Where to Start
Hardware and Software Compatibility
The motion control feature on Micro830 and Micro850 controller is implemented through Pulse Train Outputs (PTOs)
and motion axes, which are summarized in the following table.

IMPORTANT Software and Firmware Requirements
• For programming, motion control is supported on Connected Components Workbench software
revision 2 and later.
• Micro830 controllers require firmware revision 2 and later.
ATTENTION: To use the Micro800 motion control feature effectively, users need to have a basic
understanding of the following:
• PTO components and parameters
See the Micro830 and Micro850 User Manual, publication 2080-UM002 , for a general overview of Motion
components and their relationships.
• Programming and working with elements in the Connected Components Workbench software
The user needs to have a working knowledge of ladder diagram, structured text, or function block diagram
programming to be able to work with motion function blocks, variables, and axis configuration parameters.
ATTENTION: To learn more about Connected Components Workbench and detailed descriptions of the
variables for the Motion Function Blocks, you can refer to Connected Components Workbench Online Help that
comes with your Connected Components Workbench installation.
