Motion

Motion panel provides a complete axis control function test environment. You can monitor axis card status in real-time, set I/O parameters, execute homing (Find Reference), and directly issue motion commands to control motors.

In addition, the panel supports saving current settings as configuration files (*.INI) for quick loading in subsequent program development.

Motion Test Panel

Real-time Status Monitor

The upper area of the panel displays real-time status information for each axis:

Status LED/ValueDescription
Logical PosLogical Position (Accumulated pulse position output by the axis card).
Encoder PosActual position fed back by Encoder.
FForward Limit switch trigger status.
RReverse Limit switch trigger status.
HHome switch trigger status.
INPIn-Position signal, indicating whether the motor has reached the target position.
ALMAlarm signal, indicating whether the driver has an error.
Stop(Red)/Start(Green)Motor running status indication.
