Motion with Automation1
The Automation1 controller supplies move types and motion-related operations that can be combined to make a full part program. Before you command motion to the controller, you must first use the motion setup functions to configure your task and axis motion settings. Default motion settings are stored in controller parameters by Machine Setup. After your controller is configured, you can create and run your motion program in the Develop workspace.
Get Started
Learn how to configure task and axis motion settings with Motion Setup Functions.
Refer to the Motion Functions page to learn about enabling and disabling an axis and the move types that you can use.
Learn how to manually control motion with the controller by using Joystick Functions.
Use G-code to configure and execute motion on the controller. Refer to G-Code Programming.
Refer to Acceleration and Deceleration Ramping to learn how to cleanly ramp the speed of motion between two different setpoints.
