2 Features of the technology application
With the "Position Sequencer" technology application, the drive can execute parameterisable travel
profiles. The program flow is defined on the basis of a sequence table.
2.1 Functional overview
• Sequence control for several successive positioning steps with pause and abort functions and
different auxiliary functions (e.g. branching, counting, waiting)
• Positioning in different positioning modes
• Point-to-point positioning
• Touch probe positioning (residual path positioning)
• Profile linkage with velocity changeover (overchange)
• Homing (homing/reference setting)
• For a homing process, different modes are provided.
• Profile data management
• Support of S-profiles (jerk limitation)
• Separate setting for acceleration and deceleration
• Use of the state machine of the Motion Control Kernel (MCK) and the following basic drive
functions:
•Homing
•Manual jog
• Positioning
• Holding brake control
• Limit position monitoring (hardware limit switches and software limit positions)
• Following error monitoring system
• Control/status signals optionally via digital terminals and fieldbus interface (MCI)
Tip!
By means of the "Position Sequencer" technology application, the 8400 TopLine can also be
used as master for slave drives with the "Electrical Shaft Slave" or "Position Follower"
technology application.
