MC_HaltCA

MC_HaltCA 1:

The function block MC_HaltCA commands a single axis to stop with Collision Avoidance.

MC_HaltCA 2: Inputs

VAR_INPUT
    Execute               : BOOL;
    Deceleration          : MC_LREAL := MC_DEFAULT;
    Jerk                  : MC_LREAL := MC_DEFAULT;
    Gap                   : MC_LREAL := MC_DEFAULT;
    Options               : ST_HaltCAOptions;
END_VAR

Name

Type

Description

Execute

BOOL

The command is triggered by a rising edge at this input.

Deceleration

MC_LREAL

The deceleration value must be greater than or equal to 1 and is limited by the axis parameter 'Maximum Deceleration'. The input is preset with MC_DEFAULT.

 

Special input values:

MC_DEFAULT = corresponds to the value of the axis parameter 'Default Deceleration'

MC_MAXIMUM = corresponds to the value of the axis parameter 'Maximum Deceleration'

Jerk

MC_LREAL

The jerk must be ≥100. The input is preset with MC_DEFAULT.

 

Special input values:

MC_DEFAULT = corresponds to the value of the axis parameter 'Default Jerk'

MC_MAXIMUM = invalid

Gap

MC_LREAL

This value determines the minimum gap to the predecessor for Collision Avoidance. If no value is entered, the default value of the group is used.

When using geo-compensation, special attention must be paid to the gap. Since the gap refers to the offset path when using geo-compensation, adjacent movers in the curves can collide if it is set too low.

Options

ST_HaltCAOptions

For more information about the available options (from V3.1.2.47) see the documentation for ST_HaltCAOptions.

MC_HaltCA 3:

The axis does not stop fast enough

The given deceleration could be automatically limited to the maximum axis deceleration. Check the parameters Maximum Dynamics and Default Dynamics of the axis. It is also possible that the values of Maximum Dynamics are below the Default Dynamics.

MC_HaltCA 4: Inputs/outputs

VAR_IN_OUT
    Axis                  : AXIS_REF;

Name

Description

Axis

AXIS_REF

Reference to an axis (see AXIS_REF).

MC_HaltCA 5: Outputs

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

Name

Type

Description

Done

BOOL

This output becomes TRUE when the command was successfully executed.

Busy

BOOL

This output becomes TRUE when the command is started with Execute and remains so as long as the function block executes the command. If Busy becomes FALSE again, the function block is ready for a new command. At the same time one of the outputs, Done, CommandAborted or Error is set.

Active

BOOL

If Active is TRUE, the function block controls the axis.

CommandAborted

BOOL

This output becomes TRUE if the command was interrupted by another command.

Error

BOOL

This output becomes TRUE if an error has occurred during command execution.

ErrorId

UDINT

Contains the command-specific error code of the last executed command. Details of the error code can be found in the ADS error documentation or in the NC error documentation (error codes 0x4nnn and 0x8nnn).
