i-Motor Status Byte and Word Breakdown

Print Friendly and PDF

For troubleshooting or reacting to an error condition, there are two commands that give an immense amount of information about the condition of your i-Motor. These two commands are listed below.

PS = Print Status Byte
PW = Print Status Word

Below is a breakdown of each status command. Note, you can query the individual bits as well, but this is not as efficient.

STATUS BYTE (PS)
Bit Name Description Bit # Value Notes
Fo Motor ON/OFF Status 7 128 Real Time
Fh Excessive Temperature Occurred 6 64 Real Time
Fe Excessive Position Error Occurred 5 32 Historical, Reset by "G"
Fw Wraparound Occurred 4 16 Historical, Reset by "G", "TM" or "Zw"
Fi Index Report Available 3 8 Historical, Reset by "PI" or using the "I" operand
Fl Historical Left Limit 2 4 Historical, Reset by "Zl", "ZS", "PS" or "PW"
Fr Historical Right Limit 1 2 Historical, Reset by "Zr", "ZS", "PS" or "PW"
Ft Trajectory in Progress 0 1 Real Time

STATUS WORD (PW)
Bit Name Description Bit # Value Notes
Fk Over Current State Occurred 15 32768 Real Time
Fa Over Current State Occurred 14 16384 Historical, Reset by "Za" or "ZS"
Fs Syntax Error Occurred 13 8192 Historical, Reset by "Zs" or "ZS"
Fu User Array Index Range Error Occurred 12 4096 Historical, Reset by "Zu" or "ZS"
