MC_MoveRelative
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.
![]() | Motion commands can be applied to coupled slave axes, if this option was explicitly activated in the axis parameters. A motion command such as MC_MoveAbsolute then automatically leads to decoupling of the axis, after which the command is executed. In this case the only available buffer mode is Aborting. |
Inputs
VAR_INPUT
Execute : BOOL;
Distance : LREAL;
Velocity : LREAL;
Acceleration : LREAL;
Deceleration : LREAL;
Jerk : LREAL;
BufferMode : MC_BufferMode;
Options : ST_MoveOptions;
END_VAR
Execute | The command is executed with a rising edge at Execute input. |
Distance | Relative distance to be used for positioning. |
Velocity | Maximum travel velocity (>0). |
Acceleration | Acceleration (≥0). If the value is 0, the standard acceleration from the axis configuration in the System Manager is used. |
Deceleration | Deceleration (≥0). If the value is 0, the standard deceleration from the axis configuration in the System Manager is used. |
Jerk | Jerk (≥0). If the value is 0, the standard jerk from the axis configuration in the System Manager is used. |
BufferMode | The BufferMode is analyzed, if the axis is already executing another command. The running command can be aborted, or the new command becomes active after the running command. The transition condition from the current to the next command is also defined by the BufferMode. |
Options | The data structure Options includes additional, rarely required parameters. The input can normally remain open. |
Outputs
VAR_OUTPUT
Done : BOOL;
Busy : BOOL;
Active : BOOL;
CommandAborted : BOOL;
Error : BOOL;
ErrorID : UDINT;
END_VAR
Done | The Done output becomes TRUE once the target position was reached. |
Busy | The Busy output becomes TRUE when the command is started with Execute and remains TRUE as long as the movement command is processed. If Busy becomes FALSE again, the function block is ready for a new order. At the same time one of the outputs, Done, CommandAborted or Error, is set. |
Active | Active indicates that the command is executed. If the command was buffered, it becomes active once a running command is completed. |
CommandAborted | Becomes TRUE, if the command could not be fully executed. The axis may have been stopped, or the running command may have been followed by a further Move command. |
Error | Becomes TRUE if an error occurs. |
ErrorID | If the error output is set, this parameter supplies the error number. |

Axis data structure |
The axis data structure of type AXIS_REF addresses an axis uniquely within the system. Among other parameters it contains the current axis status, including position, velocity or error status.
