Positioning via motion blocks enables movement by a certain distance or to a target
position. For each motion block, a separate motion profile can be set, including
speed, acceleration and deceleration ramp. When motion blocks are processed au-
tomatically, the drive will react according to the parameterized behavior when it
reaches the target position.
Scope of functions
− Positioning of linear and round axes
− Optimized round axes positioning (shortest way)
− Absolute and relative positioning
− Touch probe positioning for evaluation of sensors, e.g. motion as from this point
− Specification of values and parameter configuration can be done via user-defined
− 32 motion blocks for different target positions and motion profiles
− Automatic motion block sequence, event or time controlled
− Repetition of motion blocks
− Teach-in function for taking over the actual position value as the target position
− JOG mode for manual operation via digital inputs
− Combination of positioning with electronic gear
− Different homing modes for determining the reference point for positioning
− Control via digital inputs or communication module
− Monitoring: Position monitoring via target window, contouring error monitoring,
− Parameter configuration via commissioning and diagnosis software VPlus
