Position Regulator Step Types

Encoder Incremental (Encoder Incr) - This is a move increment from the current
position in the direction, distance and speed programmed. When started the drive
ramps to the desired velocity, holds the speed, then ramps to zero speed at the
position desired within the tolerance window.

The example below shows a five step profile. The first three are “Encoder Incr
steps” followed by an “Encoder Abs” step to zero then an “End” step. For each
“Encoder Incr” step the drive ramps at [Step X AccelTime] to [Step X Velocity] in
the direction of the sign of [Step X Value] then decelerates at the rate of [Step X
DecelTime] to the position programmed in [Step X Value] which sets the desired
units of travel for the step. When the value programmed in [Step X Value] is
reached within the tolerance window programmed in [Encoder Pos Tol], the “At
Position” bit is set in [Profile Status]. In this example a dwell value held each of the
first three steps “At Position” for 1 second. After the [Step X Dwell] time expires
the profile transitions to the next step. The absolute step is used to send the profile
back to the home position. This is done by programming [Step 4 Value] to zero.
