MoveVelocity() [2/2]

void MoveVelocity ( double  velocity, double  accel  )

pure virtual

Command a constant velocity move (jog).

Description:

MoveVelocity command a constant velocity move (jog). The axis will accelerate to the Target velocity and continue indefinitely.

Parameters

velocity	Target velocity, units/second.
accel	Maximum accleration, units/second/second.

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->MoveVelocity(10000.0, 100000.0);

RapidSetup:

Go to axis screen->Motion Profile box (left) to select type of motion
Go to axis screen->Motion Parameters box (right) to select values for motion

Motion Scope:

Velocity move (Trapezoidal type - 0% jerk) profile shown below:
