Motion status
Description
You use the "Technology object > Diagnostics > Motion status" diagnostic function in the TIA
Portal to monitor the motion status of the axis. The Diagnostics function is available in online
operation.
The following table shows the meaning of the status data:
Target position Current target position of an active positioning job
The target position value is only valid while a positioning job is busy.
(<TO>.StatusPositioning.TargetPosition)
Actual position Actual position of the axis
If the technology object is not homed, then the value is displayed relative to the position that
existed when the technology object was enabled.
Actual velocity Actual velocity of the axis
Velocity override Percentage correction of the velocity override
The velocity setpoint specified in motion control instructions or set by the axis control panel are
superimposed with an override signal and corrected as a percentage. Valid velocity correction
values range from 0.0 % to 200.0 %.
This area displays the limit values for the dynamic parameters.
The following table shows the meaning of the status data:
Velocity Configured maximum velocity
(<TO>.DynamicLimits.MaxVelocity)
Acceleration Configured maximum acceleration
(<TO>.DynamicLimits.MaxAcceleration)
Deceleration Configured maximum deceleration
(<TO>.DynamicLimits.MaxDeceleration)
