| Summary | Park or unpark the device. |
This command allows a device to maintain its position reference over a power cycle without requiring homing. This feature is useful when a device needs to be powered down but a Home procedure is not desired at next power up.
- Parking
- To Park the device, issue command 65 with data value of 1. Device will store its internal position settings and shut off all current to the motor. Device can now be powered down.
- Unparking
- To Unpark the device, issue command 65 with data value of 0. Device will resume its previous internal settings and enable current to the motor. Current Position is now set to that when device was parked.
- When a device is parked, no current is applied to the motor. Any movement command except Home results in an error response.
- A parked device can be identified by its power LED (green) fading in and out slowly.
- A parked device returns 65 upon Return Status (Cmd 54).
- Exception: Firmware version 6.01 returns 0.
- A parked device becomes unparked when one of the following commands is received:
- If the device is displaced while parked, the device should be parked again before powering down.
- If the device is displaced since last parked or during powered off, a Homing procedure is required at the next start up. Unparking a displaced device will not resume correct settings.
- If a device is not parked, an unpark command has no effect on the device.
