Rotary Motion P2P

The Rotary Motion P2P (point to point) command can be used to rotate an XBot to any arbitrary Rz position.

The XBot must be positioned at the center of the Flyway in order to be rotated.

For general rotation limits, see Full Rotation Motions

Fieldbus Interface

PMC_RotaryMotion

Inputs

Name

Data Type

Description

Execute

BOOL

Execution of the function block begins on a rising edge of this input.

cmdLB

UINT

Any 2 byte Command Label, user defined.

XbotID

USINT

ID of the XBot. Real XBot IDs [1,78]. Virtual XBot IDs [100,127]. Macro IDs [128,191]

BoundaryMode

SINT

0: High performance (requires an entire Flyway to be empty)
1: Compact (neighbour XBots can encroach up to 15mm onto the Flyway with rotating XBot)

MotionMode

SINT

0: Absolute motion
1: Relative motion

WrapMode

SINT

Angle wrapping mode

  • 0: Absolute Position, cumulative rotations counted, up to 100 rotations

  • 1: Positive Rz rotation (counter clockwise) in the range of [0,2π)

  • -1: Negative Rz rotation (clockwise) in the range of [0,2π)

Angle

REAL

Target angle of rotation in radians

MaxVel

REAL

Max velocity in rad/s

MaxAcc

REAL

Max Acceleration in rad/s2

PM_Controller

PMControllerType

Data structure that specifies which PMC to connect to. There should be only 1 instance of this variable for each connected PMC.

Outputs

Name

Data Type

Description

Ack

BOOL

Command has been accepted by the PMC when Ack = TRUE.

Done

BOOL

Execution successful. Function block is finished. (Note: Done will not become TRUE if Execute is already FALSE) 

Busy

BOOL

Function block is active and must continue to be called.

Aborted

BOOL

Command aborted by another command.

Error

BOOL

If there is an error in processing the command, then Error = TRUE, otherwise, FALSE.

ErrorID

UINT

0x0: All OK. Otherwise, please see PMC Reply Codes.

TravelTime

REAL

Traveling time (s)

mode

enum

Angle wrapping mode

  • NO_ANGLE_WRAP: Absolute Position, cumulative rotations counted, up to 100 rotations

  • WRAP_TO_2PI_CCW: Positive Rz rotation (counter clockwise) in the range of [0,2π)

  • WRAP_TO_2PI_CW: Negative Rz rotation (clockwise) in the range of [0,2π)

Returns

Name

Type

Description

MotionRtn.PmcRtn

PMCRTN enum

ALLOK (0): Command Accepted. Otherwise, please see Ethernet Reply Codes.

MotionRtn.TravelTimeSecs

float

Time required to complete this command, in seconds

Conditions

Operating Conditions

Preconditions

XBot is in the Idle state, Obstacle Detected state, Motion state, Stopped state, Hold Position state, or Waiting state.

Postconditions

If the XBot is ready to immediately begin executing the command, then the XBot will enter the Motion state. Otherwise, the XBot state remains unchanged, but the command will be added to the XBot's motion buffer.

Description

The Rotary Motion P2P (point to point) command can be used to rotate an XBot to any arbitrary Rz position.

The XBot must be positioned at the center of the Flyway in order to be rotated.
