2-74  Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0 
Description  NCK variable 
Status of the power enable (pulse enable) of a 
machine axis 
Predefined range of values: 
FALSE: no power enable 
TRUE: power enable exists 
$VA_DPE [machine axis]  
Activation 
The variable is predefined and can be used at any time acc. to the data type BOOL with 
FALSE or TRUE. While communication with the drive is not yet established, the value 0 
(FALSE) is supplied. 
The synchronized actions, in which the variable is evaluated, should preferably be carried 
out as soon as the control powers up, e.g. by starting an ASUB from the PLC. To make sure 
that the synchronized actions remain continuously active and are not affected by the mode 
change, we recommend that they are programmed as "static synchronized actions" (using 
IDS as the vocabulary word). 
Example 
Output of the pulse enable of machine axis X1 to the first digital NCK output in all modes 
IDS = 1 DO $A_OUT[1] = $VA_DPE[X1] 
Supplementary conditions 
The functional expansion is available for digital drives in all control variants providing 
synchronized actions. 
Control response with POWER ON, RESET, REPOS, etc. 
After POWER ON, the value 0 is supplied while communication with the drive is not yet 
established. Then, the system variable $VA_DPE always specifies the pulse enable value 
acquired at the beginning of the interpolation cycle. The modeindependent evaluation or 
retransmission should be carried out using static synchronized actions (vocabulary word 
IDS). 
2.5.6  Expansions for "deceleration axes" 
Application 
In the case of designconditioned nonlinearities and elasticities, as often occurs in material 
handling and highbay racking technology, it is often necessary to sacrifice the position 
control due to the unstable position control loop. The axes are, therefore, traversed closed-
loop controlled and not open-loop controlled. To this aim, the WF723 module offers the 
special function of the "deceleration axes".
