8.6.12 “Fly Extension” Commands
• In order to be able to use the
Processing-on-the-fly functionality flexibly and
generically, the “Fly Extension” Commands are
available in RTC6 Software Package  V1.6.1
(DLL 617, OUT 617, RBF 623), see Table 2.
• The Processing-on-the-fly functionality
(1)
itself
remains unchanged. Only its control has been
made more flexible.
• “Fly Extension” Commands are a flexible system
of Processing-on-the-fly applications.
– Most of them affect:
• only 1, only 2 or all 3 spatial axes
• alternatively 1 Rotary axis
– At the same time the following can be freely
assigned (Table 4)
• Encoder counter “Encoder0” or “Encoder1”
• and/or an McBSP input on each of theses
axes, even mixed
• Important: “Fly Extension” Commands are in no
case compatible with the “Classic”
Processing-on-the-fly commands
(2)
.
• A Processing-on-the-fly application with “Classic”
Processing-on-the-fly commands
(2)
must have
been explicitly been terminated, before the
functionality of one of the
“Fly Extension” Commands can be activated, and
vice versa.
• With “Fly Extension” Commands, axes are
specified according to Table 3.
• With the “Fly Extension” Commands, linear axes
1 , 2 and 3 cannot be combined simultaneously
with a Rotary axis ( 4 ).
• “Fly Extension” Commands support 1, 2 or 3
Axes, see Table 2.
