Description:
The
SUSPEND keyword can be used to temporarily halt a move. The move will ramp down to zero
speed and remain stationary until the move is resumed. The mode of motion will continue to show the
move type whilst the move has been suspended.
SUSPEND takes a value of 0 or 1:
1 : Suspend a move
0: Resume the move.
SUSPEND only applies to the following move types:
•
MOVEA/MOVER
•
VECTORA/VECTORR (NextMove only)
•
CIRCLEA/CIRCLER (NextMove only)
•
HOME (NextMove only)
•
JOG
•
INCA/INCR (MintDrive & ServoNode 51 only)
•
FOLLOW (FOLLOWMODE 1 - NextMove only)
Example:
LOOP
key = INKEY
IF key = ‘S’ THEN SUSPEND = 1; : REM Suspend motion
IF key = ‘R’ THEN SUSPEND = 0; : REM Resume motion
ENDL
In this example, the program loops checking for key presses with INKEY. If the letters S or R have been
pressed and all axes are either brought to a halt or restarted.
