Safety Precautions

This section describes important precautions that apply to motion programming. Before programming, always read this manual and all other attached documents to ensure correct programming. Before using the equipment, familiarize yourself with equipment details, safety information, and all other precautions.

 Application Precautions

CAUTION

• When programming the following axis move commands, check the path to make sure that there are no tools or other obstacles in the way of the workpiece.

The axis move commands that must be checked are as follows:

• Positioning (MOV)

• Linear Interpolation (MVS)

• Circular Interpolation (MCC, MCW)

• Helical Interpolation (MCC, MCW)

• Set Time Positioning (MVT)

• Linear Interpolation with Skip Function (SKP)

• Zero Point Return (ZRN)

• External Positioning (EXM)

be entirely different than those expected. Before starting operations, be sure to check that the settings are designated correctly.

The coordinate commands that must be checked are as follows:

• Absolute Programming Mode (ABS)

• Incremental Programming Mode (INC)

• Current Position Set (POS)

• Move ON Machine Coordinates (MVM)

1 Overview

1.1 What is a Motion Program?

The motion program is a program written in motion language, Yaskawa’s unique textual language. A motion program can be executed either by coding an MSEE command in a ladder program or by registering the motion program in the program execution registry screen dialog box for the M-EXECUTOR Module.

Note: The M-EXECUTOR Module can not be used with the following modules and Machine Controllers:

MP2300, CPU-01, CPU-02

Apart from ladder programs, up to 256 motion programs can be created. An example of a motion program is shown below.

The features of motion programs are described starting from the next page.

1.2.1 Execution Method

A motion program employs an execution method that differs from the ladder program. With a ladder program, processing from the program start to an END command is completed within one scan. With a motion program, the processing requested by one command normally requires more than one scan. Also, the commands are executed sequentially, in the order they are coded. In this manual, the execution method of ladder program is referred to as Scan Execution, and that of a motion program as Sequential Execution.

1.2 Motion Program Features

1.2.2 Motion Control in Full Synchronization with Sequence Control

The process written in a motion program is executed in full synchronization with high-speed scans of the MP2000-series Machine Controller. The axis movement will start within one scan after the start request from the ladder program, without any time lag to start the motion program.

1.2.5 Arithmetic Operations

The motion language includes commands for arithmetic operations and logical operations. These commands allow you to include various calculations, such as calculation of target position in a motion program.

DL00000 = DW00002

Data can be transferred between a ladder program and motion program. Data registers (M registers) are used to transfer the data. In this way, a value updated in a ladder program can be used in a motion program, and vice versa

1.2 Motion Program Features

1.2.7 Memory Usage Reduced by Use of Subprograms

Subroutines (subprograms) can be created within a motion program. The number of program steps can be minimized by creating a subprogram that includes a set of commands to perform a repeated or regular task, thus reducing memory usage.

1.2.8 Parallel Program Execution

With a single MP2000-series Machine Controller, up to 16 tasks can be simultaneously executed using motion programs. With one motion program, up to four main programs can be simultaneously executed. Additionally, up to two subprograms can be simultaneously executed by calling subprograms from the main program. Multiple different movements can be simultaneously controlled by using such the parallel program execution function.

1.2.9 Program Online Editing

Motion programs can be edited online in the same way as ladder programs. Online editing refers to editing programs with the programming device logged on to the Machine Controller. In online editing mode, the operation to save the edited program automatically transfers the saved program to the Machine Controller. Thus, an operation to transfer to the Machine Controller is not required and program development efficiency is improved.

Online editing is disabled while a motion program is running.

1.5 Motion Program Execution Timing

Motion programs are executed in full synchronization with MP2000 high-speed scans. In every high-speed scan cycle, I/O services are performed first, and the motion program registered in M-EXECUTOR is executed. Next, the motion program initiated in the MSEE command coded in the DWG.H is executed at the timing of the MSEE command execution. The following diagram illustrates motion program execution timing.

Overview

1.6 Grouping

The axes involved in related operations are organized into individual groups. Motion programs can be created for each group. This allows one MP2000-series Machine Controller to independently control multiple machines using group operation. Group operation can be single group operation or multiple group operation.

Definitions for axes to be grouped together are made under Group Definitions.

1.8 What is a Sequence Program?

The sequence program is a scan execution type program written in the language commonly used for the motion program. An application to cyclically check a status, such as an interlock, can be created by using a sequence program. A sequence program can be executed by calling from the program execution registry screen dialog box of MEXECUTOR Module.

Note: The M-EXECUTOR Module can not be used with the following modules and Machine Controllers:

MP2300, CPU-01, CPU-02

A total of up to 256 sequence and motion programs can be created. An example of a sequence program is shown below.

1.9.2 Programming Language Commonly Used in Motion Programs

A sequence program employs the same motion language as a motion program. The motion language commands that can be used in sequence programs, however, are limited to sequence commands, such as math commands. Commands for motion control, such as axis move commands, cannot be used. The use of sequence programs allows you to create an application for sequence control without using a ladder program.

1.9.3 Data Transfer from/to Motion Program

Data can be transferred between a sequence program and a motion program. Data registers (M registers) are used to transfer the data. In this way, data updated in the sequence program can be used in the motion program, and vice versa.

1 Overview

Debug Function

Debug a sequence program. The debug commands, including step-by-step execution and break point setting, are provided.

Command Input Assistant Function

Simply select a command and set data in the Motion Command Assist dialog box to insert the command in the editor.

Inserts the command

1.9.4 Memory Usage Reduced by Use of Subprograms

Subroutines (subprograms) can be created within a sequence program. The number of program steps can be minimized by creating a subprogram that includes a set of commands to perform a repeated or regular task, thus reducing memory usage.
