In this example, SBS will
walk you through a simple relative move (PR). In order to move a motor,
you will need to communicate with the controller
information about the parameters for the move such as how far to move,
at what speed, and with what acceleration and deceleration. Each of the
commands will be sent
to the terminal for you by SBS when you click its corresponding button,
however you can also type out these commands yourself in the terminal.
Enable the motor
First lets enable the motor. Once enabled, or servoed, the motor will
be under
closed loop control. If you disturb the motor's position by hand,
it will resist and attempt to stay in its original location. The
command to enable the motor is SH.
First lets enable the motor. Once enabled, the coils of the stepper motor
will be energized. If you disturb the motor's position by hand,
it will resist and attempt to stay in its original location. The
command to enable the motor is SH.
Commanding the move
With the motor enabled, the move distance (in encoder
counts) can be defined via the text box below. Speeds and accelerations
will be automatically defined based on the selected distance. Once defined,
the move will be started with the BG command. Pressing the button below will
command the motor to move.
With the motor enabled, the move distance (in microsteps) can be defined via
the text box below. Speeds and accelerations
will be automatically defined based on the selected distance. Once defined,
the move will be started with the BG command. Pressing the button below will
command the motor to move.
The move has now been completed. The motor can be disabled with the
MO command.

If there are additional axes to configure, return to the motor setup
axis selection page. Otherwise, if you are finished setting up your
controller, proceed to the save configuration page.
