5.13.1 "Linear Out" curve
User Manual V1.01
The first step consists in defining the linear movement outwards. For this purpose we
open the Curve Inspector (by clicking on "Curve" in the Commander). With the "Create
Curve" button
we create a new curve that is displayed in the Curve Editor. The
window should appear as follows:
Figure 5-22: New curve in the Curve Editor
Now we must define our curve: first we shall select the type of curve generation. Under
"Wizard Type" we select "Ramp" instead of the actually selected "Manual". The display
changes and now includes the two fields "Start Point" and "End Point".
We now make sure that "LinMot Pxx-23" is selected as "Drive Type". If you wish to
realize this example with a Pxx-37 choose "LinMot Pxx-37" as "Drive Type". In the
following this alternative will only be shown between parenthesis.
We change the name to "Linear Out". At this point the actual movement sequence is
defined. We want to create a curve that executes a linear movement from 5 mm to 50
mm in one second. For this purpose we enter 1000 [ms] in the "Time" field. If the unit is
set to [Hz] it can be switched to [ms] with the "Frequency" button. After being entered,
the value will be displayed as 1008 ms, as it is not possible for the electronic unit to
meet the 1000 ms requirement exactly with just two points. In our case this causes no
big problem. If this fact should cause a problem in a future application, you should
increase the number of points.
