FOLACCDIST Following Parameter
ACTION: Specifies the master distance traveled for the follower to catch the
master velocity after follower motion begins.
PROGRAM SYNTAX: FOLACCDIST(axis)=expression
FOLACCDIST=expression1, ... , expression8
FOLACCDIST(axis, ... ,axis)=expression, ... , expression
FOLACCDIST(axis) - used in an expression
REMARKS: The axis specifies the number of the following axis (1-8).
The expression specifies the master distance to travel in Units.
The follower axis will start motion once the trigger condition is
met and the master distance specified by the FOLSTARTDIST
command is achieved. Once motion begins the follower will match
the master velocity in the specified master distance. The distance
traveled by the follower is 50% of the FOLACCDIST distance
times the FOLRATIO value.
EXAMPLES: FOLACCDIST(1)=1.5
axis 1 match the master velocity in 1.5 units after starting motion.
FOLACCDIST=1,,3
axis 1 match the master velocity in 1 unit and axis 3 match the
master velocity in 3 units after starting motion.
FOLACCDIST(1,4)=1,3
axis 1 match the master velocity in 1 unit, axis 4 match the master
velocity in 3 units after starting motion.
