MLMotionCycleTime

 Function A 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. - Returns the Motion Base Cycle time in seconds.

Inputs

Enable

BOOL

Enable execution of the function

Outputs

Ok	BOOL	If high, successful completion.
CycleTime	LREAL	PLC "Programmable Logic Controller" A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events cycle period in seconds.

Example

Structured Text

//Read EtherCAT ***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs cycle rate in seconds
CycleTime := MLMotionCycleTime();
