Multi-axis Operation
IDC’s IDeal command language is intuitive, yet powerful enough for difficult appli-
cations.The SmartDrives allow you to make multi-axis,synchronized,moves or mul-
tiple independent moves that start at the same time.
Simple GO Commands
The most intuitive and simple prog rams utilize the GO commands.Motion parame-
ters for each axis are separated by commas. Motion parameters consist of the AC,
DE,VE and either DI or DA command.These four parameters completely define the
commanded motion profile.The last parameter used by an axis is stored in a table.
The GO command uses the last DI or DA command processed to determine which
axes move and how far they move. For example:
