Viewing Trigger and Control Actions

You can open the Trigger and Features dialog boxes to understand the event-triggered motion setup.

  1. Under Triggers, in the Trigger column, click next to Proximity type sensor Sensor 1 .
    A task trigger is the event that drives the motion control action for a task. You can define task triggers based on time, previous tasks, or sensed values, such as component position.
    The Trigger dialog box appears with the Sensors folder expanded.
    • You can specify triggers from sensors or tasks, or you can specify time-based triggers.
    • From the Trigger dialog box, you can click Add Sensor to create a new sensor trigger.
  2. Do not change the trigger selection and click OK to close the dialog box.
  3. Under Actions, in the Feature column, click for LinearMotor4 .
    A task action defines or constrains the motion of one or more components in the assembly. You can define actions to suppress or activate mates, to stop motion, or to change values for motors, forces, or torques.

    The Features dialog box appears, with the Motors folder expanded.

    You can specify actions by activating or changing motors, torques, or forces, or by toggling mate suppression. You can also apply an action that stops the motion altogether.

    Do not change the feature selection.
  4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
