Trio BASIC Commands 8-15
Motion and Axis Commands
BASE
Type:
Motion Command
Syntax:
BASE(axis no<,second axis><,third axis>...)
Description:
The
BASE
command is used to direct subsequent motion commands and axis param-
eter read/writes to a particular axis, or group of axes. The default setting is a
sequence: zero, one, two...
Each process has its own BASE group of axes and each program can set values
independently.
The Trio BASIC program is separate from the MOTION GENERATOR program which
controls motion in the axes. The motion generator has separate functions for each
axis, so each axis is capable of being programmed with its own speed, acceleration,
etc. and moving independently and simultaneously OR they can be linked together
by interpolation or linked moves.
The
AXIS()
command also redirects commands to different axes but applies to just
the single command it precedes, and to a single axis. The
BASE()
command redi-
rects all subsequent commands unless they are specified with
AXIS
.
Parameters:
Example 1:
BASE(1)
UNITS=2000' unit conversion factor
SPEED=100'Set speed axis 1
ACCEL=5000'acceleration rate
BASE(2)
UNITS=2000'unit conversion factor
SPEED=125'Set speed axis 2
ACCEL=10000'acceleration rate
axis numbers:
The number of the axis or axes to become the new base axis
array, i.e. the axis/axes to send the motion commands to or
the first axis in a multi axis command.
