The softMC controller can be used as a pure SERCOS interface card between your application and SERCOS drives (PIPEMODE feature). The host computer controlls all of what normally occurs in the motion module of the softMC . It must send a realtime stream of data through the softMC to the drives. In this case, the softMC functions as a data pipe. The feature is enhanced by the option of flexibly switching between pipe mode and regular mode. In typical applications, the softMC starts in regular mode where homing, jogging and initial position adjustments are made. After that, the softMC can be switched to pipe mode and the host computer takes control. There can be both softMC -controlled and pipe-controlled axes at same time in the system. Following error and velocity over-speed errors are not checked with piped axes, but by the host.

An external profiler path can be designed and fed to the softMC  point-by-point. The controller functions only as a pipe and is not responsible for the correctness of the applied profiler. No system limits are checked except for position error and feedback velocity limitation. While running under this mode, no other movements are allowed.

The HostDouble data interface can be configured in one of four communication protocols using [[MC-Basic:SYSTEM.PIPEMODE|'''SYS.PIPEMODE''']]: <br>

* 1 – sending position command only

* 2 – sending both position and velocity commands

* 3 - sending only velocity commands

* 4 - sending only torque commands (TCMD)

When the system's pipe mode uses only position commands, the controller computes the current velocity.

There can be up to eight (8) axes in the system operating in pipe-mode. The Fast-Data interface can be configured in one of two communication protocols using '''SYS.PIPEMODE''': 1 – sending position command only, 2 – sending both position and velocity commands. When the system's pipe mode uses only position commands, the controller computes the current velocity. Depending on the pipe mode configuration, the controller limits the number of axes that can be operated in this mode. When system uses only position command, eight (8) axes can operate. When using both position and velocity values, only four (4) axes can operate.

The host CPU passes position , velocity  and torque commands commands via a data containers. User's API maps the data to [[MC-Basic:SYSTEM.HOSTDOUBLE|'''SYS.HOSTDOUBLE''']] to external source (usually TCP/IP). The Motion-Bus operation mode of every drive connected to an axis working in Pipe Mode must be configured (Position/Velocity/Torque).

The host CPU passes position and velocity commands via a data structure through the Fast-Data DPRAM. The API maps the data to '''SYS.HOSTDOUBLE'''. The SERCOS operation mode of every drive connected to an axis working in Pipe Mode must be configured (Position/Velocity/Torque). The drive operation mode is selected through a status word written in '''SYS.VIN'''.

PIPEMODE

The softMC controller can be used as a pure Motion-Bus interface card between your application and drives (PIPEMODE feature). The host computer controls all of what normally occurs in the motion module of the softMC . It must send a real-time stream of data through the softMC to the drives. In this case, the softMC functions as a data pipe. The feature is enhanced by the option of flexibly switching between pipe mode and regular mode. In typical applications, the softMC starts in regular mode where homing, jogging and initial position adjustments are made. After that, the softMC can be switched to pipe mode and the host computer takes control. There can be both softMC -controlled and pipe-controlled axes at same time in the system.

An external profiler path can be designed and fed to the softMC point-by-point. The controller functions only as a pipe and is not responsible for the correctness of the applied profiler. No system limits are checked except for position error and feedback velocity limitation. While running under this mode, no other movements are allowed.


The HostDouble data interface can be configured in one of four communication protocols using SYS.PIPEMODE:

  • 1 – sending position command only
  • 2 – sending both position and velocity commands
  • 3 - sending only velocity commands
  • 4 - sending only torque commands (TCMD)

When the system's pipe mode uses only position commands, the controller computes the current velocity.


Data Structure

The host CPU passes position , velocity and torque commands commands via a data containers. User's API maps the data to SYS.HOSTDOUBLE to external source (usually TCP/IP). The Motion-Bus operation mode of every drive connected to an axis working in Pipe Mode must be configured (Position/Velocity/Torque).


The data structure mapping depends on the PIPEMODE state:
