MC_AxisSetDefaults

Description

MC_AxisSetDefaults sets the default kinematic variables for MC_MoveDirAbs and MC_MoveDirRel. These variables are only used with the MC_MoveDir function blocks.

Each axis within the group must have the default kinematic parameters of Velocity, Acceleration, Deceleration, and JerkIn physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; more precisely, the derivative of acceleration with respect to time set to values greater than zero. A non-zero Jerk value will perform an S-Curve rather than a trapezoidal move. Each axis within the group must have these values set before a direct move can be started.

• 
  
• Jerk with a non-zero value is currently not supported for coordinated motion. Jerk parameters are currently ignored.

The function block returns an error if the group state is not GroupStandby or GroupDisabled.

• 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.
