MC_MoveCircAbs

Description

MC_MoveCircAbs commands interpolated circular movement on an axes group to the specified absolute positions in the coordinate system as specified by the 'CoordSystem' argument. See Circular Moves Diagrams for detailed information on the movement options.

- An error is returned if the group is in the GroupDisabled state.
- An error is returned if the input parameters do not meet the required precision. See Precision Requirements for Circular Move Input Parameters for more information.

- Circular motion is only supported for axes groups with only two attached axes
- S-Curve motion is not currently supported. The JerkIn physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; more precisely, the derivative of acceleration with respect to time 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.

Arguments

Input

Execute	Description	On the rising edgeA rising edge is the transition of a digital signal from low to high. It is also called positive edge request to perform a circular absolute move
	Data type	BOOL
	Range	0, 1
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
AxesGroup	Description	The axis group that will perform the circular absolute move
	Data type	AXIS_GROUP_REF
	Range	n/a
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
CircMode	Description	Specifies the meaning of the AuxPoint[ ] input.
	Data type	SINT One of the following enumeration values: MC_CIRC_MODE_BORDER = 0 MC_CIRC_MODE_CENTER = 1
	Range	n/a
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
AuxPoint[]	Description	Array of absolute positions for each axis in the group. The meaning depends on the value of the CircMode input: MC_CIRC_MODE_BORDER: AuxPoint defines a point on the circle which is crossed on the path from the starting to the end point. MC_CIRC_MODE_CENTER: AuxPoint defines the center point of the circle.
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	[0, Number of axes in group - 1]
	Unit	n/a
	Required Precision	1 part in 100,000. See Precision Requirements for Circular Move Input Parameters.
	Default	—
EndPoint[]	Description	Array of absolute end positions for each axis in the group
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	[0, Number of axes in group - 1]
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
	Required Precision	1 part in 100,000. See Precision Requirements for Circular Move Input Parameters.
PathChoice	Description	Specifies the direction of the path. This argument is only relevant when CircMode is MC_CIRC_MODE_CENTER.
	Data type	SINT One of the following enumeration values: MC_CIRC_PATHCHOICE_CLOCKWISE = 0 = Clockwise MC_CIRC_PATHCHOICE_COUNTERCLOCKWISE = 1 = Counterclockwise
	Range	n/a
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
Velocity	Description	Maximum velocity of the defined path
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	0 < Velocity < ( 20 * Acceleration ) and 0 < Velocity < ( 20 * Deceleration) See Limitations on Acceleration and Jerk for more information.
	Unit	user units per second
	Default	—
Acceleration	Description	Maximum acceleration
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	0 < Velocity < ( 20 * Acceleration ) See Limitations on Acceleration and Jerk for more information.
	Unit	user units per second²
	Default	—
Deceleration	Description	Maximum Deceleration
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	0 < Velocity < ( 20 * Deceleration ) See Limitations on Acceleration and Jerk for more information.
	Unit	user units per second²
	Default	—
Jerk	Description	Maximum jerkIn physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; more precisely, the derivative of acceleration with respect to time
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	For trapezoidal velocity profiles: 0 For S-Curve velocity profiles: ( Velocity / 20 ) < Acceleration < ( 2 * Jerk ) and ( Velocity / 20 ) < Deceleration < ( 2 * Jerk ) See Limitations on Acceleration and Jerk for more information. S-Curve motion is currently not supported and the Jerk input is currently ignored. S-Curve motion and the Jerk argument will be supported in a future release.
	Unit	user units per second³
	Default	—
CoordSystem	Description	The coordinate system used when commanding the circular absolute move. Currently, only the ACS coordinate system is supported. See Coordinate Systems to learn more.
	Data type	SINT
	Range	One of the following enumeration values: MC_COORDINATE_SYSTEM_ACS = 0 MC_COORDINATE_SYSTEM_MCS = 1 MC_COORDINATE_SYSTEM_PCS = 2
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
BufferMode	Description	Defines the chronological sequence of the function block relative to the previous block. The blending modes (2, 3, 4, & 5) match the path velocity at the active move's endpoint. Some individual axis velocities may make an abrupt change if the path of the next move travels in a different direction. A transition move may be programmed at the `TransitionMode` input to avoid this. See the table in Buffer Modes.
	Data type	SINT One of the following enumeration values: MC_BUFFER_MODE_BUFFERED = 1 = Buffered MC_BUFFER_MODE_BLENDING_PREVIOUS = 2 = Blending Previous MC_BUFFER_MODE_BLENDING_NEXT = 3 = Blending Next MC_BUFFER_MODE_BLENDING_LOW = 4 = Blending Low MC_BUFFER_MODE_BLENDING_HIGH = 5 = Blending High BufferMode = Abort = 0 is not allowed with this function block.
	Range	—
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
TransitionMode	Description	Coupled with the TransitionParameter[ ], this input defines the shape and dynamics of the inserted contour to connect the current motion with the next motion in the queue. See Transition Between Moves for additional information.
	Data type	SINT
	Range	The value is limited to the following: MC_TRANSITION_MODE_NONE = 0 MC_TRANSITION_MODE_CORNER_DISTANCE = 3
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
TransitionParameter[ ]	Description	This array is dependent on the TransitionMode specified. The transition parameter values are applied to the axis group. See Transition Mode Parameters for details.
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	[1, N] N values are supplier specified dependent on the TransitionMode selected.
	Unit	n/a
	Default	—
