MotionDesigner
Use MotionDesigner to add, name and design motions. Each motion has a unique name that is shown in the Motion name-tab of MotionDesigner.
When you design a motion, you can use a Motion FB to link it to a or in MechDesigner.
To Link a Motion to a Motion-Part
STEP 1: Add a Motion FB to the graphic-area
1.Click
2.Click in the graphic-area |
The Motion FB is now in the graphic-area.
STEP 2: Open the Motion FB dialog-box
The Motion FB dialog-box is now open.

STEP 3:Edit the Motion FB dialog-box:
1.Click the down-arrow in the list box, to show the list of motion-names that are the Motion name-tabs
2.Click the motion-name that you want to link to the Motion FB. |
•Reset output : Default option, and is used most frequently.
•Accumulate output : Select only when the motion is a progressive motion (e.g. indexing) |
•Motion : Default option, use in most cases
•Linear or Rotary : Select when you connect the Motion FB to a Motion-Path FB or Math FB. |
Click  to close the Motion FB dialog-Box.
|
STEP 4: Connect wires to the input-connector and from the output-connector.
1.Connect a wire to the input-connector of the Motion FB
Usually, (but not always), connect a wire from the output of a Linear-Motion FB or a Gearing FB to the input-connector of the Motion FB.
When you cycle the model, the motion-values at its input-connector are the X-axis motion-values of the Motion you select in STEP 3.
2.Connect a wire from the output-connector of the Motion FB
Usually (not always), connect a wire from the Motion FB to the input of a Motion-Dimension FB or a Motion-Path FB
When you cycle the model, the motion-values at the output-connector are the Y-axis motion-values of the Motion you select in Select Motion drop-down box (see STEP 3).
