Subject: way to check if soft limits hit
Is there a way to check in a user program if soft limits has stopped an axis?

More generally is there a what to check and see if anything is out of the ordinary?

what I want to do is a user program more or less like this:

while( everythingNormal()){
-stuff happens involving moment.  Some coordinated some jogs.
...
...
return;
} 
return;
}

What I am looking for is how to do this: "everythingNormal()"  


Thanks,
Colin

Hi Colin,

Soft Limits trigger a FeedHold.  The variable CS0_StoppingState will be non-zero when in Feed Hold.

Other non-normal indications might be an Axis disabled (!chxx->Enable)

Hi Tom,

Would an axis disabling also cause a feed hold?

Thanks,
