DefaultCoordinatedRampMode Parameter

Default Value: 0

Minimum Value: 0

Maximum Value: 1

Units: None

Type: int

IMPORTANT: This parameter applies only to coordinated motion such as MoveLinear(), MoveCw(), and MoveCcw() functions.

The DefaultCoordinatedRampMode parameter specifies one of the default coordinated ramp modes that follow:

  • When Rate is specified, the controller uses rate-based ramping.
  • When Time is specified, the controller uses time-based ramping.

Do not try to set the active coordinated ramp mode with this parameter. To set the coordinated ramp mode from within an AeroScript program, use the SetupCoordinatedRampValue() function.

Tip: Aerotech recommends that you use rate-based ramping as an alternative to time-based ramping because the maximum acceleration does not change when the commanded velocity changes. Refer to the SetupCoordinatedRampValue() function in Motion Setup Functions.

IMPORTANT: You must reset the controller for these changes to have an effect.
