MC_MoveAdditive

Functional Description

This function block starts a movement to the original target position including distance Distance.

Library and Namespace

Library name: GMC Independent PLCopen MC

Namespace: GIPLC

Inputs

Input

Data type

Description

Execute

BOOL

Value range: FALSE, TRUE.

Default value: FALSE.

A rising edge of the input Execute starts the function block. The function block continues execution and the output Busy is set to TRUE.

This function block can be restarted while it is executed. The target values are overwritten by the new values at the point in time the rising edge occurs.

Distance

DINT

Value range: -2147483648...2147483647

Default value: 0

Target position relative to the previous target position in user-defined units.

Velocity

DINT

Value range: -2147483648...2147483647

Default value: 0

Target velocity in user-defined units.

Outputs

Output

Data type

Description

Done

BOOL

Value range: FALSE, TRUE.

Default value: FALSE.

  • FALSE: Execution has not been started, or an error has been detected.

  • TRUE: Execution terminated without an error detected.

Busy

BOOL

Value range: FALSE, TRUE.

Default value: FALSE.

  • FALSE: Function block is not being executed.

  • TRUE: Function block is being executed.

CommandAborted

BOOL

Value range: FALSE, TRUE.

Default value: FALSE.

  • FALSE: Execution has not been aborted.

  • TRUE: Execution has been aborted by another function block.

Error

BOOL

Value range: FALSE, TRUE.

Default value: FALSE.

  • FALSE: Execution of the function block is running, no error has been detected.

  • TRUE: An error has been detected in the execution of the function block.

ErrorID

WORD

Returns the value of a diagnostic code. Refer to Library Diagnostic Codes. If the value is 0 and if the output Error of this function block is set to TRUE, then the diagnostic code can be read with the output AxisErrorID of the function block MC_ReadAxisError.

Data type

Description

Axis

Axis_Ref

Reference to the axis (instance) for which the function block is to be executed (corresponds to the name of the axis). The name of the axis must be defined in the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Devices tree.

Notes

This function block uses library-specific acceleration and deceleration values for LXM32M (EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP) and for Lexium ILA, ILE and ILS integrated drives (EtherNet/IP only). This means that pre-configured values for these parameters (for example, via the commissioning tool) are overwritten when this function block is executed.

The default acceleration and deceleration values written by this function block are as follows:

  • The default values for acceleration are:

    • 600 user-defined units for LXM32M

    • 600 user-defined units for Lexium ILA, ILE and ILS integrated drives

  • The default values for deceleration are:

    • 600 user-defined units for LXM32M

    • 750 user-defined units for Lexium ILA, ILE and ILS integrated drives

If you require other acceleration and/or deceleration values, you must use the vendor-specific function blocks to do so. Use the function blocks SetDriveRamp_LXM32 and SetDriveRamp_ILX to define the acceleration and deceleration. The function block has to be executed only once if a change of the ramp values is required.
