MC_MoveAbsolute: Absolute positioning of axis as of V6

Description

The "MC_MoveAbsolute" Motion Control instruction starts an axis positioning motion to move it to an absolute position.

Requirements

  • The positioning axis technology object has been configured correctly.

  • The axis is enabled.

  • The axis is homed.

Override response

The MC_MoveAbsolute command can be aborted by the following Motion Control commands:

  • MC_Home command Mode = 3

  • MC_Halt command

  • MC_MoveAbsolute command

  • MC_MoveRelative command

  • MC_MoveVelocity command

  • MC_MoveJog command

  • MC_CommandTable command

The new MC_MoveAbsolute command aborts the following active Motion Control commands:

  • MC_Home command Mode = 3

  • MC_Halt command

  • MC_MoveAbsolute command

  • MC_MoveRelative command

  • MC_MoveVelocity command

  • MC_MoveJog command

  • MC_CommandTable command

Parameters

Declaration

Data type

Default value

Description

Axis

INPUT

TO_PositioningAxis

-

Axis technology object

Execute

INPUT

BOOL

FALSE

Start of the command with a positive edge

Position

INPUT

REAL

0.0

Absolute target position

Limit values:

-1.0E12 ≤ Position ≤ 1.0E12

Velocity

INPUT

REAL

10.0

Velocity of axis

This velocity is not always reached on account of the configured acceleration and deceleration and the target position to be approached.

Limit values:

Start/stop velocity ≤ Velocity ≤ maximum velocity

Direction

INPUT

INT

1

Motion direction of the axis

Is only evaluated with "modulo" enabled. "Technology object > Configuration > Extended parameters > Modulo > Enable Modulo"

Parameter is ignored with PTO axes.

0

The sign for the velocity ("Velocity" parameter) determines the motion direction.

1

Positive direction

(Target position is approached in a positive direction)

2

Negative direction

(Target position is approached in a negative direction)

3

Shortest distance
(Starting from the current position, the technology selects the shortest distance to the target position)

Done

OUTPUT

BOOL

FALSE

TRUE

Absolute target position reached

Busy

OUTPUT

BOOL

FALSE

TRUE

The command is being executed

CommandAborted

OUTPUT

BOOL

FALSE

TRUE

During execution, the command was aborted by another command.

Error

OUTPUT

BOOL

FALSE

TRUE

An error occurred during execution of the command. The cause of the error can be found in parameters "ErrorID" and "ErrorInfo".

ErrorID

OUTPUT

WORD

16#0000
