IndAMove Independent Absolute position Movement
Example
Arguments
IndAMove is used to change an axis to independent mode and move the axis to a specific
position.
An independent axis is an axis moving independently of other axes in the robot system.
As program execution continues immediately, it is possible to execute other instructions
(including positioning instructions) during the time the independent axis is moving.
If the axis is to be moved within a revolution, the instruction IndRMove should be used
instead. If the move is to occur a short distance from the current position, the
instruction IndDMove must be used.
IndAMove Station_A,2\ToAbsPos:=p4,20;
Axis 2 of Station_A is moved to the position p4 at the speed 20 degrees/s.
IndAMove MecUnit Axis [ \ToAbsPos ] | [ \ToAbsNum ] Speed [
\Ramp]
MecUnit (Mechanical Unit) Data type: mecunit
The name of the mechanical unit.
Axis Data type: num
The number of the current axis for the mechanical unit (1-6).
[ \ToAbsPos ] (To Absolute Position) Data type: robtarget
Axis position specified as a robtarget. Only the component for this specific axis
is used. The value is used as an absolute position value in degrees (mm for linear
axes).
The axis position will be affected if the axis is displaced using the instruction
EOffsSet or EOffsOn.
For robot axes, the argument \ToAbsNum is to be used instead.
[ \ToAbsNum ] (To Absolute Numeric value) Data type: num
Axis position defined in degrees (mm for linear axis).
Using this argument, the position will NOT be affected by any displacement, e.g.
EOffsSet or PDispOn.
