Yt_GroupMoveOptions

Yt_GroupMoveOptions: STRUCT

Element Data Type Description Usage
Pose Yt_PoseStruct Structure that contains the pose corresponding to a taught point
VelocityUnit Yt_VelocityUnit 0 =UseTranslationalScalars, 1=UseRotationalScalars, 2=UseNSpaceScalars. MotomanSync groups only support 0 and 1.

ProfileUnit Yt_ProfileUnit 0=Absolute, 1=PercentMaximum, 2=VMAX algorithm. Only available for MotomanSync groups. This will have no effect on Locally Hosted Groups.

TrajectoryShape INT 0=Trapezoid, 1=SCurve; 2=JerkLimited

PathMode INT When this flag is set to INT#1, the motion engine will attempt to use the Velocity input as both the slew-velocity and the end-velocity of the segment. If the end-velocity cannot be reached due to acceleration constraints, then one of two things will happen:
1)If the end-velocity is too high and can't be reached, it will simply transition to the next segment at a lower velocity than specified. This will occur when a series of closely spaced coordinates are specified and the acceleration is low such that slew velocity cannot be achieved until several segments have been processed.
2) If the end-velocity is too low and can't be reached, it is probable that either a ServoPack or a group alarm could result. An example situation is when the group is moving at high velocity and approaches relatively sharp curve. If the acceleration and deceleration values limit the velocity change, the group may be forced to go through the corner too quickly for the ServoPacks to control properly.
In the second case, Yaskawa recommends decreasing the Velocity input to the function block. Setting MoveOptions.PathMode:=INT#0 in some situations may be effective in forcing a stop over sufficient distance, or combine the PathMode feature with group parameters 2203 and 2204 to get improve the lookahead capability

AlternateVelocity LREAL Velocity in rotational units for groups with the ability to move in both Cartesian and rotational space. Normally during a linear motion segment, rotational velocity is synchronized with the Cartesian motion of the TCP along the vector path so that the rotational component completes at the same time as the linear motion. The motion engine will refer to this AlternateVelocity if a move has no Cartesian motion component with which to synchronize the motion.
MoveOptions.AlternateVelocity:=LREAL#1440.0
AlternateAcceleration LREAL Acceleration / deceleration applied when the AlternateVelocity must be used
MoveOptions.AlternateAcceleration:=LREAL#12000.0

AxesCoordinates VECTOR Reserved For future Use. Do Not Use.
PartFrameNumber INT Reserved For future Use. Do Not Use.

ToolNumber INT Reserved For future Use. Do Not Use.

OptionalParameters DINT Reserved For future Use. Do Not Use.

Closure1 BOOL Reserved For future Use. Do Not Use. 
Closure2 BOOL Reserved For future Use. Do Not Use.
Closure3 BOOL Reserved For future Use. Do Not Use.
UseReference BOOL Reserved For future Use. Do Not Use.
ReferencePosition VECTOR For MotomanSync Group only: Values for each joint that define closure for target position. See Note below.

Note

ReferencePosition is used for MotomanSync groups to determine closure for the target cartesian TCP position. Only MC_MoveLinearAbsolute and MC_MoveDirectAbsolute use reference position. Other function blocks that have a MoveOptions input will ignore ReferencePosition.

6 axis articulated robots (Such as GP series robots)
  • Posture will be determined by selecting an axis position as close as possible to the ReferencePosition.
  • Default value of 0s will move with shortest path keeping current closure if possible.
Example for a GP8  robot using MC_MoveDirectAbsolute using two different ReferencePosition inputs for the same MCS target position:
  • Starting position: 
    • ACS [ -16.5263  51.0717  -30.086  -121.223  -28.5507  134.1985 ]
  • Target position:
    • MCS [ 400.624  -46.626  210.514  -160.3  -28.2  -6.6 ] 
  • ReferencePosition 1 : [ -10.8359  -1.1247  -19.2985  -29.2957  -48.9523  24.2415 ]
    • Resulting position: 
      • ACS [ -10.8359  -1.1247  -19.2985  -29.2957  -48.9523  24.2415 ]
      • MCS [ 400.624  -46.626  210.514  -160.3  -28.2  -6.6 ]
  • ReferencePosition 2 : [ -10.8388  -1.1255  -19.2996  150.7078  48.9427  -155.7683 ]
    • Resulting position:
      • ACS [ -10.8388  -1.1255  -19.2996  150.7078  48.9427  -155.7683 ]
      • MCS [ 400.624  -46.626  210.514  -160.3  -28.2  -6.6 ]
SCARA (SG series robots)
Example for a SG650 robot MC_MoveDirectAbsolute using two different ReferencePosition inputs for the same MCS target position:
  • ReferencePosition 1 : [ 0  1  0  0 ]
    • Resulting position: 
      • ACS [ -18.1472  34.8064  -10  -46.6582 ]
      • MCS [ 620   -23   200   0   0   -30 ]
  • ReferencePosition 2 : [ 0  -1  0  0 ]
    • Resulting position:
      • ACS [ 13.8977  -34.8064  -10  -9.0878 ]
      • MCS [ 620   -23   200   0   0   -30 ]
