This method can be used in conjunction with many PLCs (often without special modules) and all industrial computers. The IndexWorks software offers a built-in terminal to be used for this method of control. HyperTerminal, a standard utility of the Windows operating system, may also be utilized to establish communications and programming.
This method also allows for preset table execution, so in applications where certain moves can be configured as pre-determined, this method can execute the preset table moves as well as diverting to different undetermined moves based on the machines modes. This method also supports separate Acceleration and Deceleration for every index move as a temporary parameter.
If used as a Serial Network, up to 16 addressable stations can be configured. The baud rate is settable up to 38.4K, and it supports standard RS232C, RS422 & RS485.
To learn more about the control configuration and Serial Command Functions, please refer to 'Sigma II Indexer User's Manual'.
