VT (Vector Time Constant)
[Motion]
DESCRIPTION:
The VT command filters the acceleration and deceleration functions in vector moves of
LM (Linear Interpolation Mode)
type to produce a smooth velocity profile. The resulting
profile, known as Smoothing, has continuous acceleration and results in reduced mechanical vibrations.
VT sets the bandwidth of the filter, where 1 means no filtering and 0.004 means maximum filtering. Note
that the filtering results in longer motion time.
ARGUMENTS: VT s,t
where
s and t are unsigned numbers in the range between 0.004 and 1.0, with a resolution of 1/256. The value s
applies to the S coordinate system and t applies to the T coordinate system.
USAGE:
OPERAND USAGE:
_VTn contains the vector time constant, for the specified coordinate plane, where n is S or T.
