Command
set_fly_z
Function Activates Processing-on-the-fly correction for compensation of a linear workpiece-
movement in the z direction (based on position values transferred to the RTC6 by the
specified encoder counter) and sets the corresponding scaling factor.
Restriction If the Option Processing-on-the-fly is not enabled, then set_fly_z terminates the
Processing-on-the-fly process (even though it could not have been activated).
Call set_fly_z( ScaleZ, EncoderNo )
Parameters ScaleZ Scaling factor for the z direction.
In bits/count.
As a 64-bit IEEE floating point value.
Allowed value range: 1/256  | ScaleZ |  16,000.0.
EncoderNo Number of the to-be-used encoder counter.
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Allowed values:
= 0: Encoder counter “Encoder0”.
= 1: Encoder counter “Encoder1”.
Comments • ScaleZ can be negative depending on the motion direction of the workpiece. The
restricted value range applies only to the absolute value.
• For Processing-on-the-fly correction and determination of the scaling factor, see
Chapter 8.6 ”Processing-on-the-fly”, page 242.
• If unallowed ScaleZ parameter values are supplied (for example, for ScaleZ = 0), then
set_fly_z does not activate a Processing-on-the-fly correction or deactivates a
Processing-on-the-fly correction previously activated by set_fly_z (but does not
deactivate any other Processing-on-the-fly correction). The latter case leads to a jump
(at jump speed) to the endpoint of the most recently executed Vector Command or
“Arc” Command (without “set_fly_z” Processing-on-the-fly correction).
• For deactivating Processing-on-the-fly correction, see Section ”Notes on Usage”,
page 258.
• By set_control_mode( Bit #9 ), it can be set in advance when the encoder counter
“Encoder0” or “Encoder1” is reset by set_fly_z.
• If EncoderNo > 1, set_fly_z is replaced by a list_nop (get_last_error return code
RTC6_PARAM_ERROR ).
RTC4RTC6 New command.
In RTC4 Compatibility Mode, the RTC6 multiplies the specified value for ScaleZ by 16.
The allowed value range decreases accordingly.
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
Version info Available as of DLL 600, OUT 600, RBF 600.
