| Operands | – |
Binary code
| Description | Sets the drive/motor to operate in the position contouring mode. In the contouring modes, an arbitrary path is described via a series of points. Between the points, linear interpolation is performed, leading to a contour described by a succession of linear segments. In the position contouring, the drive/motor performs a position control and the path represents a position reference. |
The new motion mode becomes effective at the next update command UPD.
Example
// Position contouring with position feedback on motor: 500 lines
// incremental encoder (2000 counts/rev)
MODE PC;//Set Position Contouring
TUM1;//Start from actual value of position reference
SEG 100U, 20.00000;// 1st point
UPD; //Execute immediate
SEG 100U, 0.00000; // 2nd point
SEG 0, 0.0; //End of contouring
