Start-Angle Red-14-1

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

A positive value advances the output 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 then Output  = MMA + start-angle Red-14-1

or

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