Chapter 6 Programming Motion
Overview
The CDS-3310 provides several modes of motion, including independent positioning and jogging, and
electronic gearing. Each one of these modes is discussed in the following sections.
The example applications described below will help guide you to the appropriate mode of motion.
Example Application Mode of Motion Commands
Absolute or relative positioning where each axis is
independent and follows prescribed velocity
profile.
Independent Axis Positioning PA,PR
SP,AC,DC
Velocity control where no final endpoint is
prescribed. Motion stops on Stop command. Independent Jogging JG
AC,DC
ST
Absolute positioning mode where absolute position
targets may be sent to the controller while the axis
is in motion. Position Tracking PA
PT
SP
AC, DC
Motion Path described as incremental position
points versus time. Contour Mode CM
CD
DT
WC
Electronic gearing where slave axes are scaled to
master axis which can move in both directions. Electronic Gearing GA
GD
_GP
GR
Master/slave where slave axes must follow a
master such as conveyer speed.
Electronic Gearing GA
GD
_GP
GR
Moving along arbitrary profiles or mathematically
prescribed profiles such as sine or cosine
trajectories. Contour Mode CM
