Move Types
To command motion, use a command appropriate to the desired
type of motion, such as JOG (single-axis profile), CIRCW (Two-
Dimensional Clockwise Circle), CIRCCW (Two-Dimensional Counter
Clockwise Circle), SINE (Sinusoidal Move), or TARC (3-D Arc) The
MOV (Define a Linear Move) command activates linear-interpolated
motion.
When the user includes several axes in a single statement, the
controller coordinates the moves (meaning the axes complete their
respective moves at the same time.) Whereas, if each axis is written
as an independent statement, the controller treats them as
independent moves and they are performed one at a time.
The MOV command is not necessary for coordinated motion
because the controller recognizes an axis name and a value as
commanded motion, such as X500. When multiple axes are written in
a single statement, such as X500 Y100, the motion is coordinated.
NOTE: When commanding motion, you must use the axis name; the
axis number is not a valid way to indicate an axis. For more
information on Axis names, see Slaves and Axis Names.
Absolute Motion
Absolute motion is commanded with respect to the established
“home” or reference location.
To make a linear-interpolated move with the MOV command, use
the arguments axis target, specifying the axis name followed by the
target position.
Example 1
The following moves the X axis to the absolute position of 10 units.
MOV X10
Example 2
To command linear-interpolated motion without MOV, the axis and
position must be designated. The following also moves the X axis to
the absolute position of 10 units in an identical manner as Example
1.
X10
Example 3
If motion is commanded for multiple axes on a single line, the
controller treats it as coordinated motion. The X and Y axes
complete their respective moves at the exact same time.
