SmartComponent - Events for triggering a signal

Henry123 · May 2023

Hi,

I'm quite new in programming and I just started with the development of SmartComponents.
I would like to check the position of a joint value. If it has reached a defined position, the SmartComponent should trigger a DigitalOutput (=limit switch).

My problem now is, how can I connect the joint value with a DynamicProperty? If this is possible, I could use the event "OnPropertyValueChanged" to trigger further methodes.

thanks, Henry

Hello,

Or you can use signal.

You can have a look at my SmartComponent here:

And how to update your output here:

Hi DennisFR,

thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I didn't get it.

My problem is when the mechanism is moved manual, there is no trigger to reset the limit switches. That means, even when the mechanism is not on a defined pose, the limit switch is still triggered.

Thats why I want to directly connect the axis values with the dynamic property of the SmartComponent.

If I got you wrong, could you please describe how you would trigger an event liked described above.

Thanks a lot, Henry

So do you develop your SmartComponent by yourself or you want to use RS ones?

I'm trying to develop them in Visual Studio.

So you can have a look at how I've done in my GitHub
