Motion Controller Functions

617

SLC Bit Input

Use the SLC_bit_input function to directly specify the SLC input bits on
1394 motion controllers in an expression. The SLC_bit_input function is
not available for Compact, Integrated, or Basic motion controllers.

You define and select SLC input bits in the Tag Explorer (under SLC
Input Bit) and Tag Window. It is not necessary to use the SLC_bit_input
function to specify them directly.

Syntax:

SLC_bit_input[address]

Insert a value or expression equal to the desired input address for the
argument. The argument is evaluated as an integer (floating-point values
are truncated) and must have a value from 0 to 39 inclusive.

AxisLink Input

Use the

AxisLink_input function to directly specify AxisLink inputs to

IMC-S/2xx-L model motion controllers in an expression

You define and select AxisLink inputs using the Tag Explorer (under
AxisLink I/O Input) and Tag Window. It is not necessary to use this
function to specify them directly.

Syntax:

AxisLink_input[controller node, address]

The AxisLink_input function is evaluated as 1 (true) if the input is ON
and 0 (false) if it is OFF.

Argument

Description

Controller Node

The controller node on the link (from 0 to 15) from which output is
read.

Address

The address, or signal number, (from 0 to 15) of the selected
controller’s specific output to be read.
