a stop.  If the Off-On-Error function is not enabled, the motor will instantaneously stop and servo at the current 
position.  The Off-On-Error function is further discussed in this chapter. 

Selective Abort - The controller can be configured to provide an individual abort for each axis.  Activation of the 
selective abort signal will act the same as the Abort Input but only on the specific axis.  To configure the controller 
for selective abort, issue the command CN,,,1.  This configures the inputs 5,6,7,8,13,14,15,16 to act as selective 
aborts for axes A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H respectively. 

Forward Limit Switch - Low input inhibits motion in forward direction.  If the motor is moving in the forward 
direction when the limit switch is activated, the motion will decelerate and stop.  In addition, if the motor is moving 
in the forward direction, the controller will automatically jump to the limit switch subroutine, #LIMSWI (if such a 
routine has been written by the user).  The CN command can be used to change the polarity of the limit switches. 

Reverse Limit Switch -  Low input inhibits motion in reverse direction.  If the motor is moving in the reverse 
direction when the limit switch is activated, the motion will decelerate and stop.  In addition, if the motor is moving 
in the reverse direction, the controller will automatically jump to the limit switch subroutine, #LIMSWI (if such a 
routine has been written by the user).  The CN command can be used to change the polarity of the limit switches. 

The DMC-1700/1800 provides a programmable error limit.  The error limit can be set for any number between 1 and 
32767 using the ER n command.  The default value for ER is 16384. 

Example: 

ER 200,300,400,500 

Set X-axis error limit for 200, Y-axis error limit to 300, Z-axis error limit to 400 
counts, W-axis error limit to 500 counts 

ER,1,,10 

Set Y-axis error limit to 1 count, set W-axis error limit to 10 counts. 

The units of the error limit are quadrature counts.  The error is the difference between the command position and 
actual encoder position.  If the absolute value of the error exceeds the value specified by ER, the controller will 
generate several signals to warn the host system of the error condition. These signals include: 

# POSERR 

Jumps to automatic excess position error subroutine 

Error Light 

Turns on 

OE Function 

Shuts motor off if OE1 

AEN Output Line

The Jump on Condition statement is useful for branching on a given error within a program.  The position error of 
X,Y,Z and W can be monitored during execution using the TE command. 

The DMC-1700/1800 provides programmable forward and reverse position limits.  These are set by the BL and FL 
software commands.  Once a position limit is specified, the DMC-1700/1800 will not accept position commands 
beyond the limit. Motion beyond the limit is also prevented.
