Linear-Motion FB

See Add Linear-Motion FB

The default output from the Linear-Motion FB is equal to the Master-Machine-Angle (MMA).

Use the output from the Linear-Motion FB as the machine-angle at the input to other Kinematic FBs.

Edit the Linear-Motion FB to change the output relative to the Master-Machine-Angle.

Start-Angle: Red-14-1

Enter a real number in the data-boxRed-14-1

A positive value will advance the timing relative to the MMA.

Output Options: Red-14-2

◉ Reset each Cycle (default)
Output = Master Machine Angle + Red-14-1

◉ Accumulate
Output = (Revs × 360) + Master Machine Angle + Red-14-1

The function of the Linear-Motion FB is:

If ResetRed-14-2: Output  = MMA + start-angle Red-14-1

or

If AccumulateRed-14-2: Output = (Revs × 360) + Master Machine Angle + Start-Angle Red-14-1
