Axis Parameters
ACCEL
Type: Axis Parameter
Syntax:
ACCEL=value
Description: The
ACCEL
axis parameter may be used to set or read back the acceleration rate of
each axis fitted. The acceleration rate is in units/sec/sec.
Example:
ACCEL=130:' Set acceleration rate
PRINT " Accel rate:";ACCEL;" mm/sec/sec"
ADDAX_AXIS
Type: Axis Parameter (Read Only)
Syntax:
ADDAX_AXIS
Description:
Returns the axis currently linked to with the
ADDAX
command, if none the parame-
ter returns -1.
ATYPE
Type: Axis Parameter
Description: The
ATYPE
axis parameter indicates the type of axis fitted. On daughter board
based axes, the
ATYPE
axis parameter is set by the system software at power up.
Controllers that use Feature Enable Codes to activate axes, such as the Euro205 and
MC206, have the
ATYPE
of each axis set by the system software depending on the
Enabled Features on that Motion Coordinator. The
ATYPE
of Remote Axes must be
set during initialisation in a suitable Trio BASIC program. e.g. STARTUP.BAS.
On the MC202 the
ATYPE
parameter must be set to a value between 1 and 4 to
select the axis function.
See Appendix 1 for a complete list of ATYPE values.
