Typedef Documentation

typedef struct calibration_t calibration_t

Calibration structure.

Where to find all values for calculations?

XILab (don’t forget to load the profile for your positioner. The profile should match the full name of your positioner, e.g., 8MT173-25-MEn1.cfg):
- In XILab settings, go to the "User units" tab. Divide the second number by the first one — this is your A coefficient.
- In the "DC motor" / "BLDC motor" / "Stepper motor" tab (depending on your motor type), find the "Encoder counts per turn" field and use it in the formula for calculating coefficient B.
Profile file (open with any text editor; make sure it matches the full name of your positioner, e.g., 8MT173-25-MEn1.cfg):
- Find Step_multiplier= and Unit_multiplier=. Divide the second by the first — this is your A coefficient.
- Find Encoder_CPT= and use this value in the B coefficient formula instead of ENCODER_COUNTS_PER_TURN.

How to calculate Speed, Accel, Decel, and AntiplaySpeed in user units when using a stepper motor with encoder or DC/BLDC motor?

Load the correct profile in XILab for your positioner (e.g., 8MT173-25-MEn1.cfg).
Enable Feedback encoder mode if not already enabled.
Enter speed in the "Working speed" field in user units.
In the "User units" tab, disable the "User units" flag to see RPM.
Multiply the RPM value from "Working speed" by coefficient B. Example: 480 * 0.0000009375 = 0.00045. This value for the 8MT173-25-MEn1 in Encoder mode equals 2 mm/s.

Acceleration, deceleration, and antiplay speed are calculated the same way.

Upon receiving the command "movr", the engine starts to move with preset parameters (speed, acceleration, hold) left or right (depending on the sign of DeltaPosition). It moves by the number of steps specified in the fields DeltaPosition and uDeltaPosition. uDeltaPosition sets the microstep offset for a stepper motor. In the case of a DC motor, this field is ignored.

Parameters

DeltaPosition	shift from initial position.
uDeltaPosition	the fractional part of the offset shift, in microsteps. The microstep size and the range of valid values for this field depend on the selected step division mode (see the MicrostepMode field in engine_settings).
id	An identifier of a device

result_t XIMC_API command_movr_calb	(	device_t	id,
		float	DeltaPosition,
		const calibration_t *	calibration
	)

Shift by a set offset using user units.

Upon receiving the command "movr", the engine starts to move with preset parameters (speed, acceleration, hold) left or right (depending on the sign of DeltaPosition). It moves by the distance specified in the field DeltaPosition.

Parameters

DeltaPosition	shift from initial position.
id	An identifier of a device
user	unit calibration settings

Note: The final coordinate is calculated using DeltaPosition and adjusted by the correction table. However, the correction cannot be done if the motor moves. movr sets the target position equal to the current target position, shifted by delta. But the library can't determine the current target position while moving. So there is no possibility of calculating the final position and correcting it with the correction table.

result_t XIMC_API command_power_off ( device_t id )

Immediately power off the motor regardless its state.

Shouldn't be used during motion as the motor could be powered on again automatically to continue movement. The command is designed to manually power off the motor. When automatic power off after stop is required, use the power management system.

Parameters

id	An identifier of a device

See Also: get_power_settings; set_power_settings

result_t XIMC_API command_wait_for_stop	(	device_t	id,
		uint32_t	refresh_interval_ms
	)

Wait for stop.

Parameters

	id	an identifier of device
	refresh_interval_ms	Status refresh interval. The function waits this number of milliseconds between get_status requests to the controller. Recommended value of this parameter is 10 ms. Use values of less than 3 ms only when necessary - small refresh interval values do not significantly increase response time of the function, but they create substantially more traffic in controller-computer data channel.
[out]	ret	RESULT_OK if controller has stopped and result of the first get_status command which returned anything other than RESULT_OK otherwise.

result_t XIMC_API command_zero ( device_t id )

Sets the current position to 0.

Sets the target position of the move command and the movr command to zero for all cases except for movement to the target position. In the latter case, the target position is calculated so that the absolute position of the destination stays the same. For example, if we were at 400 and moved to 500, then the command Zero makes the current position 0 and the position of the destination 100. It does not change the mode of movement. If the motion is carried, it continues, and if the engine is in the "hold", the type of retention remains.

result_t XIMC_API get_ctp_settings	(	device_t	id,
		ctp_settings_t *	ctp_settings
	)

Read control position settings (used with stepper motor only).

When controlling the step motor with an encoder (CTP_BASE=0), it is possible to detect the loss of steps. The controller knows the number of steps per revolution (GENG::StepsPerRev) and the encoder resolution (GFBS::IPT). When the control is enabled (CTP_ENABLED is set), the controller stores the current position in the steps of SM and the current position of the encoder. Next, the encoder position is converted into steps at each step, and if the difference between the current position in steps and the encoder position is greater than CTPMinError, the flag STATE_CTP_ERROR is set.

Alternatively, the stepper motor may be controlled with the speed sensor (CTP_BASE 1). In this mode, at the active edges of the input clock, the controller stores the current value of steps. Then, at each revolution, the controller checks how many steps have been passed. When the difference is over the CTPMinError, the STATE_CTP_ERROR flag is set.

Parameters

	id	An identifier of a device
[out]	ctp_settings	structure contains position control settings.

For example, "xi-com:\\\\.\\COM3" in Windows (note that double-backslash will be transformed to single-backslash) or "xi-com:///dev/ttyACM0" in Linux/Mac. In case of network device, the "host" is an IPv4 address or fully qualified domain URI (FQDN), "serial" is the device serial number in hexadecimal system. For example, "xi-net://192.168.0.1/00001234" or "xi-net://hostname.com/89ABCDEF". In case of TCP protocol, use "xi-tcp://<ip/host>:<port>. For example, "xi-tcp://192.168.0.1:1818". In case of virtual device, the "abs_file_to_file" is the full path to the virtual device's file. If it doesn't exist, then it is created and initialized with default values. For example, "xi-emu:///C:/dir/file.bin" in Windows or "xi-emu:///home/user/file.bin" in Linux/Mac.

result_t XIMC_API set_ctp_settings	(	device_t	id,
		const ctp_settings_t *	ctp_settings
	)

Set control position settings (used with stepper motor only).

When controlling the step motor with the encoder (CTP_BASE=0), it is possible to detect the loss of steps. The controller knows the number of steps per revolution (GENG::StepsPerRev) and the encoder resolution (GFBS::IPT). When the control is enabled (CTP_ENABLED is set), the controller stores the current position in the steps of SM and the current position of the encoder. Next, the encoder position is converted into steps at each step, and if the difference between the current position in steps and the encoder position is greater than CTPMinError, the flag STATE_CTP_ERROR is set.

Alternatively, the stepper motor may be controlled with the speed sensor (CTP_BASE 1). In this mode, at the active edges of the input clock, the controller stores the current value of steps. Then, at each revolution, the controller checks how many steps have been passed. When the difference is over the CTPMinError, the STATE_CTP_ERROR flag is set.

Parameters

	id	An identifier of a device
[in]	ctp_settings	structure contains position control settings.
