Command module for motor control system

摘要

A command module (28) is provided for allowing a user to send commands to one or more motor controls (14) interconnected to a communications network. The command module (28) includes a micro-controller (374) interconnected to the communications network, a configuration device (362a-362h) and a plurality of selection devices (364a-364f). By depressing one of the selection devices (364a-364f), an activation signal is sent to the micro-controller (374) which, in turn, transmits a command signal to a corresponding motor control (14) over the communications network. The configuration device (362a-362h) has a plurality of user selected settings. Each setting of the configuration device (362a-362h) dictates the command signal transmitted by the micro-controller (374).
