  • The value returned is the state being executed by the TMP generator as it processes the various motion commands.
  • Some states are transitory, others are stable until the next event takes place.

These terms are relevant to the returned values:

Term

Definition

Running

Speed is non-zero.

Stopped

Speed is 0 (zero).

Positioning

A target position has been programmed with a relative, additive, or absolute command.

Status Definitions

Status

Definition

0

New speed programmed is entered when both:

  • A jog move (MLMstRun) is commanded.
  • The current speed is not at the commanded speed.

1

Stable state Running or Stopped is entered when both:

  • A jog move (MLMstRun) is commanded.
  • The current speed is at the commanded speed.

Stable state Running or Stopped is entered when both:

  • A position move is programmed.
  • Motion is completed.

2

Speed change is entered when the current speed is greater than the commanded speed.

3

Speed reversal while positioning is entered when both:

  • A position move is programmed.
  • The distance to go requires a speed reversal.

4

Acceleration while positioning current speed is below the travel speed.

5

Constant Speed while positioning is entered when both:

  • A positioning move is commanded.
  • The current speed is at the commanded speed.

6

Deceleration while positioning is entered when both:

  • A positioning move is commanded.
  • The current speed is changing to achieve the target position at 0 (zero) speed.

7

Micro step is entered when both:

  • A small change in position is required.
  • The current speed is 0 (zero).
