Chapter 6 Programming Motion
Overview
The DMC-2x00 provides several modes of motion, including independent positioning and jogging,
coordinated motion, electronic cam motion, and electronic gearing. Each one of these modes is
discussed in the following sections.
The DMC-2x10 is a single axis controller and uses A-axis motion only. Likewise, the DMC-2x20 uses
A and B, the DMC-2x30 uses A,B and C, and the DMC-2x40 uses A,B,C and D. The DMC-2x50 uses
A,B,C,D, and E. The DMC-2x60 uses A,B,C,D,E, and F. The DMC-2x70 uses A,B,C,D,E,F and G.
The DMC-2x80 uses the axes A,B,C,D,E,F,G, and H.
The example applications described below will help guide you to the appropriate mode of motion.
Example Application Mode of Motion Commands
Absolute or relative positioning where each axis is
independent and follows prescribed velocity
profile. Independent Axis Positioning PA,PR
SP,AC,DC
Velocity control where no final endpoint is
prescribed. Motion stops on Stop command. Independent Jogging JG
AC,DC
ST
Absolute positioning mode where absolute position
targets may be sent to the controller while the axis
is in motion. Position Tracking PA, PT
SP
AC, DC
Motion Path described as incremental position
points versus time. Contour Mode CM
CD
DT
WC
2,3 or 4 axis coordinated motion where path is
described by linear segments. Linear Interpolation LM
LI,LE
VS,VR
VA,VD
