MLMotionCycleTime

 Function A function calculates a result according to the current value of its inputs. A function has no internal data and is not linked to declared instances. - Returns the Motion Base Cycle time in seconds.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
Enable Enable signal for the drive, Hardware-Enable with 24V signal to X8, Software-Enable command by setup Software, fieldbus or permanently set. Both are required for enabling the drive.	BOOL				Enable execution of the function.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
OK	BOOL			If high, successful completion.
CycleTime	LREAL			PLC Programmable Logic Controller - A digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events. cycle period Motor systems having a reciprocating or oscillating motor that operates synchronously with the periodicity of the source which supplies the electrical energy. The period of execution of a pipe is the time spent between two successive computations of set values for the same pipe. The period of execution of a pipe is specified by the PERIOD parameter of the input pipe block. in seconds.

//Read EtherCAT Ethernet ofr Control Automation Technology.
EtherCAT® is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. 
The development goal of EtherCAT is to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs. cycle rate in seconds
