Chapter 9 Motion Control
Example: Error Stop using MC_Stop cannot be Aborted
MC_Halt and MC_Stop are both used to bring an axis to a StandStill but MC_Stop is used when
an abnormal situation occurs.
Motion Axis and Parameters
The following state diagram illustrates the behavior of the axis at a high level when multiple
motion control function blocks are activated. The basic rule is that motion commands are
always taken sequentially, even if the controller has the capability of real parallel processing.
These commands act on the axis’ state diagram.
The axis is always in one of the defined states see
. Any motion command
is a transition that changes the state of the axis and, as a consequence, modifies the way the
current motion is computed.
MC_Stop can abort other motion function blocks but can never be
aborted itself.
MC_Stop goes to the Stopping state and normal operation cannot
resume.
