BLINKING ERROR CODES (INDEXER)
The SMC40 Indexer will flash an error code (LED on Indexer Side) . Their will be a slow blink followed by a fast
blink when an error occurs. The number of times that flash slow is first and the fast flash is second.
Example: Five Slow (5)  flashes and Nine Fast (9) flashes, this would indicate that the SMC40 has Error 59
occurring which means you have an Auto Correction Failure on Axis X..
Example:  Nine Slow (9)  flashes and One Fast (1) flash, this would indicate that the SMC40 has Error 91
occurring. Error Code 91 means you have no thumbwheel module connected but you used a command
in your line code. 
						

							SECTION 12ERROR CODES62 USING HYPER TERMINAL 
						

							SECTION 12ERROR CODES63SETTING PARAMETERS
Windows 95 or 98 Is recommended when running this program.
Exit the SMC40 Software before attempting to run Hyper Terminal Program.
1.The first thing you need to do is to Find the Hyper Terminal EXE. At the bottom left corner of your
Windows screen is the Start button.  Click this  icon to locate the Find All Files folder.
2.Click on this Find Icon .
3. Type in under the Named:
Hyper Terminal .
Make sure Look in:
Harddrive (C:)    is displayed.
4Once located, the Hyper Terminal will need to designate a Name and  Icon.  Name HyperTerminal
COMM1 or COMM2 depending on the available Comport.
Warning:  Press the Cancel Button if
your computer tries to select a modem
communications. This setup is not
meant for modem communication,  it is 
						

							SECTION 12ERROR CODES64meant to establish Port Communications with the SMC40 Controller.
SETTING PROPERTIES
1.Under the File Menu select Properties.
2. Select any used Comport.
Direct to Com 2
3.Click on the Configure Button, it will
allow the Port Settings to be Configured.
Baud = 9600
Data Bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop Bits = 1

4. Click on the Advance Button.
The FIFO should be unselected 
						

							SECTION 12ERROR CODES66TERMINAL SETTINGS
1.Under the Settings Section use the following settings:
Select Terminal keys (On)
Emulation: Auto Detect
Backscroll buffer lines: 500
2. Click on ASCII Setup:
Only requirement is have Line Delay = 750
Select Wrap Lines that exceed terminal width (Ö Ö) 
						

							SECTION 12ERROR CODES67CLEARING ERROR CODES ON THE SMC40
Program Checksum Failure (EC 124 on single axis SMC40’s and EC 125 on     Dual or Triple SMC40 Controllers)
The very first screen will have a blank screen as
shown to your right. The user will need to type in the
instructions Procedures as written below:
Note: You may or may NOT see  the first few
commands. Type in FD=1 so that text can be
displayed (full duplex). The program will then begin
showing instructions on the screen.
ProcedureComment
1. @0   Begins Communication
2. @0 IDBoard should return with it’s name and number of axes
3. @0 PA0Turns off Auto Start Mode
4. @0 PQStops all Programs
5. @0 PC RESETResets the SMC40
6. @0 PC CLEARMakes sure all programs are cleared out of memory
7. @0 EC0Clears out the Error Code
8. Board PowerPress the Board Reset button. LED should be on Solid
9. @0Resume Communication. Error is now cleared.
Most Errors can be cleared using the Command EC which clears the Errors.
@0 EC0 Enter EC0 and press Enter 
						

							SECTION 12ERROR CODES68GETTING STARTED
The user will need to type in the following instructions:
Note: You will NOT see  the first few commands. Type
them in as instructed below and the program will then
begin showing instructions on the screen.
1. Type in @0  then ENTER it.
2. Type in  id   then ENTER it.
3. SMC40X-T should now be on the screen.
4. Type in ps, then Press Enter.
5. The Stored Program should have Started.
(The command PA will start a stored program
if a downloaded and auto stored program is
already loaded.)
6. If you have problems communicating,
power the controller down. Exit Hyper
Terminal and Start over from the
beginning. Power up the Controller and
Start Hyper Terminal. 
						

							SECTION 13GLOSSARY69 SECTION 13 - GLOSSARY
Absolute Mode
A positioning coordinate reference wherein all positions are specified relative to some reference, or
home position. This is different from  relative, or incremental programming, where distances are specified
relative to the current position.
Baud Rate
A term used frequently in serial data communications but often is misunderstood. A baud is defined as the
reciprocal of the shortest pulse duration in a data word (signal), including start, stop, and parity bits. This
is often taken to mean the same as bits per second, a term that expresses only  the number of data bits
per second. Very often, the parity bit is included as an information or data bit.
Break Signal
A break is often used to signal a remote computer to stop transmission. Typically a Break Signal is
produced by holding the data terminal  equipment (DTE) transmit data (TXD) low for some time
significantly longer than  the time it takes to send a word.
Daisychain/ MultiDrop
A term used to describe the linking of several RS422/RS232C devices in a sequence such that a single
data stream flows through one device and on to the next. Daisy-chained devices usually are distinguished
by device addresses, which serve to indicate the desired destination for data in the stream.
Debug
A term used to define refinements to a system or program that remove undesirable effects.
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. A memory device frequently used with
microprocessors, that can be erased and reprogrammed with-  out removing it from the circuit. This
creates non-volatile memory; i.e. memory  that wont be lost if the power is turned off.
Hard Limit Switch
A switch (i.e. photo, Hall-effect or mechanical) that defines the absolute limit of motion in a particular
direction. It may be used to prevent collisions  or out-of-bounds conditions.
Home
A reference position in a motion control system, usually derived from a mechanical datum. Often
designated as the zero position.
Home Limit Switch
The switch used to establish the reference position designated home.
Program Counter
The Program Counter is used by the processor to point to the address of the next instruction to be
executed by the processor in the stored program mode.
Mask
A binary-weighted number that conceals some or all of the bits in an associated memory address  or
register.
Relative Mode
A coordinate system where positions or distances are specified relative to the current position. 
						

							SECTION 13GLOSSARY70 Stack
A register or buffer in memory that uses Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) entry and retrieval of data.
Soft Limit Switch
This switch is used exclusively in Homing Mode 0 (zero).If positioned properly for the appropriate
parameters, it causes the motor to ramp down to the Base Speed before encountering the Home Limit
Switch. This ensures that the motor speed is within the start-stop region.
Start-Stop Region
That range of speeds in which a step motor can start, stop, or reverse direction in synchronism with the
external pulse signal.
