VT (Vector Time Constant)

[Motion]

DESCRIPTION:

The VT command filters the acceleration and deceleration functions in vector moves of

VM (Coordinated

Motion Mode)

,

LM (Linear Interpolation Mode)

type to produce a smooth velocity profile. The resulting

profile, known as Smoothing, has continuous acceleration and results in reduced mechanical vibrations.
VT sets the bandwidth of the filter, where 1 means no filtering and 0.004 means maximum filtering. Note
that the filtering results in longer motion time.

ARGUMENTS: VT s,t

where

s and t are unsigned numbers in the range between 0.004 and 1.0, with a resolution of 1/256. The value s
applies to the S coordinate system and t applies to the T coordinate system.

USAGE:

OPERAND USAGE:

_VTn contains the vector time constant, for the specified coordinate plane, where n is S or T.
