AXY:MC-Basic:group.VELOCITYFACTOR

This property specifies the conversion factor between the user velocity units and the internal units [counts per msec].

	NOTE
	In using VELOCITYFACTOR for a group, the position units are taken from the POSITIONFACTOR of the axes within the group. The position units must not be specified in the group’s VELOCITYFACTOR.

Short form

<group>.Vfac

Syntax

<group>.VelocityFactor = <expression>

?<group>.VelocityFactor

Availability

All versions

Type

Double

Range

Greater than zero

Default

1/60000 (for working in units of position units per minute)

Scope

Configuration, Task or Terminal

Limitations

Cannot be changed while axis is enabled or while axis is set up as a master axis.

To set the value within a task, the group must be attached to that task (using the ATTACH command).

Examples

G1.Vfac = 1 / 60000                                   ‘work in per minute

G1.Vfac = 1 / 1000                                     ‘work in per second
