How EasyMotion checks the parameters of an S-curve profile

2021-01-11T13:59:20+00:00

The correct execution of an S-curve profile requires that the movement time fits inside a long variable. This conditions is verified by EasyMotion Studio when the "S-curve Profiles" dialogue is closed.  Based on the values set in the "S-curve Profiles" dialogue, EasyMotion Studio computes the TJERK, T2 and T4 parameters and checks if (2xTJERK+T2+T4)x(TJERK+T2)xTJERK < 2^(32-1). If the condition is met, the motion profile is considered valid and the TML code [...]

When does the drive send the PVT status to the host?

2018-09-11T14:02:21+00:00

The drive sends the PVT status to the host when: - the PVT buffer is full, low or empty; - some PVT points are "missing" - for example, in case the host sends 4 points but the 3rd point was not received by the drive. Remark: In case of buffer empty condition, the drive enter QUICKSTOP [...]
