How can I access the channel structure LimitSwitchOptions field from a dotNet app? Or, is there some other way to determine that an axis has hit a limit?

I made a helper function that packs the options into a valid hex value.  If it is not in the km_axis class I must have put it elsewhere and will dig it up

Hi Ray,
 
Sorry I missed this. But I'm not exactly sure what you are asking.
 
There is a Console Script command that can set the Limit Switch Options.  See:
 
 
When an axis hits a limit the axis is disabled.
 
A message is sent to the Console such as:
 
Axis:N
Neg Limit Disabled
 
Otherwise you might need to check the limit input bit status.

TK

Tom,

What I'd like to be able to do is read the limit switch options from my app, to aid in limit handling in the app. Is there a way to do that?

Also, right now, when I hit a limit, the axis is getting disabled, but when I check the enable state through dotNet, it does not show as disabled. I'm still using 429x, so hopefully that is a bug that is fixed in 429?

Regards,
Ray L.

I updated the .net source to implement the limit switch functionality as you would find it when configuring in KMotion.exe -> Setup and Config.

Have a look at the TuningParams property of the KM_Axis object and let me know if you have any questions.


As previously stated, this was implemented in MM and I did test it there, but have not tested it here. Please report your findings.

Brad,

I'm not sure that does what I need. My DSP limit changes the LimitSwitchOptions on-the-fly - has to in order to handle the way limit switches are configured on my machine. It doesn't appear to me that the TuningParameters->LimitSwitch value gets updated dynamically.

Subject: Re: dotNet Question
LimitSwitch is just a property wrapper around the console command.(Mainly if you were packing your own values into a hex screen)


Have a look at properties::
LimitSwitchWatchNeg
LimitSwitchStopWhenLowNeg
LimitSwitchBitNeg
LimitSwitchWatchPos
LimitSwitchStopWhenLowPos
LimitSwitchBitPos
LimitSwitchAction

Set those as you would in KMotion.exe and then make a call to::
UpdateLimitParams()


It is a one way street, as the aforementioned properties are not being updated from the device. I have not been able to think of a use case where you would need to read them back from the device(except a configuration util... is somebody is going to make a .net version of KMotion.exe?)

If you need to read values, you can use the BitNode class I included in that last update to extract the values from the console command's hex string.

It gets updated every time you read the value(as a hex string as if you were in console).
