Single axis settings function blocks

Sets or gets the parameters for an axis, including the alias, position, velocity, torque, acceleration, deceleration, jerk, unit, PID, control mode, homing mode and movement.

Function block name Description
MC_CyclicSwitch Uses an axis' position to control a switch that triggers a digital output repeatedly.
MC_DigitalCamSwitch Uses an axis' position to control a switch that triggers a digital output.
MC_ReadAxisError Reads general axis errors not relating to the function blocks. For example, axis errors, drive errors, communication errors.
MC_ReadAxisInfo Reads information concerning an axis, like modes, inputs directly related to the axis, and certain status information.
MC_ReadBoolParameter Reads the value of a vendor-specific parameter from an axis.
MC_ReadParameter Reads the value of a vendor-specific parameter from an axis.
MC_SetControlMode Sets a control mode of an axis at run time.
MC_SetOverride Sets the override values for the whole axis, and all function blocks that are working on that axis.
MC_SetPosition Shifts the coordinate system of an axis by manipulating both the setpoint position as well as the actual position of an axis with the same value without causing any movement (recalibration with same following error).
MC_WriteBoolParameter Writes the value of a vendor-specific parameter into an axis.
MC_WriteParameter Writes the value of a vendor-specific parameter into an axis.
