ElmoMC SimplIQ Digital Servo Drives-Bell Command Reference - Manual (Page 277)

Example:
Consider a manipulator that works a conveyor. Whenever a box arrives, the roller prints
a label on the box. The roller turns continuously at the following line speed:
FR[3] = (counts per roller revolution) / (conveyor encoder counts/mm*2*
π*r(mm)).
In order to print the label in the correct place, the roller position must be zero at the point
in which the sensor senses the next box. When a new box arrives, it homes the auxiliary
encoder to read zero.
At the time of auxiliary homing (when a new box arrives at the sensor), the external
reference jumps by PY*FR. The software command to the roller jumps in parallel by
-PY*FR, so that the roller continues to turn normally.
Programming the ##AUTO_HM routine as:
function AUTO_HM()
PA=0;BG;
return
will position the roller phased correctly with respect to the next box.
6.3. Stop Manager
6.3.1 General Description
The stop manager block as the following functions:
Stops the motion upon sensing a Stop switch, or upon sensing an RLS or FLS limit
switch.
Protects against discontinuity in the controller command. A discontinuity may occur
due to:
A switch that abruptly stops the motion.
An application error (an absolute motion mode such as PVT is started with
unacceptable initial conditions).
