MC Group Coordinated Motion

Parameter (Init)

Spatial Axes Conventions

Three axes conventions can be set.

The axes conventions define how the axes are interpreted in the axis group. In combination with "Additional Axes Count", they define the dimension of the axis group and thus the number of axes that need to be added, as well as the way in which each of the added axes is interpreted.

Parameter	Value	Type	Description
Spatial Axes Convention	mcAxesConv2DCartesianXY	`MC.MC_AXES_CONVENTION`	A 2D group consisting of `X`, `Y`. The order of the translatory axes in the configuration determines the order of translation.
Spatial Axes Convention	mcAxesConv3DCartesianXYZ	`MC.MC_AXES_CONVENTION`	A 3D group consisting of `X`, `Y`, `Z`. The order of the translatory axes in the configuration determines the order of translation.
Spatial Axes Convention	mcAxesConv4DCartesianXYZC	`MC.MC_AXES_CONVENTION`	A 4D group consisting of `X`, `Y`, `Z` and a rotary axis around `Z` (`C`). The order of the translatory and rotary axes in the configuration determines the order of translation and rotation.

Additional Axes Count

Number of axes in the axis group that have no geometric interpretation. Between 0 and 8 axes of this type can be inserted.

Blending Strategy

Sets the blending strategy.

Parameter	Value	Type	Description
Blending Strategy	mcBlendingGeo	`MC.MC_BLENDING_STRATEGY`	The blending path is defined geometrically and then executed with the dynamics allowed for the path.
Blending Strategy	mcBlendingSuperpos	`MC.MC_BLENDING_STRATEGY`	The blending path results dynamically from the superposition of two segments in the blending area.

Time Override Ramp Time

Ramp time for override modification from 0 % to 100 %. The time override is superimposed on the actual profile. This can result in higher dynamics in total during the override changes than were parameterized at the group.

Tracking Override Behavior

Defines whether the Conveyor Tracking override also affects the conveyor.

Available from TF5400 3.2.27.

Parameter	Value	Type	Description
Tracking Override Behavior	Disable	`MC.OverrideBehavior`	The group override has no effect on the conveyor during conveyor tracking.
Tracking Override Behavior	Enable	`MC.OverrideBehavior`	The group override also affects the conveyor during conveyor tracking.

GeoBlending-specific parameters

Blending Path Type

Defines the geometry used for the blending path.

Parameter	Value	Type	Description
Blending Path Type	mcBlendingPathTypeIgnore	`MC.MC_BLENDING_PATH_TYPE`	No blending.
Blending Path Type	mcBlendingPathTypePoly5	`MC.MC_BLENDING_PATH_TYPE`	The blending path uses a fifth degree polynomial.
