Familiarize yourself with the main components of the 6060-PUSH module:

5.2 ti ara Asopọ

The module requires a 12-24V power supply and RS485 communication for control. Use the designated terminal block for connections.

Power and RS485: Connect your 12-24V power supply and RS485 communication lines to the terminal block labeled 'RS485 + POWER 12-24V'. Ensure correct polarity for power.

Iṣagbesori: The module features M4 holes for secure mounting to your desired structure or platform.

5.3 Initial Configuration (Device ID)

Before operation, you may need to set or verify the module's device ID. This is typically done via RS485 commands. For example, to set the ID to '123', you would send the command ID=123\r\n.

6. Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ

The 6060-PUSH module is controlled using specific GRBL-like commands sent over the RS485 interface. These commands allow for checking device status, setting parameters, and controlling linear motion.

6.1 GRBL Command Reference

Below is a list of common commands and their functions:

Akiyesi: \r\n represents carriage return and newline characters, which are typically required at the end of each command.

6.2 Arduino Example (Conceptual)

The following Arduino code snippet illustrates how to interact with the 6060-PUSH module using an M5Stack device. This example assumes an M5Stack with a display and buttons for interaction.

#include <M5Stack.h>
#define RX_PIN      16
#define TX_PIN      17

// ... (other definitions)

int distance = 0;    // Stepper motor movement step value

// ... (header function)

void setup() {
    M5.begin();
    M5.Power.begin();

    header("PUSH 6060", TFT_BLACK);
    M5.Lcd.setTextFont(2);
    M5.Lcd.setTextColor(TFT_WHITE, TFT_BLACK);
    Serial2.begin(9600, SERIAL_8N1, RX_PIN, TX_PIN);  // Configure Serial2
    delay(500);
    Serial2.print("ID=123\r\n");                     // Serial2 outputs ID=123\r\n, configuring 6060 motor ID to 123
}


void loop() {
    if(M5.BtnA.wasPressed()){                      // Button A pressed, send ID\r\n to check 6060 motor ID
      Serial2.print("ID\r\n");
    }
    if(M5.BtnB.wasPressed()){                      // Button B pressed, send ID123:X%d\r\n to control absolute movement, where %d is the variable distance
      if(distance < 50){
         distance +=10;
         Serial2.printf("ID123:X%d\r\n",distance);
      }
    }
    if(M5.BtnC.wasPressed()){                      // Button C pressed, send ID123Z\r\n to return motor to origin
      Serial2.print("ID123Z\r\n");
    }
    if(Serial2.available()){                       // Serial2 receives messages from 6060 and prints them
      char c = Serial2.read();
      Serial.print(c);
    }
    M5.update();
}

This code demonstrates:

• Initializing Serial2 for RS485 communication (RX_PIN 16, TX_PIN 17).
• Setting the module's ID (e.g., to 123).
• Sending commands to check ID, move to an absolute position, and return to origin based on button presses.
• Reading and printing responses from the module.

7. Itọju

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your 6060-PUSH module, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Jeki mimọ: Regularly clean the aluminum profile and moving parts to prevent dust and debris accumulation, which can affect smooth operation.
• Ṣayẹwo Awọn isopọ: Periodically inspect all electrical connections (power and RS485) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
• Lubrication: If the linear guide mechanism shows signs of friction or noise, apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant as recommended for linear bearings.
• Awọn ipo Ayika: Operate the module within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) to prevent damage.
