INTELLIGENT ACTUATOR
Appendix
Appendix
6. Path Operation
Description
Causes the actuator to move continuously along given
four points without stopping (path movement).
The actuator moves along the path shown to the right,
without stopping at P2 or P3.
Unlike in operations using a MOVP or MOVL, the actuator
need not be positioned at P2 and P3 and thus the tact
time of movement can be reduced.
Assume that the following command is executed when the
actuator is stopped at P1:
PATH 2 4
The actuator will move to P1, continue to move along
points near P2 and P3, and finally reach P4. (Increasing
the acceleration will bring the passing points closer to the
specified positions.)
Assume that the following commands are entered successively:
PATH 2 3
PATH 3 4
The actuator will perform the same operation it would under the following command:
PATH 2 4
The actuator will perform a reverse operation (P4 o P3 o P2 o P1) if the following command is
entered while the actuator is stopped at P4:
PATH 4 1
