Chapter 6 Programming Motion

Overview

The DMC-13X8 provides several modes of motion, including independent positioning and jogging, coordinated motion, electronic cam motion, and electronic gearing. Each one of these modes is discussed in the following sections.

The DMC-1318 is a single axis controller and uses only X-axis motion. Likewise, the DMC-1328 uses X and Y, the DMC-1338 uses X, Y and Z and the DMC-1348 uses X, Y, Z and W.

The example applications described below will help guide you to the appropriate mode of motion.
