Type Statement
Description
CAMVM.GOVEL (Go at Velocity) causes the virtual master to move con-

or negative) specified by CAMVM.DIR. The frequency or direction is modified
during the move using CAMVM.GOUPDATE.

Description
CAMVM.GOVEL (Go at Velocity) causes the virtual master to move continuously at the
frequency specified by CAMVM.FREQ in the direction (positive or negative) specified by
CAMVM.DIR. The frequency or direction is modified during the move using CAMVM.GOU-
PDATE.
When the move is initiated, program execution continues with the line immediately following
CAMVM.GOVEL. Program execution does not wait until the move is complete.
CAMVM.STOP stops a velocity move on the virtual encoder. Executing CAMVM.GOREL after
CAMVM.GOVEL and before CAMVM.STOP causes the virtual encoder to switch to an incre-
mental move that terminates when CAMVM.RELATIVEDIST encoder counts have been put
out. The drive does not need to be enabled to use the virtual master.
Example
This runs the virtual encoder forward at 20,000 counts/sec
CAMVM.FREQ = 20000
CAMVM.DIR = 0
