This property allows you to define the logical direction of the movement. The movement factors (i.e., POSITIONFACTOR, VELOCITYFACTOR, ACCELERATIONFACTOR) are assigned to positive values only. DIRECTION determines their sign.
-1: motion is forward
1: motion is backward
Syntax
<axis>.Direction = <expression>
?<axis>.Direction
Availability
All versions
Type
Long
Range
-1 or 1
Default
1
Scope
Configuration, Task or Terminal
Limitations
Cannot be changed while axis is enabled or while axis is set up as a master axis.
In order to set the value within a task, the axis must be attached to that task (using the ATTACH command).
Examples
Axis1.Direction = 1
