Function BlockMC_MoveDirAbsPLCopen motion iconPipe Network motion icon

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.

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

Input

Execute Description On the rising edgeClosedA rising edge is the transition of a digital signal from low to high. It is also called positive edge, request to perform a direct absolute move.
  Data Type BOOL
  Range 0, 1
  Unit N/A
  Default
AxesGroup Description Reference to an axes group
  Data Type AXES_GROUP_REF
  Range
  Unit N/A
  Default
Position[ ] 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
CoordSystem Description

The coordinate system used when commanding the direct absolute move

Currently, only the ACS coordinate system is supported. See Coordinate Systems to learn more.
