FO - Feed to Length and Set Output

Compatibility: All drives

See Also: DC, DI, AO, BO, MO commands

Same as Feed to Length (FL) but changes the state of an output during the move. Overall move distance is dened by the DI

command. Accel rate, decel rate, and velocity are set by the AC, DE and VE commands, respectively. Distance within overall

move at which output condition should be set is dened by the DC command. If DC is equal to or greater than DI, the input

condition will not be met during the move and the output will not be set.

NOTE: Dedicated output functions - alarm output, brake output, motion output - must be congured as general

purpose before the FO command can be used with the drive’s output. See AO, BO, and MO commands.

Command Details:

Structured FO(Parameter #1)

Type BUFFERED

Usage WRITE ONLY

Non-Volatile NO

Parameter Details:

(See Appendix F: Working With Inputs and Outputs)

Examples:

Example: You’re feeding parts to be cut to length. For maximum throughput, you want to trigger the cut-off knife as the part is

nearing the nal position.
