MC_SetPos

Description

This function block changes the present actual position of the axis (as reported by MC_ReadActPos) to the position specified by the Position and Mode inputs. If a motor is associated with the axis, it will not move when MC_SetPos is executed. MC_SetPos does not cause any motion. It applies an offset to the command and actual positions.

MC_SetPos also sets the accumulated Superimposed distance value for the input axis to 0. See the table in Axis Positions Data.

This function block replaces the MC_SetPosition function.

Arguments

For more detail on how inputs and outputs work, refer to PLCopenA vendor -and product- independent worldwide association active in Industrial Control and aiming at standardizing PLC file formats based on XML FunctionA function calculates a result according to the current value of its inputs. A function has no internal data and is not linked to declared instances. Blocks - General Rules.

Inputs

Execute	Description	Requests to change the axis position
	Data type	BOOL
	Range	0,1
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
Axis	Description	Name of a declared instance of the AXIS_REF library function. For more details Modify PLCopen Axis.
	Data type	AXIS_REF Structure
	Range	[1,256]

Position	Description	Absolute Mode: New Axis Position to replace the present position. Relative Mode: Position offset to apply to present position (typically used with multiturn absolute position feedback devices).
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	—
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
Mode	Description	LOW = Position input is an absolute position HIGH = Position input is a relative position

	Default	—

Outputs

Done	Description	Indicates the reference move and position adjustment is complete
Done	Data type	BOOL
Busy	Description	Indicates this function block is executing
	Data type	BOOL
Error	Description	Indicates an invalid input, or the move was terminated due to an error
	Data type	BOOL
ErrorID	Description	Indicates the error if the Error output is high See table in PLCopen Function Block ErrorID Output

Example

Structured Text

(* MC_SetPos ST"Structured text"
A high-level language that is block structured and syntactically resembles Pascal example *)
Inst_MC_SetPos ( Axis1 , 0, 0 );
//Inst_MC_SetPos is an instance of MC_SetPos function

(* MC_SetPos absolute mode example: Set position value to zero. *)
Inst_MC_SetPos ( Axis1 , 0, 0 );
//Inst_MC_SetPos is an instance of MC_SetPos function

(* MC_SetPos relative mode example: Increase position value by 1000. *)
Inst_MC_SetPos ( Axis1 , 1000, 1 );
//Inst_MC_SetPos is an instance of MC_SetPos function
