Function BlockMC_MoveSuperimpPLCopen motion icon

Usage

This function block:

  • performs a single-axis move which is superimposed upon the active move.
  • provides a way to smoothly apply a shift in axis position while it is executing a move.
  • is commonly used along with MC_TouchProbe for performing position corrections on the slave axis in a Mark to Machine registration application.

Description

This function block provides the ability to cause additional axis motion superimposed upon a currently executing move. A superimposed move is executed like an MC_MoveRelative move using the specified Distance, Velocity (i.e. VelocityDiff), Acceleration, Deceleration, and JerkClosed In physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; more precisely, the derivative of acceleration with respect to time values. The interpolated command generated by a superimposed move is added to the command of the currently executing move. Subsequent calls to MC_MoveSuperimp can abort or blend to an executing MC_MoveSuperimp move.

This function block provides a way to smoothly apply a shift in axis position while it is executing a move.

    1. The CommandAborted is not visible here, because the new command works on the same instance (see general rules)
    2. The end position is between 7000 and 8000, depending on the timing of the aborting of the second command set for the MC_MoveSuperimposed

Example

Structured Text

(* MC_MoveSuperimp ST example *)

Inst_MC_MoveSuperimp( MovSupReq, Axis1, 123.555, 10.0, 100.0, 100.0, 0, 0 );

MovSupDone := Inst_MC_MoveSuperimp.Done; //store Done output into user defined variable
