Motion Instructions
This chapter describes the motion instructions for RSLogix 5000
programming software.
The motion instructions for the RSLogix 5000 programming software consist
of six main categories:
• Motion State instructions – to control or change the operating state of
an axis.
• Motion Move instructions – to control all aspects of axis position.
• Motion Group instructions – to control a group of axes.
• Motion Event instructions – control the arming and disarming of
special event checking functions.
• Motion Configuration instructions – to tune an axis and to run
diagnostic tests for the system.
• Motion Coordinated Move instructions – to control multi-axis
coordinated motion.
• Motion Direct Commands.
For more information about motion instructions, refer to the Logix5000
Controller Motion Instruction Set Reference Manual (publication 1756-RM007).
Motion State Instructions
Motion state instructions directly control or change the operating state of an
axis.
The motion state instructions are:
Instruction
Abbreviation
Description
Motion Servo On
MSO
Enables the servo drive and activates the axis servo loop
Motion Servo Off
MSF
Disables the servo drive and deactivates the axis servo loop
Motion Axis Shutdown
MASD
Forces an axis into the shutdown operating state
Once the axis is in the shutdown state, the controller will block any
instructions that initiate axis motion.
