Example: Moving an axis back and forth
When macros are recorded on the Controller macros tab in PIMikroMove, the MAC BEG and
MAC END commands must be left out.
The axis 1 is to move back and forth. For this purpose, 3 macros are recorded. Macro 1 starts
motion in a positive direction and waits until the axis has reached the target position. Macro 2
does this task for the negative direction of motion. Macro 3 calls up macro 1 and 2.
➢ Record the macros by sending:
MAC BEG macro1
MVR 1 12.5
WAC ONT? 1 = 1
MAC END
MAC BEG macro2
MVR 1 -12.5
