SoftwareNegLimitTriggerValueSet()

void SoftwareNegLimitTriggerValueSet

(

double

triggerValue

)

Description:

SoftwareNegLimitTriggerValueSet sets the Software Negative Position limit value.

Parameters

triggerValue

The limit position, in units.

Remarks

This function is also available in RapidSequencer.

Part of the Limits and Action Configuration method group.

Sample Code:

PhantomAxis

    controller.AxisCountSet(controller.AxisCountGet() + 1); // Configure one additional axis to be used for the phantom axis
 
    int axisNumber = controller.AxisCountGet() - 1;         // Set the axis number to the last axis on the network (subtract one because the axes are zero indexed)
 
    axis = controller.AxisGet(axisNumber);                  // Initialize Axis class
    HelperFunctions.CheckErrors(axis);                      // [Helper Function] Check that the axis has been initialized correctly
 
    // These limits are not meaningful for a Phantom Axis (e.g., a phantom axis has no actual position so a position error trigger is not necessary)
    // Therefore, you must set all of their actions to "NONE".
    axis.ErrorLimitActionSet(RSIAction.RSIActionNONE);       // Set Error Limit Action.
    axis.HardwareNegLimitActionSet(RSIAction.RSIActionNONE); // Set Hardware Negative Limit Action.
    axis.HardwarePosLimitActionSet(RSIAction.RSIActionNONE); // Set Hardware Positive Limit Action.
    axis.HomeActionSet(RSIAction.RSIActionNONE);             // Set Home Action.
    axis.SoftwareNegLimitActionSet(RSIAction.RSIActionNONE); // Set Software Negative Limit Action.
    axis.SoftwarePosLimitActionSet(RSIAction.RSIActionNONE); // Set Software Positive Limit Action.
 
    const double positionToleranceMax = Double.MaxValue / 10.0; // Reduce from max slightly, so XML to string serialization and deserialization works without throwing System.OverflowException
    axis.PositionToleranceCoarseSet(positionToleranceMax);   // Set Settling Coarse Position Tolerance to max value
    axis.PositionToleranceFineSet(positionToleranceMax);     // Set Settling Fine Position Tolerance to max value (so Phantom axis will get immediate MotionDone when target is reached)
      
    axis.MotorTypeSet(RSIMotorType.RSIMotorTypePHANTOM);     // Set the MotorType to phantom

RapidSetup:

Go to axis screen->Limits & Actions. In the image below, SoftwareNegLimitTriggerValueSet sets the value in the Trigger value box shown in the Negative (-) Software box. It currently triggers at -1125899890065410.
