Pause in NI 7344 midile of motion

[Renjith]

Hi,

I would like to know how to implement '0 line speed' for few seconds in motion controller 7344. In other words how to implement Pause/ hold in between a 1-axis motion. For motion flex_blend method is using.

What is the use of flex_load_delay is it useful to achieve the requirement.

Regards,

Renjith.

Renjith,

flex_load_delay() adds a delay to the execution of an onboard program, but it doesn't pause a move, so it's not the valid function for your purpose. To pause the execution of a move I would suggest to use flex_load_velocity_override(). This function allows you to vary the programmed velocity of a move between 0% and 100% at runtime. Setting the override value to 0% effectively pauses the move, while resetting it to 100% resumes the move.

I hope this helps,
