GO.1
Controller Specifics:
On MintDrive
OFFSETMODE = 2, the profiled Offset will be clipped at MAXSPEED if it exceeds it and
thus the Offset would not be achieved in the desired
OFFSETDISTANCE.
Restrictions:
Any changes in the master axis velocity will not be tracked by the
OFFSET move, only the underlying
FOLLOW motion. This can result in the offset not performing as expected.

OFFSETSTATUS/OFS
Purpose:
Read the status of the previous offset move.
Controllers Supported:

Description:
OFFSETSTATUS is a bit pattern which represents the status of the previous OFFSET move.
Bit Predefined Constant Meaning
0
_osMAXSPEED
The maximum speed as defined by the MAXSPEED keyword has
been reached during the
OFFSET move.
1
_osMINSPEED
The axis stopped during the OFFSET move.
2
_osMAXACCEL
The OFFSET was aborted as the acceleration required to perform the
desired profile exceeded that defined by the
ACCEL keyword.
3
_osMAXDECEL
The OFFSET was aborted as the deceleration required to perform
the desired profile exceeded that defined by the
DECEL keyword.
4
_osPROFILEERROR
The OFFSET was aborted because the velocity profile required
infinite acceleration.
5
_osZEROACCEL
The OFFSET was aborted because the velocity profile required zero
or negative acceleration.
Example:
MASTERSOURCE.1 = _msPOS
MASTERCHANNEL.1 = 0
FOLLOWMODE.1 = 0
FOLLOW.1 = 0
OFFSETMODE.1 = 0
OFFSET.1 = 20
