Initial position of the PMP block when the Pipe Network is started.

Modulo

BOOL

FALSE, TRUE

N/A

No default

The available modes are:

  • TRUE = Modulo.
  • FALSE = No modulo.

BOOL

FALSE, TRUE

N/A

Returns TRUE if the function or function block is successfully executing.

See Function - General Rules.

Remarks

  • Initializes a PMP object (Parabolic Motion Profile generator) with user-defined settings.
  • This function block is automatically called by the function Pipe Network(MLPN_CREATE_OBJECTS) if a PMP block is added to the Pipe Network.
    • User-defined settings are entered in the Pipe Blocks Properties screen.
  • The PMP pipe block is assigned a Name, SAMPLING_PERIOD, MODULO_POSITION, FIRST_TRAVEL_SPEED, LAST_TRAVEL_SPEED, ACCELERATION, JERK, and INITIAL Position.
  • Some of these parameters can be changes in an application program using other MLPmp function blocks.
  • An MLPmpRel function block is used to make a bi-directional motion.
    • First movement in one direction, then a return motion back to the initial position.
  • An MLPmpAbs function block is used to move one direction to an absolute position.

  • PMP objects are normally created in the Pipe Network using the graphical engine.
    You do not have to add MLPmpInit function blocks to their programs.
    Parameters are entered directly in pop-up windows and the code is automatically added to the current project.
