AKD BASIC Setup
The AKD BASIC drive is easy to program using the Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code programming language, or BASIC. In this session we will demonstrate how our WorkBench software allows for easy programming, testing and verification of BASIC programs. Additionally, you will learn how to set up and prepare an AKD BASIC drive using the terminal screen.
Topics covered:
- Taxonomy for the trajectory generator, allowing you to create motion
- Strategies for using key motion commands and when they should be utilized
- The rationale behind loops to create motion automation decisions
- How to execute motion
AKD BASIC Advanced Programming Loops
Building from the AKD BASIC Setup course, this session covers core loops: If…Then…Else, For…Next, and Select…Case. This session will focus on how to embed a loop into a larger routine, use When statements, and program an interrupt.
You'll learn how to implement:
- Strategies to embed loops within loops
- Techniques for creating complex motion
- Procedures to interrupt or leave a loop
