Example- Set Output after Distance

Instruction	Interpretation
#TWOMOVE	Label
PR 2000	Position Command
BGA	Begin Motion
AMA	Wait for Motion Complete
PR 4000	Next Position Move
BGA	Begin 2nd move
EN	End program

Set output bit 1 after a distance of 1000 counts from the start of the move. The accuracy of the trippoint is the speed multiplied by the sample period.

Instruction	Interpretation
#SETBIT	Label
SP 10000	Speed is 10000
PA 20000	Specify Absolute position
BGA	Begin motion
AD 1000	Wait until 1000 counts
SB1	Set output bit 1
EN	End program

Example- Repetitive Position Trigger

To set the output bit every 10000 counts during a move, the AR trippoint is used as shown in the next example.

Instruction	Interpretation
#TRIP	Label
JG 50000	Specify Jog Speed
BGA;n=0	Begin Motion
#REPEAT	# Repeat Loop
AR 10000	Wait 10000 counts
TPA	Tell Position
SB1	Set output 1
WT50	Wait 50 msec
CB1	Clear output 1
n=n+1	Increment counter
JP #REPEAT,n<5	Repeat 5 times
STA	Stop
EN	End

Example - Start Motion on Input

This example waits for input 1 to go low and then starts motion.

NOTE: The AI command actually halts execution of the program until the input occurs. If you do not want to halt the program sequences, you can use the Input Interrupt function (II) or use a conditional jump on an input, such as JP #GO,@IN[1] = 1.
