Command
<axis> MVT <value>
Description
Move To performs a relative coordinated move by the specified position parameters. The motion is performed with a trapezoidal velocity profile based on parameters set with the Set Accel, Set Decel, and Set Speed commands. Move To can be used on an axis that is already in motion, replacing the previous target position with the new absolute position. Move To is a blocking command and does not return until the motion has been completed. Blocking program execution until the end of the move is helpful for synchronizing following events. If program execution is required during the move, a non-blocking command such as Begin Move To should be used instead. The Stop, Begin Stop, and Abort commands will end the motion before it reaches the target position.
Escapes
A single axis can be directed to a new destination while in motion as long as the destination is still ahead of the motion and obtainable with the current decel setting. If not a Motion Overrun Escape Code will occur.
If the destination of the move is beyond the positive and negative software limits the Move To will produce a Position Limit Escape Code.
Examples
This example turns on the motor, performs an absolute move, and confirms that the motor is at that position
