Device-specific
commands
require
that
a device
address
precede them.
The
AX
will
not
execute a devtce-speciflc
command
if
there
is
no
device
address
preceding
the
command.
or
if
the
device
address
setting
in
the
AX
does
not
match
the
address
preceding
the
command.
Universal
commands
do
not
require device identifiers preceding
them.
A
universal
command
with
no
device
address
will
be
executed
regardless of
the
address
setting
of
the
AX.
If
a device
address
does precede a universal
command.
it will only
be
executed
by
an
AX
set
to
that
particular
address.
The E (Enable RS-232 communication)
and
F (Disable RS-232
communication)
commands
are
useful
in
a
daisy
chain
for
locking
out
particular
indexers
from
responding
to
universal
commands
with
no
preceding device
address.
NOTE:
The
F command.
will
keep the
AXfrom
executing
any
commands
(except the E command)
sent
to
it
over
the RS-232C
interface.
but
will
not
prevent
the
commandJrom
being
echoed.
For
Example.
to
lock-out
the
AX
unit
set
to device
address
1.
so
that
universal
commands
are
only executed
by
the
AX's
set
to
address
2
and
3.
the
following
step
is perfonned:
•
Send
the
IF
command
over
the
RS-232C
communication
line. locking
out
the
AX
at
device
address
1.
All
universal
commands
(with
no
preceding device address)
will now
be
executed only
by
the
AX's
at
Device
addresses
2
and
3. Entering a
2F
command
in
addition to
IF
command
would allow only
the
AX
at
device
address
3
to
execute
universal
commands
with
no
preceding device
address.
This
ellminates
the
need
to precede every
command
intended
for a
specific
AX
(in
this
case.
the
AX
at
device
address
3)
with a
device address.
Sending
an
E
command
over
the
RS-232C line
will re-enable all drives previously
disabled
with
the
F
command. Preceding
the
E
command
with
a device
address
will re-enable only
the
AX
set
to
that
particular
device
address.
When
using
the
XU
command
to upload
the
contents
of a
specified
sequence
from
an
AX
in
a daisy-chain.
it
is
necessary
to disable all
the
drives
in
the
chain
that
come
after
the
drive being queried with
the
F
command
(as described
above).
This
will
prevent
subsequent
drives from executing
the
commands
being
sent
back
to
the
tenninal.
See
the
XU
command
description
in
Chapter
5. Software
