MC_MoveAdditive

PLCopen motion icon

Function Block - Performs a single-axis move for a specified distance from the endpoint of the previous move.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
Execute	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	No default	On the rising edge, request to queue the move.
Axis	AXIS_REF	1 to 256	N/A	No default	Name of a declared instance of the AXIS_REF library function. See Modify PLCopen Axis for more information. See AXIS_REF Structure.
Distance	LREAL	No range	User units	No default	Distance to add to the endpoint of the previous move.
Velocity	LREAL	No range	User unit/sec	No default	Velocity setpoint.
Acceleration	LREAL	No range	User unit/sec²	No default	Trapezoidal: Acceleration rate. S-curve: Maximum acceleration. See S-curve and Trapezoidal Acceleration / Deceleration.
Deceleration	LREAL	No range	User unit/sec²	No default	Trapezoidal: Deceleration rate. S-curve: Unused. See S-curve and Trapezoidal Acceleration / Deceleration.
Jerk	LREAL	No range	User unit/sec³	No default	Trapezoidal: 0 (zero). S-curve: Constant jerk. See S-curve and Trapezoidal Acceleration / Deceleration.
BufferMode	SINT	0, 5	N/A	No default	0 = Abort. 1 = Buffer. 2 = Blend to active. 3 = Blend to next. 4 = Blend to low velocity. 5 = Blend to high velocity. See Buffer Modes for detailed information.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
Done	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates the move completed successfully. The Command Position has reached the endpoint.
Busy	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	High from the moment the Execute input goes high until the time the move is ended.
Active	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates this move is the Active move.
CommandAborted	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates the move was aborted.
Error	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates either: An invalid input was specified. The move was terminated due to an error.
ErrorID	INT	No range	N/A	Indicates the error if Error output is TRUE. See PLCopen Function Block ErrorIDs.

Remarks

This function block starts a motion-related action and stores data for calculations and error checking.
If using a dual-core controller, see Call Function Blocks Multiple Times in the Same Cycle.

See Function Blocks - General Rules about how inputs and outputs work.
It is typically used with Abort specified at the BufferMode input.
- If BufferMode is not Abort, this move is identical to an MC_MoveRelative.

Time Diagram

These images show two examples of the combination of two Function Blocks (FBs) while the axis is in Discrete Motion state:

The left part of the diagram illustrates when the second FB is called after the first one.
- If the first reaches the commanded distance 6000, and the velocity is 0 (zero), the output Done causes the second FB to move to the distance 10000.
The right part of the diagram illustrates when the second move FB starts the execution while the first FB is still executing.
- The first motion is interrupted and aborted by the Test signal during the constant velocity of the first FB.
- The second FB:
  - Adds on the previous commanded position of 6000 the distance 4000.
  - Moves the axis to the resulting position of 10000.
