Motion / Common - Motion

Name

Description

MLMotionCycleTime

Returns the Motion Base Cycle time in seconds.

MLMotionInit

Initializes the motion library.

MLMotionRstErr

Clears motion engine errors, motion bus driver errors, and EtherCATClosed ***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 network errors.

MLMotionStart

Starts the motion engine, motion bus driver, clears the EtherCAT diagnostic registers of all nodes, and initializes EtherCAT network to operational mode.

MLMotionStatus

Returns the status of the motion engine 0 (zero).

MLMotionStop

Stops the motion bus driver, motion engine, and EtherCAT network operation, resulting in the EtherCAT network transitioning to the Init state.
