MC_InitAxis

Description

MC_InitAxis initializes a PLCopen A 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.

Input

En	Description	Request to initialize a PLCopen axis
	Data type	BOOL
	Range	0, 1
	Unit	N/A
	Default	—
AxisNumber	Description	Axis number
	Data type	UINT
	Range	[1,256]
	Unit	none
	Default	—
VelocityLimit	Description	Reserved for future use
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	—
	Unit	User unit/sec
	Default	—
LowerLimit	Description	Reserved for future use
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	—
	Unit	User unit
	Default	—
UpperLimit	Description	Reserved for future use
	Data type	LREAL
	Range	—
	Unit	User unit
	Default	—
LimitControl	Description	Reserved for future use
	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 bandwidth In 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 See more details here.
	Data type	BOOL
