Program Flow Commands
The DMC-1600 provides instructions to control program flow. The DMC-1600 program
sequencer normally executes program instructions sequentially. The program flow can be altered
with the use of event triggers, trippoints, and conditional jump statements.
Event Triggers & Trippoints
To function independently from the host computer, the DMC-1600 can be programmed to make
decisions based on the occurrence of an event. Such events include waiting for motion to be
complete, waiting for a specified amount of time to elapse, or waiting for an input to change logic
levels.
The DMC-1600 provides several event triggers that cause the program sequencer to halt until the
specified event occurs. Normally, a program is automatically executed sequentially one line at a
time. When an event trigger instruction is decoded, however, the actual program sequence is
halted. The program sequence does not continue until the event trigger is "tripped". For example,
the motion complete trigger can be used to separate two move sequences in a program. The
commands for the second move sequence will not be executed until the motion is complete on the
first motion sequence. In this way, the DMC-1600 can make decisions based on its own status or
external events without intervention from a host computer.
