DMC-1400 Series Command Reference MC ● 137
MC
FUNCTION: Motion Complete - "In Position"
DESCRIPTION:
The MC command is a trippoint used to control the timing of events. This command will
hold up execution of the following commands until the current move is completed and
the encoder reaches or passes the specified position. TW sets the timeout to declare an
error if the encoder is not in position within the specified time. If a timeout occurs, the
trippoint will clear and the stopcode will be set to 99. An application program will jump
to the special label #MCTIME.
When used in stepper mode, the controller will hold up execution of the proceeding
commands until the controller has generated the same number of steps as specified in the
commanded position. The actual number of steps that have been generated can be
monitored by using the interrogation command TD. Note: The MC command is useful
when operating with stepper motors since the step pulses can be delayed from the
commanded position due to the stepper motor smoothing function, KS.
