MC_MoveRelative

MC_MoveRelative 1:

The function block MC_MoveRelative starts a relative positioning procedure based on the current set position and monitors the axis movement over the whole travel path. The "Done" output is set once the target position has been reached. Otherwise, the output "CommandAborted" or, in case of an error, the output "Error" is set.

Name

Type

Description

Execute

BOOL

The command is executed with a rising edge.

Distance

LREAL

Relative distance to be used for positioning.

Velocity

LREAL

Maximum travel velocity (>0).

Acceleration

LREAL

Acceleration (≥0)

Deceleration

LREAL

Deceleration (≥0)

Options

ST_MoveOptions

Data structure (ST_MoveOptions) containing additional, rarely used parameters. The input can normally remain unused.

Name

Type

Description

Axis

AXIS_REF

Axis data structure that unambiguously addresses an axis in the system. Among other parameters it contains the current axis status, including position, velocity or error state.

MC_MoveRelative 5: Outputs

VAR_OUTPUT
    Done           : BOOL;
    Busy           : BOOL;
    Active         : BOOL;
    CommandAborted : BOOL;
    Error          : BOOL;
    ErrorID        : UDINT;
END_VAR

Name

Type

Description

Done

BOOL

TRUE when the target position has been reached.

Busy

BOOL

TRUE as soon as the command is started with "Execute" and as long as the movement command is processed. If "Busy" is FALSE, the function block is ready for a new order. At the same time, one of the outputs "Done", "CommandAborted" or "Error" is set.

Active

BOOL

Indicates that the command is executed. If the command was buffered, it becomes active once a running command is completed.

CommandAborted

BOOL

TRUE if the command could not be executed completely. The axis was stopped or the current command was replaced by another Move command.

Error

BOOL

TRUE, if an error occurs.

ErrorID

UDINT

If the error output is set, this parameter supplies the error number.
