Function BlockMC_PhasingPLCopen motion icon

Usage

This function block:

  • performs a master position phase shift for the slave axis
  • provides a way to smoothly apply a master offset instead of writing values directly to the Master Offset Parameter 1002.
  • is commonly used along with MC_TouchProbe for performing position corrections on the slave axis in a Mark to Mark registration application.

Description

The MC_Phasing function block performs a master position phase shift for a slave axis. 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 JerkClosed In physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; more precisely, the derivative of acceleration with respect to time values. The difference is that the interpolated command delta is not commanded to the axis but is, instead, added to the Slave axis’s Master Offset. This will shift the Master axis’s position as viewed by the Slave axis, causing a change in the Slave axis’s physical position. This will only affect 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.
