NVS Parameter: aldrv spm


Long Name:

steps_per_mm

Applies to:

  • Trendsetter_400/800_Auto
  • Trendsetter_NEWS

  • Description:

    The steps_per_mm parameter is used to calculate the number of steps to move the unload table stepper motor based on a target position specified in millimeters. The value in this parameter must specify the number of pulses that the CY-545 motor conroller needs to output in order to move the unload traveller exactly one millimeter.

    The steps_per_mm parameter assumes an implicit decimal point, i.e. a value of 10 means that it takes exactly 1.0 pulses to move the traveller 1 millimeter.

    Syntax: set aldrv 2 spm

    Other products have more than one stepper motors axis, so used "set aldrv 1" and "set aldrv 2" for the separate axes. The 3244 Trendsetter Autoloader has only one axis, but kept the same parameter structure for consistency.
