DMC-1400 Series Command Reference TS ● 203
TS
FUNCTION: Tell Switches
DESCRIPTION:
TS returns the state of the Home switch, Forward and Reverse Limit switch, error conditions,
motion condition and motor state. The value returned by this command is decimal and
represents an 8 bit value (decimal value ranges from 0 to 255). Each bit represents the
following status information.
BIT STATUS
Bit 7 Axis in motion if high
Bit 6 Error limit exceeded if high
Bit 5 Motor off if high
Bit 4 Undefined
Bit 3 Forward Limit inactive if high
Bit 2 Reverse Limit inactive if high
Bit 1 State of home switch
Bit 0 Latch not armed if high
Note: The value for bits 1, 2 and 3 depend on the limit switch and home switch configuration
(see CN command). For active low configuration (default), these bits are ‘1’ when the switch
is inactive and ‘0’ when active. For active high configuration, these bits are ‘0’ when the
switch is inactive and ‘1’ when active.
