X-Axis Count

-Provides information on the current rotational position of the X servo motor.  This motor is responsible for the left/right (X Axis) motion of the machine carriage.

X-Axis Home

- Provides information on the current STATE or STATUS of the motor relational to an optical sensor that reports either BLOCKED or OPEN. In addition this status is used by the machine during initialization and hoop center commands.

Blocked = The carriage is left of center

Open = The carriage is right of center

 

Y-Axis Count

-Provides information on the current rotational position of the Y servo motor.  This motor is responsible for the forward/back (Y Axis) motion of the machine carriage.

Y-Axis Home

- Provides information on the current STATE or STATUS of the motor relational to an optical sensor that reports either BLOCKED or OPEN. In addition this status is used by the machine during initialization and hoop center commands

Blocked = The carriage is positioned rear of center

Open = The carriage is positioned forward of center

 

Z-Axis Count

-Provides information on the current rotational position of the Z servo motor.  This motor is responsible for the up/down (Z-Axis) motion of the needle.

Z-Axis Index

-Provides the index pulse needed for machine initialization and is used during sewing operation to coordinate carriage motion with needle motion.

Blocked = 0 - 180 degrees of current Z position

Open = 181 - 359 degress of current Z postiion

Z-Axis Safe

- Provides information to the machine related to color change operations.

Blocked = Not at HEADUP

Open = Normal idle state at HEADUP

 

Color Change Index

Blocked = Not on needle center

Open = Machine recognizes that a needle is currently positioned at center (Note: This assume propper needle calibration and should not be used to determine if a needle is correctly centered)

 

Cutter

- Provides information on the current STATE or STATUS of the motor relational to an optical sensor that reports either BLOCKED or OPEN.

Blocked = XT - not at home / XTS - Home

Open = XT - Home / XTS - not at Home

 

Selector

- Provides information on the current STATE or STATUS of the motor relational to an optical sensor that reports either BLOCKED or OPEN.

Blocked = XT - not at home / XTS - Home

Open = XT - Home / XTS - not at Home

 

Grabber

- Provides information on the current STATE or STATUS of the motor relational to an optical sensor that reports either BLOCKED or OPEN.

Blocked = Not at Home

Open = Home

 

Thread Feed

- Provides information on the current STATE or STATUS of the motor relational to an optical sensor that reports either BLOCKED or OPEN. For additional information see the Technical Manual
