The guide (printed version) has one page devoted to each mechanism. This means all the information pertinent to a particular mechanism is in one place. The information given on each mechanism ties the hardware and 4MS software together. It is also intended to help decipher the diagnostic messages returned from the 4MS.
The document is supplied in a loose leaf format, allowing it to be arranged in the manner most convenient to the user. It is suggested however that it be arranged in order of the Stepper Motor boxes i.e. box Al - 4, Bl- 4 etc. Much of the other documentation is arranged in this fashion.
This is a draft copy. Any comments or criticisms you have that will make the document more useful would be welcome.

MNEMONIC ...........................Three character mnemonic. Used in ethernet datagrams and 4MS software to reference mechanism.
PERMITTED OPS. ..................Operations mechanisms permitted to
perform. Possible ops. are Re-program SMDM, Barcode table
read, Stop, Move, Initialise, Read barcodes, Delayed status,
lmmediate status.
SMDM .....................................Stepper Motor Drive Module driving the mechanism.
CHANNEL# ............................Channel of SMDM driving the mechanism.
BCRM ......................................BarCode Reader Module associated with the mechanism.
CHANNEL# ............................Channel of BCRM associated with the mechanism.
POSITION ...............................Possible positions of mechanism. Listed across the page or given as a range.
STEPS ......................................Number of steps for a given position. Listed below relevant position or given as steps per unit of displacement.
DATUM SWITCHES ..............Value seen in the DATUM SWITCH entry in status messages or 4MS status table. Listed under relevant position.
SWITCH# ................................Physical switch number, referred to on wiring diagram.
SOLENOIDS ...........................Value seen in SOLENOIDS entry in status messages or 4MS status table. Description of operation or listed under position.
SOLENOID# ...........................Physical solenoid number, referred to on wiring diagram.
ENCODER ..............................If mechanism has an encoder, its type, circuit reference number and manufactures part number are given.
HOST/PIGGY-BACK .............Some mechanisms share the same SMDM channel.
A "main" or HOST mechanism will have a second
or PIGGY-BACK mechanism sharing its channel.
INTERLOCKS ........................A brief description of any INTERLOCKS generated by or effecting the mechanism is given.
NOTE: Any special conditions associated with the mechanism are noted
here if required.

NOTE: On execution of a BARCODE READ (180) command, the codes
of all five filters in the tray will be read and put into a table within
the 4MS. To read this table it necessary to send a MCB280 status request.
This will return all five code values together with their confidence factors.
