MC_ActivateTrack

MC_ActivateTrack 1:

The function block MC_ActivateTrack activates a track as a reference system, which can then be used in various motion function blocks for positioning. The XTS track object must be created under the XTS Processing Unit and is then selected via the object Id. The XTS tracks are configured via the XTS Configurator (see XTS documentation for more information). ObjectID 0 can be used to reactivate the absolute reference system.
