Decelerating
Profile.#.Decelerating
This source will be active when the motion being run on the specified profile is decelerating to zero velocity (or to the next
programmed velocity). When the motion has reached zero velocity, or its next programmed velocity, this function will
deactivate. This allows the user to see when any motion being run on this profile is decelerating rather than having to monitor
each motion object individually.
Feedhold
Profile.#.Feedhold
This function is used to suspend or pause a profile in motion without stopping it altogether. The Feedhold effects all types of
motion except for Gearing. When activated, any motion being run on the specified profile will decelerate to a stop in the time
programmed in the FeedholdDecelTime parameter, found on the Ramps view. The motion will remain stopped as long as the
function is active. When deactivated, the motion will accelerate back up to the programmed speed in the same amount of time
as the decel, to finish its profile.
Motion Stop
Profile.#.MotionStop
This function is used to stop any motion operating on the specified profile. This allows the user to stop motion running on one
profile without stopping motion on both profiles. When activated, motion running on the specified profile will decelerate to a
stop using the deceleration rate programmed in the StopDecel parameter. The profile will decelerate using a real-time
deceleration ramp regardless of the original timebase of the move.
Any Complete
Program.AnyComplete
This source is activated when any program ends normally. If a program ends due to a fault or the stop destination, this source
does not activate. Deactivates when any program is initiated.
Initiate
Program.#.Initiate
When activated, this destination initiates the specified program unless an index, home, or jog is already executing, a stop is
active, or a program is already executing with the same task number.
Name
Program.#.Name
This can be a 12 character string which the user can assign to an individual program. It allows the user to give a descriptive
name to programs for ease of use.
Program Complete
Program.#.ProgramComplete
This source is activated when a specific program ends normally. If the program ends due to a fault or the stop destination, this
source does not activate. Deactivates when the specific program is initiated again.
Stop
Program.#.Stop
This destination is used to stop a specific program from processing. It can be used to halt a program that is currently in
operation, or to prevent a program from initiating. If a program has initiated some motion, and the program is stopped while
that motion is still in progress, the motion will NOT be stopped. The motion initiated by the stopped program will continue until
it is complete (i.e. indexes), or until it is stopped by another program (i.e. jog,gear). This function is edge sensitive meaning
that when the Program.#.Stop activates, the specified program will be stopped, but not prevented from starting again.
Name
Queue Name
You can assign a descriptive name to each queue, making the setup easier to follow. The length of the text string is limited by
the column width with a maximum of 12 characters. Simply double click on the Name field of any queue’s line to assign a
name to it.
