Motion Blocks

Move a group of two or more physical or imaginary axes either to an
absolute position on, or by a specified incremental distance, along a
linear, circular or helical path.

Change the:
• Speed of trapezoidal profile moves
• Speed, acceleration, and deceleration of trapezoidal profile jogs.

Let the motion controller use an analog input to generate a scaled
position offset, and add that offset to the command position of the
specified servo axis.

Set up the necessary conditions for executing a time-lock or
position-lock cam, or to set up a pending position-lock cam that
blends one position-lock cam profile into another.

Executes a time-lock cam profile created by a previous Configure
Cam block. Time-lock cams allow the execution of motion profiles
other than the built-in trapezoidal, S-curve, or parabolic profiles

Execute a position-lock cam profile created by a previous Configure
Cam block. Position-lock cams provide the capability of
implementing non-linear electronic gearing relationships between
two axes.

Stop a position-lock cam block from executing. The axis stops
immediately with no deceleration.
