xMCy Move continuously. Direction is set by y parameter sign. y absolute value is not used. If necessary, apply VF command to set stepper motor speed. Consider trapezoidal and gear mode. Motion is disabled if Error bit is set. Then reset Error bit and read error code by ER command. Use xST0 command to stop the motion - Yes N/A

SYNTAX    xMCy, where x controller address (axis number).
PARAMETER y [number] sets number of micro steps to be moved. 1 micro step = 1/8 of motor step. The sign sets the direction of rotation.
Range    -2000000000...2000000000.
DESCRIPTION: When command received, the selected axis x will move continuously, with the predefined acceleration and velocity. It never stop by itself. Commands xMV0 (hard break), xST0 (soft break) break the motion. Command 0ST0 stops the motion off all axes. Every sequential motion command can overwrite the last motion command during it execution. You must use x? command to test motion status, before sending next motion command to SP1 controller.
Note: MC command is disabled in service mode. In default mode, the controller instantly breaks the motor motion and stops, if hardware limit switch is connected short (the switch testing can be disabled/enabled by RL, LL commands). The case can be tested by x? command, which returns -1. All motion commands remain disabled until error code is read by ER command.
