Slave object settings In the motion system, the data that sends/receives information to/from the connected device in the motion operation processing is called a slave object. With slave object settings, the motion system can be customized to adjust to the slave device by setting the data related to the slave device to the slave object.
If unavailable data is set, the error "Mapping Communication Error" (error code: 1A5F) will occur at the axis variable initialization. There are slave objects whose settings are necessary depending on the axis type. A valid setting value other than "no setting" must be set to the applicable slave object.
Slave object list The following shows attributes of slave objects. Attribute Description Data Type Indicates slave object size. Access Indicates whether the object can be read/written or not. • RO: Only read is available. • RW: Read and write are available.

Axes group variables Axes group variables are generated by adding the axes group setting in the engineering tool. A generated axes group is assigned to the global label or the local label as an axes group variable. Axes group is defined as an axes group variable configured with monitor information such as parameter information, the current position, and the status.
Enabling axes group When an axes group is used in a motion FB, the axes group status (AxesGroupName.Md.GroupStatus) must be "4: GroupStandby" by executing MC_GroupEnable to the axes group. The axes group can be started in the motion FB when the axes group status (AxesGroupName.Md.GroupStatus) is "4: GroupStandby" and the axis status (AxisName.Md.AxisStatus) of all configuration axes is "4: Standstill".
Axes group enabled This section describes enabling an axes group.

START AND STOP Start This section describes how to start an axis of the motion system. In the motion system, motion control can be executed by executing motion control function blocks with programs of the control CPU module, such as the PLC CPU and the C language CPU, or the motion system built-in program language such as ST language.
Starting conditions To start the control, the following conditions must be satisfied. The necessary conditions must be incorporated in the program so that the axis is not started when the conditions are not satisfied. Starting conditions of the axis are mainly controlled by the state transition and the signal state of the axis and axes group. Starting conditions for motion function blocks of the axis ■State transition Name...
Retrigger/Continuous Update The following methods can be used to change the control of the on-going FB. • Retrigger (Inputting Execute again) • Continuous update (ContinuousUpdate) With a retrigger/continuous update of the FB, input variables can be imported again to the FB instance in execution without interrupting operation.
Multiple Start (Buffer Mode) MCFBs can be executed continuously without stopping by executing the motion FB of another instance to the axis and the axes group that are executing the motion control FB. • To execute the MCFB with the axis and the axes group stop status ("4: Standstill" or "4: GroupStandby") is called "start".
Page 110
• Up to two motion FBs can be buffered after multiple start in one axis and an axes group. If multiple start is executed when two FBs have already been multiple started, the error "Warning Starting over Number of Buffering FBs" (warning code: 0D22H) occurs and waits the analysis of the multiple start FB in order until on-going FB is completed.
Command omission at multiple start When omitting the specified speed, the acceleration specification, and the deceleration specification in an FB that executes multiple start, specified speed of "the previous FB of buffering FB" at multiple start is taken over. If the specified speed input does not exist in "the previous FB of buffering FB", buffering is executed with speed 0.0.

Positioning speed in multiple axes positioning control Positioning speed at multiple axes positioning control can be set in the Velocity input of the motion control FB. In the multiple axes positioning control, a control target is controlled at the specified positioning speed. Linear interpolation control To specify the positioning speed for the linear interpolation control, the following three methods can be used.
Page 213
■Long axis speed specification 1: LongAxisSpeed The control is carried out based on the positioning speed (the long axis speed: V) of the axis whose movement amount is the largest in the addresses set in each axis. The positioning speed of the other axes is calculated by the motion system from the movement amount (D1 to D4) of each axis.
Page 214
• For the long axis speed specification, set speed limit value is valid for the Velocity input which is as the long axis speed. For details, refer to the following. Page 318 Speed Limit • Note that the vector speed when specifying the long axis speed may be larger than the speed limit value. (Ex.) When setting a value like the following in the 2-axis linear interpolation, the vector speed exceeds the speed limit value.
Page 215
■Reference axis speed specification 2: ReferenceAxisSpeed The motion system calculates the positioning speed (V1 to V3) of other axes based on the positioning speed of the set reference axis (the reference axis speed: V), and carries out the control. In MCFB, the top array of the LinearAxes input indicates the reference axis. Also, set the Position input or the Distance input as the movement amount of each axis and set the Velocity input as the single axis speed.

Command In-position The command in-position function checks the remaining distance to the target position, and turns the flag to TRUE. This flag is called the "command in-position flag". The command in-position flag is used as a front-loading signal indicating beforehand the completion of the control. The command in-position function is valid to all control that requires commanded address specification.
Command in-position width check (Remaining distance) (AxisName.Md.CmdInPos_Width) AxisName.Md.CmdInPos TRUE TRUE FALSE Speed 1000 AxisName.Md.CmdInPos_Width Time A command in-position width check is carried out every operation cycle. However, while the axis stops, AxisName.Md.CmdInPos is not refreshed. When AxisName.Md.CmdInPos_Width is 0.0, a command in-position width check is not carried out. For an axes group, the remaining distance on the composite axis (line/arc) is checked based on AxesGroupName.Md.CmdInPos_Width.

Acceleration/deceleration waveform adjustment when specifying jerk When the jerk acceleration/deceleration (J 0.0) is specified, the acceleration waveform and the deceleration waveform are adjusted whether the values of the target velocity (V), the target acceleration (A), the target deceleration (Dec), and the jerk (J) satisfy the following condition or not.
Page 309
When the condition is not satisfied When accelerating to the target acceleration, the velocity exceeds the target velocity during acceleration. Therefore, the acceleration is adjusted to reach the target velocity at the end of acceleration. (The velocity does not reach the specified target acceleration (deceleration).) When the acceleration is adjusted, there is no maximum acceleration section, and the acceleration waveform becomes a triangle.
Operation when specifying acceleration/deceleration 0 When "0.0" is specified for the acceleration/deceleration, the operation differs at startup and the rest. When "1: mcFixedTime" is selected in the "acceleration/deceleration method setting" (Options bit 0 to 2) of the FB, the operation is the operation when "0.0" is specified for the acceleration/deceleration time.

Acceleration limit value/deceleration limit value When "0: mcAccDec" is selected in the "acceleration/deceleration method setting" (Options bit 0 to 2) of the FB, the acceleration and the deceleration are limited by the acceleration limit value and the deceleration limit value. When "1: mcFixedTime"...
Limit of acceleration time/deceleration time The acceleration time and the deceleration time are limited by 8400 [s]. When "0: mcAccDec" is selected in the "acceleration/deceleration method setting" (Options bit 0 to 2) of the FB, the acceleration time and the deceleration time calculated from the acceleration and the deceleration are limited. For a method of calculating the acceleration time and the deceleration time, refer to the following.
Automatic deceleration Decelerating to a speed of "0.0" to stop at the specified target position is called automatic deceleration. During automatic deceleration, AxisName.Md.AutoDeceleration is TRUE. When automatic deceleration is performed, the deceleration may go ahead or behind the target deceleration. Therefore, AxisName.Md.SetAcceleration may exceed AxisName.Md.TargetDeceleration.
Changing control of jerk acceleration/deceleration Acceleration/deceleration operation at changing control immediately changes the acceleration and the deceleration for the trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration (J = 0.0). For the jerk acceleration/deceleration (J 0.0), when a control change is carried out during acceleration or deceleration, acceleration/deceleration will be performed taking over the previous acceleration (deceleration).

■Acceleration change The acceleration change pattern can be classified based on the operation status when acceleration change is performed. [When executing acceleration change in the acceleration section 1.] Acceleration is increased or decreased to the target acceleration after change by using jerk, and taking over the speed and the acceleration immediately before the acceleration change.
Page 318
[When executing acceleration change in the acceleration section 2 or during fixed-speed, deceleration, and automatic deceleration] When acceleration change is executed in the acceleration section 2, the acceleration change is accepted, however acceleration operation during execution does not change. When re-acceleration is performed by velocity change etc, the axis accelerates with the acceleration after change.

Speed Limit The "speed limit function" limits the set velocity to a value within the speed limit value setting range when the set velocity during control exceeds the speed limit value. By limiting the set velocity within the preset speed limit value setting range, even if an incorrect command or unexpected operation occurs, damage to the machine can be prevented.
Operation when the speed limit value is exceeded The operation when specifying the speed exceeding the speed limit value differs depending on whether it is single axis control or interpolation control. For single axis operation • At start If the set velocity at start exceeds the speed limit value (AxisName.Pr.VelocityLimit_Positive for the positive direction and AxisName.Pr.VelocityLimit_Negative for the negative direction) of each axis, the error "Speed Limit Value Over"...

Precautions • Values less than one which could not be output during machine movement are managed in the motion system, and the cumulated values will be output when the value reaches one pulse or more. • When machine homing is completed, the function clears to "0" the cumulative values of less than one pulse which could not be output.
11.2 Command Filter Command filter can perform specified filter processing to inputs of the master axis, and output the result to the slave axis. For example, when setting a virtual drive axis to the master axis and a real drive axis to the slave axis, the result of filter processing to input of the virtual drive axis can be output to the real drive axis.
