Remarks


  • This function block starts a motion-related action and stores data for calculations and error checking.
    If using a dual-core controller, see Program a Multi-Core Controller.

This function block:

  • Provides a way to smoothly apply a master offset instead of writing values directly to the Master Offset Parameter 1002.
  • Is commonly used with MC_TouchProbe for performing position corrections on the slave axis in a Mark-to-Mark registration application.

  • 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.
