Inputs/Outputs
AxisGroup
Specify the
axis group.
DMC_AXIS_GROUP_REF* DMC_AXIS_GROUP_REF
When bExecute turns to True and
bBusy is False.
*Note:
DMC_AXIS_GROUP_REF (FB): All function blocks for an axis group contain this variable, which works as the starting program
for function blocks.
Function
The instruction supports the relative helical interpolation of maximum three axes, where the three axes can
simultaneously start, stop as well as reach the specified relative target position.
The instruction can be used to specify the circle drawing on the plane parallel to XY / YZ / ZX and set the
height of the helix on Z / X / Y axis.
If the start point and end point for circular interpolation are set to the same point, use the center point mode
(CircMode = Center) for the interpolation.
At least two axes are needed for circular interpolation. An error will occur if there is a travel distance for an
axis which is not set.
When the start point and end point for circular interpolation are set to the same point, the instruction will
perform the rotation for one complete circle.
The function of CoordSystem needs to be supported by DL_MotionControl library V1.1.0.0 or above.
CircPlane added ARBITRARY_plane in DL_MotionControl library V1.2.0.0 or later.
ARBITRARY_plane can draw ellipses in space.
Use the following parameters to draw the ellipse.
