Measuring cycles
The calculation in the measuring cycles is performed according to the predefined function:
INT MEASURE( )
MEASURE() delivers a result frame that can be read via $AC_MEAS_FRAME:
● The result is the translation and rotation from the setpoint values recalculated on the
selected frame.
● The result frame is calculated as follows:
The concatenated total frame produces the concatenation of the total frame (prior to
measurement) with the calculated translation and rotation.
NOTICE
No preprocessing limitation
MEASURE() does not trigger any implicit block search stop. Because MEASURE( )
works with the frames of the preprocessing block, the user must decide whether a
preprocessing stop is required prior to the calculation.
Note
If no frame is selected, the calculated frame is not transformed, i.e. the translation and
rotation is determined on the basis of the specified setpoints and the calculated position
of the edge, corner, groove, etc. Where the function is used more than once, it is always
added to the result frame.
The result frame may need to be deleted beforehand.
Semaphore variable
The measurement variable occurs only once per channel. The measuring operation can be
initiated via an operator input in the stop and reset states. The operation can overlap with the
measuring cycles in the stop state. The following variable serves to protect against mutual
overwriting:
$AC_MEAS_SEMA (semaphore of measurement interface)
The semaphore variable $AC_MEAS_SEMA is
● set to 1 at the beginning of the cycle and
● reset to 0 again at the end of the cycle.
HMI does not use the measurement interface if the variable has the value 1.
Error messages
If the client does not log on, group error number 0xD003 is always generated. If a logon
takes place through DIAGN:errCodeSetNrGent or DIAGN:errCodeSetNrPi, then PI_SETUDT
provides the error code corresponding to the following syntax:
EX_ERR_PI_REJ_<return value>, e.g. EX_ERR_PI_REJ_ MEASNOTYPE
