Figure 107: Index Setup View (Absolute Type)
Indexes use the following parameters:
Index Name - Is a 12-character string that gives a descriptive name to an index.
Index Type – Selects the desired type of index from the list box. An Absolute index means the load will travel to an exact
position with respect to the home reference point. This index will cause motion in either a positive or negative direction
depending on current position of the load with respect to the home reference point. An Incremental index means that the load
travels an exact distance from the start of the index.
Position/Distance – If using an absolute index, this is the desired final position after the index is complete. If using an
incremental index, then this is the distance you want the load to move from the start of the index. This is a signed value.
Velocity – This is the target velocity of the index profile. The velocity parameter is unsigned and is always greater than zero.
Direction of the index is not determined by the velocity, but by the Distance/Position parameter.
Acceleration – Is the average acceleration rate used when accelerating to the target index velocity.
Deceleration - Is the average deceleration rate used when decelerating to zero speed, or to the new target velocity.
