Chapter 6 Programming Motion

Overview

The DMC-2x00 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-2x10 is a single axis controller and uses A-axis motion only. Likewise, the DMC-2x20 uses A and B, the DMC-2x30 uses A,B and C, and the DMC-2x40 uses A,B,C and D. The DMC-2x50 uses A,B,C,D, and E. The DMC-2x60 uses A,B,C,D,E, and F. The DMC-2x70 uses A,B,C,D,E,F and G.

The DMC-2x80 uses the axes A,B,C,D,E,F,G, and H.

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