V3 to CODESYS Control RTE V3 without
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
Standard Use Cases The SM3_Basic library contains superordinate function blocks which do not interact with the drive over the standard set/actual value interface. These function blocks provide command
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
