Alternatively, the PLC user program can also request the check for the PLC prior to calling 
FC "POS_AX".  
By calling this function several times in succession, a better response reaction by the axes 
can be obtained as the changeover process in the FC can be omitted. 
Activation through the PLC user program is executed in the corresponding axis interface in 
byte 8. 
After return of the check, the axis can again be programmed by the NC program. 
 
 
Note 
Rotary axes can be positioned by the shortest possible route through the programming of a 
negative feed value in absolute programming mode. In incremental mode (parameter "IC" := 
TRUE), the traversing direction can be defined by means of the parameter "Pos" sign:  
Positive sign indicates travel in a positive direction  
Negative sign indicates travel in a negative direction 
After the FC has been called, ACCU1 contains an error statement by the NCK (but not if the 
output parameters are assigned to a data block). This is generally the value 0 (signifies: No 
error has occurred). The interpretation of other numerical values is shown in the following 
table. 
FC 15 must be called cyclically until the "Active" signal produces an edge transition from 1 to 
0. Only when the "Active" signal has a 0 state can the axis concerned be restarted (the next 
start must be delayed by at least one PLC cycle). This also applies when the assignment in 
data byte 8 has changed.  
The function cannot be aborted by means of parameter "Start", but only by means of the 
axial interface signals (e.g., delete distancetogo). The axial interface also returns status 
signals of the axis that may need to be evaluated (e.g., exact stop, traverse command). 
 
 
 
Warning 
If several block calls (FC 15, FC 16, FC 18) are programmed for the same axis/spindle in the 
PLC user program, then the functions concerned must be interlocked by conditional calls in 
the user program.  
The conditional call of a started block (parameter Start or Stop = TRUE) must be called 
cyclically until the signal state of output parameter Active or InPos changes from 1 to 0.
