Status flag Home

[Alexanders]

I have a running Home program that changes the status variable Home in the data area persist.UserData[ ].
How to implement the prohibition/permission to work in automatic/ manual modes for KMotionCNC and the operator panel?

Hi Alexanders,

Not quite sure what you mean. But you might add a check such as the one shown below as the Cycle Start Action in KMotionCNC | Tool Setup.

Code: Select all

#include "KMotionDef.h"
#define TMP 10 // which spare persist to use to transfer data
#include "KflopToKMotionCNCFunctions.c"

main()
{
	if (!ReadBit(48) || !ReadBit(49))  // check if all necessary operations have been completed
	{
		MsgBox("Please Home and Set Tool before running Jobs",MB_OK);
		DoPC(PC_COMM_HALT);
	}
}

This stops the automatic execution of programs.But how to prohibit manual movements in KMotionCNC ?

Jogging? Maybe don't enable the Axes until homing.

Is it possible for the axes to move during the Homing procedure if the axes are not enabled?


And one more question.
How to run multiple programs in multiple threads using one button in KMotionCNC ?

no

That shouldn't normally be necessary. But you could have the first Program push another button (possibly hidden) that executes a 2nd program. Or when using Custom Screens you can use Screen Script to perform actions. Such as:

Code: Select all

	if (ScreenScript("Action:4;3;0;0;0;0;BlinkKFLOP.c")) // Execute a Program in Thread #3
		printf("Screen Script Failed\n");
	else
		printf("Screen Script Success\n");
