Communications
Baud Rates
A term used frequently in serial data communications. 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. This unit accepts a baud rate of 115200 only and
protocol settings of 1 start...

Axis Selection
Each controller will be addressed using a  two position dip switch allowing the PC to address up to 4
controllers from one port.  The switch is located on top of the unit.

Unit Selection
In order to select a unit the @ command followed by the address of the unit must be sent.
NOTE: There should be no spaces between the @ and address select.
How to select a unit:
@0 (Unit 0 is selected)
@1 (Unit 1 is selected)
@3 (Unit 3 is selected)
How to get a response from a unit:
@0$ (Carriage Return)
After the $ command, the controller will return an ESS06 + the current...

A - Acceleration/Deceleration
Format: A#_ [value] ex:@0A1_10000
Description: This command sets the acceleration profile based on the following function
Speed 2 = Accel/Speed 1 + Speed 1
Each axis has its own accel value and needs to be entered in separately for each
one. This value must be set before motion begins.
Range: 100 - 999,999 Default:1000
B - Base Speed
Format: B#_ [value] ex:@0B4_100
Description: This command sets the base (start) speed for motion. This value must be...

G - Go
Format: G# ex:@0G5
Description: This command tells the given axis to move the number of steps set in the index
register for that axis. All speed profile information must be set for the given axis
before this command is used.
I -Index Distance
Format: I#_[value] ex:@0I6_4000
Description: This command sets the number of steps for the motor to move following a G
command.  Each axis has its own index value and needs to be entered in
separately for each one. This value must be...

+ - Direction Clockwise
Format: + ex:@0+
Description: This command sets the direction for all of the axes to clockwise. A value of 1 will
be sent back to the PC after this command is received. This is the default value
for direction
- - Direction Counter-Clockwise
Format: - ex:@0-
Description: This command sets the direction for all of the axes to counterclockwise. A value
of 0 will be sent back to the PC after this command is received.
$ - Version Number Register
Format : $...

Troubleshooting
Problem:
Can not establish communications with the controller.
Possible Solutions:
1) Make sure the controller has power.
2) Check RS485 connections.
3) Check for loose cable connection either on the controller or COM Port.
4) Verify that the address is correct
9) If problems still exist, contact Anaheim Automation Tech Support...
Problem:
