This task rotates the object about a specified axis.

 

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 insructions in the chapter Task groups.

Number of rotations

Floating-point number

no

Number of rotations which should be performed.

Rotations per second

Floating-point number

(1.0 to 10.0)

no

Parameter which defines object rotation speed in rotations per second.

Rotation axis

Selection

no

A parameter for choosing the rotation axis.

 

 

iIf a predefined target time is set and also wait until end of cycle is activated, the object rotates at the specified speed (rotations per second) as often as it is possible in the predefined target time. The numer of rotations parameter is ignored in this case.
