MC_MoveDirAbs

Description

MC_MoveDirAbs commands the movement of an axes group to a specified absolute position in the specified coordinate system without taking care of how (on which path) the target position is reached.

- An error is returned if the group is in the GroupDisabled state.
- This function block does not have its own Acceleration, Deceleration, Velocity, and JerkIn physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; more precisely, the derivative of acceleration with respect to time arguments. These are set using MC_AxisSetDefaults.
- The maximum number of axes is set by the MaxNumberOfAxes input set in the MC_CreateAxesGrp function block.

When all motion is completed successfully, the state becomes GroupStandby.
