COMPENSATE_XY is a motion command designed to allow for a superimposed compensation motion to be applied to an axis based on the measured position of 2 axes (X & Y).AN-361 HW_PSWITCH XY Mode
The HW_PSWTICH command takes a list of trigger positions and loads them into a hardware buffer in the FPGA. This is done individually for each axis. In a Cartesian system, there is a need for accurate outputs to be triggered based on the XY position ...MOVE and SEL functions in IEC
I could not find equivalent of Codesys MOVE or SEL functions in our IEC language. A programmer can easily recreate the MOVE by creating a user function block that on rising edge of the ENO input will pass the value of IN to OUT with the desired ...AN-305 FRAME 11 - XY axis with rotating product
The FRAME 11 transformation allows applications with a product rotating on (or under) an XY system to be easily programmed. The following picture shows the type of machine:Cad2Motion information
Cad2Motion is a free package that you can download and evaluate as you wish. It comes with a Windows Help (chm) file. I suggest you install it and take a look. It can import a 2D dxf and convert it to a motion path. The assumption is that the ...
