FB_ClampingStation - CyclicMotionCall (Method)

Overview

Type:	Method
Available as of:	V1.0.0.0

Task

Handling the carriers in the clamping station.

Description

With the method CyclicMotionCall, you can control the carrier movement in the clamping station:

the start of the clamping movement when the property xStationReadyForClamping indicates that the carriers in the process are in standstill and are ready for clamping
the start of the leaving movement when the property xStationReadyForMoveOut indicates that the carriers in the process are in standstill and are ready for moving out

The input iq_xTriggerMoveOut is only evaluated when the property xStationReadyForMoveOut is TRUE.

When the input iq_xTriggerMoveOut is already set to TRUE or has a positive edge:

the MoveOut command is placed,
the pairs of carriers are logically handed over, and
both signals iq_xTriggerMoveOut and xStationReadyForMoveOut are reset to FALSE.

The method CyclicMotionCall must be called cyclically.

NOTE: Before executing the method CyclicMotionCall, the function block FB_ClampingStation must be enabled and the methods SetMotionParameter, SetClampParameter, and SetStationParameter must be called at least once.
