Manual Motion and Homing

Homing Velocity

bCalibrationCam

A boolean input of MC_Home. It evaluates the signal of a referencing cam. This reference signal can be coupled into the control unit via a digital input.

Homing Velocity (towards plc cam)

Velocity used by a MC_Home function block when homing to a referencing cam in the standard homing sequence when the HomingMode MC_DefaultHoming is selected and the bCalibrationCam input is evaluated.

Homing Velocity (off plc cam)

Velocity used by a function block MC_Home when moving away from a referencing cam in the standard homing sequence when the HomingMode MC_DefaultHoming is selected and the bCalibrationCam input is evaluated.

Manual Velocity

Manual Velocity (Fast)

Online Dialog:

• Used velocity for MOTION | NC-Task 1 SAF | Axes | Axis 1 | Online | -- F1.
• Used velocity for MOTION | NC-Task 1 SAF | Axes | Axis 1 | Online | ++ F4.
• Similar for other identifiers

MC_Jog:

• Velocity used by a function block MC_Jog applied to the axis when its input is JogForward or its input is JogBackwards TRUE and selected as its Mode MC_JOGMODE_STANDARD_FAST.

Manual Velocity (Slow)

Online Dialog:

• Used velocity for MOTION | NC-Task 1 SAF | Axes | Axis 1 | Online | - F2.
• Used velocity for MOTION | NC-Task 1 SAF | Axes | Axis 1 | Online | + F3.
• Similar for other identifiers.

MC_Jog:

• Velocity used by a function block MC_Jog applied to the axis when its input is JogForward or its input is JogBackwards TRUE and selected as its Mode MC_JOGMODE_STANDARD_SLOW.

Buttons in the Online dialog

In the "MOTION | NC-Task 1 SAF | Axes | Axis 1 | Online" dialog, there are the buttons -- F1, - F2, + F3 and ++ F4.

Jog Increment

Jog Increment (Forward)

Not used.

This parameter is not currently used explicitly in TC3 Motion libraries. However, the parameter itself can be read or written or inserted indirectly by the user, e.g. in a function block created by the user or in an HMI.

Jog Increment (Backward)

Not used.

This parameter is not currently used explicitly in TC3 Motion libraries. However, the parameter itself can be read or written or inserted indirectly by the user, e.g. in a function block created by the user or in an HMI.

MC_JOGMODE_INCHING

The function block MC_Jog enables an axis to be moved via manual keys. The key signal can be connected directly to the JogForward or JogBackwards input. The desired operation mode is specified by input Mode. When using the MC_JOGMODE_INCHING mode, a rising edge at one of the jog inputs moves the axis over a certain distance that is assigned at input Position.
