Command, function and parameter description
Section 6-3
Description:
The RAPIDSTOP command cancels the current move on all axes from the
current move buffer (MTYPE). Moves for speed profiled move commands
(MOVE, MOVEABS, MOVEMODIFY, FORWARD, REVERSE and
MOVECIRC) will decelerate to a stop with the deceleration rate as set by the
DECEL parameter. Moves for other commands will be immediately stopped.
Precautions:
• RAPIDSTOP cancels only the presently executing moves. If further
moves are buffered in the next move buffers (NTYPE) or the task buffers
they will then be loaded.
• During the deceleration of the current moves additional RAPIDSTOPs will
be ignored.

6-3-150 READ_BIT
Type:
System Command
Syntax:
READ_BIT(
bit_number
,
vr_number
)
Description:
The READ_BIT command returns the value of the specified bit in the speci-
fied VR variable, either 0 or 1.
Arguments:
bit_number
The number of the bit to be read. Range: [0,23].
vr_number
The number of the VR variable for which the bit is read. Range: [0,250].

6-3-151 REG_POS
Type:
Axis Parameter
Alternative:
RPOS
Description:
The REG_POS parameter stores the position in user units at which the (pri-
mary) registration event occurred.
Note This parameter is read-only.

6-3-152 REG_POSB
Type:
Axis Parameter
Description:
The REG_POSB parameter stores the position in user units at which the sec-
ondary registration event occurred.
Note This parameter is read-only.

6-3-153 REGIST
Type:
Axis Command
Syntax:
REGIST(
mode
)
Description:
The REGIST command performs the print registration operation. The com-
mand captures an axis position when a registration input or the Z-marker on
the encoder is detected. The capture is carried out by hardware, so software
delays do not affect the accuracy of the position captured.
The operation of the print registration is axis specific. REGIST works on the
default basis axis (set with BASE) unless AXIS is used to specify a temporary
base axis.
