Post by trycyclepower on How to set unit in Axis ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I am very new to Motion in Codesys. I have linear axis and would like to setup as mm, I want to move axis and control axis in mm, mm/s. How do I do that? I know my electronic gearing is 200000.

Post by simotion on Inheritance of axis ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
I have developped a function block 'Axis' the inherits from 'AXIS_REF_SM3' -> FUNCTION_BLOCK Axis EXTENDS AXIS_REF_SM3 In my global variable list I define a variable MasterDrive of type Axis and assign Axis1. Axis1 is a virtual drive (AXIS_REF_VIRTUAL_SM3). This type should inherit from AXIS_REF_VIRTUAL. VAR_GLOBAL MasterDrive : Axis := Axis1; However I get the error 'Cannot convert type'. What is the way to obtain what I want : function block inheriting AXIS_REF_SM3 and initialising this function block with a Softmotion virtual or real axis?

I have a beckhoff EL7041-1000 rev 21 in my ethercat bus but it wont correctly create a softmotion axis unless i manually insert the device. scan for devices gives me an el7041-1000 without an SM3 axis.

What variable of the axis indicates it is a modulo of finite axis? I want to check that in the code, to adopt my motion code between the two types.

Is there a way to move the slave axis across the zero point of the master axis with variable start and stop points? For example: Slave start at 270° and end at 50°. thanks :)

Post by niallel on How to change bHiresMode ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I'm trying to get Scaling working on my axis. An increment produces 36.6mm of movement, so I want to put the units in application as 36.6. However the docs say that I need to change bHiresMode as it doesn't show me the option for Precision in the User Interface. I'm thinking that I need to change the precision so I can enter decimal places. How can I do this, or is my thinking wrong? Thanks,

Post by simotion on Pointer to Softmotion axis ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
In my projet I use Softmotion. There are several Softmotion axis (type SM_Drive_Virtual). In the Global Variable List I have an array of pointers to the adress of the Axis. Axis : ARRAY[1..iMaxCntAxes] OF POINTER TO AXIS_REF_SM3 := ADR(AX01_Axis), // [1 ADR(AX02_Axis), // [2] This works, but when compiling I get the message : . [WARNING] E3D: GVL Device: PLC Logic: Application: C0564: A reference to uninitialized variable AX01_Axis is used for initialization of Axis. Accessing the uninitialized variable may result in unexpected behavior. [WARNING] E3D: GVL Device: PLC Logic: Application: C0564: A reference to uninitialized variable AX02_Axis is used for initialization of Axis. Accessing the uninitialized variable may result in unexpected behavior. Is there a way when initializing to force the hardware (softmotion axis) to first initialize and then the Global Variable List?

You should use this method: VAR NULL:REFERENCE TO FB_MSG END_VAR Add_EVT_OUT REF= NULL;

Post by simotion on Variable indicating axis pending gearing or camming ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Is there a variable indicating that a gearing or camming operation is pending? For instance MC_Gearin has beeen triggered, but starting point of master axis to start the sychronisation movement is not reached yet, so the slave axis is just waiting for this. I should be able to differ between a pending and active gearing or camming
