Reading Coordinates Via EthernetIP

Hi,

Is there any way to send Current XYZ coordinates much like in the jogging section of the teach pendant to a PLC via ethernetIP? I've been looking through system outputs and cross connections and haven't had much luck finding a solution. I want to be able to display XYZ coordinates on my HMI while the robot is running.

    Hi,


    You can get the current x,y,z co-ordinates by using the RAPID command CPos - then write some RAPID code to send this to the PLC.

    Unfortunately this will only update the PLC when you run the CPos command to refresh the variables with the current robot position.


    Regards

    Surely there must be a way to monitor the X, Y and Z values all the time, not just when it scans in the Rapid.
