All group motion is fully coordinated and synchronized

Used In:

  • Applications where the relationships among multiple axes are critical

All Group Motion can be fully coordinated and synchronized when using the G-MAS.

Using Group Motion, each motion trajectory is interpolated to small segments, ensuring constant smoothness in position, velocity and acceleration.

During real-time execution, each Group Motion starts together and finishes together.

Design Features

Group-related function blocks (FBs) are designed with respect to the following coordinated motions:

  • Linear segment
  • Circular segment
  • Polynomial segment
  • Table-related motions:
    • Spline interpolation of pre-defined position table
    • Position, Velocity, Time (PVT) table
