MC_MoveDirectPreparation

TF5410 TwinCAT 3 Motion Collision Avoidance	TF5420 TwinCAT 3 Motion Pick-and-Place
	MC Group with Pick-and-Place	MC Group Coordinated Motion

The function block MC_MoveDirectPreparation adds a move in direct mode to the table of segments in the PathData structure. After creating a table, it can be executed via MC_MovePath. The function block MC_MoveDirectPreparation can be called several times per cycle. A maximum of 30 entries are allowed per PathData table.

END_VAR

Name	Type	Description
Position	POINTER TO LREAL	Pointer to an array [1..PositionCount] of the target position vector
PositionCount	UDINT	Dimension of the position vector. Must match the number of axes in the axis convention (see MC Group Coordinated Motion).
Velocity	MC_LREAL	The maximum velocity for the programmed segment. The velocity does not always have to be reached. The velocity must be set >0.
Acceleration	MC_LREAL	Maximum path acceleration for the programmed segment. Special input values can be used: MC_DEFAULT executes the command with default axis values. MC_MAXIMUM executes the command with the maximum axis values. The acceleration must be set ≥1.
Deceleration	MC_LREAL	Maximum path deceleration for the programmed segment. Special input values can be used: MC_DEFAULT executes the command with default axis values. MC_MAXIMUM executes the command with the maximum axis values. The deceleration must be set ≥1.
Jerk	MC_LREAL	Path jerk for the programmed segment. Special input values can be used. MC_DEFAULT executes the command with default axis values. The jerk must be set ≥100. MC_MAXIMUM = 100 * MC_DEFAULT
BufferMode	MC_BUFFER_MODE	Defines how successive motion commands are to be processed.
Transition Mode	MC_TRANSITION_MODE	Defines the blending mode.
TransitionParameter	POINTER TO LREAL	Pointer to array [1..TransitionParameterCount] of blending parameters. Transition parameters define the blending from the last programmed position.
TransitionParameterCount	UDINT	Number of blending parameters
InvokeId	UDINT	Segment ID for analysis purposes
DynamicConstraints	REFERENCE TO IPlcDynamicConstraint	Optional input to further restrict the permitted values for speed, acceleration, deceleration, or jerk during movement. Notice Reference assignment: `<InstanceOfMC_MoveLinearAbsolutePreparation>.DynamicConstraints` REF= `<InstanceOfIPlcDynamicConstraint>;`

VAR_IN_OUT
    PathData                 : MC_PATH_DATA_REF;
END_VAR

Name	Type	Description
PathData	MC_PATH_DATA_REF	Table containing the segments of a path. The table is written by MC_Move…Preparation and executed by MC_MovePath (see MC_PATH_DATA_REF).

Outputs

VAR_OUTPUT
    Error                    : BOOL;
    ErrorId                  : UDINT;
END_VAR

Name	Type	Description
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).
