Control Panel
Motion Perfect is equipped with a Control Panel that is used to control pro-
gram execution and the MC Unit while editing and debugging the programs.
The Control Panel will appear after the initial opening window on the left of the
main Motion Perfect Window:
Controller Status
The Store Programs in EPROM button writes the programs from RAM into
Flash memory. The programs from Flash memory will be updated to RAM
during start-up.
The Drives enabled button toggles the state of the enable (watchdog) relay
on the controller, which controls the drivers. See 6-3-204 WDOG for details.
The Axis status error button monitors the Motion errors of the MC Unit. This
button is normally greyed out, unless a motion error occurs on the controller.
When an error does occur, you can use this button to clear the error condition.
This is equivalent to using the DATUM(0) command. See 6-3-48 DATUM for
details.
Program List Box
The Program List Box in the middle of the Control Panel will show a list of the
programs in the project. There are two buttons next to each program name to
control the execution of this program.
The Run/Stop button (red) shows that the program is stopped and can be
clicked to start program execution.
When a program is being executed, the program name in the Program List
Box will appear in italics, the MC Unit task number on which the program is
running will appear alongside the program name, and the color of the Run/
Stop button will change into green.
To stop the program click the Run/Stop button again to stop the program. A
program cannot be edited while it is being executed.
The Step button (yellow) can be used to step through the program. The Run/
Stop Button will turn yellow and one line of the program will be executed each
time the Run/Stop button is clicked. When the Step button is clicked again,
the program will be run normally.
When a program is being stepped, a green bar will appear in the Editor Win-
dow, highlighting the line of the program about to be executed.
