Figure 79: Output Lines View

A name can also be given to each hardware output line. Double click the Output line name field to enter a name for that individual output line.

Name – This 12-character string allows a descriptive name assignment to an output line. This makes the configuration easier to follow.

Step 4: Setting Up Motion Parameters

Now that all of the assignments have been made, you next setup the jog, home, and index definitions. To do this, it is necessary to expand the Motion group in the hierarchy window.

Jog Setup

The Jog views allow you to setup any jogs required by your application. Select either the Jog0 or Jog1 to enter the specific Jog parameters. Figure 80 shows Jog1 setup view (renamed Jog Fast). Once in the individual jog views, the up and down arrows next to the Jog Number parameter can be used to scroll between the jog views (see Figure 80). The following jog parameters have been defined on this view:

Jog Name - Jog0 has been named Jog Slow and Jog1 named Jog Fast. This is a 12-character string that allows you to give a descriptive name to a jog profile.

Jog Velocity – Is the target velocity for the Jog profile. If the Jog.Select0 destination is inactive, the Jog0 velocity is the target velocity, if Jog.Select0 is active, then Jog1 velocity is used.

Jog Acceleration – Is the average acceleration rate used when accelerating to the target velocity.
