2) Control the Linear Motor through Blockly UF_Linear_Motor.Blockly
The role of this program: execute this program to control the Linear Motor to reciprocate 10 times at the highest speed(1000mm/s) from the zero position to the farthest position.
15

UFACTORY
Note: 1) Before moving the linear motor for the first time after power on, it is a must to go back to zero position and do initialization first. 2) Click 'Edit' button, can quickly modify the position of Linear Motor.
3.2. Control Linear Motor through Python-SDK
For details on controlling Linear Motor with python-SDK, please refer to the link below: https://github.com/xArm-Developer/xArm-Python-SDK/blob/master/ex ample/wrapper/common/9000-set_linear_track.py
3.3. Indicator
Linear Motor has two indicators, which are at the end plate of Linear
16

UFACTORY
Motor.
1. Power indicator: it will show red light when power on. 2. Status indicator: a steady green light indicates normal status; a flashing green light indicates there is an error.
3.4. IO Control
Linear Motor has three IOs, one Input and two Outputs. SCI1: Emergency stop of Linear Motor, low level effective. SCO0: Output high level, indicating there is an error of Linear Motor. SCO1: Output high level, indicating the position has been reached.

Appendix

Appendix1 - Use Modbus-RTU communication Protocol to Control Linear Motor
1.1 Modbus RTU Communication Format
The Linear Motor defaults to the standard Modbus RTU protocol at a default baudrate is 2Mbps and the slave ID is 0x01. The currently supported function codes are: 0x03 / 0x06/ 0x10. Commonly used address for Linear Motor are: 0x0100, 0x0700, 0x0303, 0x0A0A, 0x0404, 0x004F. If need to store EEPROM, perform an '|' operation with the communication address and 0x1000. For example, write servo operation mode to EEPROM, the communication address(0x0A0B) should be changed to 0x1A0B. Note: Linear Motor needs to be initialized after each powered on.
