that it is assigned to. The destination may then use the captured data to accurately initiate motion (if it is a
Motor Encoder Marker – The rising edge of the motor encoder marker pulse will automatically capture data. This will allow the user to accurately initiate motion on the rising edge of the motor encoder marker pulse. The falling edge of the marker pulse does not capture data.
Master Encoder Marker – The rising edge of the master encoder marker pulse will automatically capture data. This allows the user to accurately initiate motion on the rising edge of the master encoder marker pulse. The falling edge of the marker pulse does not capture data.
Index/Jog Command Complete – Activation of the command complete signal at the end of indexes and jogs will automatically capture data. A subsequent index, jog, or dwell can then use the captured data to start itself extremely accurately at the end of the previous motion.
Index/Jog At Velocity – Activation of the command complete signal at the end of indexes and jogs will automatically capture data. A subsequent index, jog, or dwell can then use the captured data to start itself extremely accurately at the end of the previous motion.
PLS Status – A rising or a falling edge of a Global PLS will automatically capture data for use in initiating motion. In order to accurately initiate motion from a Global PLS, an assignment can be made from PLS.#.Status to the initiate destination.
Destinations that use captured data:
Index/Jog Initiates – When one of the sources listed above is assigned to an Index or Jog Initiate, the captured information is automatically applied to the index starting point. This offers extremely high accuracy for initiation of motion, which is beneficial especially in synchronized applications.
Index.#.SensorTrigger – The sensor trigger destination used in registration indexes can use captured data to accurately calculate the ending position of the index based on the Registration Offset parameter. The Offset distance is added to the captured position to get the accurate stopping position for the registration index.
