MC_MoveDirectAbsolute (FB)¶

FUNCTION_BLOCK FINAL MC_MoveDirectAbsolute

This function block commands a movement of an axis group to the specified absolute position in the specified coordinate system.

Each axis is moved to its target position independently, the movement is only synchronized such that all axes reach the target at the same time. This means that the path travelled by the TCP depends on the kinematic transformation used. In general, it will not be a line. (This is called a point to point or PTP movement.)

Bemerkung

The path travelled by the TCP results indirectly from the movement of the axes and the kinematic transformation. It is not easy to predict the path based on the start- and end-position of the movement. However, once a PTP movement has been taught-in, the path is not modified by changing the override, interrupting, halting, or stopping. In more detail:

The path is independent of the override.
The path is independent of the limits of the axes (limits for velocity, acceleration, deceleration, and jerk). The only exception is for determining the cutoff points in TMStartVelocity mode.
In TMCornerDistance mode, the path is independent of the blending type (BlendingHigh/Low/Previous/Next).
The path is not left on halt or stop (MC_GroupHalt/MC_GroupStop).
The path is not left on interrupt or continue (MC_GroupInterrupt/MC_GroupContinue).
The acceleration, constant velocity, and deceleration phase for all axes begins and ends at the same time.

Bemerkung

The velocity/acc-/deceleration/jerk limits of each axis are properties of each axis and not specified within this function block. See also inputs VelFactor, AccFactor and JerkFactor.
The transition mode TMCornerDistance is only supported if the start- and end-position of the movement are given in the ACS. Otherwise, an error is reported.
