smc03a status led

Hi everybody,

I would like to know if someone can explain me how to interpret the status of the board based on the outputs available for LED on pin 4 (green LED) and pin 6 (red LED).

Is the meaning of these two LED outputs the same both for Position Mode and Speed Mode?

I would like to connect these two lines to a PC to have a kind of feedback.

Thank you in advance for your support.
Ciao, Roberto

Hello,

Here you go:

Feedback modes:
red on: motor speed at max
green on: error magnitude less than or equal to 1
(In RC mode, both LEDs on for no signal)
(In serial mode, red or green light flashes for serial too slow or to fast)

serial input, no feedback
red LED: motor error
green LED: on if motor speed not 0

RC input, no feedback
red LED on: bad RC signal
green LED on: good RC signal

analog input, no feedback
red LED for one direction, green LED for other direction

Hi Jan,
thank you very much for your help
and prompt answer.
Now its clear to me.
I developed a VI within National Instruments LabVIEW to drive the SMC03A board and to program it with new parameters settings, if someone is interested you just have to ask me and I will send the source code.
Ciao.
