FM-3 Programming Module Reference Manual

Acceleration

Index.#.Accel

This parameter is the average Acceleration rate used during the index. Units are specified on the User Units view in the PowerTools Pro software.

Accelerating

Index.#.Accelerating

This source is active while an index is accelerating to its target velocity. Once the index reaches the target velocity, or begins to decelerate, the Index.#.Accelerating source will deactivate.

Analog

Index.#.AnalogLimitType

Select the analog parameter (i.e. Torque Command) to compare to the AnalogLimitValue. Satisfying the comparison triggers the index registration event.

Limit Value

Index.#.AnalogLimitValue

This preset value is compared to the selected AnalogLimitType to determine the registration point.

At Velocity

Index.#.AtVel

This source activates when the target index velocity is reached. If Feedrate override is changed or FeedHold is activated AtVelocity shall remain active. Index.#.AtVel will deactivate at the start of any deceleration or acceleration. During a synchronized index, this source could be active even without any motor motion if the master axis stops.

Command Complete

Index.#.CommandComplete

The Index.#.CommandComplete source will activate when the specific index completes its deceleration ramp. It will remain active until the specific index is initiated again. If the Stop destination is used during an Index, then the Index.#.CommandComplete will not activate.
