Name

Description

MLMotionCycleTime

Returns the Motion Base Cycle time in seconds.

MLMotionInit

Initializes the motion library.

MLMotionRstErr

Clears motion engine errors, motion bus driverClosed In computing and electronics, a driver is a software component allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a computer hardware device. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware is connected. errors, and EtherCATClosed 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. network errors.

MLMotionStart

Starts the motion engine, motion bus driver, clears the EtherCAT diagnostic registers of all nodes, and initializes EtherCAT network to operational mode.

MLMotionStatus

Returns the status of the motion engine 0 (zero).

MLMotionStop

Stops the motion bus driver, motion engine, and EtherCAT network operation, resulting in the EtherCAT network transitioning to the Init state.
