Hey Guys,
I'm trying to figure out what the best way to do a velocity profile is with a Kinetix drive. In my case I'll be using a CompactLogix controller with Studio5000 and most likely a Kinetix 5500.
The move profile I want to make would look something like this for a move from 0-100mm:
0mm – 20mm @ 100mm/s
20mm – 40mm @ 80mm/s
40mm – 60mm @ 60mm/s
60mm – 80mm @ 40mm/s
80mm – 100mm @ 20mm/s
I know I could do this by just watching the actual position and issuing MCD commands to change the velocity, or do something with a virtual axis and a cam profile, but I'm wondering if there is a simpler way to do this?
Other controllers I've worked with have buffered moves where you can queue up a bunch of moves and it will execute them in order blending them together. Does AB have anything like that?
Thanks!
