Master/Slave axes (XDA)
This feature has the same functions of UDA and SDA instructions, but allows the
definition of following mode slave/master. In fact, following parameters (ratio -
higher, equal or minor than 1.0) and mode can be defined for each slave.
The feature is also available in the PLC, making it possible to link a slave, without stopping
the master, when an event detected by the machine logic occurs.
Dynamic follower axes (AXF)
Moves along the programmed path, but independently without affecting the velocity
of the other coordinated axes. These axes follow the axes defining the profile without
changing or limiting their dynamic capabilities.
This avoids, for example, the velocity dropping
to zero in the positions where the follower axes
start or stop their motion.
Gantry Axes (Split)
A gantry axis is a physical axis having only one
interpolator and two motors. They are managed
by the Operator and programmed as one axis.
Gantry Axes (X and Z)
Axes Motion
Linear, Circular, Circular 3D, Helical, Helical 3D and Spline
interpolation
OPENcontrol manages:
Up to 12 axes in Linear interpolation.
Up to 2 (3 for 3D circles) axes in Circular interpolation.
Up to 12 axes in helical interpolation: 2 (3 for 3D circles) of these perform a Circular
interpolation, the others a Linear interpolation.
Circular and helical 3D interpolation allow the profiles execution in the space with no
rotation of the reference interpolation plane.
Spline algorithm, which can be enabled for the execution of previous linear and circular
blocks, allows to increase the speed on the programmed profile, reducing machining
times. A polynomial curve built on the circular and linear points, describes the trajectory
to follow. This trajectory will pass through the programmed points towards the set
thresholds.
