Group Motion functions

The following table describes the Group Motion functions.

Function name Description
GetGroupAcceleration Gets a group's acceleration in the selected coordinate system of an axis group.
GetGroupPosition Gets a group's position in the selected coordinate system of an axis group.
GetGroupVelocity Gets a group's velocity in the selected coordinate system of an axis group.
HaltGroup Commands a controlled motion stop.
InchGroup Commands a never-ending controlled motion at a specified velocity for an axis group with a maximum distance.
JogGroup Commands a never-ending controlled motion at a specified velocity for an axis group.
MoveCircularAbsolute Commands an interpolated circular movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point.
MoveCircularAdditive Commands an interpolated circular movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point.
MoveCircularRelative Commands an interpolated circular movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point.
MoveHelicalAbsolute Commands an interpolated helical movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point.
MoveHelicalAdditive Commands an interpolated helical movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point.
MoveHelicalRelative Commands an interpolated helical movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point.
MoveLinearAbsolute Commands an interpolated linear movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point to an absolute position in the specified coordinate system.
MoveLinearAdditive Commands an interpolated linear movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point to a relative position in the specified coordinate system.
MoveLinearRelative Commands an interpolated linear movement on an axis group from the current position of the tool center point to a relative position in the specified coordinate system.
ReleaseGroup Release a group from the GroupStopping state.
SetGroupPositionOffset Sets the position of all axes in a group without moving the axes. The new coordinates are described in an array.
StopGroup Commands a controlled motion stop and transfers the axis group to the state GroupStopping.
