FunctionMC_InitAxisPLCopen motion icon

Description

MC_InitAxis initializes a PLCopenClosedA vendor -and product- independent worldwide association active in Industrial Control and aiming at standardizing PLC file formats based on XML Axis' data. A call to this function is automatically generated when the application is compiled, based on the data entered in the PLCopen Axis Data dialog.

Data type

UINT

 

Range

[0,2]

 

Unit

N/A

 

Default

PosErrorLimit

Description

Position error limit – when the Position Error

(command position – actual position) exceeds this value, an E-stop is generated

 

Data type

LREAL

 

Range

 

Unit

User unit

 

Default

InPositionBand

Description

In-position bandwidthClosedIn computer networking, bandwidth often refers to a data rate measured in bits/s, for example, network throughput. The reason for the connection of data rate with the term bandwidth is that the limit to the data rate of a physical communication link is related to its bandwidth in hertz – when the axis actual position is within this distance from its programmed endpoint, the axis is considered “in position”

 

Data type

LREAL

 

Range

 

Unit

User unit

 

Default

Output

OK

Description

Indicates the initialization is complete
