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 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.
