Motion Blocks
Motion blocks include all blocks that cause or directly affect motion of
the physical axes. GML Commander provides blocks for homing,
moving, jogging, electronic gearing, multi-axis interpolation, and
electronic cams.
The following table presents the icons for each block in this category
along with a brief description. More detailed descriptions of the blocks
are contained on the pages following this table.
Use this block: To:
Home an axis and define that axis’ actual position.
• Move a physical or imaginary axis to a specified absolute position,
or by a specified incremental distance.
• Perform other special types of moves.
Jog (that is, continuously move) a physical or imaginary axis in a
specified direction, at a specified speed, using specified acceleration
and deceleration values
Electronically gear two axes at a set ratio.
