MC_Jog 2: Inputs

Name

Type

Default

Description

JogForward

BOOL

 

The command is executed with a rising edge, and the axis is moved in positive direction. Depending on the mode, the axis moves as long as the signal remains TRUE, or it stops automatically after a specified distance.

JogBackward

BOOL

 

The command is executed with a rising edge, and the axis is moved in negative direction. Depending on the mode, the axis moves as long as the signal remains TRUE, or it stops automatically after a specified distance.

Mode

EJogMode

StandardSlow

Determines the operation mode in which the manual function is executed.

Distance

LREAL

#Ignore

Distance for movements in Mode Inching

Velocity

LREAL

#Ignore

Jog velocity ([PosUnit]/s, positive). Required for Continuous and Inching modes; StandardSlow and StandardFast use axis defaults.

Acceleration

LREAL

#Default

Maximum acceleration ([PosUnit]/s^2, positive)

Deceleration

LREAL

#Default

Maximum deceleration ([PosUnit]/s^2, positive)

Jerk

LREAL

#Default

Maximum jerk ([PosUnit]/s^3, positive)

Further information

The operating mode of the MC_Jog function block is defined via the input Mode of type E_JogMode:

E_JogMode.StandardSlow

The axis moves as long as the signal at either the JogForward or JogBackward TRUE input is TRUE. The velocity specified by the Jog Velocity Slow axis parameter and the dynamics specified by the Acceleration, Deceleration, and Jerk inputs are used.

The Distance and Velocity function block inputs have no effect in this operating mode.

E_JogMode.StandardFast

The axis moves as long as the signal at either the JogForward or JogBackward TRUE input is TRUE. The velocity specified by the Jog Velocity Fast axis parameter and the dynamics specified by the Acceleration, Deceleration, and Jerk inputs are used.

The Distance and Velocity function block inputs have no effect in this operating mode.

E_JogMode.Continuous

The axis moves as long as the signal at either the JogForward or JogBackward TRUE input is TRUE.

The function block input Distance has no effect in this operating mode.

E_JogMode.Inching

The axis moves by the distance specified at the Distance input of the function block as soon as a rising edge is detected at the JogForward or JogBackward input.

Possible error codes

For this function block, the following values, among others, are possible for the ErrorId output:

Error(Hex)

Error(Dec)

Error type

Description

0x8145

33093

Function Block

Mapping of cyclic interface between NC and PLC is missing (e.g., AXIS_REF, AXES_GROUP_REF, ...). A reference used by the function block (e.g., to an axis, group, mover or other motion object) is not linked to the corresponding NC object, or its cyclic mapping is incomplete.

0x8146

33094

Function Block

Invalid velocity value. The velocity was not set or the entered value is invalid.

0x8151

33105

State

Command is not allowed in current axis state. If the axis has no controller enable, is in error or has been added to a group, some commands are not permitted.

0x8196

33174

Initialization

Invalid position or distance. The actual or specified position or distance could not be determined or is invalid.

0x819a

33178

NC Programming

Direction-dependent feed enable is missing. The execution of this command is not possible because of a missing direction-dependent feed enable.

0x819b

33179

NC Programming

Controller enable is missing. The controller enable of the axis was withdrawn during a movement. The dynamics of the setpoint did not correspond to zero dynamics.

0x81a9

33193

Parameter

Invalid acceleration value. The supplied acceleration value is invalid (e.g. not a finite number, negative or outside the permitted range).

0x81aa

33194

Parameter

Invalid deceleration value. The supplied deceleration value is invalid (e.g. not a finite number, negative or outside the permitted range).

0x81ab

33195

Parameter

Invalid jerk value. The jerk value used for the motion is invalid (e.g., negative, zero, or outside the permitted range of the mover or axis).
