Compound Initiate
Index.#.CompoundInitiate
When activated will initiate the specified Index to compound into the next index in the program. Only allowed in a program.
Deceleration
Index.#.Decel
This parameter is the Average Deceleration rate used during the index. Units are specified on the User Units page.
Decelerating
Index.#.Decelerating
This source is active while an index is decelerating from its target velocity. Once the index reaches zero velocity, or its next
target velocity, the Index.#.Decelerating source will deactivate.
Distance
Index.#.Dist
This parameter is the Incremental distance that the index will travel or the absolute position for the specified index in user
units. If an index type of Registration is selected, then this is a limit distance, or the maximum distance the index will travel if a
registration sensor is not seen.
Index Time
Index#.IndexTime
This parameter is used in conjunction with the Index.TimeIndexEnable parameter. If TimeIndexEnable is activated, then this is
the time in which an index should complete its programmed distance. The units for this parameter depend on the current
setting of the TimeBase parameter for the specific index. If TimeBase is set to “Realtime” (default), then the units are Seconds.
The user can program the index time with resolution on 0.001 Seconds (or milliseconds). If TimeBase is set to “Synchronized”,
the units defined by the Master Distance Units found on the Master Units view.
Initiate
Index.#.Initiate
The Index.#.Initiate destination is used to initiate the specific index. The Index is initiated on the rising edge of this function. An
Index cannot be initiated if there is an Home, Jog, or Program in progress, or if the Stop destination or if a travel limit is active.
It can be activated from an assignment or from a program.
Limit Distance Hit
Index.#.LimitDistHit
This source is activated when the registration sensor is not found before the Limit Distance is traveled. If the Registration
Window is enabled the sensor must be activated inside the window to be recognized.
Name
Index.#.Name
The user can specify an Index name of up to 12 characters.
Enable PLS
Index.#.PLSEnable
When Activated, this parameter enables the PLS (programmable limit switch) function for the specified index. It can be
controlled from index view check box or from a program.
PLS Off Point
Index.#.PlsOffDist
This an incremental distance from the start of the index to the Index PLS off point. This is an unsigned value and is relative
only to starting position of this index. Index direction does not affect this parameter. Index.#.PLSStatus will be active if the
distance traveled from the start of the index is greater than the Index.#.PlsOnDist and less than the Index.#.PlsOffDist.
PLS On Point
Index.#.PlsOnDist
This an incremental distance from the start of the index to the Index PLS On Point. This is an unsigned value and is relative
