If desired, new default values can be stored by the user. Note that the updated defaults will only take effect after a card
reset.
The default values are stored in the card’s NVRAM area. As such, writing and reading operations to the default value
area involves special considerations. See Section 2.6.2, “Non-volatile Memory,” for more information on NVRAM
memory operations.
2.6.6.1
C-Motion Commands
The C-Motion command DeviceSetDefault is used to set new default values. The command DeviceGetDefault is used
to read these values back.
For detailed information on these C-Motion commands consult the Prodigy/CME Programmer’s Reference.
2.6.7
Card Undervoltage Monitor
The Prodigy/CME Machine-Controller cards provides an internal logic undervoltage detection circuit. An
undervoltage condition occurs when the card’s 3.3V internal voltage drops below 2.7V.
If a card undervoltage condition occurs the card will be automatically reset. See Section 2.6.5, “Card Reset,” for more
information on the signal and other conditions affected by a card reset. See Section 2.6.4, “Reset Monitor,” to
determine if a reset was caused by an undervoltage condition.
An undervoltage fault is a very serious condition. On the occurrence of an undervoltage fault the user should
immediately power down the card and determine the cause of the fault before repowering the card.
2.6.7.1
C-Motion Commands
There are no user-settable parameters associated with this feature. See Section 2.6.4, “Reset Monitor,” for a description
of the reset monitor, and how to determine what type of reset occurred.
2.6.8
Card Resource Information
There are various resources on the machine controller that contain programmable or otherwise changeable logic. It
may be beneficial to the user to be aware of revision information associated with these logic or firmware entities.
In general, once the user has developed his motion application they may want to query and record the card resource
revision information so that they can be aware of any changes to these revisions in future production units purchased
from PMD, or to allow them to order specific revisions.
Along these lines, the Prodigy/CME Machine-Controller card resource information that may be queried is the card
logic version, the device firmware version, and the dual-ported RAM size.
