 Function BlockClosed A function block groups an algorithm and a set of private data. It has inputs and outputs. - Performs a master positionClosed Position means a point in space which is described by different coordinates. Depending on the used system and transformation it can consist of a maximum of six dimensions (coordinates).This means three Cartesian coordinates in space and coordinates for the orientation. In ACS there can be even more than six coordinates. If the same position is described in different coordinate systems the values of the coordinates are different. phase shiftClosed Compensation for the lag between the electromagnetic and magnetic fields in the motor. for the slave axis.

Velocity setpointClosed The target value that an automatic control system (e.g., PID controller) aims to reach..

AccelerationClosed A change in velocity over time. Because velocity is a vector, it can change in two ways: a change in magnitude and/or a change in direction. In one dimension, acceleration is the rate at which something speeds up or slows down. However, more generally, acceleration is a vector quantity expressing the change with time of the velocity both in magnitude and in direction.

Remarks

This function block:


  • MC_Phasing performs a similar function to adjusting the MasterOffset input in the MC_CamIn function block.
    It has the additional features of setting the velocity, acceleration, deceleration, and jerk motion parameters.
  • The distance entered at the PhaseShift input is iterated into the Slave axis’s Master Offset.
    • This distance is iterated like a MC_MoveRelative move using the specified Velocity, Acceleration, Deceleration, and Jerk values.
  • The difference is the interpolated command delta is not commanded to the axis but is added to the Slave axis’s Master Offset.
    • This shifts the Master axis’s position as viewed by the Slave axis, causing a change in the Slave axis’s physical position.
    • This only affects the Slave axis if it is executing a slave move.
  • Subsequent calls to MC_Phasing can abort or blend to an executing MC_Phasing command.
