Zero Position/Set Target Command

Character: Z
Decimal: 90
Hexadecimal: 0x5A
Command Value: New Target Position

 

This command is used to set the Target Position to any value. This command also changes the Command Position and Actual Position by the difference between the new target position and the old target position.

When this command is issued to absolute positioned axes such as MDT, SSI (linear), and analog, the Offset parameter is adjusted in order to make the position match the requested position. On resolver axes, the Count Offset parameter is adjusted to make the position match the requested position. If you wish to store the Count Offset or Offset to non-volatile memory, you must issue the Update Flash Command.

If the axis is in motion when the ’r;Z’ command is issued, it will continue moving to the same physical location it was originally going to, but the indicated position will be different.

This command requires firmware 20000918 or newer, but for best results, use only in versions 20011015 or newer.
