Kinetix 300 - Send Position Setpoint in EtherNet/IP External Reference Mode?

Hello All,

I want to tell a motor to travel 50" away from an absolute position (Home Position).

How can I accomplish this in Kinetix 300?

Currently, I am using MSG instruction to Read Assembly 113 and Write Assembly 114. I can:
1. read status
2. start motion & homing
3. stop motion & abort homing

What I need:
1. tell the motor to travel specific number of inches.

I tried:
1. CommandPosition (in Assembly 114)
2. Target Position (ID = 184)
Couldn't get the motor to start.

What should I do? Am I understanding right?

Thanks all,

Anyone knows how to do this? Thanks all,

It would help if you posted more information. System setup, Part numbers, etc.

I got it to work!

The problem was (for the people who might have this problem in the future):

In Assembly 114, elements:
8...11 (L105:3) (stored in REAL F100:0 by choice)
12...15 (L105:4) (stored in REAL F100:1 by choice)
16...19 (L105:5) (stored in REAL F100:2 by choice)
20...23 (L105:6) (stored in REAL F100:3 by choice)
24...27 (L105:7) (stored in REAL F100:4 by choice)
28...31 (L105:8) (stored in REAL F100:5 by choice)

They need to:
---------------
CPW
Source #F100:0
Dest #L105:3
Length 12
---------------

Data had to be copied from Float to Long.

Cheers,
