Chapter 6 Programming Motion
Overview
The DMC-13X8 provides several modes of motion, including independent positioning and jogging,
coordinated motion, electronic cam motion, and electronic gearing. Each one of these modes is
discussed in the following sections.
The DMC-1318 is a single axis controller and uses only X-axis motion. Likewise, the DMC-1328 uses
X and Y, the DMC-1338 uses X, Y and Z and the DMC-1348 uses X, Y, Z and W.
The example applications described below will help guide you to the appropriate mode of motion.
Example Application Mode of Motion Commands
Absolute or relative positioning where each axis is
independent and follows prescribed velocity profile.
Independent Axis Positioning PA,PR
SP,AC,DC
Velocity control where no final endpoint is prescribed.
Motion stops on Stop command.
Independent Jogging JG
AC,DC
ST
Motion Path described as incremental position points versus
time.
Contour Mode CM
CD
DT
WC
2,3 or 4 axis coordinated motion where path is described by
linear segments.
Linear Interpolation LM
LI,LE
VS,VR
VA,VD
2-D motion path consisting of arc segments and linear
segments, such as engraving or quilting.
