MC_MoveDirRel

Description

MC_MoveDirRel commands a movement of an axes group to a relative 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.
  • S-Curve motion is not currently supported. The Jerk input is currently ignored. S-Curve motion and the Jerk argument will be supported in a future release. .

When all motion has completed successfully, the state of the axes group goes to GroupStandby.
