Chapter 6 Programming Motion • 86 USER MANUAL
Consider, for example, the trajectory shown in Fig. 6.5. The position X may be described by the
points:
Point 1 X=0 at T=0ms
Point 2 X=48 at T=4ms
Point 3 X=288 at T=12ms
Point 4 X=336 at T=28ms
The same trajectory may be represented by the increments
Increment 1 DX=48 Time=4 DT=2
Increment 2 DX=240 Time=8 DT=3
Increment 3 DX=48 Time=16 DT=4
When the controller receives the command to generate a trajectory along these points, it interpolates
linearly between the points. The resulting interpolated points include the position 12 at 1 msec,
position 24 at 2 msec, etc.
The programmed commands to specify the above example are:
#A
CMX Specifies X axis for contour mode
DT 2 Specifies first time interval, 2
2
ms
CD 48;WC Specifies first position increment
DT 3 Specifies second time interval, 2
3
ms
CD 240;WC Specifies second position increment
DT 4 Specifies the third time interval, 2
4
ms
CD 48;WC Specifies the third position increment
DT0;CD0 Exits contour mode
