Axis Parameters
CLOSE_WIN
Type:
Axis Parameter
Alternate Format:
CW
Description:
By writing to this parameter the end of the window in which a registration mark is
expected can be defined. The value is in user units.
Example:
CLOSE_WIN=10.5
CLUTCH_RATE
Type:
Axis Parameter
Description:
This affects operation of
CONNECT
by changing the connection ratio at the specified
rate/second.
Default
CLUTCH_RATE
is set very high to ensure compatibility with earlier versions.
Example:
CLUTCH_RATE=5
CREEP
Type:
Axis Parameter
Description:
Sets the creep speed on the current base axis. The creep speed is used for the slow
part of a DATUM sequence. The creep speed must always be a positive value. When
given a
DATUM
move the axis will move at the programmed
SPEED
until the datum
input
DATUM_IN
goes low. The axis will then ramp the speed down and start a move
in the reversed direction at the
CREEP
speed until the datum input goes high.
The creep speed is entered in units/sec programmed using the unit conversion fac-
tor. For example, if the unit conversion factor is set to the number of encoder
edges/inch the speed is programmed in INCHES/SEC.
Example:
BASE(2)
CREEP=10
SPEED=500
DATUM(4)
