Selecting a Submover
A TcCOM object XPlanarMoverCoupling must be added to the processing unit before the linking of the submovers can begin. Further information can be found in chapter Mover coupling.
The submovers are created automatically when the XPlanarRigidMoverCoupling is created.
- ►Expand Solution Explorer > System > TcCOM Objects > Object (XPlanarProcessingUnit)
- ►Double-click on Object (XPlanarRigidMoverCoupling)
- ►Click on the Context tab in the project window
- ►In the drop-down menu, select a task to be used as the primary task for all objects
The selected task must be used for at least one submover.
- ►Click the Parameter (Init) tab in the project window
- ►Expand SubMoverConfig
- ►Select the number of submovers in the RigidMoverCouplingConfigurations drop-down menu
The following input fields are created for each submover of a mover coupling:
- XDistanceFromSetpointOrigin
- YDistanceFromSetpointOrigin
- ZDistanceFromSetpointOrigin
- TaskOID
- MoverType
- BTN
 | Only one mover type possible Only one mover type can be chosen for each mover coupling. The choice of different mover types in a mover coupling is not permitted. |
- ►Select MoverType from the MoverType drop-down menu
- ►Enter values for the position of the submover to the setpoint origin in the XDistanceFromSetpointOrigin, YDistanceFromSetpointOrigin and ZDistanceFromSetpointOrigin input fields
Further information can be found in chapter Setpoint origin.
- ►Select a task from the TaskOID drop-down menu
At least one submover must use the same task that was chosen for the coupling.
- ►If required, enter the submover's BTN in the BTN input field
Further information on the BTN can be found in the XPlanar original operating instructions or at:
- ►Enter values for all submovers in the same way
- ►Expand General
- ►If required, select a parametrization set from the ParametrizationSetId drop-down menu
The mover coupling is active as soon as all movers are found at a defined distance from each other during Mover Detection.
