Parameter Descriptions
Command In Progress
Index.#.CommandInProgress
The Index.#.CommandInProgress source is active throughout an entire index profile. The
source activates at the beginning of the index acceleration ramp, and deactivates at the end of
the index deceleration ramp.
Compound Initiate
Index.#.CompoundInitiate
When activated will initiate the specified Index to compound into the next index in the
program. Only allowed in a program.
Deceleration
Index.#.Decel
This parameter is the Average Deceleration rate used during the index. Units are specified on
the User Units page.
Decelerating
Index.#.Decelerating
This source is active while an index is decelerating from its target velocity. Once the index
reaches zero velocity, or its next target velocity, the Index.#.Decelerating source will
deactivate.
Distance
Index.#.Dist
This parameter is the Incremental distance that the index will travel or the absolute position
for the specified index in user units. If an index type of Registration is selected, then this is
a limit distance, or the maximum distance the index will travel if a registration sensor is not
seen.
Index Time
Index#.IndexTime
This parameter is used in conjunction with the Index.TimeIndexEnable parameter. If
TimeIndexEnable is activated, then this is the time in which an index should complete its
programmed distance. The units for this parameter depend on the current setting of the
TimeBase parameter for the specific index. If TimeBase is set to "Realtime" (default), then
the units are Seconds. The user can program the index time with resolution on 0.001 Seconds
(or milliseconds). If TimeBase is set to "Synchronized", the units defined by the Master
Distance Units found on the Master Setup screen.
