U511 User’s Manual Programming Commands
Version 1.1 Aerotech, Inc. 5-79
5.5.70. SEGMENT
The UNIDEX 511 divides each motion into "segments" then cubic splines those segments
into 1/4 millisecond velocity commands to the servo loop. The larger the segment size,
the fewer number of steps are required for internal calculation.
The segment_time established for the designated contour plane is used for INDEX, and/or
CONTOUR motion calculation. The default segment_time is 10 ms. The value
established through this command is used to optimize an application that requires
consecutive short distance motion from block to block.
SYNTAX:
SEGMENT segment_time
SE segment_time
segment_time Time in milliseconds, 1 to 20 ms range.
This command overrides but does not change the value of general parameters 018,
036, 054, or 072 (“Segment time”).
EXAMPLES:
SE 10 ;Sets segment_time to 10 ms
SE V10 ;Sets segment_time to the value contained in variable 10
