EEnd Program
This function is used to designate the end of a program. It may be used more than once when
using the Jump commands. The End Program function is also used to terminate programs
prior to the last program step. The End Program function is equivalent to a return from
subroutine when used at the end of a called program.
F Set Maximum Following Error
This function overrides the “Maximum Following Error” which is set up in the “Limits”
screen. When the program has completed, Following Error is reset to the value programmed
in the Limits screen. This function is often used with the “Q, Set Maximum Torque” function.
A large value entered here prevents the drive from faulting out during a “Torque” move.
HCall Home
The Call Home function is used to initiate a previously programmed Home Cycle. There are
two Home Cycles that can be called within a program.
I Call Index
The Call Index function is used to initiate the execution of an index. When this function is
used, the index number must also be given. After you enter an index number in the data field,
PCX will display that index’s distance and speed.
O Set Outputs Lines or PGOs
Before this function can be used, you must first assign Output Function #12 “Programmable
Outputs” to one or more external output lines. This function allows you to change the status
of any or all of the programmable outputs you assigned in the output function screen.
Once selected, the cursor will move to the data field where zeros that represent the
programmable outputs are displayed. The leftmost zero represents the first programmable
output line and the others follow in numerical sequence.
If you enter a one, that output will be forced on. If you enter a zero, that output will be forced
off. These outputs will remain in this pattern until they are updated. If you enter an “X” for
any line, that line state will not be changed.
PCall Program
The Call Program function is used to initiate a program from within a program. You can use
the “P” function to call additional programs as sub-routines of your original program. This is
called “Nesting”. PCX allows you to nest up to 10 programs under any one Program Call
function before returning to the original program.
