Read External Axes Position

[Deleted User]
[Deleted User]
in Robot Controller
I have a seperate motion task that controls two external axes in Independant mode.  Since these two axes are not loaded with a kinematic model there is no TCP for them.  So I can not use CRobT or CPos to do this.  What I want to do is read the current position of the two axes.  Is there a way to do this if the axes is defined as independant and in a seprate motion task other than the robots task? davidlanham2008-2-27 1:15:59

    Hello,

    I'm not sure about this function on IRC5, but try to read about the "TestSignDefine" instruction and "TestSignRead" function.

    This can help for your problem.

    Good luck.

    Bye.

    Sylvain.
