MC_Halt

MC_Halt 1:

The function block MC_Halt stops an axis with a defined deceleration ramp.

In contrast to MC_Stop, the axis is not locked against further movement commands. The axis can therefore be started by another command after the stop.

MC_Halt 2: Inputs

VAR_INPUT
    Execute      : BOOL; 
    Deceleration : LREAL; 
    Options      : ST_MoveOptions; 
END_VAR

Name

Type

Description

Execute

BOOL

The command is executed with a rising edge.

Deceleration

LREAL

Deceleration
If the value is ≤ 0, the deceleration parameterized with the last Move command is used. For safety reasons MC_Halt and MC_Stop cannot be executed with weaker dynamics than the currently active motion command. The parameterization is adjusted automatically, if necessary.

Options

ST_MoveOptions

Data structure (ST_MoveOptions), which contains additional, rarely required parameters. The input can normally remain unused.

MC_Halt 4: Inputs/outputs

VAR_IN_OUT
    Axis : AXIS_REF;
END_VAR

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_Halt 5: Outputs

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

Name

Type

Description

Done

BOOL

TRUE if the axis has been stopped and is stationary.

Busy

BOOL

TRUE as soon as the command is started with "Execute" and as long as the 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

Becomes TRUE, if the command could not be fully executed. The running command may have been followed by a Move command.

Error

BOOL

TRUE, if an error occurs.

ErrorID

UDINT

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