Event Control Overview 4.1
Controller Features 4-1
To start a sequence of events, use one of these methods:
• Issue a Start Event command to trigger an event from RMCWin or the Programmable Controller.
• Use the Input to Event Table to trigger an event sequence from a digital input.
A sequence of events will stop when one of the following occurs:
• A Quit Events command has been issued from RMCWin or the Programmable Controller.
• A step is executed which has a Link Type of 0.
• A Halt or Disable Drive Output command is carried out.
• Another Start Event command is carried out. This stops the current sequence and starts the
new one.
The following additional details should also be kept in mind:
• The Mode, Accel, Decel, Speed and/or Command Value fields need not be filled out if the
command does not use them.
• The command field can be left blank in a step if only the link type is being used. This is useful
for chaining steps together to make a sequence wait for multiple conditions to all be true.
• The command in an event will be executed as soon as a step is reached in the event sequence.
• The next Step in the sequence will be executed as soon as the conditions from the Link Type
and Link Value are met.
• Multiple axes can be made to follow identical patterns simultaneously by using the same steps
on each.
• Steps may be conditionally branched using the Poll (?) command.
• Pop-up editors may be used for simplified editing of the Mode, Commanded Axes, Link Type
and Link Next fields. For information on using these editors, see Using Popup Editors.
Example
In the following example three steps are executed. They cause the axis to make a move, wait and
then make another move:
