MC_GearOut

Description

This function block:

• aborts the active MC_GearIn or MC_GearInPos move,
• disengages the axis from its master,
• and commands the axis to continue at its current velocity.

• 
  

• The current velocity is calculated by taking the average of the actual velocity during the previous 16 cycles.

Like a MC_MoveVelocity move, the control continues to command the axis to move at this velocity until this MC_GearOut move is aborted. The Acceleration, Deceleration and Jerk In physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; more precisely, the derivative of acceleration with respect to time input parameters are applied if this command velocity is modified by the MC_SetOverride function block. If this function block is called and the active move is not a MC_GearIn or MC_GearInPos move, this function block returns an error and the active move is not aborted.

• 
  

• The MC_GearOut is done when the slave axis is disengaged from the master axis. Once done, the MC_GearOut will remain busy and active until it is aborted by a different motion function block. This is different behavior than most other motion function blocks. The MC_GearOut function block represents an exception to the exclusivity rule as the Done and Active outputs may be true at the same time.

• 
  
• 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.
