In most applications, it will be useful to have a "Jog" feature, where the user can just move his motor (usually at a low rpm) to manually position his load, or feed

material. The user will typically install a pushbutton for Fwd and Rev directions, but, since our Advanced drives do positioning from ASCII commands, the buttons

would be wired into a PLC, and they would trigger the string to be sent to the drive.

Note that the Jogging function in our drives is different in that it requires a command to stop. Normally, when Jogging, merely removing the Jog input stops the jogging

motion, but here, we must send the SJ (Stop Jogging) command to actually stop the drive.

A useful feature is the ability to have multiple jog speeds. You could have a high-speed Jog to drive the motor fast, and then a much lower Jog speed to creep into position.

A "Fast" pushbutton could have the CJ command with a speed value, such as "CJ10" where the drive would Jog at 10 revs per sec, and then a "Slow" button that

sends the "CJ2" command, so the drive would move at 2 revs per second.

The commands used for Jogging are:

CJ

Commence Jogging

JS

Jog Speed

CS

Change Speed

SJ

Stop Jogging

JA

Jog Accel

JL

Jog Decel
