This task performs an object movement in a specific direction. This task can be synchronized with the existing tasks.

 

Parameter

Type

Mand.

Meaning

Wait until end of cycle

Checkbox

yes

A selection parameter which defines whether the task should wait until the end of the current cycle.

In case of conflicts, i.e. both parameters Predefine target time [s] and Wait until end of cycle are defined, the parameter Predefine target time [s] is given priority over the other.

Task end to wait for

Selection

no

A parameter which defines whether the current tasks has to wait for the other tasks to finish.

This parameter should not be referenced to a task within a task group in which the parameter Predefined target time [s] is defined (meaning it is set to a value not equal to zero). Please see the instructions in the chapter Task groups.

Move direction

Selection

no

A parameter for defining the movement direction.

Speed [m/s]

Floating-point number

(0.001 to 343.0)

no

A parameter which specifies the movement speed in meters per second.

Clearance [mm]

Floating-point number

no

A parameter for specifying the distance for the movement in millimetres.

Reference system

Selection

no

A parameter for switching between the global coordinate system, the coordinate system of the parent object (local) and the one of the object itself.

global-movement: movement relative to axes of global coordinate system

local-movement: movement relative to axes of local coordinate system of the parent object

relative-movement: movement relative to axes of local coordinate system of the object itself
