FOLSTARTDIST Following Parameter
ACTION: Specifies a master distance that is used as a delay distance for
starting motion. The distance delay starts when the specified
starting trigger of FOLTRIG command occurs.
PROGRAM SYNTAX: FOLSTARTDIST(axis)=expression
FOLSTARTDIST=expression1, ... , expression8
FOLSTARTDIST(axis) - used in an expression
FOLSTARTDIST(axis, ... .axis)=expression, ... , expression
REMARKS: The axis specifies the number of the following axis (1-8).
The expression specifies the master distance traveled in units.
This command is related to the FOLTRIG command as follows.
The follower will not start motion until the FOLSTARTDIST has
been traveled by the master source once the trigger condition of the
FOLTRIG command has been met.
EXAMPLE: FOLSTARTDIST(1)=1.5
axis 1 master distance delay is 1.5 units before starting motion.
FOLSTARTDIST=1,,3
axis 1 master distance delay is 1 unit and axis 3 master distance
delay is 3 units before starting motion.
FOLSTARTDIST(1,4)=1,3
axis 1 master distance delay is 1 unit and axis 4 master distance
delay is 3 units before starting motion.
