How to Attach a Linesensor and a Wobj to a Mechanism

Henry123

Hi,

I'm trying to attach a wobj and a Linesensor to a Mechanism. Unfortunatly it does not work. Since there is just happing nothing, I don't know where the problem is. Any ideas?

Wobj:

         public override void OnLoad(SmartComponent component)

        {

            base.OnLoad(component);

            Station stn = Project.ActiveProject as Station;

            if (stn != null)

            {

                IEnumerable<ProjectObject> stationobjects = stn.GetAllObjects();

                foreach (ProjectObject po in stationobjects)

                {

                    if (po.Name.Contains("wobj_1"))

                    {

                        Logger.AddMessage(new LogMessage("Wobj_1 found: " + po.TypeDisplayName));

                        IAttachableChild wobj = po as IAttachableChild;

                        for (int i = 0; i < component.GraphicComponents.Count; i++)

                        {

                            Mechanism mech = component.GraphicComponents[i] as Mechanism;

                            if (mech != null)

                            {

                                if (mech.Name == "XYZ")

                                {

                                    Flange[] flange = mech.GetFlanges();

                                    foreach (Flange fl in flange)

                                    {

                                        if (fl.Name == "XYZ_2") fl.Attach(wobj, false);

                                    }

                                }

                            }

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

        }

LineSensor:

        public override void OnLoad(SmartComponent component)

        {

            base.OnLoad(component);

            

                foreach (GraphicComponent gc in component.GetGraphicComponents())

                {

                    if (gc.Name.Contains("LineSensor"))

                    {

                        Logger.AddMessage(new LogMessage("LineSensor found: " + gc.TypeDisplayName));

                        IAttachableChild ls = gc as IAttachableChild;

                        for (int i = 0; i < component.GraphicComponents.Count; i++)

                        {

                            Mechanism mech = component.GraphicComponents[i] as Mechanism;

                            if (mech != null)

                            {

                                if (mech.Name == "XYZ")

                                {

                                    Flange[] flange = mech.GetFlanges();

                                    foreach (Flange fl in flange)

                                    {

                                        if (fl.Name == "XYZ_2") fl.Attach(ls, false);

                                    }

                                }

                            }

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

I have found the reason why it does not work: The item where the Linesensor and the Wobj shall be attached to is a Library. Its necessary to disconnect it from the library first.

Strange, because I haven't found any suggestion in the API documentation. Just trial and error.

mech.DisconnectFromLibrary()


@ABB: It would be fine to get some kind of message in the Logger if the child can't be attached due to the fact, that the parent is a Library.
