SMC–4000 User Manual

Independent Jogging

The jog mode of motion is very flexible because speed, direction and acceleration can be changed during
motion. The user specifies the

JG (Jog)

,

AC (Acceleration)

, and

DC (Deceleration)

commands for each

axis. The direction of motion is specified by the sign of the JG parameters. When the

BG (Begin)

command is given, the motor accelerates up to speed and continues to jog at that speed until a new speed
or

ST (Stop)

command is issued. If the jog speed is changed during motion, the controller will make an

accelerated (or decelerated) change to the new speed.

An instant change to the motor position can be made with the use of the

IP (Increment Position)

command.

Upon receiving this command, the controller commands the motor to a position which is equal to the
specified increment plus the current position. This command is useful when trying to synchronize the
position of two motors while they are moving.

Note that the controller operates as a closed-loop position controller while in the jog mode. The
SMC–4000 converts the velocity profile into a position trajectory and a new position target is generated
every sample period. This method of control results in precise speed regulation with phase lock accuracy.

Command Summary - Jogging

Parameters can be set with individual axis specifiers such as JGY=2000 (set jog speed for Y axis to 2000)
or AC 400000, 400000 (set acceleration for X and Y axes to 400000).
