Motion Task
Application
Examples
Two examples of motion task applications are as follows:
l If the application under consideration requires configuration and storage of 50
separate motion tasks in the drive, then 6 discrete inputs to the drive must be
reserved to uniquely address each task with a 7th discrete input of the drive
dedicated to the "Start next motion task" bit and a discrete output of the drive
dedicated to the "In position" bit.
l If the application under consideration requires only 4 separate motion tasks in
the drive, then only 2 discrete inputs to the drive need be reserved to uniquely
address the stored motion tasks along with the dedicated "In position" and
"Start next motion task" bits.
Note: A complete description of the operation of the drive’s internal positioner and
stored motion tasks can be found in the Unilink online help.
