MC_MoveRelative

Description

This function block executes a single-axis move for a specified distance to perform incremental motion.

Time Diagram

The following figure shows the example of the combination of two relative move 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:

• The left part of timing diagram illustrates the case if the Second Function BlockA function block groups an algorithm and a set of private data. It has inputs and outputs. is called after the First one. If First reaches the commanded distance 6000 (and the velocity is 0) then the output Done causes the Second FB to move to the distance 10000
• The right part of the timing diagram illustrates the case if the Second move Function Blocks starts the execution while the First FB is still executing. In this case the First motion is interrupted and aborted by the Test signal during the constant velocity of the First FB. The Second FB adds on the actual position of 3250 the distance 4000 and moves the axis to the resulting position of 7250

• This function block starts a motion-related action and therefore stores data for calculations and error checking. Please see Calling Function Blocks Multiple Times in the Same Cycle if you are using a dual-core controller.
