Preparing the simulation
To carry out the test, prepare the simulation as follows:
● Compile the project data and make sure that the compilation process was completed
without errors.
● Start the simulation and load the configuration into the CPU.
● Open the watch table "HMI-Monitor" and the kinematics trace.
Activate the function "Split editor space vertically" so that both items are displayed next to
each other.
Evaluating the path motion
You can save the recordings of the path motions as measurements and load and display
them in the trace. Trace offers you extended evaluation options to analyze path motions in
detail.
In addition, you can create a trace for the velocity and acceleration of the kinematics and the
axes:
● Path velocity ("StatusPath.Velocity")
● Acceleration ("StatusPath.Acceleration")
● Axis velocity ("ActualVelocity")
● Axis acceleration ("ActualAcceleration")
Signal waves from different measurements can be put together in the trace as an overlay
measurement and compared with each other. If you want to use this function, make sure that
the trigger is identical for the recordings that are to be combined.
