MLJ050 Motorized Lab Jack
In ‘Continuous’ mode, the motor actuator will accelerate and move at the jog velocity
while the button is held down..
Fig. 7.3 Jog Modes
Jog - the motor moves by the distance specified in the Step Size parameter.
Continuous - the motor continues to move until the jog signal is removed (i.e.
jog button is released).
Stop - the way in which the jog motion stops when the demand is removed.
Immediate - the motor stops quickly, in a non-profiled manner
Profiled - the motor stops in a profiled manner using the jog Velocity Profile
parameters set above.
Maximum Velocity - the maximum velocity at which to perform a move.
Acceleration - the rate at which the velocity climbs from zero to maximum, and slows
from maximum to zero.
Velocity Parameters
Moves can be initiated via the GUI panel by entering a position value after clicking on
the position display box (see Section 6.5.), or by calling a software function (see the
KinesisServer helpfile). The following settings determine the velocity profile of such
moves, and are specified in real world units, millimetres or degrees.
Maximum Velocity - the maximum velocity at which to perform a move.
Acceleration - the rate at which the velocity climbs from zero to maximum, and slows
from maximum to zero.
Note
Under certain velocity parameter and move distance conditions, the
maximum velocity may never be reached (i.e. the move comprises an
acceleration and deceleration phase only).
