Motion control instructions: The motion control instructions use an associated technology
data block and the dedicated PTO (pulse train outputs) of the CPU to control the motion on
an axis. For information about the operation of the motion control instructions, see the
online information system of STEP 7 Basic.
MC_Power enables and
disables a motion control axis.
MC_Reset resets all motion control errors. All motion
control errors that can be acknowledged are
acknowledged.
MC_Home establishes the
relationship between the axis
control program and the axis
mechanical positioning system.
MC_Halt cancels all motion
processes and causes the
axis motion to stop. The
stop position is not defined.
MC_MoveJog executes jog
mode for testing and startup
purposes.
MC_MoveAbsolute starts
motion to an absolute position.
The job ends when the target
position is reached.
MC_MoveRelative starts a
positioning motion relative
to the start position.
MC_MoveVelocity causes
the axis to travel with the
specified speed.
