Appendix
7. Output Control during Path Movement
Description
In coating application, etc., output control may become necessary while the actuator is moving. X-SEL
controllers let you issue outputs while the actuator is moving according to a PATH command.
How to Use
Before issuing a PATH command, declare a POTP command to permit output during movement.
If any output or global flag is specified in the output field of the PATH command, the output or flag
specified in the output field will turn ON when the actuator approaches via path movement the position
specified by the PATH command.
Example of Use 1
The actuator moves through the positions shown to the right, or
from P1 to P5, without stopping and by turning output port 310
ON as it passes near P2.
The output or flag can only be controlled to an ON state. Turn it OFF using the program (via a BTOF
command) after the path operation has completed.
Example of Use 2
Outputs 310 to 313 can be turned ON sequentially at points P2 to P5.
m A declaration command to permit output during path movement
m Turn 310 ON at the position P2 specified in this step.
m A declaration command to permit output during path movement
m Outputs 310 to 313 are turned ON sequentially at the respective
positions P2 to P5 specified in this step.
