There are three ways to specify module axis motion: by setpoints, by jogging or
by motion blocks. All motion must be started using the command block and/or
hardware inputs.
Setpoints
The module must have the axis controller in auto mode if you are using setpoint
moves. You can switch between modes using the auto/manual bit in the
command block or the auto/manual discrete input.
Important: The auto/manual bit and the auto/manual input must both be high
to enter auto mode.
In the auto mode, you position the actuator by commanding desired setpoints
using the command block. You can:
define up to 12 setpoints through the setpoint block. You can define the 13th
setpoint within the command block.
specify acceleration, deceleration, and velocity for each setpoint move.
