E.1 Link Types and Link Values
Link Type and Link Value specify the condition that causes the motion controller to execute the
next step in a sequence. These fields may be edited manually; however in most cases it is easier
to use the Link Type and Link Value dialog box.
To use the Link Type and Link Value dialog box:
1. Select the Link Type or Link Value field on the axis you want to edit.
2. Press ENTER. You can also double-click on either of these fields.
3. Under Link Type Category, select the appropriate category. See the list below describing each
category and the link types under each.
4. If you selected the Selected Axis (Enhanced) link type category, then select the axis you want to
monitor.
5. Under Link Type, select the particular link type you want to use. See the list below and associated
topics on each link type.
6. Under Link Condition, enter the settings for the particular link type selected.
7. The actual Link Type and Link Value that will be entered are displayed in the Link Type and Link
Value dialog box to the left of the OK button. These values are updated as you make changes.
8. Click OK.
When viewed from a communication module (such as PROFIBUS-DP, Ethernet, etc.), the Link
Type and Link Next fields are combined into a single 16-bit register, as detailed in the Link
Type/Next topic. From PROFIBUS-DP Compact Mode and DI/O Command Mode, the Event Step
Edit and Event Step Transfer commands are used to set this value. For all other communication
types, they are accessed like any other register. Use the appropriate register map or use the
Address Tool to find addresses of these values.
The Link Type and Link Value dialog box divides the link types into three categories:
• System-wide (Basic, non-axis dependent)
These link types allow the axis to wait on a global condition such as a time delay or discrete input.
These link types are listed below; select a link type for further details:
Link Type Description
End of Sequence This link type stops the event sequence.
Comm Trigger Wait for synchronization signal from the
communications master.
