Note: This parameter error has been eliminated in RMC100 CPU firmware dating 19991130 or later. In this newer firmware all speeds are allowed.
This parameter error occurs when, for a Sine Move command, the time it would take to move at the requested maximum speed exceeds 65.535 seconds, resulting in an internal overflow. There are several alternatives if you receive this error:
Reduce the distance you wish to move with the Sine Move command.
Increase the maximum speed in your Sine Move command.
If you cannot reduce the distance traveled or increase the speed, then perhaps you should use a Go command with a Sine profile. The advantage of the Go command is that you can select to have the ramp up and ramp down stages of the move to be almost any length and travel at the maximum velocity in between. This is more efficient: you will be able to move farther over a shorter amount of time than with a Sine Move. The Sine Move command never moves at constant velocity; it ramps up for half the distance and then ramps down over the second half.
If you really wish to make a Sine Move that takes longer than 65.535 seconds, then consider upgrading to RMC100 CPU firmware dating 19991130 or newer.
