Hi Tom,
I would like to set my coordinates to a particular position when Homing.
Normally the function to use is: EnableAxisDest(Z,ch2->Position);
This sets the Z to 0, but actually I would like to set the value to 441.79 mm this makes (441.79*2000)=883580 counts.
When the ref is done, I would like to set the Machine coordinates to the above value without moving, then EnableAxisDest(Z,883580) is inappropriate.
In the script commands there's a function to set the actual position to a user defined position: Pos<N>=<M>.
How could I proceed to do it?
Regards,
J.
Initial Conditions:
I can't first move to the real 0 then Zero the axis, it would be too dangerous, since I would like my 0 machine to be the table height ref. This is without taking into account the potential tooling on the table.
The code I use is the following:
int SaveZLimits; //place to save limit switch settings
DisableAxis(Z); // Disable Z axis
SaveZLimits = ch2->LimitSwitchOptions;
ch2->LimitSwitchOptions = 0;
// enable axe and begin servoing where we are
EnableAxis(Z);//Active Z
Zero(Z);
// Home Z up first - jog until it sees the limit
Jog(Z,50000); // jog slowly positive
while (ReadBit(142)) ; // loop until IO bit goes high (! retiré pour essai )
Jog(Z,0); // stop
while (!CheckDone(Z)) ; // loop until motion completes
Delay_sec(0.5); //Observation delay
Jog(Z,-3000); // start moving
while (!ReadBit(142)) ; // wait for switch (input #142) to change
Jog(Z,0); // StopMotion
while (!CheckDone(Z)) ; // loop until motion completes
DisableAxis(Z); // disable the axis
Zero(Z); // Zero the position
EnableAxisDest(Z,ch2->Position); // re-enable the ServoTick
ch2->LimitSwitchOptions = SaveZLimits; // restore limit settings
Delay_sec(0.5); //Observation delay
MoveRelAtVel(Z,-2000.0,1000); // move some amount outside the limits
while (!CheckDone(Z)) ; // loop until motion completes
}
}
