7. Output Control during Path Movement
Description
In spray operation, etc., output control may be required while the actuator is moving. The XSEL controller can
output signals while the actuator is moving with a PATH command.
How to Use
Before executing a PATH command, declare a POTP command to specify signal output during movement.
If a given output or global flag is specified in the output field of the PATH command, the output or flag specified
in the output field will turn ON as the actuator approaches, via path movement, the position specified in the
PATH command.
Example of Use 1
The actuator moves from P1 to P5 along the positions shown at right,
without stopping. As the actuator approaches P2, output port 310
turns ON.
A declaration command to specify signal output during path
movement.
310 turns ON when the actuator approaches P2 specified in this
step.
Outputs and flags can only be turned ON. The output or flag that was turned ON during path operation must be
turned OFF (using a BTOF command) after the operation is completed.
Example of Use 2
Outputs 310 to 313 can be turned ON sequentially at the respective points of P2 to P5.
A declaration command to specify signal output during path
movement.
310 to 313 turn ON sequentially at P2 to P5 specified in this step.
