Motion Event Instructions
Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM002H-EN-P-February 2018 239
To successfully execute a MAW instruction, the targeted axis must be configured
as either a Servo or Feedback Only axis. Otherwise, the instruction errs.
Important:
The instruction execution may take multiple scans to execute because it requires
multiple coarse updates to complete the request. The Done (.DN) bit is not set
immediately, but only after the request is completed.
In this transitional instruction, the relay ladder, toggle the Rung-condition-in
from cleared to set each time the instruction should execute.

Condition/State Action Taken
Prescan The .EN, .DN, .ER, and .IP bits are cleared to false.
Rung-condition-in is false The .EN bit is cleared to false if the .DN or .ER bit is set to true. Otherwise,
the .EN bit is not affected.
The .DN,.ER ,.IP and .PC bits are not affected.
Rung-condition-in is true The .EN bit is set to true and the instruction executes.
