Table Window
The values for the motion section are displayed in the table window.
Table header | Description |
---|---|
Function | Indicates the function type (see function types). |
Velocity | Absolute velocity value |
Velocity [%] | Percentage velocity value |
Voltage [%] | percentage voltage |
Range | Absolute value of the transition range |
Range [%] | Percentage value of the transition range |
The values can be changed via the keyboard. The percentage and absolute values are directly related, which means that when changing one value, the other is immediately adapted on pressing the Return key or exiting the box.
Changing function types
- The standard types (Synchron/Automatic) can be changed by command in the graph.
- The function type can also be changed in the combo box.
The first time the combo box or a box in the first column is clicked, a rectangle is temporarily opened in the position window. This contains the corner points (starting point and end point) of the section. As soon as another field in the table window is activated, either the rectangle for this one is shown, or no rectangle is displayed at all.
The types correspond to those of VDI Guideline 2143.
Added to this are the cubic splines with the following boundary conditions:
- natural,
- tangential and
- periodic.
Type | Description | Boundary condition |
---|---|---|
Synchronous | Synchronous motion (constant transmission ratio between slave and master, corresponds to normalized velocity) | Constant velocity v, acceleration a=0 |
Automatic | Automatic adaptation to the boundary values (velocity, acceleration) |
|
Spline | Internal section of a cubic spline |
|
Spline Natural | Initial or end section of a natural cubic spline | a=0 |
Spline Tangential | Initial or end section of a tangential cubic spline |
|
Spline Periodic | Initial or end section of a cyclic cubic spline |
|
Polyline | Start or end section of a linear spline. |
|
Changing the type of spline at the first point implies that the spline type as a whole is changed, including that of the end point.
