MLxConveyorData

Stringlength for platform compatibility

User-defined Name of the conveyor

Determines whether this conveyor is active.

Note: this must be set to 1 for conveyor tracking to work.

In addition, all conveyors not being used must be set to 0 or unexpected behaviors may occur.

Placeholder for platform compatibility

If using multiple MotoLogix systems, use this value to point to the correct controller.

If using one MotoLogix system, this should always be set to 0.

Feedback conveyor position in mm.

Note: this value is for reading only - modifying this value will have no effect.

This is the position in mm at which point the system will initialize conveyor tracking operations.

This is the position in mm where the teach points for the following motion commands were taught.

This is the position in mm at which point the system will ignore the part. In that case the part is considered to far on the conveyor for the robot to complete its trajectory.

If ConveyorPosition is greater than MaxStartDistance when an MLxConveyorSyncStart command is issued, the function block will return an error.

User frame number attached to conveyor.

This value is for information only - the active UF must be set in application before starting tracking.

For future use

The mm per encoder count. i.e. [EncoderCount] * EncoderToMMConversion = Distance (mm)

For future use

The number of points to use to calculate a running average of the encoder data. This is used in the robot controller for filtering the continuous flow of offset data. Useful for noisy conveyor data.

Start with value 50 then modify it following the application needs.

Lowering this parameter value results in more aggressive motion with less overshoot but can result in robot alarms.

An offset in mm along the X direction of the conveyor. This can be used to offset a constant error along the conveyor.
