Overview
The Sequence form illustrates all move profiles
within the cycle, referred to as the sequence of an axis. To
coordinate between the timing of other axis moves, you may chart up
to 4 profiles, from any axis, using the Configure Profiles
form.
|
|
|
|
Configure the profiles to be displayed in the
sequence chart in the Configure
Profiles form. Up to 4 profiles can be displayed in one
chart.
|
|
|
When selected, Y scales are stacked one on top
of the other instead of side-by-side as shown here. More involved sequences
with 3 and 4 profiles are easier to view. Best suited for
higher screen resolutions and when the form is maximized.

Double-click on the row select cell (gray) or
step number to bring up the Segment data entry form. Only the
segment description can be edited directly in the main sequence
table. Segment data can only be edited in the Segment form.

Double-click on the row select cell (gray) or
step number to bring up the Move data entry form. Only the
move description can be edited directly in the main sequence
table. Move data can only be edited in the Move form.
Note: The blue arrow on the chart points to the
start time of the selected Move/Segment.

Insert / Append / Delete Moves and Segments
Select a step, then click Edit at the top left
of the form, or right-click on the selected step, and then select
Insert, Append or Delete. How to insert a move before Step 2
is shown below.
Group / Ungroup
To select the
Group or Ungroup function, select
a step, then click Edit at the top left of the form, or right-click
on the selected step.
The Group
function assembles four segments into one move. The four segments
must be in the correct order. The first and third segments must
have the same profile type with Accel <> 0, and the second
and fourth segments must have Constant Velocity and Accel = 0. The
Group function is available when the first segment is
selected.
The Ungroup
function breaks up a move into four segments - Accel, Constant
Velocity, Decel and Dwell. Ungrouping allows for the editing of the
individual segments.
The Group and
Ungroup functions are illustrated below:
