Abstract
In Chap. 3, the hardware characteristics for representative actuators such as the AX-12 and MX-28 were described and the key information was on the rotational encoders that were used for the AX-12/18 (a variable potentiometer, restricted to a 300° range) and for the MX-28/64 (a magnetic field detector allowing a full 360° range). In this chapter, the programming aspects for controlling such actuators via the TASK and MOTION EDITOR (V.1) tools are described. The capabilities of the newer R+MOTION (V.2.1) tool will be discussed in Chap. 11 using the DARWIN-MINI and the XL-320.
