Overview of the new functions
As of TF5400 V3.3.72
- New: In the GroupDisabled state, PTP commands of the Tc2_MC2 library (e.g. MC_MoveAbsolute) are permitted on axes of the group.
As of TF5400 V3.3.19
- MC-Group Pick-and-Place no longer available.
- New: Function block MC_SetCoordinateTransformPreparation for the MC-Group Coordinated Motion
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4024.40 or higher
As of TF5400 V3.2.27 for the MC Group Coordinated Motion:
- New: Introduction of additional dynamic constraints for path and auxiliary axes.
- New: Optionally, the override also affects the synchronization phase for the MC_TrackConveyorBelt.
- Optimizations to the MC_TrackConveyorBelt that prevent SAF cycle misalignment between conveyor (master) and slave axis.
- Optimizations of the error reaction for the MC_TrackConveyorBelt. In the event of a runtime error of the conveyor belt (master), an active MC_MovePath is not aborted and an error reaction is to be triggered via the PLC.
- Requires an x64 platform
As of TF5400 V3.1.10.64:
- New: In an MC Group Coordinated Motion with Geo Blending, a blocker that is triggered early enough before it becomes active will be blended over and passed on without interruption.
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4024.24 or higher
As of TF5400 V3.1.10.1:
- New: Group type MC Group Coordinated Motion.
- New: Data for the MC Group Coordinated Motion in the cyclic group interface.
- New: Function blocks for MC Group Coordinated Motion:
- New: MC_GroupHalt function block for MC Group Coordinated Motion.
- New: Enum MC_TRANSITION_MODE extended by mcTransModeCornerDistance for MC Group Coordinated Motion.
- New: Enum MC_CIRC_PATHCHOICE extended by mcCircPathchoiceShortSegment and mcCircPathchoiceLongSegment.
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4024.7 or higher
As of TF5400 V3.1.6.27:
- New: The remaining time and distance of the current segment can be read via ADS, see Index Offset Specification for MC Group Parameters.
- Requires TwinCAT V3.1.4022.0 or higher
As of TF5400 V3.1.6.3:
- New: Function block MC_SetCoordinateTransform.
- New: Function block MC_TrackConveyorBelt
As of TF5400 V3.1.4.4:
- New: Special input value
MC_MAXIMUM
.
As of TF5400 V3.1.2.47:
- New: Function block MC_MoveCircularAbsolutePreparation.
