Example Axis 0 is required to run a continuous forward. Axis 1 must connect to axis 0.
If CONNECT is called, it results in a step change. Therefore, CLUTCH_RATE
is used, together with an initial and final connect ratio of zero, to get the
required motion.
FORWARD AXIS(0)
BASE(1)
CONNECT(0,0) 'set intitial ratio to zero
CLUTCH_RATE=0.5 'set clutch rate
CONNECT(2,0) 'apply the required connect ratio
WA(8000)
CONNECT(0,0) 'apply zero ratio to disconnect
WA(4000) 'wait for deceleration to complete
CANCEL 'cancel connect
