7. Output Control during Path Movement
Description
In spray operation, etc., output control may be required while the actuator is moving. The ASEL controller
can output signals while the actuator is moving with a PATH command.
How to Use
Before executing a PATH command, declare a POTP command to specify signal output during movement.
If a given 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 as the actuator approaches, via path movement, the position
specified in the PATH command.
Example of Use 1
The actuator moves from P1 to P5 along the positions shown at
right, without stopping. As the actuator approaches P2, output
port 304 turns ON.
A declaration command to specify signal output during path
movement.
304 turns ON when the actuator approaches P2 specified in
this step.
Outputs and flags can only be turned ON. The output or flag that was turned ON during path operation
must be turned OFF (using a BTOF command) after the operation is completed.
Example of Use 2
Outputs 304 to 307 can be turned ON sequentially at the respective points of P2 to P5.
A declaration command to specify signal output during path
movement.
304 to 307 turn ON sequentially at P2 to P5 specified in this
step.
