Overview of the new functions
As of TF5400 V3.3.19
- New: CA group parameter Active Gap Establishing
with the new default setting that axes are only braked to avoid/minimize gap violations in the future, but do not actively move apart, as is the default behavior up to and including V3.2. - New: The gap control direction "mcGapCtrlDirectionBoth" can be used in connection with the gap control mode mcGapCtrlModeFast.
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4024.40 or higher
As of TF5400 V3.2.27:
- Optimizations to MC_GearInPosCA that prevent SAF cycle offset between master and slave axis.
- Optimizations to the gap controller when the axis is already in the target position and only the gap changes. If the adjacent mover is commanded, the new gap takes effect.
- Requires an x64 platform
As of TF5400 V3.1.10.63:
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4024.24 or higher
As of TF5400 V3.1.10.30:
- Behavioral change in modulo positioning. Additional turns are now to be commanded via the new parameter
ST_MoveAbsoluteCAOptions.AdditionalTurns
. Please refer to the notes on Modulo positioning.
As of TF5400 V3.1.10.1:
- Track management
- Revised state diagram
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4024.7 or higher
As of TF5400 V3.1.6.3:
- Geo compensation
As of TF5400 V3.1.4.4:
- New: As of TF5400 3.1.4.4
MC_MAXIMUM
is supported as input value. For more detailed information please refer to the documentation for the respective function block.
As of TF5400 V3.1.2.47:
- New input MC_GAP_CONTROL_MODE at each motion function block.
- New flag MC_GearInPosCAOptions. OverrideSlaveDynamicRestrictions to improve the behavior when coupled to a master with non-constant velocity (e.g. encoder axis).
- New CA group parameter
GapControlModeDirection
defines the direction of gap monitoring.
