Visual movement commands

At a Glance

To carry out a visual movement, you must use the manual commands JOG_P and JOG_M.

The bits JOG_P (%Qr.m.c.1) and JOG_M (%Qr.m.c.2) control the movement of the moving part in the positive or negative direction. The operator must visually follow the position of the moving part. The movement continues for as long as the command is present and it is not disabled by a STOP command or a fault.

The commands JOG_P and JOG_M are taken into account on edge and are kept active on state, whether the axis is referenced or not.

Movement speed

The movement is carried out at the manual mode speed MAN_SPD, defined in the adjustment screen (or in the double word MAN_SPD (%MDr.m.c.20)).

The speed can be modulated during movement by means of the CMV (Speed Modulation Coefficient) (%QWr.m.c.1).

Any movement speed higher than FMAX (maximum speed of the axis defined at configuration) is limited to the FMAX value.

Notes on the JOG_P and JOG_M commands

The commands JOG_P and JOG_M are used to release the moving part when a software limit fault is detected. This is done after first acknowledging the fault.
If the JOG_P or JOG_M bit is set to 1 when switching to manual mode, this command is not recognized. It will only be recognized when the bit has been cleared and then reset to 1 (detection of rising edge).
