AXY:MC-Basic:axis.TIMESETTLEMAX
This property defines the maximum time allowed for the axis to settle. The time is measured from the moment the motion profiler completes. If the axis has not settled after the specified time has passed, an error is generated. TIMESETTLE is measured from the moment the axis is in position. Since some time may elapse from the moment the profiler has completed until the axis is actually in position, TIMESETTLEMAX should be set greater than TIMESETTLE.
Setting the value to -1 disables this function (i.e., the maximum settling time is never checked).
Short form
<axis>.TSettleMax
Syntax
<axis>.TimeSettleMax = <expression>
?<axis>.TimeSettleMax
Availability
All versions
Type
Double
Range
-1, greater than 0
Default
-1
Scope
Configuration, Task or Terminal
Limitations
- The maximum settling time should be an integer multiple of the SERCOS cycle time. If it is not, the actual time is rounded up to the nearest integer multiple of the SERCOS cycle time, and a message is given.
- To set the value within a task, the axis must be attached to that task (using the ATTACH command).
Examples
Xaxis.TimeSettleMax = 5000
- Allow maximum 5 seconds to settle
