Motion Library / Pipe Network

The KAS IDEClosed"Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger function library contains ML function blocks that are used to integrate motion from a Pipe Network in a PLCClosed"Programmable Logic Controller" A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events program. ML FunctionClosedA 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 are of the following types:

Function Description
Motion Prepare the physical motion part: init, reset, start, stop (for more details, Motion Library)
Pipe Network Manage the Pipe Network: create/activate (for more details, Motion Library - Pipe Network)
Block Manage the blocks: create/activate (for more details, Motion Library - Block)
Pipe Block Manage each specific Pipe Block: read/write parameters

  • Pipe Network code is generated automatically by the compiler, you should not try to modify it.


  • Click a Pipe Block in the figure to display its description.
