Description
Conversion false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR conversion factor for steps to units
Position false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR The current or target position in units
UnitLimitMin false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR Minimum position limit. If not set, will default to -1.

When both min and max are set to 0, the limit will be ignored.

The motors do not have end switches and the controller does not stop
generating pulses when the wall is hit. If this happens, your position
is lost. So make sure you set the limits properly.
UnitLimitMax false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR Maximum position limit. If not set, will default to 1.

When both min and max are set to 0, the limit will be ignored.

The motors do not have end switches and the controller does not stop
generating pulses when the wall is hit. If this happens, your position
is lost. So make sure you set the limits properly.
MotorType false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_SHORT OPERATOR The type of the connected motor.

0: no motor connected
1: motor type unknown
2: tiny motor
3: standard motor

Be aware that this simply reports the present motor type
setting in controller memory. It`s not a check to determine whether the setting is still valid.

If motors have been removed and reconnected to different controller channels or if this is
the first time, connecting this system standalone (NO RS485 LAN) and running MC/QM
is recommended (use the controller device Write command).
Speed false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The axis velocity in steps/sec , min 0, max 2000
Acceleration false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The axis acceleraion in steps/sec2, min 1, max 200000
StoredPosition false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG EXPERT Position in steps. This attribute is memorized and updated after every
move. The value is used to recalibrate the position value (command `DH`) at server start
in case the controller was switched off. Never edit this manually.
