MC_MoveContinuousAbsolute
MC_MoveContinuousAbsolute starts positioning to an absolute target position and monitors the axis movement over the whole travel path. At the target position a constant end velocity is reached, which is maintained. The InEndVelocity output is set once the target position was reached. Otherwise the CommandAborted or, on error, the Error output is set.
Once the target position has been reached, the block function is complete and the axis is no longer monitored.
Inputs
VAR_INPUT
Execute : BOOL;
Position : LREAL;
Velocity : LREAL;
EndVelocity : 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 input Execute. |
Position |
Absolute target position |
Velocity |
Maximum velocity for the movement to the target position (>0). |
EndVelocity |
End velocity to be maintained once the target position has been reached. |
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 BufferMode also determines the transition condition from the current to the next command. |
Options |
The data structure option includes additional, rarely required parameters. The input can normally remain open. |
Outputs
VAR_OUTPUT
InEndVelocity : BOOL;
Busy : BOOL;
Active : BOOL;
CommandAborted : BOOL;
Error : BOOL;
ErrorID : UDINT;
END_VAR
InEndVelocity | The InEndVelocity output becomes TRUE once the target position was reached. The function block remains Busy and Active until a new command is issued. |
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. |

END_VAR
Axis |
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.
![]() | MC_MoveContinuousAbsolute is not implemented for fast/slow axes. |
