Syntax [Axis/Group] {TML command; }
Operands Axis/Group:
| • | An integer 1 to 255 representing an Axis ID |
| • | G followed by an integer 1 to 8 representing one of the 8 groups |
| • | B for a broadcast to all axes |
TML command: any single axis TML instruction
Binary code
| Description | When an axis executing a TML program encounters this instruction, sends the TML command specified between { } to another axis or group of axes. At destination, the command is executed as any other on-line TML command received via a communication channel. In the binary code, Axis/Group represents either an Axis ID (if A/G=0) or a Group ID (if A/G = 1). A transmission with Group ID can be: |
| • | For all the axes from a single group, if one bit from the 8-bit Group ID is 1 |
| • | A broadcast to all the axes, if the Group ID = 0 |
Remark: You may specify between { } multiple commands, separated by semicolons “;”. The TML compiler splits them in single commands, each having the above binary code. The single commands are sent in the same order as set in the command between { }
Execution Send the “TML Command” between { } to the destination
| Example |
[G1]{CPOS=2000;}; // send a new CPOS command to all axes from group 1
[G1]{UPD}; // send an update command to all the axes from group 1
// all axes from group 1 will start to move simultaneously
[B]{STOP;}; // broadcast a STOP command to all axes from the network
