Independent Axis Positioning
In this mode, motion between the specified axes is independent, and each axis follows its own
profile. The user specifies the desired absolute position (PA) or relative position (PR), slew speed
(SP), acceleration ramp (AC), and deceleration ramp (DC), for each axis. On begin (BG), the
DMC-1600 profiler generates the corresponding trapezoidal or triangular velocity profile and
position trajectory. The controller determines a new command position along the trajectory every
sample period until the specified profile is complete. Motion is complete when the last position
command is sent by the DMC-1600 profiler. Note: The actual motor motion may not be complete
when the profile has been completed, however, the next motion command may be specified.
