Rockwell Automation 2080-LC50 Getting Started with Motion Control Using a Simulated Axis - Manual (Page 7)

Where to Start
Overview of Sample Project
This quick start instruction serves to enable users to the use the motion control feature on Micro830 and Micro850
controllers. It uses a sample simulation program to familiarize the user with motion control instructions and related
parameter and wiring configurations. In particular, this project lets the user enable an axis, home an axis, move an axis, and
use touch probe to capture current position in a simulated environment.
The project uses the minimum components to use motion control. It does not require a servo drive. The PTO output is
wired directly to the high speed counter input. It makes use of high speed counter inputs to count the pulse train output
(PTO) for the current position.
The following diagram illustrates how this project simulates motion control. The elements of this project are shown in the
following diagram.
Download the Simulation Project
You can also download the code for the complete simulation project from the following link:

The downloadable code includes an optional PanelView Component (PVc) program, which allows the user to easily update
and monitor different axis parameters through a PVc screen.
If you opt not to use a PanelView Component, use the Connected Components Workbench software to toggle variable
input values and trigger motion instructions. Axis monitoring can also be done through the same software through the Axis
Monitor feature.
To get started, check that your Micro800 controller supports motion control.
