Command: Enable SoftMotion Function : The command enables the components of SoftMotion for the selected controller and makes it possible to use the controller as a motion controller. Call : Project me
Command: Disable SoftMotion Function : The command disables the components of SoftMotion . Call : Project menu; context menu of a selected device in the device tree Requirement : For the selected cont
Logical Drive You can add a logical drive to any kind of drive unit. The axis of the logical drive mirrors the motion of their master axis while it represents a standalone instance. . This allows for
Virtual Drive Virtual drives are simulated drives in software. With this, you can test your programs without connected hardware or implement extended functionalities. These kinds of functions include,
Free Encoder Use the Free encoder for integrating an encoder which is not coupled permanently to I/Os or hardware. Adding a free encoder In the device tree, select SoftMotion General Axis Pool . In th
Interrupting Single-Axis Movements Single-axis movements, such as MC_MoveAbsolute , can be interrupted at any time by other movements. This can be a movement to a different position or a change in max
Persisting an Axis Position An axis which has an absolute encoder can save a position so that it retains its previous position after restarting the controller. Homing is not required. The SMC3_Persist
Initial Position Detection of a Modulo Axis The actual position of a drive or encoder is transmitted as DWORD to the controller. For a modulo axis, the period P is defined in increments by the modulo
