Reading Safemove Safety Signals

.... How do you read Safemove Safety Signals on the FP... I know it can be done because the OEM FP IO screen allows you to read them on the FP...

 

I just can't seem to figure out how to get my app to do it.... and I've tried "GetSignal"... and

the "GetSignals" (notice the "s") doesn't seem to be able either... and "IOFilterTypes" don't seem to have a Safety catagory...

... what's up with that?... this on purpose? ... overlooked?... or do I just have my head up my rear?

    but do you have tryed with this if digital signal??

    DigitalSignal asignal = acontroller.IOSystem.GetSignal("YOURSIGNAL") as DigitalSignal;

    (this working good about all signals on my FP and virtual FP)

    you need to cast your "getsignal" result to ABB.Robotics.Controllers.IOSystemDomain. signal type to view/use it.

    I hope that this can help you.

    bye Ema!

    Hi!
    Can you find and manipulate the signals in RobotStudio from the Offline or Online Tab?
    The SafeMove signals should be as any other signals, as far as I know.
     
    Try to read a signal that you have defined yourself first, like ECapitano suggested.
