Manual Mode
(Original Document)
Introduction
This mode allows you to use specific commands to perform continuous or incremental movements along real or imaginary axes.
NOTE: This mode is available:
  • via the program with a TSX CSY 84 module with SV version ≥ 1.2 or TSX CSY 164 module (any release),
  • via the Control Expert debug screen (version 2.1 or later).
Manual movements use the speed configured by default (1/2 of VMax). However, it is possible to modify:
It is also possible to reference the axis to the origin or to a specific point via the debug screen or via the program, using the Home, ForcedHomed and SetPosition functions.
The following commands are not available in manual mode:
Accessing Manual Mode
Manual mode can be accessed from the debug screen or via the program, using the Set_Functional_Mode function.
NOTE: By default, the axis is in Auto mode after configuration.
The Different Commands
Four commands can be used to perform different movements.
Name
Description
Jog+
used on a rising edge to perform continuous movements in a positive direction (1).
used on a falling edge to stop the movement in progress.
Jog-
used on a rising edge to perform continuous movements in a negative direction (1).
used on a falling edge to stop the movement in progress.
Inc+
used on a rising edge to perform incremental movements on a referenced axis in a positive direction (2).
Inc-
used on a rising edge to perform incremental movements on a referenced axis in a negative direction (2).
Legend
(1)
The movement limit values are:
  • the software limits for a referenced axis,
  • the maximum for the theoretical position of the axis for a non-referenced axis.
(2)
Increment given in thousandths of the chosen unit.
The value of the chosen increment must be within the movement limit values for the axis less the tolerance around target position.
Activation Conditions
The different commands are only activated under the following conditions:
NOTE: If any one of these conditions is not met, a message relating to the missing condition is displayed.
Exception: If, during the same cycle and for the same axis, the module receives a falling edge on the Jog command in progress and a rising edge on another manual command, only the falling edge is taken into account.
