Description |
Control |
A motion controller. Provides interface to read/write to controller hardware and configure motion controller system. |
Motion |
Manages a single axis or group of axes. Commands moves, coordinates, and provides status for the mapped axes. Also known as the controller’s Motion Supervisor object. |
Axis |
A physical single coordinate system. Generates trajectory calculations and provides position data. |
Filter |
A closed-loop control algorithm. |
Motor |
Physical connections to drive, servo or step motor, dedicated I/O, and feedback devices. |
SynqNet |
A single SynqNet network. Provides network state, status, and topology information. |
SqNode |
Single SynqNet node. Provides node status and configuration. Interface to read/write data and service commands to node hardware and download binary images. |
Notify |
Provides a mechanism to deliver event messages from the controller to the application. |
Recorder |
Manages a single controller data recorder to copy up to 32 controller memory addresses to a buffer at a specified interval and retrieves the data from a host application. Also known as the controller’s Data Recorder object. |
Map |
Translates between controller addresses, named symbols, and strings representing structures. |
Compensator |
Manages a single position compensation table for an axis or axes. Provides an interface to configure and load the compensation tables into the controller’s memory. |
User Limit |
Provides an interface to configure a controller programmable user limit. A controller’s user limit is a general purpose logic block with two configurable inputs that generates an action, event, and/or output to a specified controller address. |
Capture |
Represents a physical node hardware capture logic block to trigger and buffer position feedback and/or time. Provides an interface to configure, arm, and read captured positions and/or times. |
Sequence |
Manages and executes a series of commands on the controller. Executes one Program Sequencer Command per background cycle. Also known as the controller’s Program Sequencer. |
Command |
Represents a single instruction to execute by the controller’s Program Sequencer object. |
Platform |
Provides a common interface to operating system primitives and compiler/library specific . |
DriveMap |
Interface to drive specific parameter map file. Identifies the drive parameter types, names, ranges, valid values, and help string. |
