Next Motion Task can set the motion task that will be blended to the present
move (if blended move is selected) or can be used to automatically start
another move without the need for an additional input signal; the ‘next motion
task’ will be executed upon completion of the present move. A ‘Next Motion
Task’ of ‘none’ places a ‘0’ in the table but does not mean to execute a home
(motion task 0); it is interpreted as ‘do nothing’. An In-Position output will not
come on until all moves are complete.
A Dwell Time can be added which occurs at the end of the move. The dwell
time’s purpose is to add a delay to moves linked with Next Motion Task (not
blended moves). If there is no Next Motion Task then the dwell timer performs
no function.
The check box ‘Executes after home’ is simply a means of making an
equivalent function of ‘Next Motion Task’ after ‘Homing’ available. (There is no
other way to do that since you can not directly edit Motion Task 0).
Coldstart is a process whereby the firmware generates custom internal code
(compiles) for extremely fast execution. It is good practice to hit the Coldstart
button after changing motion tasks and I/O assignments. Without it you may
get results that indicate that your changes did not take affect.
Move types
include:
Relative
move with
Memory:
When
indexing
(relative
moves) an
early
termination of
prior moves
is
remembered.
Choosing this
Move Type
calculates the
next move
distance as the sum of the entered move distance PLUS the distance that did
not get made in earlier moves due to early termination of the index.
Relative Move Without Memory: When indexing (relative moves) this input
cause the index distance in the associated motion task to be executed. There
is no reference to earlier lost motion.
Absolute Move: Moves to an absolute position relative to the home location.
