Starting and Stopping Motion www.controltechniques.com 97
On Profile.1 modifier must be added to the Jog.Stop
command.
If this instruction is used while gear motion is not active, it
will be ignored, and the program will move to the next
instruction.
9.2.2.2 Gear.Stop
The Gear.Stop command is used to stop gearing motion
that is active.
If gear is active on the alternate profile (Profile 1), then the
On Profile.1 modifier must be added to the Gear.Stop
command.
If this instruction is used while gear motion is not active, it
will be ignored, and the program will move to the next
instruction.
9.2.2.3 Stop
The Stop command can be used in a program to stop all
programs and motion that are active at that time. To use
this command, Stop must be set equal to ON to activate it
(i.e. Stop = ON). This presents a bit of a problem since the
program that turns the stop on will also stop, and then there
is no way to deactivate the stop. If Stop is activated from a
program, it is necessary to create an Assignment to clear
the Stop function.
Programs and motion will be prevented from initiating while
Stop is active.
9.2.2.4 Feedhold
The Feedhold instruction functions identically in a program
as it does from an assignment. To activate Feedhold from
a program, it must be set equal to ON. Feedhold will remain
active until it is deactivated from a program (Feedhold =
OFF). See Feedhold from Assignments above for further
details.
9.2.2.5 Profile.#.Feedhold
The Profile.#.Feedhold instruction functions identically in a
program as it does from an assignment. To activate
Profile.#.Feedhold from a program, it must be set equal to
ON. Feedhold will remain active on the specified profile
until it is deactivated from a program (Profile.#.Feedhold =
OFF). See Profile.#.Feedhold from Assignments above for
further details.
9.2.2.6 Profile.#.ProfileStop
The Profile.#.ProfileStop instruction in a program acts
much the same as the Profile.#.MotionStop assignment.
When the Profile.#.ProfileStop instruction is processed,
any motion on the specified profile is stopped using the
stop deceleration ramp. This instruction acts like an edge
sensitive instruction, therefore after the active motion is
stopped, any motion can again be started on the profile.
Profile.#.ProfileStop does not prevent then next motion
from starting.
