7. Output Control during Path Movement
Description
In a coating application, etc., output control may be required while the actuator is moving. With the X-SEL
controllers, a signal can be output while the actuator is moving by a PATH command.
How to Use
Before a PATH command, declare a POTP command to output a signal during movement.
If a desired output or global flag is specified in the output field of the PATH command, the output or flag
specified in the output field will turn ON when the actuator approaches the position specified in the PATH
command via path movement.
Example of Use 1
The actuator moves from P1 to P5 without stopping
based on the position layout shown to the right, and turns
ON output port 310 upon approaching P2.
Outputs and flags can only be turned ON. Once the path operation has completed, turn OFF the
applicable output/flag in the program (using a BTOF command).
Example of Use 2
Outputs 310 to 313 can be turned ON sequentially at the respective points of P2 to P5.
m A declaration command to output a signal during path
movement.
m 310 is turned ON at the position P2 specified in this step.
m A declaration command to output a signal during path
movement.
m Outputs 310 to 313 are turned ON sequentially at the
respective positions of P2 to P5 specified in this step.
