BI
FUNCTION: Brushless Inputs
DESCRIPTION:
The command BI is used to define the inputs which are used when Hall sensors have been wired
for sinusoidally commutated motors. These inputs can be the general use inputs (bits 1-8), the
auxiliary encoder inputs (bits 81-96), or the extended I/O inputs (bits 17-80). The Hall
sensors of each axis must be connected to consecutive input lines, for example: BI 3 indicates
that inputs 3,4 and 5 are used for halls sensors.
The brushless setup command, BS, can be used to determine the proper wiring of the hall sensors.
ARGUMENTS: BI n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n
or
BIA=n
where
n is an unsigned integer which represent the first digital input to be used for hall sensor input
n = 0 Clear the hall sensor configuration for the axis.
n = ? Returns the starting input used for Hall sensors for the specified axis.
