MOVECONTOUR

AN-405 MOVECONTOUR General Application

The MOVECONTOUR command being developed at Trio allows a sequence of 5 axis movements to be loaded via a set of TABLE values.

This document explains how to use this move command

This function will not be built in Trio Motion controller. The software (product code P980) must be purchased to use the 5 axis contouring control firmware.

    • XYZ axes running slower than expected

      One of our customers faced a problem with Slow Speed on all Axes.  They just changed the Y axis Drives with a different type and changed the UNITS (higher) which seems good becasue they can move the Axis more precisely.  But now when running XYZ ...

    • Inconsistent speed

      The max speed of the axis might be acceleration limited. For example: SPEED = 800 ACCEL = 1200 DECEL = 1200 Say the vector length = 600 - 500 = 100. ie the MOVE length is 100. From the standard equation of motion: v^2 = u^2 + 2as u is 0 v = SQR(2 * ...

    • AXISSTATUS = L Speed limit active - how to deal with it?

      AXISSTATUS L flag means the axis is in speed limited mode. It means it's running a MOVESP/MOVEABSPS/MOVECISRCSP and the VP_SPEED is not the SPEED but is at the FORCE_SPEED level. If CORNER_MODE is active, that will also show as speed limiting with ...

    • 'Forward' speed change during move

      FORWARD commands do not need to buffer. Just set FORWARD once and leave it running. You can change SPEED any time on the fly. SPEED set to 0 will stop the axis. A negative SPEED value will make the axis move in reverse. You only need to CANCEL when ...
