Singe-axis operations involve the moving of a single axis, and do not require interaction with any other axis.  Multi-axis operations involve the moving of two or more axes; it does not require interaction between the axes.  This section includes basic function blocks that are used for these operations.

In this section

  • Motor Power
    The enable output (EO) command is most often used to command the driver to enable or disable the current to the motor.
  • Jog Operation
    A jog move is used to continuously move the motor without stopping. 
  • Stopping
    When the motor is performing any type of move, motion can be stopped either directly or by deceleration. 
  • Positioning Operation
    A positioning operation is a move with a specified stop point. 
  • Homing Operation
    Home search routines involve moving the motor and using the home, limit, slowdown, or Z-index inputs to determine the zero-reference position (home point) used for absolute positioning.
