Independent Axis Positioning - Galil Motion Control DMC-14 5 Series Manual

Third axis must remain tangent to 2-D motion path,
such as knife cutting.
Electronic gearing where slave axes are scaled to
master axis which can move in both directions.
Master/slave where slave axes must follow a
master such as conveyer speed.
Moving along arbitrary profiles or mathematically
prescribed profiles such as sine or cosine
trajectories.

Independent Axis Positioning

In this mode, motion between the specified axes is independent, and each axis follows its own profile.
The user specifies the desired absolute position (PA) or relative position (PR), slew speed (SP),
acceleration ramp (AC), and deceleration ramp (DC), for each axis. On begin (BG), the DMC-14XX
profiler generates the corresponding trapezoidal or triangular velocity profile and position trajectory.
The controller determines a new command position along the trajectory every sample period until the
specified profile is complete. Motion is complete when the last position command is sent by the
DMC-14XX profiler. Note: The actual motor motion may not be complete when the profile has been
completed, however, the next motion command may be specified.
