Galil COMMAND REFRENNCE DMC-1400 Manual De Usuario

FUNCTION:  Vector Position 

DESCRIPTION: 

The VP command defines the target coordinates of a straight line segment in a 2 axis motion 

sequence which have been selected by the VM command.   The units are in quadrature 
counts, and are a function of the vector scale factor set using the command VS.   

ARGUMENTS:  VP n,m < o > p  where 

n and m are signed integers in the range -2147483648 to 2147483647 The length of each 

segment must be limited to 8   106.  The values for n and m will specify a coordinate 
system from the beginning of the sequence. 

o specifies a vector speed to be taken into effect at the execution of the vector segment.  n is 

an unsigned even integer between 0 and 12,000,000 for servo motor operation and 
between 0 and 3,000,000 for stepper motors. 

p specifies a vector speed to be achieved at the end of the vector segment.  p is an unsigned 

even integer between 0 and 8,000,000.

Controller Usage 

_VPx contains the absolute coordinate of the axes at the last intersection along the sequence.  

For example, during the first motion segment, this instruction returns the coordinate at 
the start of the sequence.  The use as an operand is valid in the linear mode, LM, and in 
the Vector mode, VM.
