L_MC4P: MC_TrackConveyorBelt: Possible setpoint position step-changes with delta kinematics (corrected from V3.12.0)

Corrected from:
- Library:  L_MC4P_RoboticHandling (FAST Motion) V03.12.00.85

  (contained in PLC Designer  as of V03.12.00)

Response of the new version:
The described setpoint step-changes no longer occur.


What happens?

An incorrect position setpoint is output for a limited time period of approx. 20 ms (dependent on control). This may lead to step-changes in the setpoint selection of the real axes. 

 

When does this behaviour occur?

The MC_TrackConveyorBelt FB from the L_MC4P_RoboticHandling library V03.10.00.106 is used together with the following call sequence:
 - Motion profile generation (e.g. by means of TM_PickAndPlace) and subsequent conveyor-tracking FB call.

If the call sequence is changed as follows, the behaviour will only occur for 1 ms:

- Tracking FB call and subsequent motion profile generation (e.g. by means of TM_PickAndPlace).

 
Which products are affected?
- Library:  Only L_MC4P_RoboticHandling (FAST Motion) V03.10.00.106

  (contained in PLC Designer V03.10.00) 

Short-term measures:

Use the previous L_MC4P_RoboticHandling library version V03.09.01.0011 and the following call sequence:
- Infeeder and outfeeder first and then TM_PickAndPlace.

Evaluation/recommendations:

In dynamic applications, the arising setpoint step-change may lead to a clear response of the mechanics.
