Absolute Positioning: Move Absolute
Original instructions
About us
Description
This function is used to manage a complete movement of the axis from the current position to a specified target position.
The target position is directly specified with its coordinate, in pulses, relative to a previously set origin.
The velocity of the axis will follow a trapezoidal profile:
NOTE: No absolute positioning command can be performed while "REFERENCED" is low. Any absolute positioning command sent while REFERENCED is low will be rejected and an error notification is reported in the CMD_FLT status word (%MWr.m.c.3.5).
"REFERENCED" is an implicit bit (%IWr.m.c.6.7) which reports information on whether the axis is referenced or not.This bit will be set to 1 by the module when a referencing command (Homing or SetPosition) is completed
It will return to 0:
  • Each time synchronization is lost between the PTO channel and the drive (Drive_Ready input is off.)
  • At the beginning of each new homing command.
Physical Inputs/Output
Input/Output
Description
Drive_Ready&Emergency input (optional)
The pulse output is generated as long as a current goes through Drive_Ready&Emergency input.
Proximity&LimitSwitch input (optional)
Used as a LimitSwitch.
Counter_in_Position input (optional)
Only for information.
Input from the drive goes high when positioning movement is completed (the drive’s error counter is empty).
Drive_Enable output:
To be connected to the corresponding input of the drive.
Enables the drive when active.
This output is directly controlled by the user through an implicit command object (%Qr.m.c.0).

WARNING
UNINTENDED APPLICATION BEHAVIOR-COMMAND SENT ON EACH PLC CYCLE
Commands will be sent on every PLC cycle if EN is set to 1.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

If the set target velocity cannot be reached before attaining the target position, the axis velocity will then follow a triangular profile:
