The servo sub-system controls 2 axes of movement. The axis number must be specified when using each one of the following commands:

Command Description
   
ABA Sets/returns the absolute acceleration
ABP Sets a target position for a subsequent move
ABV Sets/returns the absolute velocity
ACP Returns the current encoder position
AXIS Enable/Disable specified axis servo amplifier
AXS Returns the axis status word
DSP Returns the desired encoder position
ERL Sets/returns the position error limit
FHM Finds home
FIL Sets/returns PID filter integration limit
FKD Sets/returns PID filter derivative constant
FKI Sets/returns PID filter integration constant
FKP Sets/returns PID filter proportional constant
FLT Sets/returns all PID filter constants
FSI Sets/returns PID filter derivative sampling interval
IDX Returns current index position
LIMIT Sets/returns 'software stops' for the servo motor
RDS Returns the integration sum
STT Starts the motor on a move
VHM Verify home position
WAI Wait for move to complete
WCNT Sets/returns the 'wait count' parameter
WMD Sets/returns the 'wait mode' parameter
WTMO Sets/returns the 'wait time out' parameter
WTOL Sets/returns the 'wait tolerance' parameter
