Remarks

  • Using the MLPmpRel function block, the PMP Generator produces forward-backward motions with a non-stop, jerk-free transition through zero speed.
  • This function is used to do a single relative move, ending in zero speed, by setting the DeltaSecond argument to zero (0.0).
    • If it is done, for the controlling speed to be the first move, the Last_Travel_Speed parameter must be set equal to or greater than the First_Travel_Speed parameter.
  • The slower of the two speeds is utilized to optimize the S-curve behavior for the move whether it is a 2 or 1 delta move.
  • If the DeltaSecond argument is non-zero, it must have the opposite sign than the sign of the DeltaFirst argument.
