Types of Motor Movement

Once the movement parameters defined in Motor Management are set, motor movements can be carried out. Series drives allow for a range of types of movements using the MOVE instruction. When working with motor control logic, keep the following concepts in mind:

• The drive features an internal counter (Position_Actual_Value object) which is updated every time the motor makes a step.

• The Target position is the position that the motor must reach when a finite number of steps is launched. The Target position is updated every time a finite number of steps is launched.
