Motion Block
Description
Set Motor is used to turn motor positioning control on and off for an individual axis or all of the axes in the related group. Called with a parameter value of true enables the amplifier lines. The motor establishes the current Actual Position as the commanded, or desired, position so as to remain still. When called with a parameter value of false the amplifier lines are disabled, the motor command is set to 0 volts (if configured for servo) and no further motor activity occurs. Readability of the program is improved by using the predefined boolean constants On and Off. Set Motor is an alias for the Set Servo routine, (retained for backward comaptibility) to acknowledge both stepper and servo motor capability.
Escapes
