Parameter Descriptions
Define Home DefineHome
This destination is used to set the Commanded Position to the value specified in the
DefineHomePosn variable. On the rising edge of this input function the absolute position is
set equal to the DefineHomePosn and the AbsolutePosnValid output function (source) is
activated.
Define Home Position DefineHomePosn
The DefineHome parameter is used to set the motors absolute position to the value stored in
the DefineHomePosn variable. On the rising edge of the DefineHome function the
Commanded Position is set equal to the DefineHomePosn and the AbsolutePosnValid source
is activated.
Distance Characteristic Distance DistUnits.CharacteristicDist
This parameter is the distance the load travels (in user units) when the motor travels the
characteristic length (in motor revolutions). This parameter is used along with the
DistUnits.CharacteristicLength to establish the relationship between user distance and actual
motor travel distance. See the section on the User Units View in the Setting Up Parameters
chapter.
Distance Characteristic Length DistUnits.CharacteristicLength
This parameter is the distance the motor travels (in whole number of revolutions) to achieve
one characteristic distance of load travel. This parameter is used along with the
DistUnits.CharacteristicDist to establish the relationship between user distance and motor
travel distance. See the section on the User Units View in the Setting Up Parameters chapter.
Distance Decimal Places DistUnits.Decimal
This parameter is used to select the number of decimal places used in the
DistUnits.CharacteristicDist. Using a high number of decimal places will improve
positioning resolution, but will also limit the maximum travel distance. The number of
decimal places set in this parameter determines the number of decimal places used in all
distance parameters throughout the software. You can select from zero to six decimal places
of accuracy.
Distance Name DistUnits.Name
This is a text variable which is used as the label for the distance/position user units. It can be
up to 12 characters in length.
