Commanding a conveyor

[cpedersen]

In another post it says that only position mode currently exists and velocity mode will be added later. If I have a conveyor that I want to run indefinitely at X meters/second, how would I do that?

Would I write arAxisCtrl[AxisNo].PosMode.Position to some impossibly big number and then write arAxisCtrl[AxisNo].PosMode.Velocity to the line speed I want?

Hi cpedersen,

the velocity mode is planned for Release March next year.

As a workaround you could use a modulo axis and command it with Jog continuous.

arAxisCtrl[AxisNo].SetupMode.JogPlus

You need to define before:

arAxisCtrl[AxisNo].SetupMode.Vel

arAxisCtrl[AxisNo].SetupMode.DynValues
