Setpoint position of a configured axis

To configure a setpoint position of a configured axis as the Touchprobe source, adjust the following settings in MOVISUITE®:

  • Touchprobe source "Configured axis"
  • Trigger signal source (in this example: DI02)
  • Trigger signal level (in this example: Rising edge)
  • Data source (in this example: Process output data[12])
  • PO data format
  • Modulo minimum/modulo maximum
  • (The number of processed decimal places must be taken into account. For example, if the position is being processed with 3 decimal places, a modulo maximum of 100.000 corresponds to the set value 100.000.)
  • Delay/cycle time of the process data

 

In this example, the data source of the Touchprobe function is the PO data word[12]. Assigning the setpoint of a configured axis as the Touchprobe source is done via the following instruction in the IEC program:

In this code example, the position setpoint of "Axis1" is used as the Touchprobe source for the Touchprobe function at "Axis2". In this manner, the position value of a virtual axis can be used as the Touchprobe source, for example, for a register control.
