RAPID - Get tooldata by name [MOVED]

apox

Hi,

is there a way to get a tooldata object by its name?

var tooldata tool1 = ....
var tooldata tool2 = ....

var string name = "tool1";

var tooldata currentTool = STR_TO_TOOLDATA(name)

Any help would be appreciated,
ASC

Hello, you can use GetDataVal for this:

here i made quick exemple :

    PERS tooldata tool1:=[TRUE,[[1,0,0],[1,0,0,0]],[0.001,[0,0,0.001],[1,0,0,0],0,0,0]];
    PERS tooldata tool2:=[TRUE,[[2,0,0],[1,0,0,0]],[0.001,[0,0,0.001],[1,0,0,0],0,0,0]];
    PERS tooldata currentTool:=[TRUE,[[1,0,0],[1,0,0,0]],[0.001,[0,0,0.001],[1,0,0,0],0,0,0]];

    PROC main()
        STR_TO_TOOLDATA currentTool,"tool1";
        waittime 3;
        STR_TO_TOOLDATA currentTool,"tool2";
        waittime 3;
    ENDPROC

    PROC STR_TO_TOOLDATA(inout tooldata tooldat,string toolname)
        VAR tooldata tooltemp;
        getdataval toolname,tooltemp;
        tooldat:=tooltemp;
    ENDPROC

Hi,

you can also use the function ArgName to get the name of the tool.

Example:

VAR string stToolName;

TASK PERS tooldata tGripper:=--

 

TPwrite "Tool name: "+ArgName(tGripper);

 

In case of you want to get or set the current tool, work object or loaddata you can also use the instructions GetSysData or SetSysData.

 

Best regards
