188 Motion Control Theory
a. Movement parameter setup
Please set up movement parameters before executing movement
commands including absolute and relative movement, maximum,
ending velocity, acceleration and deceleration, S-factor and speed
blending method between adjacent paths, for speed and path
planning applicable to applications. Please note that these
parameter settings are kept by the program memory once being
set up. Existing settings may be applied to other movement
commands automatically. Repetitive setups are not required for
each movement command unless you want to change parameter
settings.
b. Instruction command setup
The instruction command is executed simultaneously with the
point table's movement one. That is, it may control digital outputs
concurrently at different movement section during motion
execution.
