Independent Axis Positioning
In this mode, motion between the specified axes is independent, and each axis follows its own profile.
The user specifies the desired absolute position (PA) or relative position (PR), slew speed (SP),
acceleration ramp (AC), and deceleration ramp (DC), for each axis. On begin (BG), the DMC-13X8
profiler generates the corresponding trapezoidal or triangular velocity profile and position trajectory.
The controller determines a new command position along the trajectory every sample period until the
specified profile is complete. Motion is complete when the last position command is sent by the
DMC-13X8 profiler. Note: The actual motor motion may not be complete when the profile has been
completed, however, the next motion command may be specified.
The Begin (BG) command can be issued for all axes either simultaneously or independently. XYZ or
W axis specifiers are required to select the axes for motion. When no axes are specified, this causes
motion to begin on all axes.
The speed (SP) and the acceleration (AC) can be changed at any time during motion, however, the
deceleration (DC) and position (PR or PA) cannot be changed until motion is complete. Remember,
motion is complete when the profiler is finished, not when the actual motor is in position. The Stop
