Changes
Added:
- Search function
- Servofloat function
- Math functions
- We added the new CIFX PCIe board. This board supports several fieldbus protocols.
MLxCommunicationReadnow has acommLatencyoutput for monitoring the communication latency of your system.- Communication watchdog in
MLxCommunicationReadimproved. MLxCommunicationWritenow has acommandsInUseoutput for monitoring the fill level of the command buffer.- The setting of
ConveyorStartPositionandConveyorTeachPositionfor theMLxRobotConvSyncStartfunction has changed: it’s now using the variables insideConveyorDatainstead of separate input parameters. - Unused internal variables removed from various functions.
- Data type
MLxxRequestis not used anymore.
- Unused return value of
MLxxCopyAxisDataToRealandMLxxWriteBoolInDintremoved. - The
ReleaseAllLimitsparameter ofMLxSetLimitStatushas changed from output to input. - Variables in
MLxBVariableDatachanged to unsigned so that numbers > 127 work too. MLxGetErrorDetailandMLxGetMessageDetailcaused an array boundary error if the command buffer was full.

Changes
Added:
- Read CRC information
- Collision detection
- Limit release
- Tool calibration
- We added versioning at item level. This also means that every function, data type etc. now has its own version history .
- The
RemoteModesignal was added so that each of the 3 positions of the pendant key switch can be detected. - It is now possible to select between command- and feedback position of the robot TCP.
- Rockwell users can now also use the MotoLogix functions in
Structured Text programs.
For this we added a set of ST capable AOI’s which can be
recognized by the
ST_prefix (e.g.ST_MLxRobotMoveLinearAbsolute).
MLxCommunicationhas been replaced byMLxCommunicationReadandMLxCommunicationWritewhich have better performance.MLxAppDataJob(had no use).
