◆ MoveSCurve() [2/3]

void MoveSCurve ( double  position,
double  vel,
double  accel,
double  decel,
double  jerkPct 
)
pure virtual

Command a point-to-point S-Curve motion.

Description:
MoveSCurve command a point-to-point motion, with an S-Curve velocity profile.
This type of motion has an "S" shape to the acceleration and deceleration phases. It uses the JerkPercent parameter to decide how much of the acceleration and deceleration phases is curved. A JerkPercent of zero produces a trapezoidal profile.
Parameters
positionTarget Position in units.
velMaximum velocity, units/second.
accelMaximum accleration , units/second/second.
decelMaximum deceleration , units/second/second.
jerkPctJerk Percent, which defines the percentage of acceleration time which is smoothed, 0.0 to 100.0 .
Note
In most cases, a servo motor has a feedback device mounted. Depending on feedback device resolution, one motor shaft rotation will produce fixed value of counts. Example: motor has a resolution of 8192 counts. This means if 8192 is entered as distance to move, motor will move single revolution. User can implement UserUnitsSet() to change to a different unit (ex: mm, inches, etc) from encoder counts.
Sample Code:
axis->MoveSCurve(10000.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 10000.0, 50.0);
RapidSetup:
Go to axis screen->Motion Profile box (left) to select type of motion
