DMC-41x3 Event Triggers
Command Function
AM X Y Z W or S
(A B C D E F G H)
Halts program execution until motion is complete on the
specified axes or motion sequence(s). AM with no parameter
tests for motion complete on all axes. This command is useful
for separating motion sequences in a program.
AD X or Y or Z or W
(A or B or C or D or E or F or G or H)
Halts program execution until position command has reached
the specified relative distance from the start of the move. Only
one axis may be specified at a time.
AR X or Y or Z or W
(A or B or C or D or E or F or G or H)
Halts program execution until after specified distance from the
last AR or AD command has elapsed. Only one axis may be
specified at a time.
AP X or Y or Z or W
(A or B or C or D or E or F or G or H)
Halts program execution until after absolute position occurs.
Only one axis may be specified at a time.
MF X or Y or Z or W
(A or B or C or D or E or F or G or H)
Halt program execution until after forward motion reached
absolute position. Only one axis may be specified. If position is
already past the point, then MF will trip immediately. Will
function on geared axis or aux. inputs.
MR X or Y or Z or W
(A or B or C or D or E or F or G or H)
Halt program execution until after reverse motion reached
absolute position. Only one axis may be specified. If position is
already past the point, then MR will trip immediately. Will
function on geared axis or aux. inputs.
MC X or Y or Z or W
(A or B or C or D or E or F or G or H)
Halt program execution until after the motion profile has been
completed and the encoder has entered or passed the specified
position. TW x,y,z,w sets timeout to declare an error if not in
position. If timeout occurs, then the trippoint will clear and the
stop code will be set to 99. An application program will jump to
label #MCTIME.
AI ±n Halts program execution until after specified input is at
specified logic level. n specifies input line. Positive is high logic
level, negative is low level. n=1 through 8 for DMC-4113, 4123,
4133, 4143. n=1 through 16 for DMC-4153, 4163, 4173, 4183
Also n= 17-48
AS X Y Z W S
(A B C D E F G H)
Halts program execution until specified axis has reached its slew
speed.
AT ±n,m For m=omitted or 0, halts program execution until n msec from
reference time. AT 0 sets reference. AT n waits n msec from
reference. AT -n waits n msec from reference and sets new
reference after elapsed time.
For m=1. Same functionality except that n is number of samples
rather than msec
AV n Halts program execution until specified distance along a
coordinated path has occurred.
WT n,m For m=omitted or 0, halts program execution until specified
time in msec has elapsed.
For m=1. Same functionality except that n is number of samples
rather than msec.
Event Trigger Examples:
Event Trigger - Multiple Move Sequence
The AM trippoint is used to separate the two PR moves. If AM is not used, the controller returns a ? for the second
PR command because a new PR cannot be given until motion is complete.
