the 
encoder autocorrect EA command.
This is the number of times the DPN10601 controller will try to autocorrect the motor 
before erroring. This command is used in conjunction with the encoder autocorrect 
EA command. When the autocorrect errors, Output 8 will be triggered.
This is the allowable error in encoder pulses (either plus or minus) from the desired 
position  that  is  allowed  before  the  motor  autocorrects.  This  command  is  used  in 
conjunction with the encoder autocorrect EA command.

  In  type  1  homing,  the  DPN10601  will  send  clocks  until  a  home  limit  is   
reached, ramp down to base speed, change directions and run at base speed unit 
the  release  of  the  home  limit  input.  The  ramp  profile  is  specified  by  the  B  (base 
speed), M (max speed), and A (acceleration/deceleration) commands. H0:  In type 0 homing, the DPN10601 will send clocks until a soft limit is reached, 
then  ramp  down  to  base  speed.  Clocks  will  continue  at  base  speed  until  a  home 
limit is   reached. The ramp profile is specified by the B (base speed), M (max speed), 
This command returns the binary value of the inputs to the PC. Since the inputs 
are pulled up internally (except input 1), they will return a high when they are 
open. For example; if all inputs are active (grounded), the command will return a 0. 
If all  inputs are inactive (open), the command will return a 63. Input 1 is the LSB

analog speed must be enabled for this command to work. This command is used 
 in conjunction with the analog speed “;”, the analog speed lower limit “[“, and the 
analog speed  lower limit “]” commands. This value must be set before motion be-
gins.
This command sets the number of clocks for the DPN10601 to send out following 
a G command. It is also used to set the registration index during and index on the 
fly move. Motion is not activated by this command; it only sets the index register .
This  command  reads  the  thumbwheel  switches  to  set  the  number  of  clocks  for 
the  DPN10601 to send out following a G command. For  this command to work 
the thumbwheel enable bit must be enabled. Motion is not activated by this com-
mand, it only sets the index register. This command is used in conjunction with the 
thumbwheel enabled “/” command.

sets the register (N = P - Z). This command is used in conjunction with the analog 
position“:”, the analog position lower limit “{“, and the analog position lower limit “}” 
commands. This command calculates and sets the number of clocks for the DPN10601 to 
send out following a G command. Motion is not activated by this command; it only 
sets the register. (N = P - Z)
This command will send clocks out to the DPN10601. The only commands that 
can stop the clocks are; “.” (stop motion) or “,” (soft limit). Motion can also be 
stoppedby using the limit switch inputs. The ramp profile is specified by the B 
(base speed), M (max speed), and A (acceleration/deceleration) commands.
This command will control the On/Off output, which is designed to connect to the  
on/off input of Anaheim Automation’s step motor drivers. To energize and allow 
current to flow through the coil of the motor, set the value to 1. To de-energize and 
turn the current off to the motor, set the value to 0. This is a dedicated output, and 
not controlled with the output register.

Possible Solutions:
 1) Verify your program for improper syntax that may cause an error code.
  2) Physically press the reset button on the DPN10601 to clear an error .
  3) Another way to clear an error is by using either the SMC60WIN software or the direct mode    
          command instructions set. 
  4) The SMC60WIN can clear an error in the real time motion tab section by clicking on the verify   
      parameters button.
  5) The direct mode command “!” can clear an error by simply prompting the error code register    
          to return the value back to the PC or PLC. 
Note: Read the Error returned to the screen to better understand what can be causing the fault condition. 
The error is returned in binary coded decimal format. If two errors were received, their binary values would
