The axis positions and soft limit locations are usually automatically saved when power is turned off. If this action is not desired, setting inhibit=1 will prevent power down saves. (Default is inhibit = 0
) If the command is given without argument, a save position shutdown will be initiated whereby the axes will be halted, positions saved to flash memory, and the controller placed in a non-responsive condition until power is cycled.
Reply
Upon the start of execution of this command, the controller will reply with a : . When the execution is complete, an A will follow the colon. When a power down condition is detected, an O is transmitted. After the positions are successfully saved, a K is sent.
Note 1: During the time interval between the : and the A , no serial or manual moves should be given.
Note 2: In MS2000 Versions 6.1u and later (see VERSION
command), limit settings (see SETLOW
and SETUP
) are saved if and only if the SAVEPOS
command is issued after the command SAVESET Z
.
Note 3: OK is not transmitted in TG-1000
