4.8 Test

Single axis motion control, only can control one axis motion each time. You can set the

motion distance and speed, if motion on-laser, can set the laser power when in motion.

If move to the appointed absolute position of mechanical origin, check “Move from origin”,

so the step distance is the absolute position related to mechanical origin.

Take X-axis as example, assuming the current position is 100mm, the step distance is set to

10mm, then move once, so the new position will be 110mm. If check “Move from origin”,

movement time, then move once, the new position will be 10mm, and moving repeatedly , but the

position will be no longer changed.

Note: According to controller rules, the absolute position is no negative value in the whole

breadth. If you check “Move from origin”, and set the step value as negative, then the machine

will hit the limit.
