Linear-Motion FB

See Add Linear-Motion FB

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

Edit Linear-Motion FB to advance or delay the output relative to the Master-Machine-Angle.

The Linear-Motion FB does not have an input-connector.

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.

A negative value delays 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 Reset each cycleRed-14-2 then Output = MMA + start-angle Red-14-1

else

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