Chapter 6 Programming Motion

Overview

The DMC-1600 provides several modes of motion, including independent positioning and
jogging, coordinated motion, electronic cam motion, and electronic gearing. Each one of these
modes is discussed in the following sections.
The DMC-1610 is a single axis controller and uses X-axis motion only. Likewise, the DMC-1620
uses X and Y, the DMC-1630 uses X,Y and Z, and the DMC-1640 uses X,Y,Z and W. The
DMC-1650 uses A,B,C,D, and E. The DMC-1660 uses A,B,C,D,E, and F. The DMC-1670 uses
A,B,C,D,E,F and G. The DMC-1680 uses the axes A,B,C,D,E,F,G, and H.
The example applications described below will help guide you to the appropriate mode of motion.
EXAMPLE APPLICATION
Absolute or relative positioning where each axis is
independent and follows prescribed velocity profile.
Velocity control where no final endpoint is prescribed.
Motion stops on Stop command.
Motion Path described as incremental position points versus
time.
2,3 or 4 axis coordinated motion where path is described by
linear segments.
2-D motion path consisting of arc segments and linear
segments, such as engraving or quilting.
