Introduction
This article provides a general overview of the attached Quick Start Guide for Easy Positioning Function Blocks. The Quick Start guide explains the criteria of applicability and the method of operation of the attached Function Blocks (FUNCTION BLOCKS.zip). The attachment includes a collection of function blocks created to perform open loop and closed loop axis control in an easy way via pulse train, analog, etc. from simple electronic axis link to advanced positioning functions.
The information in this article can be particularly useful when applied to motion control used in packaging machinery. To examine a packaging machine case study utilizing PLC-based motion control, visit the link below.
