sdkSigGenAxisSetupMiniMACS6()

long sdkSigGenAxisSetupMiniMACS6	(	long	axis,
		long	encPortOut,
		long	indexDistance
	)

Settings for a Signal Generator.

With this function the settings can be made which are required for a signal generator. This is a closed loop signal generator which can generate encoder signals by running a virtual axis. The signal generator can also generate index signals with a defined index distance. This signal will be generated on a digital output. For signal generator 0 this will be digital output 1, for signal generator 1 digital output 2 and so on. The digital output can then not be controlled by normal output functions anymore.

The generated signal cannot be read back. A encoder signal connection to a different port has to be made to receive the generated signals.

Parameters

axis	Axis number 0-n
encPortOut	Encoder port number. Usually, module instance 0 is connected to X1 and so on. Please refer to product manual
indexDistance	Distance in increments between two index signals.

Returns

value: Process value
value > 0 Process successful
value = 0 Process is active
value < 0 Error

sdkSigGenEnable()

void sdkSigGenEnable	(	long	encPort,
		long	enable
	)

Enable/Disable Signal Generator.

Disabling and Enabling the Signal Generator will reset the index distance counter. This means, an index signal will immediately generated. The next signal will be generated after index distance.

Parameters

encPort	Encoder port number. Usually, module instance 0 is connected to X1 and so on. Please refer to product manual
enable	1 = enable, 0 = disable

Examples

        HWSIGGEN_PARAM(encPort, HWSIGGEN_MODE) = HWSIGGEN_MODE_ENABLE;      // enable signal generator
    else
        HWSIGGEN_PARAM(encPort, HWSIGGEN_MODE) = 0;                         // disable signal generator
}

sdkSigGenOpenloopAcceleration()

void sdkSigGenOpenloopAcceleration	(	long	encPort,
		long	acceleration
	)

Set acceleration of Signal Generator.

Parameters

encPort	Encoder port number. Usually, module instance 0 is connected to X1 and so on. Please refer to product manual

sdkSigGenOpenloopSetupMiniMACS6()

long sdkSigGenOpenloopSetupMiniMACS6	(	long	encPort,
		long	indexDistance
	)

Settings for a Signal Generator.

With this function the settings can be made which are required for a signal generator. This is an open loop signal generator which can generate an encoder signal with a defined signal speed and and with a ramp of defined acceleration and deceleration. The signal generator can also generate index signals with a defined index distance. This signal will be generated on a digital output. For signal generator 0 this will be digital output 1, for signal generator 1 digital output 2 and so on. The digital output can then not be controlled by normal output functions anymore.

The generated signal cannot be read back. A encoder signal connection to a different port can be made to receive the generated signals.

Parameters

encPort	Encoder port number. Usually, module instance 0 is connected to X1 and so on. Please refer to product manual
indexDistance	Distance in increments between two index signals.

Returns

value: Process value
value > 0 Process successful
value = 0 Process is active
value < 0 Error
