Parameter Descriptions

Command In Progress

Index.#.CommandInProgress

The Index.#.CommandInProgress source is active throughout an entire index profile. The source activates at the beginning of the index acceleration ramp, and deactivates at the end of the index deceleration ramp.

Compound Initiate

Index.#.CompoundInitiate

When activated will initiate the specified Index to compound into the next index in the program. Only allowed in a program.

Deceleration

Index.#.Decel

This parameter is the Average Deceleration rate used during the index. Units are specified on the User Units page.

Decelerating

Index.#.Decelerating

This source is active while an index is decelerating from its target velocity. Once the index reaches zero velocity, or its next target velocity, the Index.#.Decelerating source will deactivate.

Distance

Index.#.Dist

This parameter is the Incremental distance that the index will travel or the absolute position for the specified index in user units. If an index type of Registration is selected, then this is a limit distance, or the maximum distance the index will travel if a registration sensor is not seen.

Index Time

Index#.IndexTime

This parameter is used in conjunction with the Index.TimeIndexEnable parameter. If TimeIndexEnable is activated, then this is the time in which an index should complete its programmed distance. The units for this parameter depend on the current setting of the TimeBase parameter for the specific index. If TimeBase is set to "Realtime" (default), then the units are Seconds. The user can program the index time with resolution on 0.001 Seconds (or milliseconds). If TimeBase is set to "Synchronized", the units defined by the Master Distance Units found on the Master Setup screen.
