TW
FUNCTION: Timeout for IN-Position (MC)
DESCRIPTION:
The TW command sets the timeout in samples (msec for TM1000) to declare an error if the MC
command is active and the motor is not at or beyond the actual position within n msec after
the completion of the motion profile. If a timeout occurs, then the MC trippoint will clear
and the stop code will be set to 99. An application program will jump to the special label
#MCTIME. The RE command should be used to return from the #MCTIME subroutine.
ARGUMENTS: TW n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n or
