MC_GearOut (FB)

FUNCTION_BLOCK MC_GearOut

This function block disengages the Slave axis from the Master axis

• The slave axis will keep the actual velocity.

• It is assumed that this command is followed by another command, for instance MC_Stop, MC_GearIn, or any other command. If there is no new command, the default condition should be: maintain last velocity.

• After issuing the function block there is no function block active on the slave axis till the next function block is issued (what can result in problems because no motion command is controlling the axis).

• Alternatively, one can read the actual velocity via MC_ReadActualVelocity and issue MC_MoveVelocity on the slave axis with the actual velocity as input. The function block is here because of compatibility reasons

Note

It is not required to use this block to disengage the axis. MC_Stop/MC_Halt or any other command could be used instead.
