6 Programming Motion

Overview

The LEGEND-MC provides several modes of motion, including independent positioning and jogging,
coordinated motion, electronic cam motion, and electronic gearing. Each one of these modes is discussed
in the following sections.

The LEGEND-MC is a single axis controller and uses X-axis motion only. The example applications
described below will help guide you to the appropriate mode of motion.

Example Application

Mode of Motion

Commands

Absolute or relative positioning where
each axis is independent and follows
prescribed velocity profile.

Independent Axis Positioning

PA,PR

SP,AC,DC

Velocity control where no final endpoint is
prescribed. Motion stops on Stop
command.

Independent Jogging

JG

AC,DC

ST

Motion Path described as incremental
position points versus time.

Contour Mode

CM

CD

DT

WC

1 motion where path is described by linear
segments.

Linear Interpolation

LM

LI,LE

VS,VR

VA,VD

Electronic gearing where slave axis is
scaled to master axis which can move in
both directions.

Electronic Gearing

GA

GR

Master/slave where slave axes must follow
a master such as conveyer speed.

Electronic Gearing

GA

GR

Moving along arbitrary profiles or
mathematically prescribed profiles such as
sine or cosine trajectories.

Contour Mode
