Configuring the Ultra5000 Drive Chapter 4

Understanding the Move
Window

The Properties window of the Move branch looks like this.

Use the Move window to:

set move distance, velocity, acceleration and deceleration parameters,

monitor status relating to a move as it executes, and

issue commands that start, stop, reset and abort a move.

You can edit parameters for both an online and an offline Move branch.
However, you can monitor status and execute direct commands (executed
through the Ultraware interface, rather than through a compiled, loaded and
executed program) only for a Move branch that is the child of an online drive.

The following parameters can be entered and edited in the Move window.

Parameter

Description

Profile Distance

The distance, in counts, that the motor is to move.

Velocity

The commanded motor velocity, in counts per second.

Acceleration

The acceleration rate used when ramping-up to the move's Velocity,
in counts per second squared. Must be >= 0.

Deceleration

The deceleration rate used when ramping-down from the move's
Velocity to zero, in counts per second squared. Must be >= 0.
